Moon Mondays: Swimming with Jaws 

Moon Mondays: Swimming with Jaws 

I’m pumped about today’s astrology. Mars, Venus and the moon are all changing signs, and then the latter two meet up — all tonight. After that, the sun joins the sign-shifting action when it moves into Gemini on Wednesday. More rapidly shifting energies are launching us into our...

Moon Mondays: Dreams you won’t admit 

Moon Mondays: Dreams you won’t admit 

Despite countless efforts to the contrary, I feel like I’ve spent most of my life pretty unconscious. I thought I was aware. I was smart. I devoured self-help books. I dipped my toes into multiple spiritual practices. I imagined I was doing better than most.  ...

Moon Mondays: Beltane burn notice

Moon Mondays: Beltane burn notice

Taurus season, despite the pleasure seeking, can be challenging. It’s hard to drop into our bodies, especially for those of us with physical trauma in our histories. Spring brings constantly changing weather, unpredictability, fluctuating temperatures and flustering wind. We’re ready for heat, but there’s frost on the grass again. It’s unsettling. Is winter going or coming?  I know firsthand. It’s been a rough spring for...

Moon Mondays: Drought, dirt and damn good skiing  

Moon Mondays: Drought, dirt and damn good skiing  

Luscious Taurus season slid in yesterday, right as the ski season came to an almost unbelievable close. What a long, strange trip it’s been. We were incredibly fortunate to float merrily down the mountain all the way to April 19. Even...

Moon Mondays: Reset is in the air — will you use it? 

Moon Mondays: Reset is in the air — will you use it? 

The skies are alive with the sound of astrology. Multiple planets are convening and shifting signs this week. Mars meets up with Neptune and Saturn. The sun joins Chiron. The Aries new moon provides a reset and Taurus season takes root. Lots of juice swirling for one little week.   When planets align, they join forces. Parts of our lives overlap, like a fold in the...

Moon Mondays: Avoid burnout with this tiny fix 

Moon Mondays: Avoid burnout with this tiny fix 

I’m hyper-disciplined. Until I’m not. Give me a system, and I’ll follow it to the letter — dot every i, cross every t. But once I get overwhelmed, I’ll bail well before the summit, plummeting down the mountain at a harried pace.  When...

Moon Mondays: Pleasuring yourself 

Moon Mondays: Pleasuring yourself 

Venus slipped into Taurus early this morning, enticing us to pleasure ourselves. Yes, like that — but also toward the full, unapologetic experience of our senses.   I love the feeling in my body when I’m making ski turns through newly-softened spring slush. The ease of holding...

Moon Mondays: Stop crossing your boundaries 

Moon Mondays: Stop crossing your boundaries 

Peacefully sinking into a guided meditation, I breathed, grounded and basked in a nice warm glow. All was going good so far. Imagine a person I need to set a boundary with standing in front of me. Okay, starting to question why I would bring this irritating person into my morning meditation, but I give...

Moon Mondays: The space between love and war 

Moon Mondays: The space between love and war 

Love or war — what’s your choice?  And I don’t mean the new-agey “it’s all about love” trip. Do you choose to love yourself or to wage war within? Is your internal scale out of balance between self-trust and self-abuse?   This week’s Pisces new moon and Aries equinox invite you to explore that...
