WIP …

i could

summon you,

but you are already here

you’ve been in my shadow

clinging to my insides

waiting for my consciousness

to ripen

waiting for my signal to open up

our shared eye

with you,

all our ancient promises arise

like shoots of green tendrils

ready to break through the land

and renew our promises

for a new

peace

Opening

Now this one was satisfying. One of the reasons is I took one of my favorite “for kids” supplies and I stretched it beyond its ‘given’ capacity. I mixed it with grown up tools and water and boom 💥

This one also has “legs” which to me means: some mysterious life of its own.

I dedicate this one to Vipassana and all the learnings gained from sensational awareness as the object of meditation.

A retreat for being real simple

This dog.
Always a light
Pelican’s eye view
Amplifying
Heart’s acknowledgement
Lion 🦁 outside
The kindness of a gentle teacher
Chair of contemplation

The winds of mind calm

down, while

pelicans of light pass through

sweeping the air

with their flight

our

freedom is grounded and spacious

descending

through flesh and mind

a resplendent higher vision

I feel you in my soul

hugging me

intimate with me

knowing me from all my lifetimes

Sagittarius full moon: Rights in the Homeland

By my title you might have thought I was going to go geopolitical, or cultural revolutionary, or some type of message about the collective resistance phenomenon taking place. That is valid. I’m swirling around that experience of “just expression” for the collective and bringing my attention back “home” to the point with Jupiter ingress Cancer. Jupiter is the modern ruler of Sagittarius. It’s also the ancient ruler of Pisces. I’m considering it pretty fortunate to have this full moon conjoining my natal Neptune in Sagittarius and activating the trine with my natal Sun and my natal North Node in Leo. So, I do feel like I have something to say. But in my mind’s eye it looks like a spiritual shield against oppression.

It’s easy to see that the tensions around Saturn/Neptune conjunction that won’t be near exact until July is going to be “messing with,” via square aspect, the Cancer planets (right now Jupiter and Mercury) but soon, it will be the Sun, too.

I’ve had Mars transiting my natal North Node in Leo, now, too, for a little bit here. What I can say is that I’m experiencing a new level of energy–it’s bonding nicely with the Moon here in Sagittarius. My natal Mars/Moon position isn’t so great, but this transit is feeling like a liberation of energy from those old constraints. I’m in a place of radical acceptance, and it’s not the kind of “lay down and take it” acceptance. I feel my empowerment is on the path of thriving.

To me the key to this chart is actually Pluto up there in Aquarius. Both Pluto and Mars strike me as very well-positioned in this FULL moon chart. Pluto is sextile to Saturn/Neptune in Aries and an out of sign trine with Uranus in the later degrees of Taurus. This is definitely energy that can be dedicated to deep transformation. Pluto’s play here is no joke. Despite that it squares Venus here– I think that “special square” points to the question that Pluto is asking us: What do you value most? What is at stake here? Freedoms, comfort, safety and all of the above. So how can you secure your own destiny within this crazy landscape of turmoil? How can you focus that life force very pointedly and directly to the inner worlds? I don’t spend a lot of my time in the thoughts of the world in order to solve problems these days. Although, I absolutely respect those who lend their voices and protest in peace. July is going to be transformational, and even more-so February of 2026 –but, I see the “setup” as taking place now. How can you position yourself in the most powerfully self-possessed way? You are the first arbiter of you. Don’t let the oppressors win inside your heart. The main oppressors: hate, greed. Guard your heart to the processes unfolding, and know that — you never stand alone.

This Mess We’re In

I invite the silence

I invite the silence 

While I’m running fingers through my hair

When I slip a dish into the dishwasher 

I open my ears, 

The sounds of clink and swish from the water

I call to what’s under that

My heart beating 

Keeping pace with my movements 

Supplying me

One moment and I’m in 

A dream

In between the turning of this page

In between the passion of dreamed kissing

I’m between the sticks that rub together making fire crackling

I’m setting the table

I’m driving the car

I’m grieving for silence

To be alone with my precious losses;

or to run from them within the quiet

Where a scream cannot escape in the same way 

Under this examination 

Under this breath

The stillness of my inner winds

I crave the silent cave

Of my inner knowing 

The moment of sweat that collects on my brow 

That elicits the wind

That joins with the wind

That feels the flush of air 

That knows spacious longing 

And a settling 

That sits with grief as a blanket 

and while I lift this next dish into the sink, full now of sacred, too

I poise it over the dishwasher 

Considering which shelf is best,

I hug myself a little more tightly

I reassure me:

The trees know you long for them, too

The grass knows your ear against the ground

Listening 

The listening knows your listening even when 

You talk past everyone in the room;

Why? 

Because you are made of earth, and she is you. And you are not a random 

Stranger to this land

Your blood and veins 

And the molecules and atoms

And smaller still, inside quarks 

You are sparkling with divine 

delight 

And your silence is indeed so spacious and filled with creation, bustling and ready to go..

If only, if only, there was a response. 

Call and response is the nature

of dance,

music,

art,

Truth.

Shakti and Shiva

Yin and Yang

Bless me with this urge to know

As it is deeply sparkling within me;

Let my longing not be an imposter for

Another distraction

But lead to all the timeless Romes..

through silk roads and deep within

the forest.

A dish is not a dish here.

I can live many lives within this one,

I can live, even, quite possibly

without you.

Gemini New Moon Spark of Thought, Word, Creation

Gemini New Moon

With the energy forging (Aries) form with mind (Gemini), I’m abuzz. We have had more picnics, get togethers and parties in the last few days than a while. It’s been a nice balance of peacefulness, lots of nature, birds, speaking, and more depth in brief communications.

With all the aspects to Pluto in this New Moon it seems to be facilitating that depth within connecting, while also bringing in levity and flexibility.

It’s a great time to study, write, speak, schedule, plan a design, prep for summer, program, tech work, logistics, home organization, and even socializing and lounging. It’s also good to play a sport that involves logistics and communication, coordination and/or embarking on joining such a team, event or similar project.

Venus and Mars are in trine in Fire signs so inspirations and sparks are available in dating, making new alliances and balancing masculine and feminine expressions.

Have a great time. Uranus is a little bit close so don’t be surprised about surprises there’s still room for that. Regardless there’s lots of fire 🔥 in this chart and fire works well with air (Gemini). Gemini conjunct moon ♊️ in trine with Pluto in Aquarius is auspicious for communities and connections. There’s a strong basis for active harmony right now.

May your end of the school year moments, and turn of the season/ late spring find you being fulfilled! Oh, drink lots of water!

Thanks for reading. Speaking of: what are you reading right now (books) ? What are you planning to read next?

Saturn ingress Aries

From Farmer’s Almanac

When Will Saturn Be in Aries

  • Saturn enters Aries May 24, 2025.
  • Saturn retrograde in Aries: July 13, 2025.
  • Saturn re-enters Pisces (retrograde): September 1, 2025.
  • Saturn re-enters Aries (direct): February 13, 2026.
  • Saturn leaves Aries: April 12, 2028.

If you are feeling the fires lifting within you, you would be on point with what is happening ethereally. This is a significant planetary influence about to modify our lives in the ways we meet our commitments, consolidate our experiences and rise to new challenges. Our relationship even to “aging” is changing and becoming more “active.” If you look above, Saturn will be in Sextile (harmonious aspect) with Pluto, Sun and Mercury — while in close correspondence with planet Neptune which it will be making its conjunction with close degrees in July 2025, and then formally be in exact conjunction on February 20, 2026. The only square with major planets that Saturn will be making upon its ingress is to Jupiter in Gemini. As the Sun is now in Gemini and Jupiter is considered a benefic planet, its influence is still good and works positively.

Aries is a bit of a trailblazer and pioneer. While its true that Saturn in Aries could lead to frustrations around action and motivation, it can also move very “quickly” after its ending stay in Pisces–giving a renewed sense of energy and a definite re-birth opportunity. You may find yourself doing work or routines that require more energy and the impulse to get started features more dominantly. You may feel the urge to “get out there” more and really make some of the changes that you have been “sitting on” for quite some time while Saturn was in Pisces, and you might have been directionless or in a “holy waiting/pause” pattern. Saturn is also sextile Uranus which is quite a generational influence. This connection between these planetary influencers gives a balancing effect for novelty and tradition. Despite all the radical changes and challenges happening now, this does have a moderating/tempering effect–which is absolutely needed. Truly slow and steady changes lead the mission for sustainable improvements.

Personally, I have been going from conference to conference, very busy this month and the end of last month. I have much work at home to complete and finishing up loose ends on many transformational experiences/classes and trainings that will last me into the new year. I have a lot of curriculum prep to work on creating structure and content and preparing for next years offerings. It is an extremely productive and transformational time for me. It also includes travel, family visits, and lots of schedule adjustments with summer camps and extra curricular actives as a “karate/math and dance/artist mom.” We celebrate my daughter’s 6th birthday this weekend, and to say that I wish I could be organized in the midst of so much business– well, it’s quite funny to think I could get a leg up! However, I do feel that this energy with Saturn will help me continue to propel forward, building connections, strengthening skill sets, and developing deeper as a human and a spirit in a body. It might even lighten my load a bit by helping me burn up used bits of old versions of myself as I consciously and with great dedication take my current class “Reluctant Shaman 2.0” into its final two weeks, and we continue our deep dives, freeing up our resources for growth, courage, and closer more enduring and nourishing connections.

There is no shortage of fun planned!

The weight of the world will not be lifted with Saturns move into Aries, but your role in how you can offer up your own way of creative social action will be illuminated. How you do function as individual in your community/communities? There is a way to live in these times, and each ONE of us holds that key. Let us continue to gather and collect, receiving support and sharing support with one another. Let’s see if some people who have been in a pause will return from their shadows of Piscean “meditative retirement” and come back into the fold more fully, and renewed. What ONE thing would you like to offer to the world or your community as an offering and unique contribution that only you can provide? What your favorite motivational song? I’ll go first:

I can offer my authentic voice every day to my community–and not shy away or collapse when coming under fear–but I can continue to watch myself stretch and go deeper into the awareness and understanding for how my mind works–and how I am continually transcending it.

Favorite NOW motivational song: Dance with me! 🙂

Please share also what your summer plans are! I can’t wait to know! I’m sure you have some, even if it’s just to stare at a wall. I want to know about it!

Shadow Talk

I know I haven’t been to the blog for a while. We have a full moon in Scorpio and maybe you felt it a day or two before, or maybe a day or two later. Maybe you felt it on the day of the full moon. It wouldn’t matter. It’s still the moon leaning in, whispering in your ear.

What shadows lurk at night, or when quiet or for a pause in a moment? That’s how shadows are. You can track them in the corner of your awareness if you’ve been practicing this work before, or maybe you could get surprised by a spontaneous cry or a moment of depth as your psyche seems a wee little bit louder. Maybe you are also subject to taboo topics, strange mysteries…unfulfilled desires.

Scorpio is a wonderful sign. I love it so much because it knows treasure like no other sign. It’s willing to go where no one else treads.

This is how we deepen.

We face it.

Or, we hide.

But either way, with Scorpio, we at least know just a little bit more about ours and others’ motivations, because Scorpio handles deeply human moments. Deeply primal moments, and Scorpio also understands ‘innocent’ and ‘guilty’ better than any other sign. It’s just not so good at justice (that’s where Libra comes in). Scorpio should never seek its own justice, vigilante behavior rarely serves. Dig deep and you will find gold; go where no one else will and you will see what is rarely found: the treasure of knowing thyself, just a little bit more.

Sink into Earth with this Taurus New Moon

I have no doubt that my message for today’s New Moon will be aligned with the gardeners and nature lovers. I’ve been reaching out to Luna for the message and she’s been very clear that with the strong energies of Mars/Pluto opposition, all the Aries placements still in effect, and that challenging aspect of Saturn and Venus conjoined with the North Node, we’ve never needed to be sunk in with nature more.

Uranus is also still in Taurus in process of wrapping up its stay. From July 7, 2025 for the next 7 years, Uranus will ingress Gemini and fill the mental plane with communications, logistics, innovations, disruptions, and more. Fortunately Jupiter has been transiting Gemini and paving the way for Uranus, setting up a good vibe. Jupiter is known to be the great benefactor of the zodiac. Next month the Sun will be in Gemini and that will further light up that area of the Zodiac and this will all be in preparation for Uranus to transit there by July.

For now, we have dedicated moments to reflect on this New Moon in Taurus and set our intentions to focus on what grounds us, brings us deeply into ourselves, and most opens us for those unique and intuitive messages from nature and from spirit. It’s essential at this juncture to take a break from media—even just a small sector, or reduce its time.

For your meditations:

Here are some words from Rosemary Gladstar, one of the most renowned Western herbal pioneers,

Take a moment. Open a jar of herbs that perhaps you grew and dried yourself… draw in a long deep breath… and if you pause awhile with the plant, it can carry you forward into the future.

Let the plant speak to you—not with words, but in the way that only plants know how.

Let’s enjoy the ineffable this New Moon in Taurus. Gaze at the stars, sink your feet in the dirt or the sand. Roll down a hill in a meadow, blow off the seeds of a dandelion. Make dandelion wine. I have some tinctures that I am ready to strain, and the birds song has been especially poignant.

Another fitting way to celebrate the phases of the Moon in relationship with the Sun, valuing the cycles that nature gives us— those that repeat—and let us know that we do have a regularity in life, there is consistency, pacing and calm: Celebrate with music, drums, piano, whatever speaks to you. Perhaps you love the sounds of harp, accordion or trumpet. Enjoy the moments of non-verbal, enjoy the spaciousness of sound and sing or imbibe the air and earth with your voice.

I hope this post has stirred some calmness and pleasure within you. Let me know in the comments if this new moon is touching your natal chart and which houses! I’m happy to help with a consult in the future years when I open up more time in my schedule.

For now I will leave you all with some beauties:

My deepest wish is for all beings to experience happiness and be free from suffering. 🙏🏻💕

It’s not an idyllic wish. It’s grounded in a desire for the progress of moving in the that direction, for peace and kindness to flourish in the lives of all. This wish will continue to flourish no matter what circumstances show up or appearances of the world would submit that we are not gonna end up there, well and wise.

None of our Earth journeys are in vain, purposeless or random.

“To All My Relations”

Full moon in Libra (yesterday) Buddha Birthday (tomorrow)

Venus and Saturn have been side-by-side creating a number of nuanced (Pisces) experiences around our values and commitments. Some relationships might feel strained–other’s might benefit from renewing commitments and looking at the structures around give and take/exchange. The bouncing back and forth over the tariffs implementation and pausing is completely evident in the stars. The strong Pisces energy highlights the unknowns–the awareness that there’s a veneer around what is actually happening in the communication via media (Mercury is also in Pisces) and the Venus/Saturn conjunction is bringing the sense of strain, austerity, scaling back, unfairness, and bringing in a tightness and fear or even a focus about consolidation around resources. We are all “soul-searching” over what is durable, what remains steadfast. We are looking for principles to live by that remain firm regardless of whatever. There might also be a lot of comparison’s to the past, with Mars transiting in trine from the Venus/Saturn conjunction to the sign of Cancer (which rules memories). Idealism is acting wobbly and wonky right now.

With Chiron conjoining Sun in Aries, some primordial wounds that have never healed get highlighted. Chiron was himself a great healer, but he was unable to heal from his wound. Chiron went into the healing arts as also a way to heal himself. A Rumi poem as quoted in link above demonstrates the way the healing path works for the healer for self and others (for more information on the details of Chiron’s story).

Your doctor must have a broken leg to doctor.

Your defects are the ways that glory gets manifested.

Whoever sees clearly what’s diseased in himself

Begins to gallop on the Way

Don’t turn your head. Keep looking at the bandaged place.

That’s where the light enters you.

“Shakyamuni Buddha’s Birthday April 15th marks the anniversary of Buddha Shakyamuni demonstrating the attainment of enlightenmentin 589 B.C.E.

This is an extremely important day in the Buddhist calendar because our actions are 100,000 times more powerful than on other days.

This event is marked by special purification and fasting retreats in Kadampa Buddhist Centers worldwide based on the practice Drop of Essential Nectar.

This practice, which is done in conjunction with Eleven-faced Avalokiteshvara. It is very powerful for purifying negative karma of body, speech, and mind, and for pacifying strong delusions such as desirous attachment and hatred.

It is also a special method for receiving blessings and improving our experience of love, compassion, and bodhichitta.

Source: https://kadampa.org/buddhism/buddhas-enlightenment-day

When we talk about Buddha and Buddhism the supreme ultimate goal of enlightment is for the purpose of ALL BEINGS.

I’ve been celebrating Vesak for years, maybe moreso informally. I originated for me years ago when I aligned powerfully with the love and investment in the process of becoming a clear mirror. This continues to be my goal and deepest devotion. For me, this goal was never formally religious but I am learning to move more deeply into my chosen path. For that reason, it is taking on an interesting form.

Libra represents the scales and the balance point. The Aries/Libra spectrum is both an opposition and a connection for common ground. There is awareness of Self in order for the Awareness of Others. If one cannot truly comprehend the value of one’s own precious human life, they cannot fully confirm and practice the preciousness of others’ lives, and other living beings (non-human). I’ve enjoyed astrology and various mystic devotions because they tend to overcome the dogma that is often present with religion. There’s a relationship with the land and the cosmos that speaks so strongly to me of the Earth and our relating within it. The Earth is “our perceived center.” It is a temple in and of itself and the best way for me to express that devotion.

I will be practicing purification for this upcoming Buddha’s birthday, and enjoying my continued spiritual journey in all its forms. I feel the rich tapestry of all the traditions I have been a part of all my life, and my connection and linkage within many lineages as a completion and continuation of my past lives, with the reverence and respect I have carried forward.

Whatever you celebrate, and wherever you are, I hope you are enjoying your precious human life in a way that makes sense to you, and fulfills you!

Happy Full Moon In libra! May we deepen and connect with what is most true for us. Love to all!

Affirmation Saturday for your Aries Vibes

I know that greatness begins in the minds of the great. I know that what I believe about myself is what I will become–so I believe in the best for myself.

I am practical and realistic, and I keep my feet on solid ground. But I also give myself the freedom to live up to my fullest expectations.

I never limit myself by the short-sighted beliefs of others–instead I open myself up to the broad horizons of unlimited possibility.

When someone says I “cannot,” I answer “why not?” When someone says, “It’s impossible,” I answer that nothing is more impossible than I believe it to be. And I truly believe with my individual fortress of faith, with me, anything is possible.

I have drive, spirit, stamina, and endurance. I have a good strong winning attitude about myself and about everything I do. I am practical and realistic, but I also believe in the best possible outcome of any situation.

If I ever had any doubts about myself in the past, today is a good day to put them aside. It’s a good day to throw out any disbelief that ever held me back.

I know that I am headed in the right winning direction, and I look forward and never look back. I have the ability to focus on one thing at a time, so I concentrate my attention on the job at hand–and I get it done!

Today is one of those days when nothing can stand in my way. When I need extra determination, I’ve got it! When I need more energy and drive, I’ve got it! I’ve got the power to get it done and the patience to see it through, no matter what the job or challenge may be.

Right now, even while I am telling myself these truths about me, I know that I can succeed and I am succeeding. At this moment, if I think of any challenge in front of me, I know that I will become even more a winner because of it.

I keep my chin up, my head held high. I look, act, sound, think, and feel like the winner I am! Any-time a problem starts to get me down, I get myself right back up! I tackle problems and I solve them. When frustration or defeat threatens me, I just become that much stronger, more positive, better organized, and more determined than ever!

Right now, today, this very moment, I am capable of giving myself the gift of absolute self-assurance, self-belief, and powerful non-stop confidence in myself.

No matter what it is that requires the very best of me, I can do it and I know I can.

Today is a great day. And I’ve got what it takes. So I choose to do it right, do it well! I choose to live today with joy and love.

I know that it’s all up to me. One hundred percent!–every bit of it. All of it is in how I look at it and what I do about it! That’s what winning is. That’s why I am a winner.

I set my sights. I keep my balance. I don’t hesitate. I don’t hold back! I know that the world is full of opportunities. Look at what I can do; look at where I can go! Look at what I can do just by saying, “Yes!” to myself!

Just look at what I can do today! I am incredible… and today is a great day to show it!

Source: Shad Helmstetter, Ph.D. (1982), from What to Say When You Talk To Your Self.

I want you to know that it doesn’t matter where you start, or where you want to go. What matters is you remove any resistance that you have to reading and believing the above affirmations. You need to see your worthiness, and know that the world needs you. These are the two keys: 1). YOU MATTER 2). The world needs you to be fully in your own power.

If today is the day where you lost all your motivation, then let it drain out of you and commit the first thing in the morning tomorrow. Start making promises to yourself that you keep. Build your rapport with yourself and don’t wait for something ‘outside’ of you to make you feel worthy. No one and nothing can do that for you.

In peace there is confidence. That’s how we rest: we know the good that is on its way because it starts with us.

Rollerskating the Solar Eclipse March 29, 2025

User error had me lose my blog post that I wrote this morning about the upcoming solar eclipse. I selected “yes” to discard my draft. I meant to only discard the picture I posted because I wanted to remove the “location” from the photo for security safety before I posted it. So when I meant to say yes to “discard?,” it was to the photo, and not to the whole post draft (at least to me, but not the computer). Whoops!

That photo will show up later in my post. It’s a good idea, PSA: remove your location from the settings on your pictures before posting them.

So I’m writing (trying) to write the post again. It will be easier to type this on my computer so I will save the draft, now. Before I did that, the issue with updating a photo to my new draft was that the photos screen was no longer working! I deduced that I probably needed to update my jetpack software app on my iphone. This actually worked. Many interruptions, but problem solved. Now, to keep the flow with writing? Haha—

But… Before I could write this post, I also needed to treat a patient in my private practice, and now I want to get this blog post done before my meeting in 40 min. So I will write quickly, but efficiently. (Did I mention that I roller-skated for two hours on Sunday!?) The picture above was from the time I rollerskated before that. I got new skates a few weeks ago! The old Chicago skates were not meant for the serious skater. I went into the store to get a new stopper for the toe tip, and asked about the stability around the plates on the mounting hardware; as a result the woman directed me to buy new skates. I decided since I want to keep my wrists, spine, knees, and all my bones healthy–reduce the chance for falls, I ought to update my skates!

What does this have to do with astrology and the Solar Eclipse in Aries? Well, yes, Aries and mobility: you got that part. But, the first post was more integrated and I helped the reader (YOU!) look back to the following dates:

March 29, 2006

March 29, 1987

These were the last Aries eclipses in the series. This Saturday will be the last in the Aries series until at least 2032. Where is Aries in your chart? You are always welcome to contact me and I can help you look deeper into your personal astrology.

(Honestly the post I wrote before this one was much better) but it was missing the PSA, so I think you know, it’s okay.

For me, the eclipse is going to be taking place in my natal 2nd house of values, earning income and what I claim as mine. For me, it also contains the sign of Pisces, so yes, this aspect of my life has acted like a slippery fish. However, I will say that I am a generous person, very giving and very selfless. In fact this Aries energy has me really eager to meet with my Buddhist class tonight. My Reluctant Shaman group will also be meeting again as I’m starting to get into more and more “group work.” The previous group members all want to do the sessions again, so I will need to pick the date and get started. We have the time figured out that works for us all. Each step at a time.

I’m just gonna move on and share all sorts of stuff from my 5 year old daughter:

She won 2 gold medals this Saturday at her first ever Karate Tournament: She earned it in FORMS and FLAG SPARRING. I’m really proud of her. Also, I can see her personal artist style emerging already! Unlike me (i’ve been an eclectic artist with no real discernible “style,” her style is becoming unmistakeable to me!)

She made this gorgeous mantra box in her meditation class on Sunday–and I photographed it from several angles so you can have a looksie. I see her style in her drawing, coloring, and also in her other artistic media. Her school is really neat and they have a Great Artist event night coming up in April. The student’s grade levels each study an artist who is making social change with their artwork. I’ll share more about her class’s chosen artist to study in the next month or so (hint: She’s Indigenous Australian).

Below is her most recent LEGO creation. She is a genius with following instructions in order to build. This particular set has 3 different things that can be made. Of course the unicorn is the cutest of the 3, so it will probably be showcased for a while before it gets converted into the peacock and the seahorse.

See her box: Please ignore the napkin and the other things I had in my hand. Our lives move so fast, it’s tough enough to capture what I captured! She’s always creating and solving problems. I think it’s lovely there’s a precious mantra inside. “Om Mani ____ ” We don’t know. It’s not OM Mani Padme Om. It’s something else. Oh, it’s “OM ah HUM” which means, “Body, Speech, Mind”

Well, I ran out of time!

Yes, this eclipse is part of the bigness of the Neptune move into Aries bit! You know, that transit will last until 2039. So enjoy! We are definitely living in fast-moving and self-starting times.

How can you motivate yourself this Spring to be with the energy of Aries and also let go of the whole part about the future and all the unknowns? Aries is the fire that gets us moving. Have a great day, week, and apologies for the less than awesome post today–at least for what I wanted to write about astrology. I have a lot to share.

Remember to look at those dates I listed above and spend a wee little bit of time recalling what happened back then for insight into this week and the next 6 months of development.

AUM AH HUM

Struggle vs. Challenge

Gorillas 🦍

I did this pretty quick sketch and I struggled throughout it. But! The whole time I’m thinking to myself: you are listening in during a meeting with a topic that is also challenging, and you are making it work! You are doing the repetitions. The outcome is not the point. The outcome is never the point.

You just go with it. You share.

This is what you couldn’t do when you were younger; when you didn’t know it was okay to be you, AS YOU ARE.

What I did was use a random animal generator online. I wanted to have an animal to work with that was spontaneous and that would make it even more of a challenge.

I could worry about the end product and fix whatever is wrong or could be improved upon, or I can just try again tomorrow with another spontaneous challenge.

What can you do to help yourself stay on the move? If you can stop being so critical and just let go…. What would you do?

Give me some feedback about the emotion here. I’m curious about the energy. Please do share!

Dr. Joe Dispenza Progressive Retreat

The eclipse of the moon in Virgo passes and transcendent thoughts continue to arise. I’m writing this quick piece within the energy of the last day of this event. I will be turning off my phone shortly.

Every human I interacted with I love from the feelings of forever being known in my heart. When I turn off my senses and go into meditation, I let go the über driver, who we also connected, and I recede from all things outside my 5 senses. I become new again by dropping myself into the field.

This field and void is the same one I go into when I am meditating with my Buddhist Sangha, when I am sitting alone in the mornings, or afternoons. This field is the precious pregnant emergent edge of all there is.

Dwelling regularly in the beats of these soft moments, rain or shine, lightning or gray and dull. There’s room for all things to become nothing and for me to live in my own grace.

I’m inviting you into the field with me! Come make your peace and affirm your inner power to create your life, your universe, and your body.

May all beings be free from suffering.

May all beings thrive.

I’m in the 100th year of the old Shrine building in Los Angeles. The city has great energy this weekend. Everyone at the hotel is kind, easy-going. It’s probably because they are all retreat attendees, but no, it’s the staff. Los Angeles is not yucky. The energy is grounded and bustling. People here have dreams and creativity and I can feel it in the air.

May peace be yours…

As it spreads…

Unbroken waves of coherent intentions…

Going into the ALL for the ALL

Prosperity and Flow

This is one of my two posts for the next week or so, unless poetry is spontaneous. Next week I will be with Joe Dispenza in Los Angeles, meditating. The group session was rescheduled when the fires were raging. Still much healing work to be done in Los Angeles: The City of Angels!

I’ve been working with a local group on prosperity consciousness. We are having fun. This is the first time I’ve actually collaged as I usually manifested my dreams by other means! It’s just fun to be with a group of such heart-centered individuals. I am also and have been studying with Rosemary Gladstar and her very long term students. John Finch will be 80 this year, and Jane Richmond his life partner, both LEO suns like me, have an herb school called, “Self Healing School.” I have been trained for over a decade now in Chinese Herbal Medicine, but I wanted to be closer friends with my local group and so I signed up for their prosperity class. Tonight will be the 3 week of 6. They have spent their decades specializing in Western Herbal Medicine and back in the 70s when Rosemary Gladstar was on this coast, studied at her California Herb School on the Russian River in Northern California. I have a natural affinity with their vibes. They are so heart centered, and basically I just like to hang out at their house and be creative, spiritual, and inspired with them!

You might have guessed, I am a member of so many groups. I am. One day I dream that when I’m ready to really start moving forward with my own offerings, I’ll attract the tribe who want to be by side. As I have too often signed up for others’ groups because of the love of being with them and meeting whomever shows up and being in the synergy.

I’m doing something vulnerable here. I’m actually sharing my INCOMPLETE dream boards. I’m not stressing over details, I’m just having fun as my focus and going with the flow. It’s not DONE ✔️ and I reserve the right to change any and all of it at my whim! All artists understand this. ✨⭐️✨⭐️✨

Plus, I never have to explain myself unless it’s truly necessary. Haha.

So without further ado:

Earthy luxury and sensuous dynamic environments

I’m working on the “right space” for newer visions of workspace AND for the right colleagues to be able to SYNERGIZE so that my own work also grows. Yes I envision some “high end” stuff. So be it. Don’t judge me. I am all about everybody so I plan to have several ways to contribute to the whole and not be exclusive but I need to generate revenue and I’m already highly qualified. I know people generating revenue with much less investment and training that I have invested in. So, it’s more than possible. Oh no! I’m explaining myself. Haha.

Peaceful rejuvenation in a natural environment

And here is my gentle peace:

White space is nurtured as the unsung becoming will end up filling

I’m planning on posting around the time or “in the energy of” the Joe Dispenza meditation group collective.

We are here, all of us, to shift things Spiritually, Materially, and Soufully for the whole. Not one of us can remain behind. Clean and clear your inner Easel! Get your hands dirty in the soil and with the Earth and breathe deep like you deserve to be here. Your body deserves to be well and your mind deserves to be FREE.

We can do this all responsibly…

And with integrity…

And so it is and So mote it Be!

I just got hold of some new organizational tools which will hopefully help. Less “talking” more “doing” and “being.”

I still plan to visit your blogs, your heart’s expressions, your beautiful dreams: May they grow with each day! The pull into satisfaction. Nothing to change, just to accept and be and dream if you desire it, and drop it if you don’t. Be real, be authentic and show up or take time out. It’s all just about YOU, inside you! 🥰🩷

I’m here for you. You are here for me! We are all in this together!
