With the recent New Moon we ushered in the Lunar New Year tradition of the next animal to be our inspiration for the year. This year as most of my readers already know is the year of the Wood Yang Dragon. As i work with Traditional East Asian medicine and acupuncture, I am very keen on how to balance the wood element. You can use these acupuncture points to help regulate some of the extra ‘angst’ and tension that comes with the surging forth of life (or the life that tries to push through the blockages and stagnancies created from non-movement). I wish it were as simple as just doing just these two points, but people are complex and it takes time to do a full assessment and intake. For now, may this be helpful and serve you in your year with the Yang Wood Dragon. Sending you all the blessings for an auspicious New Year.

Humans are so incredible. On one level each one of us is so unique with fingerprints that are like snowflakes; if we look closer even, I’m sure the tiny, fibrous patterns of the iris of the eye reflects the distinctive light with respect to its unique balance of melanocytes to its surface dips, pits, and ridges. Or consider all the unfathomable possible variations in size and shape between each person’s stapedius, the muscle slightly larger than a millimeter that mobilizes the stapes, the smallest bone in the human body, if your measurements are small enough.

But, emotions? Mental chatter? Self-doubt, anger… We all have these components. Most of us have these components in different ratios, but the formula for provocation is usually the same. There is a trigger. There is a feeling that’s coated with a thick (or thin) layer that reflects an experience from the past. If the observer believes it still, it gets looped 🔁 around again. That false narrative attaches to similar thoughts and beliefs which can become a spiral.

We are mostly the same. We have families, friends, structures. So many of us even live in group think. There are collectives and factions and the tendency to group together and congregate is also what makes us similar, or work to together collectively. Then again, lots of us are separators, runners, and hiders. We cannot trust that even in our closest affiliations with others that they are loyal, trustworthy, or just.

The way that we are complex and dynamic is often similar, which is why we are—in the end—simple creatures.

Meanwhile, the depth of character and richness of experiences makes us, each one of us, as a song played only ever once. That which will never be repeated in all of history and into the future of all the worlds.

That makes this moment, this very, very moment: very, very precious. Who you are is you who is looking out, watching the expandingly infinite universe continue to grow into ever-forming eccentricities of new variation, all connected to the same consciousness. 💗

New moon is dressed in rags to riches

it’s a new style you wouldn’t know it

It’s called “look here now”

and see that you have everything, already

All you simply need is to BE it.

Hello Friends, Happy New Moon in Capricorn!

I had been sick–this had slowed things down, which was really necessary, because my world of contacts with other people is currently exploding; and the work I have to do with working on my business is growing incredibly. So, my agenda is filled, while conveniently giving me some room to “breathe.” I am delighted to have my business moving at this incredible and dimensions-wide pace, but it does require some calibrating, some balancing. For those of you who already follow astrology, I don’t need to tell you that it’s a big month. The biggest move is Pluto dipping back into Aquarius — my rising Sign, and S. Node. This is a collective shift for all of us. Be a beacon of light.

Stay tuned. Things are going to get very, interesting. I’m working on another site, branding, website construction and gonna build a “HUB” for all that is to come. It will be my own home from home. I’m thinking of linking this blog to it, but I’m not altogether sure I want to merge the worlds. Let’s see what happens! I’m so pleased with all the comments on my last blog post about the unread letters. I want to spend time and connect with each of those responses.

For me, the letters will be coming back around (I am conveniently busy and full to the brim but I know when the time opens, they will be gently and lovingly read). For now, let me leave you with softness.

May your heart feel soft and nourished. Talk to you again very soon!
