Boundaries don’t exist in a vacuum. We must have values to create boundaries — values such as love, gratitude, sovereignty, trust, compassion, service, etc. Values are personal, and they can shift as we mature and experience life. Pluto in Aquarius will force us to get crystal clear on our values and how we create goals around them. Why? Because the low frequency, shadow sides of our society will use digital manipulation in an attempt to usurp our personal and collective power. (technology = Aquarius; manipulation and power = Pluto)

This morning’s New Moon in Capricorn (at 4:57am MST, 20º44) invites us to commit to the structures, boundaries, and discipline to live our legacy and do our life’s work – because it’s never too late. It’s not only how we want to be remembered but also what we feel like we must do, because if we don’t, we’ll have missed out on the whole purpose of our life. We’ll have squandered our gifts. No matter how we spend most of our time, we must carve out at least some space for what lights us up.

2023 prepared us personally for what we will experience as a collective in 2024 and eventually into 2025. A lot of us took it on the chin in multiple areas of life. 🥊 The “dark night of the soul” felt like the dark year, or at least several months!

Because of that, however, we are stronger and more flexible, no longer an apprentice to the “new normal.” We have greater capacity to love, but we’re more discerning about who and what we allow in and how we react to the world around us.

This newly gleaned wisdom will serve us well in the coming months, because there are a lot of dark sides to the astrology for 2024 and early 2025: Big, unpredictable events, not to mention a US election week that has me wanting to go off grid to the middle of nowhere with my favorite people and never come back. 🏝️

Therefore, the word for 2024 is…

This afternoon/evening, we experience the last Full Moon of 2023. (The Moon at 4º58’ in her home sign of Cancer opposes the Sun in Capricorn at 5:33pm MST.) Called the Wolf Moon, she signified times past when the northern reaches of our planet were blanketed in the first thick layers of winter snow, and the wild wolves roamed free on the plains. As Mama Gaia balances her energy in ways that we humans don’t quite understand, most of us in the northern hemisphere are experiencing the dark of winter without the merciful snow reflecting the illuminations of the bright moon.

To celebrate the end of my well-earned hibernation during the last couple of months, I have decided to do something that most entrepreneurs would consider crazy – I’m going to offer donation-based 60-minute sessions for the rest of December.

Hi beauty! You may still be reeling from the intensity of the Solar Eclipse, but no worries! You can still journal and set intentions for the Libra Lunar Cycle.

So often we give away our power in relationships without even realizing it, and then we wonder why things feel so out of balance! Some of the physical symptoms and health issues you experience could be because of imbalance and disharmony in relationships, or simply in the lack of peace that exists in our current world.

Happy Equinox, Beauty! The Sun moves into Libra at 11:49pm PDT on September 22/2:49am EDT on September 23, 2023, ushering in the season of Autumn in the northern hemisphere and Spring in the southern hemisphere.

The first video below contains some contemplations about this Equinox energy – it’s an amalgamation of traditional astrology, the I Ching, and the Gene Keys. I invite you to take what resonates, leave what doesn’t. Below the first video, you’ll find both a video and an audio file for the short guided meditation on the energy of the Equinox.

Tonight‘s Virgo New Moon (21º58’) at 6:39pm PDT/9:39pm EDT is not about working hard, suffering, being a martyr or a victim…. It’s about devoting ourselves, every single day, to unconditional love. We humans suffer first and foremost from our fears, which make us see others differently from us. This fear-based lens in turn skews our perceptions and hardens our hearts against them. When we harden ourselves against others, it can create hardness and suffering in our physical form.

I have a big confession to make to you all! Gaaaaa! But first, let’s talk about an important aspect of awakening: When our intuition goes against our beliefs. So many of us going through this awakening process are learning to listen to our intuition and then take action from it.

Are you starting to feel all the feels before Wednesday/Thursday’s Full Moon in Pisces? The energy right now is all about balance, and this Full Moon will illuminate where we might be out of balance, especially with our inner feminine/masculine, yin/yang, giving/receiving, and doing/being.

Happy Full 🌝 Moon, beauty! Several months ago, I recorded a podcast called Understanding your Soul’s Purpose on the Sacred Beauty Lifestyle podcast with the magical and unapologetic goddess Lisa Eddy. I finally got the nudge to share it with you. Yay! Talk about Divine Timing.

Venus stations retrograde at 2836’ Leo on July 22, 2023, at 6:32pm PDT. Many of us are starting to feel an upwelling of sacred rage, especially concerning how Mary Magdalene’s true story has been suppressed for millennia. This energy is reflected in our own lives, as we set boundaries, heal our wounds, and create new outlets for self-expression.

This Gemini Lunar Cycle has been truth-telling for many of us. Gemini is all about communication. When we’re not speaking our truth, or using our voice and words for good, it can manifest in conflict or illness/dis-ease, financial problems, and more. 🙁

I did this meditation and intention setting with a client earlier today, and I felt called to share it with you all on the eve of this Summer Solstice here in the northern hemisphere, and the Winter Solstice in the southern hemisphere. But you don't have to only wait for a solstice or an equinox to tap into your vitality and soul’s calling, you can do it anytime you feel called to start something or take a step or press play or give yourself some extra mojo.

Talk about phenomenal Solstice energy, I just had to come in and make you all a quickie video in honor of the June (Summer) Solstice on June 21, 2023, at 7:57a MST/10:57a EDT. It doesn’t matter if you reside on the northern or southern half of our beautiful planet… no one is immune to this incredible energy.

This week’s New Moon in Gemini has me full of ideas on communication, breath (and how it impacts our health), intelligence, superficiality, and integrating the masculine and feminine within.

Greetings, beautiful being! This Full Moon 🌝 in Sagittarius on June 3 (or 4, depending on your time zone) invites us on timeless adventures. What is your soul longing for? It’s so important to feed our souls before we get ravenous and then consume whatever comes our way (especially social media 📱 and toxic people 😬).

Listen to your soul – this is where your power is – and remember that only YOU know your truth. No one else can tell you who you are unless you let them.

2023 has been no joke. The good news is, many of us have been so focused on the intensity of both the blessings and the challenges in our own lives, that we can only ignore the theater, drama, and distractions of the 3D world. For me, my father’s passing has sling-shotted me into a whole new relationship with my purpose, what it truly means to be of service, and how to connect with the Divine.

Fortunately, I finally landed back on Planet Earth this past week, when I got to work and spend time with Gail Larsen again in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Gail is a rabble-rousing midwife for the soul who has helped way showers like Danielle LaPorte, Marie Forleo, and Gabby Bernstein activate their voices and power. Gail had gathered five of her past students together – myself included – for a four-day immersion to explore our New Story for A New World.

Saturn’s journey into Pisces on March 7, 2023 (for the first time since April 1996) kept me tossing and turning most of last night. Knowing that Saturn can represent father energy, it felt like my dad talking to me from the other side. I wanted to capture it all in my journal so I could share it with you today.

Saturn’s move into Pisces signals the “rising” of the Divine Masculine and encourages us to commit to the sacred union of the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine both within ourselves and in our relationships – to other humans, to animals, to Mother Earth, and to the spiritual world.

This New Moon in Aquarius brings us to the cusp of innovation and change. Unlike the Capricorn lunar cycle, which encouraged us to go below the surface, the Aquarius lunar cycle says, “Take the leap!” As the old structures that served the few crumble away, piece by piece, it’s up to us to create new ones based on freedom, sovereignty, and service.
