You
Who are the source of all power,
Whose rays illuminate the world,
Illuminate also my heart
So that it too can do Your work.

We are in Eclipse Season!
Eclipses signify times of fated/destined changes or events in our lives and the world around us! They are like supercharged New/Full Moons, said to be 10 times more powerful than a normal lunation. They are times when our most steady lights, the Sun and Moon, go dark. Eclipses were seen as negative omens by ancient people and astrologers. It is advised to avoid charging your crystals/tools under the light of the Eclispes. It is also advised to avoid intention setting and manifestation rituals during Eclispes. We do not want to charge sacred items or do intention setting/manifestations because Eclispes open portals of energy, and we NEVER know what's coming through portals. We want to be vigilant of whatever comes in, however. Eclispes are times to pray, fast, and lie low while the energy is whirling around us. Eclispes are like energetic Cat 5 hurricanes; it's not advised to venture out into these storms to explore. Whatever we pull in if we are manifesting/charging will have the energy of Eclispes imprinted. Eclispes are chaotic times; why invite more chaos than necessary?!
Powerful beginnings and endings often take place around Eclipses. Trust that whatever is coming in or leaving our lives is fated. Destiny is in the driver's seat in our lives, and Eclipses are known to course correct us if we've gotten on the wrong path, or are stuck. It may not feel like it, but whatever is happening IS for our Highest Good. We may need some time and space from the events to see the Higher Purpose in the Eclipse events.
We are likely to hear more about pregnancies, births, engagements, wedding announcements, as well as deaths, relationships ending, or job losses during this time. This first Eclipse in Leo is a Solar Eclipse (always a New Moon); it's a South Node Eclipse, so significant, powerful endings, wrapped in new beginnings are coming in. Something is being taken away, and replaced with something else. This is a spiritual course correction, because Jupiter is also in Leo.
Mercury is Direct and working to clear its Rx Shadow this week!
We still need to clear Mercury's Rx Shadow period, which ends tomorrow night. During this time, we will receive more information about what's been happening under the surface during the Rx and pre-Rx shadow. Pay close attention; our spidy senses are on overdrive!
The Nodes of Fate are in Leo-Aquarius now! This is a massive vibe shift! We can expect fated/destined events to unfold. The South Node will enter Leo, co-present with Jupiter in Leo. The North Node will enter Aquarius, co-present with Pluto in Aquarius! This will be an intensely powerful 18-month transit. Having the Nodes of Fate co-present with these powerful planets means massive changes in our lives and the world around us!
The South Node in Leo, co-present with Jupiter in Leo, has a contradictory energy. Leo is the King/Queen, the star of the show. The South Node drains, empties, and removes. Jupiter is bringing spiritual course corrections to the Leos, highlighting and amplifying true King/Queen power and energy. The "false idols" are falling away. I see this transit as the return of the King. As in true kingly energy, leaders are here to serve in the position of leadership. I see this as King Author vibes. Maybe we need to go back to what works.
The North Node is in Aquarius, co-present with Pluto in Aquarius. We will see an acceleration of breaking down old orders to prepare us for the future and to welcome in the new era/world. The North Node calls us uncomfortably toward our future desires and destiny. We are being asked to lean in.
This is a significant vibe shift in our collective lessons and where our attention is focusing. Look to the Leo-Aquarius part of your charts to see where the Eclispes next month are taking place! The Nodes are in Fixed signs, so deep, powerful transformations, endings and beginnings are taking shape. The last time that the Nodes were in these signs was in 12/2007- 8/2009, when the North and South Nodes were in the same signs as now. We had the Nodal reversal from 5/2017-11/2018, when the North Node was in Leo and the South Node in Aquarius. Look back to this time for themes of what's in store for us! It's never exactly the same, but similar themes are active.
Uranus is at 5* of Gemini now! We have not seen Uranus activate this degree in our lifetimes! We can expect significant energetic upgrades, breakthroughs, shocks, surprises, and disruptions. Some of us are being course corrected. Do not fight this energy!
Uranus is now conjunct the Sun in MY chart!
Today:
We enter the 4th Quarter phase of the Moon tonight.
The Moon is waning, decreasing in light. This Moon phase asks us to spend more time in reflection and contemplation. This is an ideal time for protection work and prayers.
The Moon is in Taurus, moving through some tense squares throughout the day. It's a crunchy day. Pick your battles. At least the Moon is exalted in Taurus, so we have some emotional support.
This is the final day of Venus in Virgo, her sign of fall! Venus enters her home sign of Libra tomorrow afternoon! Venus is slowing down and will enter her Rx Shadow at the end of the month!
The Moon is in Taurus; the Moon in Taurus is stable, persistent, sensual, materialistic, possessive, security-oriented, comfort-loving, patient, determined, stubborn, and practical.
The Moon in Taurus is exalted but is answering to Venus in Virgo, in her sign of Fall.
It's a tough Taurus Moon!
Moon in Taurus conjuncts Chiron Stationary Rx in Taurus at 12:07 am; this aspect can signify illnesses, volatile emotions, or nightmares. Be gentle with yourself at this time. Chiron recently Stationed Retrograde, so we are slowing down to address and review the wounds that Chiron has uncovered.
Moon in Taurus squares Pluto Rx in Aquarius at 5:43 am; we start the morning in deep, dark contemplation. This is a Fixed square, so we are in our feelings/emotions and not seeing a way through it. Maybe we had nightmares all night, illnesses or pain plaguing us, or maybe we just feel deeply saddened or depressed. It's a heavy way to start the day. Sit in or with the emotions. Sometimes we need to feel our feelings! We can't keep looking to feel better instantly. We learn and grow through challenges, not when things are easy.
Moon in Taurus squares Jupiter in Leo at 12:34 pm; both planets want pleasure and enjoyment, but they have different ideas about what they enjoy. This aspect can tend toward overspending, so beware!
Moon in Taurus squares the Sun in Leo at 10:21 pm; we enter the 4th Quarter phase of the Moon tonight. We are closing out this lunar cycle as we barrel toward the Leo Solar Eclipse next week! Use this time to ramp up protection work, prayers, and spend time in reflection and contemplation.

Grouse- Sacred Spiral- REVERSED
Drawing the Grouse reversed signifies a dissipation of energy and a lack of control and discipline. It is symbolic of a lost connection to the Source and signifies a lack of clear intent behind an outpouring of energy. You may feel like you are in a tailspin or going down the drain. Confront confusion either in yourself or in others who may be in the picture. Examine the way your energy may be causing friction, sparks, or a convolution of a situation that needs clarification. Work toward harnessing your energy and directing it toward clearly defined goals. Such is the nature of the Sacred Grouse Dance.
In using this sacred dance as a tool to right contrary Grouse, you may find that it is a tool to center or ground you. In grounding, you are once again connecting to Mother Earth and balancing out the spinning in your head. If you have become so involved with an idea or problem that you are no longer seeing it clearly, you may feel dizzy or lacking in concentration. This is a sign that you have entered the thought-universe and are not connected to reality. You need grounding if this occurs.
Dancing or walking will put you back in touch with Earth and your body. Grouse may then teach you how to notice the energy flow that puts you in harmony and balance with body, mind, and spirit.
Year of the Yang Fire Horse!
Fire Horse years are extremely fast-moving, so buckle up! The last time that we had a Fire Horse year was 1966! The Fire Horse is bold, independent, passionate, strong-willed, and rebellious! Live with passion! Let your light shine!
Bedroom Feng Shui
I love the look of plants in the bedroom, but did you know that it is said that plants in the bedroom drain your energy? Humans are considered to be an Earth element. Plants are the Wood element. In the 5 Element theory, Wood drains Earth energy. As always, do what is best for you! Take a look at your energy levels; if you have plants, pictures of flowers, or even plant patterns on your bedsheets, maybe begin trading them out.
Bedrooms do best with neutral colors, earthy colors.
