(Not) Unexpected News!

Two years ago, I wrote a post about how Uranus brings unexpected changes in my life . Uranus is the planet of change, disruption and liberation. Uranus transits to my natal Moon have brought relocations. At the time, I was applying for European citizenship but I didn't want to jinx it.  Well, it's finally come through! I don't know how this will translate into big changes, other than I hope to travel more.   When I applied, Uranus was exactly 120 degrees away from my Natal Moon at 19 degrees of Capricorn, and 120 degrees from the part of my natal chart that relates to my home - and what counts as home. My 4th House, or 4th pizza slice, as described on the Astrology 101 page.  Uranus is currently traveling through my 12th House in my natal chart - it relates to past lives, family baggage (or gifts!). That is part of what has become activated. The 120 degree planetary aspect - the trine - is about things falling into place with ease. The new citizenship came through the fa...

I’m the tiger from my nightmares 🔥

Growing up, I had a recurring nightmare where we were having lunch at my grandmother’s house. The wall came tumbling down and a roaring tiger came out from behind. Everyone went scrambling - my aunts, uncles, cousins and family friends wh o were there for lunch. My 8- year old self ran and hid behind a big black piano.  It didn’t look like exactly my grandparents' house, for one, we seemed to be eating on large picnic tables. I have a clear image of one of my aunts staying put, the rest of the people were hazy. The walls were made of carton too; it didn't keep anything back.  I would stay huddled behind that piano bench, scared that the tiger would eat me. It paced back and forth but it didn’t feel angry or hungry. My inner child was terrified, as you would be if a tiger suddenly appeared in front of you and you were stuck there.  After a few weeks of this recurring dream, one night I was watching the tiger and I suddenly realized that it  was  a dream. The tige...

When is enough enough? Assessing relationships

There is a song that I love by the Mexican artist, Julieta Venegas, Me Voy (I’m leaving) because she walks away from a subpar relationship that she might deserve, but doesn't want.  It got me thinking about whether we get what we deserve - or what we reach for. And in many cases, where we get stuck. That's in terms of creating the life you want to experience. We need to think bigger.   We have been taught to focus on healing our self-worth, our boundaries, our insecurities and to revisit what we think we deserve in life and relationships. It is a start. Believing that we don't deserve an experience, or that we are not ready, is an obstacle; it takes away from our personal initiative. It might keep us from trying, but it's not always enough to change things. Inner work can be an endless loop; we also have to look at the impact that other people have on our lives.  At one point we have to think about what we want, and what we don't want.  It’s not fun to be on the lo...

Is there a Goddess of Music?

Psychic meditations are similar to dream analysis; we receive messages as images, sounds, scents and then interpret it when we are done. Sometimes the message comes to life completely in one session, but often it builds with time. In school, when we were doing psychic readings for another person we'd ask for their visuals and discuss it with them at the end. This Fall  I signed up for an online  class at my former psychic school. One of my classmates now teaches there, Liesl Duffy. It has been so much fun to be back in the student seat. We have been connecting with different angels and guides every week. The weekly theme is always a surprise. Last month, I finally understood the music that I’d hearing in my personal meditations for nearly two years. Liesl told us that we would be connecting with a goddess and the meditation consisted of a journey to a temple where we would meet her. We would find out who she was once we arrived, not before. Everything that I describe bel...
