What a fool believes…
Today’s new moon in Sagittarius is likely to trigger some sense of moving on from whatever started in the summer. Pull your proverbial socks up and start planning ahead for the next lunar cycle, which will be solar eclipse in the sign of Capricorn on December 26th, followed two weeks later by a lunar eclipse in Cancer on January 10th.…
Perception & Deception
It used to be, everyone was entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. But that’s not the case anymore. Facts matter not at all. Perception is everything. ~ Stephen Colbert, Host of The Late Show Perception has ALWAYS been everything, dear Stephen. For people who are convinced that there is something fixed in time and space called a…
Changing ways
The world is feeling pretty crowded these days with the tensions and prickliness that seem to have become the default mode of relating to each other. (I know that some of you dear readers are a bit tetchy about the astrology stuff, so I won’t refer much to it here, but for the rest of you, bear in mind that…
Not your normal Sunday
What is that nagging void? The ongoing mild frustration that won’t shake off? Why is there no more joy in my job/marriage/life? When we’re feeling unclear the mind becomes muddy and dark, like a pond in the rain. It will pass. It’s crucial not to feed the thoughts that cloud the mind. Depression and anxiety result from the repetition of…
Where yoga begins
What a mad month of September it has been so far! It has felt like an obstacle course to me, and I’m not yet through it. I have been trying to send this newsletter out since Saturday, and crazy interruptions – not least of which has been no access to WiFi – have kept me stalled. Thankfully, I have my…
Getting our ducks in a row
The revolutionary cycle we’ve been living in for the past seven-plus years is affecting everyone. The more destabilised our outer world becomes, the more we need to work on cultivating our inner stability. Today’s New Moon – the second one of August! – offers us the opportunity to reflect on new ways of living in service to others beings. How can…
Where Sensitive meets Sensible
We are each somewhere on the spectrum from being so highly sensitive to what is happening day to day that we are unable to function fully in the world we created around us, or at the opposite extreme, where we become so hyperactive, and perpetually busy - even if only in the mind - that we have no time or…
Time to turn the page!
Today’s New Moon in expressive Leo is strongly influenced by Venus, symbol of abundance, money, relationships, and what we enjoy in life. Venus is where we find our happiness, which generally revolves around relationships and values, so now we are likely to explore new ways of going forward with people and money. It’s a promising fresh start compared to the…
The yoga holiday from hell
I'm moving this month so I won't be traveling, and since much of my attention is focused on the comings and going of my kids and the contents of my home, I decided to share a holiday story from my book. It helps to remind me that it's not always a bad thing to just stay at home.
Momentum and growth
We are six months away from a big pivot point in the greater scheme of things. Old patterns - personal, social, individual, collective - are evidently dysfunctional and need to be interrupted. Eclipses always interrupt patterns one way or another, so try releasing old ways and habits in a conscious manner which responds to what you already sense needs updating.
