On December 23rd we will have a new Moon. When the Moon (our consciousness) is at its darkest, farthest from the Sun, it is called a New Moon, and it is a good time to withdraw from the hustle and bustle and hunker down for reflection and restoration. Winter solstice, the longest night of the year (or the shortest day of the year, depending on your perspective), happened just yesterday. Nature is trying to tell us that we should retreat, reflect, and find peace. We've been tr

On November 8, 2022, at 5:02 a.m. CT, there will be a lunar eclipse, which is when the Earth's shadow falls on the Moon. Eclipses are a time to deepen and renew your spirituality by checking in on your alignment with your dharmic path and reminding you to go within and connect with higher vibrations.

Saturn is retrograde in Capricorn in the star constellation of Sravana (power of divine guidance and listening). Saturn, the outermost planet visible to the naked eye, is considered a malefic planet – the planet of destruction, death and disease but because of this also allows for determination and the ability to move forward. We know that in order for something to grow, something else must be destroyed. Think of the seed: in order for sprouting and rooting to happen, the see

We have been looking for a shift – in consciousness, in direction, and behavior, hoping that things will stabilize and chaos will settle.
