New Moon, New Dawn, New Age

Astrologer Allison Rae has some potent information about Thursday's New Moon in Aries:

"This Equinox/New Moon portal is a real eye-opener.

Not only is this the beginning of a 28-day lunar cycle, it's also the beginning of a year-long solar cycle. Because it's happening as vast cosmic cycles are converging, this New Moon is initiating energies of the Aquarian Age and a… Continue

Friday the 13th: EXPANDED VERSION

Thanks to AOAND collaborators, here's an updated, expanded version of yesterday's post:

It's Friday the 13th here in the USA, a transformational gateway, as 13 always is ~ if we can transcend the superstition around the number.

Here's an article I wrote as part of a series on the Mayan Calendar and living on natural time. If you'd like to read other articles in the series, please email… Continue

"Time of Screaming and Gnashing of Teeth"

Patricia Cota-Robles' latest message, This Is Our Moment! brought a smile to my face, as I've been living my light in service for many years with a dwindling bank balance, doing my best to live the trust frequency I've written about (most recently in my March What Shines newsletter), in my Health, Wealth… Continue

Buffalo Medicine

Carol Proudfoot-Edgar offers a complementary perspective to the Medicine Wheel image I recently uploaded, that's especially relevant for this community:

"I've had this recurring image of the contemporary shamanic community walking the Medicine Wheel. In this image, we began consciously walking about forty years ago and now find ourselves in the Place of the… Continue

Menopause or Memorex?

When my cosmic wake-up call arrived in 1993/94, it felt for all the world as if I was entering menopause ~ even though I was only in my mid-30s at the time! I've written about my classic descent into and through multiple chemical sensitivity/chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia and a host of other labels. In 3D, it was certainly true that my body was ill and out of balance. However, on a meta-level, this was the… Continue

Trickster Council: Remembering Kinship, Composting Dread

Caroline Casey's Visionary Activist Radio Show is one of the best ways to spend an hour I've discovered in many a year. I've been listening to her for over a decade, and now, of course, anyone anywhere can tune in, thanks to the magic of the internet.

Today she dueted with singer/songwriter/storyteller and fellow trickster David Lynn… Continue

Spiraling Home

The poem/chant Spiraling Home, which came through me a few weeks prior to September 11th, 2001, is a clarion call for now. There's tremendous power in hearing the words spoken aloud. Chant it or sing it, and see what happens inside you!

Spiraling Home

It's time for:

Gliding, sliding

Coming out of hiding;

Purging, merging

Acknowledging the… Continue

The Love of Your Life

This is excerpted from my February What Shines newsletter two years ago:

We become "the Light of the world" first within our own beings; then we're able to shine this radiance outward. It's like any other learning process: we can only serve others from a well that runs full and deep.

In this spirit, I offer you an evocative embrace from Derek Walcott (sounding… Continue

∞ A Valentine's Day Like No Other ∞

In mid-February a rare astrological alignment brings a number of planets together with the North Node - denoting higher purpose - in Aquarius. This energizes and inspires the possibility for transcendental breakthrough in some seemingly intransigent situations.

Here's what cosmologist Jude Currivan, PhD, has to say about this Valentine's Day:

The… Continue

From Cyberspace to Heartspace in Nothing Flat

Last night I had dinner with Jesus Gonzalez, an Architect from Chicago who had read my AoAND blog posts, friended me, then realized he was coming out to Napa/Sonoma on an annual wine country visit, and this is where I live! He wrote excitedly, would I like to join him and a friend for dinner?

His buddy, a relative cyber newbie, was amazed (1) that we'd connected this way, and (2) that I would agree to meet someone I'd only just gotten to know via email. It was the perfect opening for… Continue

Age of Aquarius: Balancing the Both/And

It's my birthday, and a somewhat strange one at that. I was heartened to log on to Celia Fenn's Starchild Global site this morning and see her latest Michael channeling, which elaborates on the idea I presented in my February… Continue

Groundhog Day? NOT …

February 2nd goes by many guises. In the U.S., it's popularly celebrated as Groundhog Day, when a small furry rodent supposedly either sees his shadow or doesn't, and the result determines whether or not we experience 6 more weeks of winter. But the day has deeper meanings than this.

In Celtic and Earth-based traditions, February 2nd is known as Imbolc. While also a harbinger of Spring, Imbolc celebrates the return of the Light in a more… Continue

Astro Politics: What This New Moon/Eclipse Cycle Means

Today's energy is incredibly powerful: a New Moon in Aquarius, Lunar Imbolc, Chinese New Year's Day ~ and, of course, a rare annular solar eclipse, one of 6 eclipses in 2009 (normally we experience only 4).

For a political perspective on the current astrological cycles, read Barbara Hand Clow's AstroFlash!. Scroll to almost mid-page for New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Aquarius: January 25-26, 2009.

Barbara is a… Continue

1/26: Opening to Power

Monday heralds a rare solar eclipse that will transform the sun into a ring of fire. Unfortunately, it'll only be fully visible to those in the Indian Ocean at the time. That doesn't mean we won't feel the effects, however.

As astrologer Allison Rae observes in the current issue of her ezine,… Continue
