July 2025 Cosmic Insights
Whether one can see it or not yet, the old ways of doing things are disintegrating before our eyes. We are moving rapidly through another paradigm shift on Earth and we can either embrace it or we can resist it. You have the freedom to decide which path you want to take, but always remember that what we resist, persists and what we accept, transforms into something new. Do we want to remain stuck or do we want to evolve? This is the real question for the cosmic invitation of the moment is to dig deep, go within and ask ourselves with naked truth, “what are we regularly giving our attention to and how is it serving us?”
Intense Gemini New Moon
The New Moon is the start of a new cycle of energy that runs a course over the two weeks following it. This particular New Moon finds three sattvic planets ~ Sun, Moon & Jupiter ~ conjunct within 1 degree of each other in Gemini, in Ardra Nakshatra (star). Ardra is a rather intense Nakshatra represented by a tear drop and a fierce form of Shiva known as Rudra. Ardra is associated with pain, but it is the kind of pain we must walk through in order to truly transform into new versions of ourselves.
June 2025 Astrological Insights
This June is YANG ENERGY. Things may get heated and intense at times, but there is a positive upsurge in our energy, inspiration and drive. It is a time to take BOLD action doing the things we truly love ~ however, it is important we remain aware and mindful about how we do and say things, because the fire we have been missing for several months is returning with a rather sudden intensity, that if left unchecked, could result in flared tempers, rash and impulsive decisions and sharp words we might later regret.
Spring ‘25 Solar Eclipse
An eclipse is like a “reset” ~ the Earth (body), the Moon (Mind) and the Sun (Soul) are in perfect alignment, but either Moon or Sun are eclipsed by one of the nodes ~ in this case Rahu eclipses the Sun. “Ra” - the rays of the Sun - are eclipsed by “hu” - the illusions of this world. Only this time Neptune, the planet of mass delusion on the lower level and transcendent levels of Spirituality on the higher level, is also part of the eclipse, which for some will bring more confusion into the mix, but also offers us a chance to experience revelation of that which has been concealed for far too long…
The Great Shift of an Astrological Age
A great shift is upon us, from Astrological Age into another, from one Yuga Cycle into another.. going with the flow takes on whole new meaning as everything speeds up to align with humanity’s rising consciousness.

Full Moon Energies 01.13.25
If there is a theme for 2025, it is “Big Endings & New Beginnings” and it’s starting now. If nothing else, this is an opportune time for starting something over, making it an excellent time for starting a new Spiritual practice, setting up a sacred space for meditation in the home, offering donations and service of any kind to those in need, of which there are many.
Alchemy of December Energies
This retrograde season promises to bring a lot of insight, clarity, inspiration and change. It may be a bumpy and tough ride at times, but the challenges are ultimately there to help us grow, discover deeper meaning and realize higher purpose. This is a potent time of personal growth and transformation offering us the opportunity to expand beyond our previously accepted ideas of what is truly possible.
In all honesty, just about everyone I know and have been reading for is going through pretty rough times. A lot of deep questions about life purpose and meaning are rising up for people. It’s been a challenging year and promises to end with a bit of bang with this intense retrograde season. If this is true for you, it’s important that you know you are not alone.
FULL Moon Energies & Rituals
Almost like becoming a child again, we may find that the emotional tides we experience during the phases of the moon, culminate during the full moon and often are completely overwhelming. If we are not in tune with the moon’s cycle, we are ignorant to the powerful energetic forces at play in our lives that affect our bodies as much as they do the tides, for just like the Earth, we are mostly water and the Moon’s cosmic energy has a meaningful influence on all waters.
