..Many will need to tune in deep, connecting with our own individual soul’s compass, letting the rest of the world’s opinions fall away. Self-righteousness, overconfidence, and racial conflict are likely to follow as a result of this Moon. But where the North node lies, social media will be ablaze with a sea of opinions, and opportunities to better understand our neighbors. This eclipse’s goal is to remind us we don’t always know everything. Acknowledging and being humbled by that is an essential part of the process. It’s not wise to assume we can comprehend or begin to understand how other people perceive the world, or what they endure. Possibly, it’s then we can start to look at and treat each other as equals, rather than threats. ...

When I think of June, karma is the word that comes to mind. Now I know that is a word that often gets thrown around a bit. In this case, astrologically speaking, karma is neutral. It's neither good nor bad. It just is. Events taking place this month will be karmic by nature. Meaning; many people will be going through something that helps us move from one lesson to the next. These "situations" are a direct result of something that may have happened in the past, be that in this lifetime or another. Consider them hoops you need to jump through to prove your commitment to getting to where you want to go. Many planets are in a combination of Water or Air signs, so naturally, there will be a lot of thought-provoking conversations, and sharing of emotions. Planets like the Sun in Cancer, or Mercury in Cancer can have us...

The New Moon makes her monthly appearance at two degrees of the mutable air sign, Gemini. Gemini is the mercurial master, the magician, negotiating deals and lending a helping hand finding the middle ground. Gemini excels in relating and often encourages us to consider various perspectives in any given situation. New Moons give us the monthly opportunity to set intentions revolving around new beginnings, and this lunation is exceptionally potent for these types of intentions. Seeds planted now will begin to blossom at the end of this year. This New Moon is solid coming in at two degrees, and in harmonious aspect to Saturn. Here we hear whispers of what the future may hold. Saturn keeps a watchful eye in Aquarius, encouraging us to

On May 21st, The sun enters the enigmatic sign of Gemini where it will stay until June 20th... Gemini is the 3rd sign in the zodiac and is widely misunderstood because of their often mystical and elusive powers. Gemini is ruled by Mercury along with its more nourishing, feminine and grounded friend the Virgo. Mercury rules over communication, the written word, knowledge, transportation, siblings and is known as the messenger and processor of information. Mercury’s energy is mutable, quick and intelligent...

This lunation is probably one of the better moons in recent weeks. I am a bit relieved just looking at the aspects as I write this. There’s something very magical and therapeutic about this Full Moon. Perhaps much of that is this Moon’s aspect to Neptune, bringing about a dreamy and psychic wave of energy. When planets make harmonious aspects to Neptune, we see spirit in action, helping us lean into our empathic feels and connect to the heavens above. Neptune dissolves boundaries and blurs lines. When Mercury or the Moon is in harmony with this planet, often, we receive cosmic downloads, symbolic dreams, or strong intuitive messages. Forms of divination, water magic, or scrying can prove to be extra insightful during this Full Moon. They say Scorpio Full Moons are for communing with...

Pull up a seat, and grab a pen & paper because I would like you to jot a few notes down for this month’s overview. We’ve got not one, not two, but THREE major planetary retrogrades happening this month. Jupiter will go retrograde in Capricorn, which dampens optimism and travel, and Saturn in Aquarius, which is likely to continue some forms of social distancing. I imagine in the weeks ahead we will emerge from our lockdown status, and slowly resume life again. Granted nothing will ever REALLY go back to normal, or at least the way life once was. This is the new normal. Both Mars and Saturn in Aquarius assists Venus in making more solid decisions nearly all month long. Collectively, we’re being asked to move into what’s best for EVERYONE, and not just certain select groups. It’s time to stop ignoring particular elephants in the room and...

We’re going to attempt the impossible, and provide you with a short history of “The Devil”. To attempt the impossible is certainly in alignment with this mighty jester, prancing gleefully across the stage as Mephistopholes, Satan, Lucifer, or the more bestial versions of the Adversary found in Pan, Baphomet, and the clever Serpent in the Garden of Eden. And lets not forget our jolly ol’ friend Krampus the Christmas Demon! Who isn’t tempted at some time in their life to bow down at the altar of the Mortal Coil, to beef up the ever so hungry ego body, and to revel vampirically in this carnal circus of Earthly delights?

The Sun and Moon meet for their monthly conjunction in the earthy fixed sign of Taurus. The Moon is considered to be exalted in the sign of Taurus, bringing about an extra boost of pleasure and abundance. Taurus rules over banking, currency, agriculture, and all that we reap from the soil. Earthly delights like food, scent, and material gains are found here as well. What’s unusual about this lunation is how exceptionally close the Sun and Moon are to reactive Uranus. Uranus has been in the sign of Taurus since the Spring of 2018. This change has brought about a handful of futuristic and unexpected jolts from...

The word Taurus comes from the latin word for bull, often referred to as "the bull of heaven” in ancient times. In Greek mythology, one story of Taurus can be represented by the white golden horned bull which symbolizes fertility. The King of Crete, King Minos was granted rule over the seas by the god Poisedon and tried to cheat him out of the magical white bull he promised by sending him a a look alike. In anger, Poseidon asked Aphrodite to assist in a punishment so she cast a spell on King Minos’s wife that caused her to uncontrollably lust for the

The word "flora" translates to "flowers," and is also the name of the Roman Goddess of flowers, spring, and fertility. Her first temple was built on the advice of the Sibylline Oracle, with the intent to protect nearby crops from famine and disease. During this time of quarantine, it's safe to say that we've all been thinking about protection from disease, making it the perfect time to invite Flora to help protect your space, your body, and your loved ones. Try this simple meditation or ritual below using our Palo Santo Flora Bundles to center your thoughts and help radiate your inner positivity.

All in all, this is a Moon that wants to aid and assist in feeling better supported. Libra is a Cardinal air sign heavily associated with relationships and many other aspects of Venus. I want to talk for a moment about relationships. There’s a lot of them being tested right now in the world. Some partners are suddenly finding themselves working from home with a spouse. Others are doing what they can to cope with a loss of joint income, and are trying to pick up the slack for their mate. Children are home from school and now need tending to. Some single or “limbo” relationship people are realizing they really wish they had someone to depend on. Regardless of your situation... exceed t
