How did the Dead become seductive? From the candy apple red lips of the Hallowen she-devil to the suave, charismatic vampire on the silver screen, the underworld houses a tale of intriguing taboo. If we look to the cosmos for an answer, we find it in the constellation of Scorpio which enthrones the body of our Solar Logos from October 23-November 21. Halloween, Samhain, All Saints Day, The Day Of The Dead…these are all festivals born out of the illuminated depths of Scorpio Season between October 31-November 1st, when the days grow short and cold, harvest season is over, and death comes knocking at our door.

October harvest blessings to all… The Pagan sabbat celebration this month is a crowd fave on the 31st: Samhain (pronounced SOW-WEN), the Witches’ New Year, which is also Halloween and the start of Dia De Los Muertos, which goes through November 2. We will be in Libra energy through most of the month, focusing on communication, relationships, and how to get our personal and relational selves in balance.

What does Mercury Retrograde mean for us astrology nerds? In a nutshell, it means that all the correspondences and symbolic meanings mentioned above that represent Mercury can also act... a little backwards. Travel or business plans may get loused up. Verbal fights or misunderstandings can occur. Contracts can default or money can be spent unwisely. Technology can fail us. All these things changing at once can disrupt every day life, which is not ideal for anyone living a 21st century experience.

September harvest blessings to all! The Pagan sabbat celebration this month is Mabon, which falls on September 22. This is the autumn equinox and harvest festival that has very ripe and abundant “crops” or whatever you had planted as a seedling and have been cultivating throughout 2022. Lammas gave you a taste of the direction, success, and growth you were achieving, and Mabon is maximizing that growth and bringing even greater insights. Feasting, music, ritual, and sharing of resources are all joyful and meaningful ways to give gratitude to the land, to your body, to your support system folks, and to your Guides/Spiritual helpers/Universe/God. Being the autumnal equinox, this means there is equal light and dark on...

Happy August wishes to all… This month, we walk in the radiance of the Solar Lion in Leo season, engaging us with the motif of energizing and breath-of-fresh-air respite from the dense, heavy duty feels of Cancer season (good grief!). However, we do start the month with one of the biggest 2022 alignments: the trifecta conjunction of Mars, Uranus, and the North Node in Taurus. This is big shake-up/explosive energy that can occur on our material plane/Gaia with weather, money and foundational structures getting cracked open and crumbled to be rebuilt, or physical movement/body effects and possible injuries...

The Sun and Strength were pulled, popped out, and landed-on while cutting the deck several times. These solar cards REALLY wanted to be seen! I also noticed The Sun and Page of Swords were together when cutting the deck during shuffling together at least 3 times. I feel it’s important to note this dyad highlights finding the courage to speak your truth, express yourself freely without letting your ego talk you out of it, listen to children’s voices, and engage in healthy child-like self-expression…

Welcome to July and official summer, friends. For most of this month, we wade through the saltwater shores of Cancer season… A liminal space of its own, where dynamic and heavy ocean water ebbs and flows along stationary sand shores, slowly but surely bringing new treasure to shore and carrying out what has surfaced and is no longer needed out to sea. These salty sandy shores are where the crab explores the terrain, walking sideways--its most efficient direction. However, under the nearby water’s surface is a very volcanic energy...

Of note this month, again, is the 4 of Pentacles, bringing your attention to what still needs un-clutching and release to allow new, much-needed experiences to come in. Alongside the Collective card, The Princess of Swords, you are being asked to heed clear messages and information that you may be...

Welcome to June, the midpoint check-in of the year and the month of the summer solstice—the longest day of the year on the 21st (also known as Litha to Pagan pals), where we can bask in the sun, ushering in the summer season, where light wins over darkness. We are in the post-eclipse season and Rx energy of May (Mercury stations direct on the 3rd!), so there are less bumps and more flow this month with inner planetary energies...
