As the scarlet sky unfolds and dawn breaks on October 2, 2024, profound celestial movements will envelope us, chaperoning a unique kind of magic. The new moon and solar eclipse in Libra, exact at 11:49 a.m. Pacific Time, is a moment destined for transformation and karmic justice. In this Everything Is Energy Podcast we will dive deep into this remarkable astrological event. Let’s explore the intricate layers of this transformative cosmic dance.
The Event: Solar Eclipse in LibraOn the morning of October 2, 2024, the solar eclipse coincides with the new moon, merging the sun and moon in a powerful conjunction. Eclipse rituals across the globe will be synced to resonate with an alignment that heightens the potential for new beginnings. This event is not just another astrological occurrence; it’s a cosmic call to rebalance and redefine ourselves.
The proximity of the south node to the moon during the eclipse underpins the importance of this alignment. The south node represents our collective and personal past wisdom. Integrating these insights propels us toward enlightened avenues. With the recent lunar eclipse emphasizing endings, this solar eclipse in Libra is a harbinger of fresh starts, advocating an era of balance, harmony, and rejuvenated relationships.
Key Astrological Highlights: Karmic Justice and BalanceLibra's ruling principle is justice—a timely reminder as we navigate societal upheavals and personal transformations. The eclipse spotlights karmic justice, urging us to reassess and realign our values, fostering balance within our lives and the wider world.
Astrologically, Pluto sits in the anaretic degree of Capricorn during this eclipse. This positioning denotes a critical phase in restructuring societal and personal paradigms, dovetailing impeccably with the Librian theme of equitable reformation. As we transition into the age of Aquarius, this aspect of Pluto facilitates a deep, transformational shift beyond superficial change.
Mars, Sirius, and Transformational EnergeticsThe podcast highlights a dynamic interaction involving Mars, Sirius, and the larger astrological picture. Mars, traditionally recognized for its assertive and initiating energies, aligns with Sirius during the eclipse. This celestial proximation signals an energetic upgrade that ingrains a renewed "I am" consciousness in our core beings. Sirius has long been regarded as a pivotal star influencing Earth's spiritual evolution. Its rare alignment with Mars during this solar eclipse signifies substantial energetic progress. We are transiting through realms of heightened awareness and collective awakening, steering humanity's course towards a resonant and elevated state.
Breaking Through: Unique ConfigurationsAmong the many astrological configurations during this eclipse, the square involving Mars, the sun, moon, and other planetary bodies, paves the way for potential breakthroughs. Additionally, unique celestial presence of Makemake—a Kuiper belt object—introduces fresh consciousness and connects us deeper with the natural world. This configuration is teeming with innovation, challenging us to embrace new perspectives.
Collective Growth: Joining the Reciprocity ChallengeIn alignment with the transformative energies of this eclipse, the podcast announces a 28-day community-based reciprocity challenge beginning October 2. This initiative fosters collective growth, solidarity, and shared support, embodying the essence of Libra in action.

Hello! I realize this is not my typical podcast. I had several listeners ask me to do a birth chart analysis of the two presidential candidates. I often give astrology readings for individuals, but have yet to add this into the podcast. I hope that you find this insightful. Please message me with any requests for astrology podcasts. Also, there is still time to join the Reciprocity Challenge, a free 28 day "challenge" to offer healing and seed unity consciousness during times that can feel tumultuous. I believe that we live in transformational times. I also sense that these times are these times are full of potential of co-create positive community environments.I hope that you can join me this October!

The Transformative Power of the Pisces Lunar Eclipse
The universe continues to offer us opportunities for transformation and awakening as we had into the latter part of 2024. The Pisces lunar eclipse happening on September 17, 2024 provides a potent opportunity for revelations. This celestial event is has the potential to be a profound portal for inner and collective transformation. I summarize below the implications and energies of this lunar eclipse and explore how we can harness its power.

The Potency of a Pisces Lunar EclipseSuper Full Moon Amplified Energies ~ A super full moon is essentially a full moon that occurs when the moon is closest to Earth in its orbit, making it appear larger and more luminous. The closer proximity heightens the moon's gravitational pull, magnifying the energetic influence on us. Coupled with the lunar eclipse, this event promises even more potent revelations and energetic shifts.

Pisces: The Sign of Transcendence and Release ~ Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, symbolizes culmination and spiritual awakening. Governed by Neptune, Pisces encourages us to look inward, fostering a deeper connection with our intuition and the unseen realms. As the sign associated with compassion, mystery, and transcendence, this lunar eclipse invites us to release old patterns and prepare for a rebirth.

The Energetic Axis of Pisces and Virgo: Balancing the Intangible with the Meticulous ~ During a full moon, the sun and moon are in opposition. For this particular eclipse, the sun is in Virgo, while the moon is in Pisces. This Virgo-Pisces axis represents the balance between the tangible and the intangible. Pisces’ dreamy, intuitive nature contrasts with Virgo’s practical, detail-oriented energy. This opposition allows us to cultivate a holistic understanding of our inner and outer worlds.

Neptune’s Influence: Dispelling Illusions ~ Neptune, the ruler of Pisces, is prominently conjunct the moon during this eclipse. Often referred to as the planet of illusion and spirituality, Neptune's influence enhances our ability to see beyond the superficial. It aligns with the lunar eclipse to illuminate truths and release us from any lingering delusions, setting the stage for profound clarity and expansion.

Inner and Outer Worlds: The Dual Focus of EclipsesThe Subtle Shifts of Lunar Eclipses ~ Unlike the external, action-oriented energy of solar eclipses, lunar eclipses prompt us to turn inward. They encourage introspection and emotional awareness, making this an ideal time to explore our inner landscapes, deepen our self-awareness, and heal emotional wounds.

Relationships and Connections: Lunar eclipses often highlight relational dynamics ~ Not only with people but also with patterns, habits, and energies in our lives. This heightened focus on relationships during the Pisces lunar eclipse encourages us to examine how we relate to ourselves and the world, fostering growth and harmony.

As we step into September, we are invited to embrace the Virgo New Moon taking place on the 2nd of the month. This celestial event marks a potent time for seeding  transformation and new beginnings. The new moon in Virgo offers a unique energy, distinct from the vibrant and full illumination of the recent full moon. It’s a time for planting seeds, setting intentions, and focusing on the transformative opportunities that lie ahead. This particular new moon is anchored in the sign of Virgo, known for its connection to community, service, and practicality, encouraging us all to reflect on our routines, wellbeing, and how we can better serve both ourselves and the collective.

I spend time in the podcast delving into the astrology of the moment. I want to use this blog post to explore the myth and energetic of goddess Astraea. She an important aspect of the constellation Virgo as the goddess of purity and service. 

In the pantheon of Greek mythology, where gods and goddesses embody various human virtues and vices, Astraea stands out as a symbol of justice, purity, and a vision for a fairer world. Often associated with the constellation Virgo, Astraea's story is not just a tale from ancient times; it offers a powerful message that resonates with contemporary feminist values. Today, we explore Astraea's mythological significance and how her legacy can inspire modern movements for gender equality and social justice.

Astraea: The Virgin Goddess of JusticeAstraea, whose name translates to "star-maiden" or "star-goddess," was a daughter of the Titans Astraeus and Eos. She is most renowned for her role as the personification of justice and innocence. In mythology, Astraea lived among humans during the Golden Age, a time when society was free from crime and corruption. Her presence was a testament to a world where justice prevailed, and it was during this utopian era that she was revered for her unwavering commitment to fairness.

However, as humanity fell from grace, descending into the chaos of the Silver and Bronze Ages, Astraea became disillusioned. The pervasive dishonesty and injustice of these later eras drove her away from the mortal realm. According to myth, she ascended to the heavens, where she became the constellation Virgo, serving as a celestial reminder of the ideals of justice and purity that she once embodied.

Astraea’s Divine Feminine LegacyAstraea's story is more than a myth; it serves as a profound symbol for feminist movements advocating for justice and equality. Here's how Astraea's legacy can inspire and align with contemporary feminist ideals:

1. Championing Justice and FairnessAstraea’s commitment to justice is emblematic of the feminist fight for a fair society. In a world where gender inequality, systemic discrimination, and social injustices still prevail, Astraea’s ideals remind us of the ongoing struggle to create a just world. Her unwavering dedication to fairness encourages us to challenge the status quo and advocate for equal rights and opportunities for all genders.

2. Symbol of ResilienceAstraea’s departure from Earth symbolizes the frustration of those who strive for justice in a world that frequently falls short. Yet, her ascension also represents hope and resilience. For feminists, Astraea is a figure who reminds us that even when progress seems elusive, maintaining our commitment to justice is crucial. Her story inspires us to continue our efforts, even when faced with setbacks and challenges.

3. Embodiment of Virtue and IntegrityIn an era where women's voices are increasingly recognized, Astraea’s embodiment of virtue and integrity serves as a model of principled leadership. As we each embody the harmonic of divine masculine and divine feminine, Astraea offers us the energetic of what it means to BE OF SERVICE to the collective as well as to ourselves. 

4. Celestial InspirationAs the constellation Virgo, Astraea represents a cosmic ideal of justice and purity. This celestial aspect serves as a reminder that the quest for equality is a universal endeavor. The Divine Feminine, much like the stars, is a guiding force that transcends geographical and temporal boundaries. Astraea’s presence in the night sky symbolizes that the pursuit of collective cosmic justice is a timeless and universal aspiration.

Moving Forward: Embracing Astraea’s LegacyAs we navigate the complexities of modern society, Astraea’s legacy can serve as a beacon for those striving for gender equality and social justice. Her story invites us to reflect on our commitment to fairness and to envision a world where the principles she personified are realized. By embodying Astraea’s virtues—justice, resilience, and integrity—we can contribute to a more equitable society and continue to push for progress in our own time.

​In celebrating Astraea, we honor not just a mythological figure but a powerful symbol of the ongoing struggle for justice. Her story reminds us that while the journey toward equality may be long and arduous, it is a path worth pursuing, guided by the enduring light of principles that transcend time and space.

Navigating the Energetic Shifts &
Harnessing Divine Energies for Personal and Collective Transformation

The Aquarius Super Full Moon, which is exact on August 19, 2024, is a powerful event promises intense energetic shifts that beckon us towards personal empowerment, transmutation, and the harmonizing of divine masculine and feminine energies. Here’s a deep dive into the key themes discussed in this illuminating episode.

Preceding Astrological Alignments: Setting the Stage 
Before we experience the full moon’s illumination, we have two significant astrological events setting the precedent: the Mars-Jupiter conjunction and the Mars-Saturn square on August 14 and 15, respectively. These alignments stir energies of action, expansion, limitation, and structure, preparing us for the full moon’s potent themes. The Mars-Jupiter conjunction encourages bold, expansive actions inspired by higher wisdom and truth, while the challenging Mars-Saturn square urges us to balance our drive with discipline, and responsibility. This rendezvous of contrasting energies lays the groundwork for the personal and collective transformations ready to emerge. You can find a deep dive on my YouTube channel here as well as below!

The Dynamics of the Full Moon: Squaring Energies and Jupiter-Saturn Integration
The Aquarius Super Full Moon’s celestial theater involves intense squaring energy. Notably, two T-squares — geometric alignments in astrology that occur when two planets in opposition form 90-degree angles with a third planet, creating a triangle — amplify the transformative potential. The presence of Jupiter squaring Saturn in Aquarius is significant; this planetary dance is a continuation of cyclic squares that began in 2020 and will reoccur in December 2024 and June 2025. 
​
Historically seen as a fortunate alignment, Jupiter squaring Saturn embodies the principle of integrating lofty, visionary ideas into the grounded, physical reality. It symbolizes breakdowns that lead to breakthroughs, urging us to transcend limiting beliefs and structures. This aspect is a celestial invitation to clear away the old paradigms and make way for innovative, more aligned ways of being and operating in the world.

Balancing the Divine Masculine and Feminine Energies
One of the most profound aspects of this lunar event is the emphasis on rebalancing divine masculine and feminine energies, highlighted by the interplay of the two T-squares. The first features the Sun and Moon squaring Uranus, which could provoke sudden insights and revolutionary shifts in personal and collective consciousness. The second T-square involves Venus, Mars, Jupiter, as well as an opposition to Saturn, emphasizing the harmonization of action (Mars), beauty and love (Venus), expansion (Jupiter), and karma/structure (Saturn).
Collectively, these alignments spotlight the need for integrating the outer (masculine) and inner (feminine) aspects of our nature. It’s a cosmic call to realign our actions with our values, allowing a balanced flow of dynamic creative energy and receptive nurturing energy.

Guided Meditation: Harmonizing Internal Energies
To anchor these transformative energies and facilitate personal growth, I offer listeners a powerful meditation. This meditation focused on harmonizing the divine masculine and feminine within oneself. Listeners were encouraged to visualize and embody a balanced state where assertiveness meets compassion, and ambition is tempered with intuition. 
Meditation practices like these are valuable tools during potent lunar events, assisting individuals in aligning with the cosmic energies for optimal personal and collective evolution. They help participants internalize the integration processes, enabling them to act from a place of balanced power and love.

The Aquarius Super Full Moon on August 19, 2024, is a crucible for transformation, urging us to harness celestial energies and embody the harmonious balance of divine polarities. As we integrate these shifts, let’s contribute positively and creatively, in alignment with the greater evolution of consciousness. Tune into *Everything Is Energy Podcast* for more insights, and allow the stars to guide your journey towards an empowered and balanced existence.

​The new moon in Leo on August 4th carries with it not only a potent dose of divine feminine karmic rebalancing energy, but It also ushers us into the center of the Lion's Gate Portal. Those are both big themes that deserve to be sussed out, so let's get to it!

Lion's Gate Portal:
This is an annual occurrence, which takes place this year from 7/26/2024 through 8/12/2024, with the energy peaking on 8/8/2024. I emphasize 2024 here because the Lions Gate is usually known to be the 8|8 portal toward the expansion of consciousness. However this year being 2024, which reduces to 8 in numerology, gives us an 8|8|8 portal. I offer here that even if we don't take any astrology into consideration (which we will :) the numerology alone is telling us something. 8|8|8 is an alignment to connect us with the infinite expansion of consciousness. 8 is also the symbol for infinity. Infinity tells us not only that everything always is in balance, but also that we live in a limitless universe. If you look at the differnce between 8|8 as it is written, the two 8's are aligned as a portal within themselves. However if you look at 8|8|8, there is an infinite portal in the center of that portal that already exists. That is simultaneously a numerological and metaphorical way to say we're going to be able to tap into infinite consciousness during the Lion's Gate portal this year! I sense if you're reading this you already feel the call and the desire to make that connection, the connection to unity consciousness and oneness which is what the infinite brings us back to when we are connected to it.

It is important to note that the Lion's Gate is an alignment between Earth, Sirius, and Orion. Here we are invited to remember the significance of Orion and Sirius in ancient Egyptian Cosmology. Not only is it commonly known that the way to find Sirius in the night sky is to use the stars of Orion's belt and continue the alignment, but the star shafts inthe King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid aligned to capture the energetic transits of both Sirius and Orion.

Divine Feminine Karmic Rebalancing:
We will be well suited during this new moon to embrace the transit of Eris with Chiron that takes place in sync with it. I offer here that Eris has a bit of a misunderstood or misinterpreted reputation due to the penchant that Greco-Roman civilizations had for commandeering powerful archetypes for their own interest. The Divine Masculine and DIvine Feminine have both been misrepresented.
​
I discuss the myth of Eris at length in this new moon's podcast, so definitely have a listen! The theme from the Western and Greco-Roman world centers around positioning Eris as Goddess of discord, war and casual revenge. I offer instead that Eris, as the divine feminine counterpart to Pluto, is equally scary to those who need a "karmic adjustment". While Pluto is preparing to take one last cleansing dip into Capricorn this November, Eris has been in Aries since we and humans discovered her in 2005. This means we may have some pretty powerful downloads come through around this new moon, as she is conjunct Chiron in Aries. This aspect I suggest is a powerful one because we really don't know much about Eris' energetic from a human experience in 3d perspective. We discovered her less than 20 years ago! Also, outer planets move so slowly that they are often termed "generational planets" because their major transits and shifts affect humanity in generations (compared to mercury retrograde which happens multiple times every year).

In closing I want to sum up what Eris conjunct Chiron in Aries might mean. Chiron can on some levels be metaphorically seen as our "achilles heel." Not only in the myth was Chiron's achilles wounded in battle, thereby resulting in his lifelong quest for personal healing.. which resulted in his learning and sharing the healing arts to many many many people, but Chiron's myth points us to the service we do when we tend to our own shadow so that we can offer light to the world. Eris is here to possibly enlighten us as to how we are being blocked by our ego, pride, deeper fear or insecurity. Whatever arises, look for the lessons of release and transformation, and remember that your healing journey has always been one of uplifting and expanding energy!

Join my email list to be part of the Heart Alchemy Gathering on August 15, 2024. I will discuss the "why" of this date including the three transits that will have a palpable effect on our collective. I will also offer an overview of the Heart Alchemy practice and guide us into a  global healing circle.

On July 21st at  3:17am pacific time we have the second Capricorn full moon in a row. These consecutive full moons both happen at the anoretic degrees of the sign of Capricorn. Anoretic degrees include 0-2 degrees from sign changes in Astrology. Depending on who you talk, read or listen to, that makes anything potentially between 2, 1, 0, 29, and 28 degrees potentially having an "Anorectic energy". Anarotic degrees, I believe, offer us the experience of metamorphosis, though the turning into a butterfly aspect really depends upon how we are able to navigate and embrace the process of letting go and allowing. 

Luna is at 29 degrees and 9 minutes Capricorn on July 21 for this full moon (remember that she was at 1 degree and 08 seconds on June 21st). The 29th degree of a sign is the last, final & penultimate degree. It can carry the energy of finalization, death and releasing of a sign. In this case we have luna in the sign of Capricorn, so she is revealing to us what needs to be released within our social and communal structures. As with every death and rebirth the soul has complete sovereignty as to how to navigate the transition now that they've left their body. At this transformational juncture, some choose the same old behaviors, some choose a new and potentially uncomfortable or a fear facing path for transformation. This new moon reminds us that the latter is absolutely the empowered path!

As I write we are living in times of such powerful transformation. We are witnessing the world as we know it with new eyes. Seeing things in ways we have not seen before. This is beautiful. It can also be new and unsettling. As we wonder whether we are aptly prepared for this curious and transformational journey

I spoke in the podcast about a handful of aspects that are active in the chart for this new moon. I will offer a few more comments here in the bolg about the themes in the podcast:
1) Sun and Moon in Cancer: The super sensitive yet protected crab is the perfect time to be having downloads about the state of the 3d world in which we live. Cancer innately invites us into our sensitivities. 

2) Sun and Moon Conjunct Venus in Cancer: Venus adds the invisible communication aspect to this new moon, as she is currently not visible in the night sky. This is the time when Venus is said to be communing wth the stars and  preparing to reconnect with humanity later this month. You should be able to see her after sunset at the end of this month (around the 24th, depending on your horizon and light level).

3) Chiron squaring what feels like Everything: The centaur known for his ability to share healing wisdom and knowledge is squaring Pluto in Aquarius, the Sun, Moon, Sirius and Venus in Cancer, as well as Castor and Pollux, which are conjunct Venus. I want to share here about the aspect Chiron is making with Venus, Castor and Pullux. In Greek mythology Castor and Pollux (melodramatic music plays in the background) are the twin sons of the union of Leda Queen of Sparta and her husband the king of Tyndareus, but also fathered magically by Zeus himself. THey are the two bright stars in the Gemini constellation. And, as we've just left gemini season this message is coming in at the perfect time.The Greeks and Romans had many legends about the twins. Some tales are contradictory: this is not an uncommon occurrence in classical mythologies, and did not affect the veneration in which the twins were held. All the stories agreed that when Castor was killed, his bother Pollux, who had been offered immortality by Jupiter, insisted on sharing the gift with his brother. But the Fates of the underworld still needed to be appeased, so it was decreed that the twins had to spend the same time above ground as below. This possibly rings a bell with goddess Persephone, who also spent half her time below and half time above ground, with one of her overarching messages being the balance of light and dark. I offer here that Castor and Pollux, showing up to conjunct Venus tightly together are reminding us of the inherent balance of light and dark in the universe. As the goddess (in this case symbolized by Venus) awakens she is squaring Chiron to remind us of the bigger picture, that some of the collective wounds we are trying to heal are less our own and more within the collective consciousness. 

4) Sun and Moon Conjunct Sirius: I will close this post by sharing an image of the relationship of Sirius with our Sun. The notion of Sirius being the most important star to ancient Egyptians, along with its importance to the Dogon tribe, suggests that there is more for us to learn and receive as a transmission from this star! The image at right suggests that not only do the Sun and Sirius have their own "binary relationship" via their orbit, but that this is perfectly in sync with what we know of the Hindu Yuga Cycles and/or The Great Year. 

The Yuga Cycle says that there is a 24,000 year cycle of time with 12,000 years descending and 12,00 years ascending. The image at right outlines this concept, and I've made a video you can find on my youtube channel here and in the image below to offer some more information.

​As with everything, take what resonates for you!​

We have a full moon in Capricorn on June 21st, and we are invited to welcome in unity consciousness with the first of two successive full moons in the sign of Capricorn.

Capricorn has a bit of a bad rap of late, being that Pluto is in the final last minutiae of its excavation for transformation in this sign. Pluto is always about transformation, but Pluto on the Capricorn/Aquarius cusp at the anorectic degrees can feel particularly challenging, as what we know of Capricorn (and our understanding of "Capricornian sure-footedness") is changing. Everything we know is changing!

In that vein I offer a quick unpacking and possible revising of two concepts in astrology: 

1) Anaretic degrees: It is universally accepted among astrologers that the 29th degree is an anaretic degree. In The past this has been met with a lot of fear as it is the FINAL degree of a sign.. signifying death on a polarized scale (because this full moon is about realizations of our polarized thinking :)

However it is worth noting that many astrologers also consider degrees 3, 2, 1, 29, 28, and 27 to be anaretic. This is because they are at the cusp of a sign change, so there is inevitably the experience of a (sometimes abrupt) shift in energy. This also means that when we live solely within linear time, we can experience some abrupt changes. It follows naturally that getting ourselves up and out of a sole existence within linear time constructs will help us move through times of transition. 
​
2) Capricorn: Goat vs Sea Goat. 
When we visualize a sea goat we might think of a centaur who has a tail. But it is worth noting that instead of a man with goat feet, we have a goat with a mermaid tail. The sea goat is possibly reminding us that humans aren't even involved. (While no part of that image is human but I wonder whether it is somehow contained within.)

Regardless of what it "means," the use of a tail for the sure footed mountain goat is an interesting energetic shift: no longer feet on rock laboring up the hill, but tail in water swimming along with horns of power. I did not have enough time or space to unpack this in the podcast but wanted to do so here. Tail in water has interesting implications for the energetic of our sure footed Capricornian understandings that are based on the past.

As we are in the energy of this full moon, we are revising our understandings of Capricorn. We have been steeped in Pluto's transition from Capricorn into Aquarius, as it is a formative energetic of our time in 2024. This full moon invites us to revisit the healing magic and the strengths of Capricorn.

Capricorn is sure footed, which means it supports us in being grounded. As a cardinal, feminine, earth sign Cap reminds us to send our roots down. To be deeply rooted into the earth as we endeavor to continue the process of rebirth and transformation. This full moon reminds us to be grounded and connected to who we truly are. The energetics of these times are such that anything is possible. Which reality do you choose?

It is interesting to consider, as Pluto prepares to enter and exit Capricorn in Nov 2024, never to return for 240+ years. That we have the Osireion in Egypt, a temple half submerged in water. Where Osiris himself would have his closed quarters.

Also that the Dogon tribe knows of amphibious beings as well. They understand that there are beings who are at least half amphibious and have high intelligence. So as we consider the Capricornian Sea Goat: a horned being that breathes air and swims in water, it might feel as if the new version of Capricorn is less the sure footed mountain goat and more the quasi aquatic invitation into unity consciousness: What if the health of our oceans matters? What if the health of our ecosystem matters? What if this planetary alignment for the full moon is a transmission about an upgraded experience of and understanding of Capricorn!  

Finally I want to close with a concept that came through with this full moon, it is in the quote pictured at the beginning of this post:
Karma cannot be resolved on the same level that it was created. 

I mention in the podcast that we are supported in getting ourselves up and out of linear time and polarized thinking. These are just two of the themes we are exploring in the 2nd week of 6 week Karma Clearing Project(join us!) 

This new moon boasts 11 planets and celestial bodies in the sign of Gemini. When we consider that most astrologers find it significant when there are 3 planets in the same sign. 3 planets is referred to as a "stellium," and is generally seen to indicate that we have a healthy dose of that sign's energy. We now have 11 (!!!) which prompted me in the podcast to use the word "super-stellium." I may or may not have made that up, but I was drawn to say it as to me, super-stellium conveys that something truly phenomenal is happening, that the energy of the sign is not only showing up, but it is surrounding us with its energy. In this case we have a super-stellium of Gemini energy!

Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication. Mercury typically operates specifically in the physical/3D level. However because Uranus is active during this Gemini New Moon as well, it's important to consider that we're being ushered into understanding the power of our communication on all levels. Uranus being the higher octave of Mercury, Uranus reminding us that we are the high technology we seek, and that our energetic offerings create the world we live in. 

Gemini is a mutable sign, and thus able to pivot and adjust and shift without self-consciousness. Because Gemini is mutable air, the pivots and shifts have to do with our thoughts and belief systems. Gemini strength is to be able to explore, acknowledge and potentially integrate disparate energies. This is, as I offer in the podcast, is the precisely perfect anecdote for these times. The times we live in are such that we can all benefit from more communication and interpersonal conversation as compared to simply looking at the media. 

It's also worth noting that the shadow side of Gemini is confusion, static, and contradiction for its own sake. The light side of Gemini also allows for contradiction but does so because each individual has the right to truly change their perspective or their mind because they've received new information and gained deeper insight. We're focused in this podcast and on this meditation on the latter of course! 

Gemini reminds us that we project and become what we consume. So we are all well situated to be mindful of what we give our attention to and to remember that every moment is an energetic opportunity to plant seeds for a bright future! To that end I am offering a final invitation to join me for the Karma Clearing Project. The six week course begins this Saturday June 8th and is designed to give you tools to clear yourself as needed as well as to clear Karma of family and ancestors. Ultimately we will be working on a global level to lighten the karma of the collective. The link to join us is here please feel free to drop me an email if you have any questions!
