I am an astrologer, a Pagan, a tree-hugger, an artist, a mountain girl, and a dreamer. Most of all, I am one of Mother Earth’s children; an individual manifestation of collective life force, progressing through life along my own individual path – just like you. If you are reading this it means our paths have met, be it for an instant or a lifetime.

There is a great deal of confusion and misunderstanding surrounding the names of Full Moons. Today, they are most often (inaccurately) associated with calendar months. However, the traditional ‘folk’ names of the Moons are actually determined by season, not month.
In the Pagan wheel of the year we mark the Sabbats not by the calendar [...]

Full Moon – Just the phrase can make one think of wild reckless behavior, heightened emotions, chaos…
While the stereotypical effects of Full Moon are exaggerated (to say the least) this is undoubtedly the astrological event with the most noticeable effects. And the coming Full Moon, Jan 29th, has potential to fit the ’stereotype’ better [...]

Mercury conjoin Saturn 11:35pm Oct 7th
Saturn’s ongoing opposition to Uranus is one of the predominant influences throughout the year (and next year). Mercury opposed Uranus just a few days ago, and is now conjoining Saturn. This is one of several triggering aspects occurring throughout the Saturn-Uranus opposition. However, this is a particularly strong trigger.

This Full Moon promises to be a lively one!
Full Moon is naturally a time of tension and intensity. This Moon occurs in Fiery Aries, prompting action – and fast. Things which have (intentionally or due to circumstance) been put on hold during the retrograde may suddenly seem to be of upmost importance. This [...]

THE TURNING WHEEL
And so the wheel turns once more. Soon we will welcome the dark of the year, the shortening of days and lengthening of nights. This year Autumn Equinox, when the day equals the night, falls on September 22nd.
Mabon, Harvest Home, Mea’n Fo’mhair… called by many names, and celebrated in many ways, there [...]

New Moon marks the birth of a brand new Lunar Cycle. As we enter the waxing phase, this is typically a rather peaceful time leading to a period of growth and progress. This coming New Moon, however, looks to be a bit more difficult than usual.
One of the most notable factors is the New [...]

HARVEST MOON
REAP WHAT YOU SOW
September 4th brings a powerful Harvest Moon. Also known as Barley Moon or Singing Moon, this is the final Full Moon before Mabon (Autumn Equinox). The Full Moon is a time of fulfillment, and with this Moon the bounty of Summer is coming to fruition.
As we prepare for the [...]

WHAT IS ASTROLOGY?
FROM A PAGAN PERSPECTIVE
There are many fields of astrology, and methods of practicing astrology. Some view it as a science; some view it as an art. To some it is simply a factual tool; to some it is spiritually meaningful. Some feel it is personal; some feel it is universal. To me, [...]

We are approaching a Mercury retrograde, beginning the 6th of September. As we brace ourselves for the cosmic ‘communication breakdown’ it’s important to remember that it isn’t all bad. Many of the troubles this cycle is known for causing can be avoided or minimized with some preparation beforehand, and extra care taken during the [...]

The 20th of August brings us a lovely New Moon in Leo. This is the beginning of a new Lunar Cycle, the first cycle following the series of eclipses. Eclipses bring about change, they represent the culmination and rebirth of a longer cycle (see my posts eclipse posts for more info). As we now [...]
