This puts it in its sign […]

When Venus sails sweetly through Virgo, the sixth sign of the zodiac, what does it mean for the collective? This is where love becomes all about the details. Because with this Venus placement, the details matter above all else. Less important are the grand gestures and showy and romantic displays of affection when it comes […]

Love, pleasure, and attraction all fall within the starry realms of our closest neighboring planet: Venus.

The Sun has departed from fiery Aries, and begun to make its way through grounded, rootsy Taurus. As the first of the Earth signs, Taurus offers stability and the chance to come back into our bodies, our home, our materiality.  Taurus encourages us to experience the world through our senses, and relish every last drop […]

The rejection of Pluto as a planet, although based on scientific categorisation, could be seen as a rejection of the collective shadow. Pluto and Shadow Work Pluto is the God of the underworld, keeper of the land of the dead, the place where darkness lies. It represents this place in all of us: where our […]

The Sun has just entered Aries (happy birthday, Aries!), and it is a new zodiac year! As we start this cycle, for the next few weeks we are under the influence of this strong, fiery, warrior-esque sign. Here are a few ideas on how you could tap into the current energies at play, and more […]

It’s that time again! Three to four times a year, Mercury, the fastest moving planet in our solar system appears to stop on its orbit, stand still in space and then travel backwards.  It’s this backward motion that is being referred to when you hear people talking about Mercury “in retrograde” and each time it […]

Money, money, money! Whether we like it or not, it’s what makes this modern world go round, yet the large majority of us couldn’t claim to have a good grip on our personal finances. What’s YOUR relationship with money? Money should be a tool of empowerment, right? But a lot of folks unconsciously resist becoming rich (however much they consciously desire […]

Saturn has been spiralling through Sagittarius for almost three years. It’s likely that you’ve grown used to the feeling of its restrictive, responsibility-centric qualities buffering against your own desires to expand and fly free. I know for a lot of people, this long transit has felt heavy, like having weights tied around the ankles and […]

Can you hear it? The sound of a thousand hard-drives being turned on in preparation for the mass digital backup that come as a kind of modern-age rite of passage every time Mercury retrogrades into town. Three times a year, that tiny, fast-moving planet of trickery and mischief appears to turns back on its trajectory […]

Setting intentions at the New Moon is a really powerful way to align our own creative cycles with the larger cycles of nature. We’re all working to a rhythm, whether we’re really aware of it (and consciously participating in it) or not: We create and we destroy, we express and we retreat, we rise and […]

One of my favourite things about the New Moon is not actually the Moon at all! It’s being able to stargaze into the uninterrupted blackness of the night sky, and see SO much more than I normally can when there’s even just a glimmer of moonlight. Try it – take yourself off to a quiet […]

Happy Equinox, everyone! If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, we are entering Autumn and descending into the dark time of the year. This is a time for us to have gratitude for the “harvests” that we have reaped at this point in the turning of the wheel, and start to go within… And if […]
