I’ve been on an educational trip ♐️, scribbling down notes, meditating and pondering everything.
We are all in the midst of this WILD ASTROLOGY. It’s playing out just as we thought it would… but still, it’s not easy, it’s very fractious, unsteady and tricky. Not only because of tense global politics, but personally too.
How do our lives and relationships mirror what's going on "out there?"
I read out some of CYCLES 2023 in this week’s Oddcast and will copy an extract below. Listen to the pod for full horoscopes and a discussion of this Lunar Eclipse.
“Difficult decisions are the theme of this Partial Lunar Eclipse. Something has not been illuminated, quite literally. We are not able to see the full picture but our emotions are stirred and there is an urgency to the situation.
The Full Moon is conjunct expansive, exaggerating Jupiter and opposed to the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Ceres in Scorpio. That’s some weighty polarity! We have an exaggerated emotional response that needs peace and self-nurturance but the Sun is fraught with questions, activity, urgency and wants to dig deep. A classic situation where one person says “come back to bed let’s just hug and fall asleep, can’t we talk about this tomorrow?” However their partner is insisting that it is discussed in minute detail, now.
Venus in Virgo also indicates that detail, small comments, seemingly innocuous occurrences are the things that need paying attention to now. Forensic analysis of a matter relating to homes, families, relationships, food, diet, friendships and the energetic challenges that arrive when a little bit of poison has been left unattended.
A forgotten apple left to rot can do some serious damage! Best to deal with it sooner rather than later… even if you’d rather not.
Toxicity enters relationships energetically when negative thoughts and behaviours spiral out of control. Have there been any comments, experiences and events in your life recently that could have a longterm negative impact if left unattended?”
You can purchase CYCLES 2023 here for £15 if you want to read this entry in full (this is half) and work with the journal prompts for the next few lunations.
TAURUS RULERSHIP
The body part that Taurus rules is the throat, neck, upper shoulders(hello massages!)I’m seeing SO many people on instagram talk about this theme.
My insight is that we all have a voice (Taurus) and those of us who are blocked in from speaking will feel extra frustrated at this time.
Are you using your voice?
How are you using your voice?
Are you able to tell people how you feel, both the good and bad?
I love you? I'm over you?
Do you say thank you?
Do you say no, thank you?
Is your language violent or non-violent?
Taurus Rules: THROAT, NECK, VOCAL CHORDS, TONSILS, THYROID.
The throat chakra is the energy center that governs the mouth, tongue, jaw and neck; it directly relates to communication and the ability to speak your truth, or share your feelings, thoughts and needs honestly with others.
We can take a step deeper into this conversation and think about why we want to say thank you or no thank you. Feelings are amplified at New and Full Moons but not all your feelings are valid. Some of your feelings are rooted in confusion, misinformation, envy or stubborn refusal to see what’s there.
Possessiveness, retentive emotions, fixed beliefs, refusal to share, the need to be in control and an inability to let go.
On the positive side:
Cutting a cord at last.
A massive sigh of relief as you let it be.
Seeing things as they are.
Making overdue changes.
Telling someone you love them as they are, deep loyalty. And vice versa.
Dogged determination to see things through now that one cycle has completed
Letting go of inner resistance and stubbornness to accept things and people as they are.
Abundance rooted in a feeling of trust and flow, not having to CLING to anything (ideas, objects.)
Moving into deeper intimacy after crossing a treacherous bridge.
Taurus is ruled by Venus the planet of LOVE. Can you tap into your most gentle and loving self and find that place beyond fear.
♣️ Tonight we have an eclipse session in The Cosmic Club, if you’d like to be on the waiting list to join us in January you can sign up here.
💫 My Jupiter in Taurus event was recorded and you can buy it here. This Full Moon is conjunct Jupiter (and opposing Mars, listen to the pod for explanation and horoscopes.) I believe that activating Jupiter's benevolence is the medicine.
Back to UK for 2 months.
I live opposite a church and the bells ring at 7am, midday and 6pm. I woke to the sound of bells this morning, delighted to be home, ready to work and treat myself to a caffeine hit and some speedy writing! But it was 12.20pm and I’d kinda missed the slot! 13 hours of sleep like an absolute pro. 🙃
💫 I have some slots available to work with me, and always available for deeper work via application. All the info is here. I have 2 / 3 months in the UK and if anyone does want to spend an afternoon with me to go through all your charts we can go to the Cotswolds for an afternoon and sit by the fire. Packages from £2500 + VAT and this includes an online session of 90 minutes before we meet and a follow up session of an hour after we meet. Short drop-in online sessions are still available too.
👑 I'm putting together a group programme called A TIGHTLY COILED SPRING and will share info on that when I manage to wake up early enough. 😅
Our Winter Solstice event has a London venue and line-up and I'm excited to plan that and connect with you too.
See you soon,
