Virgo Full Moon and Total Lunar Eclipse
We are in the cauldron now.
Last night’s total lunar eclipse as the moon went full in the sign of Earth Priestess Virgo has all of our energies are stirred up and a bit WILD.
Buckle up, breathe and try not to do anything rash.
For the next few weeks, we will be in the eclipse cauldron. This is a perfect time to do shadow work and learn to love those parts of you that are problematic, embarrassing, less than ideal.
Imbolc Has Arrived
Here in the northern hemisphere, we are halfway to spring.
“…beneath the surface of winter, the miracle of spring is already in preparation; the cold is relenting; seeds are wakening up. Colors are beginning to imagine how they will return. Then, imperceptibly, somewhere one bud opens and the symphony of renewal is no longer reversible. From the black heart of winter a miraculous, breathing plenitude of color emerges.”

Potent Full Moon in Aries
I went out into the dark,
the night was soft and full of its usual wonders,
but tonight, I wanted the Moon.
I raised my hand,
thinking I could hold its silver light,
thinking I could keep it close.
But it slipped away, as all wild things do,
leaving only its quiet glow on my palm—
a reminder that some gifts
are not for taking.
Still, I stood in its light,
content to listen,
to feel the world turning,
and to understand
that some beauty is meant only
to guide us home.

Earthy New Moon
New moon in earthy Virgo, sign of the earth priestess.
Virgo is all about honoring the rhythms and cycles and seasons of this beautiful planet.
As Summer is drawing to a close in the northern hemisphere, this is the perfect time to perform a simple ritual in honor of the seasons.
Light a candle, say a prayer or make an offering to Mama Earth. Express your gratitude for our beautiful, sacred planet and its seasons.

On A Clear Day
The way the field
holds the shadow of the cottonwood,
this is how life holds me.
Holds me, no matter my shape.
Holds me with no effort.
Holds my darkness and knows it
as weightless, as transient,
as something that will shift,
disappear, return, and shift again.
It never says no to me.
I am still learning to trust life, to trust
no matter how I show up, I will be held.
Trust that my life is not a problem.
Trust that as much as I am the shadow,
I am also the field.
