Forgiveness Work & Saturn in Pisces
This past weekend I offered an Energy Clearing class, and one of the intuitive energy clearing practices was for Self-Forgiveness. I wasn't sure I was going to do this practice-- but it had been coming up for me, lately, so I went with it. It appeared to resonate. One participant said, "We women, we are so hard on ourselves." That was a punch to the gut; we all felt that. Another participant spoke to the way that holding on to emotions can make us physically ill. Yet another said she was...
When You Feel You Can’t Connect to Your Divinity
Every morning in Hawaii I do my favorite part of the day: From the wooden rocking chair on the front porch, while sipping coffee, I watch the parrots eat. Sometimes this ritual is a blessed reprieve from sleepless nights; when the nights last too long for too long, this ritual restores me back to myself. This morning, I am thinking about Connection to my Source Self, my Divine Self. In these nights that last too long, Conditioning around feeling abandoned and alone can kick in. A reality in my...
Lost and Found
Loss. It's inherent to Life. Built-in. Socks. Loved ones. Friends. Treasured mementos. Somedays I think all of life is preparation for the final LET GO. You know what I mean: think about how every attachment we ever have... we eventually give away? On our first wedding anniversary, my husband began a tradition. He said he wanted to give me a ring every year. It would bring him great joy to fill up my hands with rings, he said. I agreed. Who am I to argue with LOVE? 14 years in, that was a lot...
HOPE, TRAUMA & PLUTO IN AQUARIUS
I had given up. I had lost hope-- and I didn’t even realize it! For all my adult years, I have had health syndromes, and “syndromes” by definition are mysterious and defy consistent workable treatments. I’ve been told, so many times, that I’m doing everything right, trying all options available to me. I've also been told that maybe it's just stress. Conventional and alternative practitioners both have suggested stress as culprit, recommending therapy and support groups; I have learned this is...
SCARED|SACRED
it is normal to feel afraid let me tell you a secret, a way to disarm your fear, a way to use your fear -- instead of allowing it to use you, instead of turning that knife onto yourself: *tell me what has most scared you, and I will tell you what matters most to you* afraid of pain? comforting is your temple afraid of suffering? compassion is your way afraid of not being seen? acknowledgement and appreciation are Truths to live by scared of being alone? loving companionship is your treasure,...
Why I’ve Gone Social (despite my resistance!)
Lately I've been adapting to this new world of social media. I can't say that it feels natural but that's likely because it's new to me. I remember when... I was a big fish in a small sea. I started this blog in the early 2000's. I was one of the first astrological writers to share my life (my inner life 🙂 + astrological observations, online. I recall the heady feeling of publishing my first website, and blogs, knowing my words reached numbers of people who would likely never meet me. Within...

A Simple & GOOD Energy Clearing Exercise
Over the past few weeks I’ve recommitted to feeling GOOD. I know my True Nature is to feel good; I deserve to feel good; and I know anytime I am not, it’s “not me or mine”. This doesn’t mean that I will or should always feel good, but I recognize that when I don’t I am either in an energy or telling myself a story. Let me be clear on what I am saying, on two counts: First, I am NOT a fan of New Thought ideas that perpetuate belief structures about keeping positive. I’m energy sensitive and...
Divine Intervention: Help Is Here
DIVINE INTERVENTION: "Help is here and available for the asking." (or, IF YOU NEED HELP, YOU'VE GOT TO ASK FOR IT.) ** It’s the first full moon of the new year, and it’s a Cancer Full Moon so let’s hear it for all the feels. For Cancer, truly caring for ourselves equals honestly meeting our NEEDS – for care, emotional support, nourishment. This lunation is also square Chiron, which can feel prickly, tender and vulnerable for some. I’m calling this one my “crisis of care” lunation- because at...
GO INWARD
Every year, from mid November thru January, it’s a good idea to pull inward. Why? At this time of year, energetic dis-resonance is higher. Holiday cheer contrasting with the real suffering of human life; materialism with financial restrictions; not to mention the many social commitments, which circulate flus and colds, obligations toward family and the accompanying guilt and pressure… Plus, we are heading into Solstice, 12/21, Capricorn season. All of Nature -human, plant and animal- is meant...
