This mantra arose at the Full Moon and resonated within me for days.
Now, we approach the Third Quarter Moon, a time of clearing, release and broadcasting our seeds. I offer you this mantra as a touchstone for clarity, strength and liberation.

Third Quarter Moon – Thursday, May 18 at 5:32 pm.
Dive Deeper… read more of
what is essential, what makes us feel alive.
Scorpio’s persistent passion
strips away pretense.
Full moon finger points
to resistance, indolence, heels digging in,
full moon illuminates our nakedness,
our foibles and potentially our truth.
Moon and Sun in polarity.
Scorpio and Taurus
both strong willed and determined to
fulfill cravings and desires,
can lead to a great dissatisfaction
and a bottomless pit of hunger.
Up-welling tension
breaks stasis,
unplugs congestion,
motivates inertia.
Move through it and
get your groove on.
Go to your core, your center
your kernel, your truth.
Unravel the tension, the noise,
the denial, the distraction,
so that you can contact
and vibrantly know your truth.
This lunation drives attention to what is essential, what makes us feel alive.
Breathe deep into your deepest self.
Release the struggle.
Soften the edges.
Dive deeper in
to your hidden self.
Trust your transformation
from the inside out.
Our real journey is interior; it is a matter of growth, deepening, and of an ever greater surrender to the creative action of love and grace in our hearts.”

☽ Taurus New Moon Meditation ☼
Within your heart is a rose,
a sweet rose bud.
Inhale deep into your heart,
each breath opens a petal.
Sweet rose, fragrant rose,
petal by petal. Breath by breath.
Be patient with yourself.
Allowing and being in your fullness.
Be with the beauty you are.
When your rose is fully open,
inquire within: What is my heart’s desire for this lunar cycle?
Listen and simplify a phrase that states your intentions for the moonth ahead.
Begin to focus on each exhalation as you release your intentions.
Follow your meditation with an embodied activity such as singing, playing music, barefoot dancing, yoga practice, anointing your skin, drinking, eating or gardening, you get the picture… Enjoy!
*re: Crazy Buzz! Mercury (retrograde) conjuncts Uranus in Aries (April 28, 7:49 am PT)
This is a super restless, possibly irritable and rebellious signature. Beware of impulse purchases, thoughtless remarks, hasty decisions. Invite brilliance, innovation, breakthrough! Our challenge is to incorporate the contradictions alongside the slow and peace-loving Taurus New Moon.

Thank you for what you wrote re: Mercury in retrograde. I read it before I left for my visioning retreat, and just connecting with what you had to say helped tremendously! You were so right on! The visioning itself was wonderful and powerful. It’s amazing how much different the world felt when I woke up last Friday morning, too. Thanks for your support & blessings” Nikki P.
Catalyst of constellations
arouses unsolved questions
and agitates the crux of change.
The back and forth of indecision…
or pushing a point
or being pushed.
This way, that a way
pulled in every direction.
Responsibility for what is essential
is the driving core of transformation.
Rebellion challenges, disrupts, demands:
Do it a different way.
The path of balance
calls forth resourcefulness, creativity
and grace under pressure.
Each deep breath brings
the next breath.
Each moment
is followed by another.
Be courageous, be bold,
take the risk to be kind.
Libra Full Moon

This Full Moon in Libra supercharges the axis of the feminine and masculine qualities within us. Retrograde Venus incites us to ignite our feminine values. The retrograde began in Aries (March 1), standing with strength to defend our values. Venus entered Pisces (April 2), where we swim in the waters of the subconscious to awaken and perhaps reclaim our unheard, ignored or hidden voices. We may discover unintended sacrifices that have been made or fantasy that once seemed a reality.
Venus squares Saturn twice (April 8 and April 21) within a short period of time, which colors the span with sober considerations regarding boundaries in relationships and financial decisions. Discontent. Restraint. Thwarted desires. Conservative values. Defining what (or who) is worthy of commitment.
When we are in touch with our desires, needs and feelings, we can acknowledge and respect ourselves. Rather than forcing circumstances, we are able to trust our integrity. Intuitive faith is our ally as we seek “relatedness” in our lives. Yes, we can deceive ourselves or be misled. We also have a choice to inquire with fresh eyes as denial or deception is revealed. Venus direct (April 15), we emerge somewhat tender and wiser. By the time Venus enters Aries (April 28), we are ready to initiate with conviction. Time to move on.
The ancient Meso-Americans timed their battles and sacrifices with the cycle of Venus we are currently experiencing. Taking this cue, we may ask –
What is worth fighting for in my life?
Is there something I must sacrifice in order to get what I want?
How may I walk my path with balance and trust my decisions and direction?
Be seen and understood. My clients consult me for helpful perspective and compassionate insight. As a result, their self-understanding and intuitive capacities are honed and strengthened. Astrology and Tarot are mediums through which my gifts as a life-long intuitive are revealed. I am here for you.

Mercury’s retrograde journey through Taurus reflects our thought process around material values and financial concerns. The usual retrograde caveats apply: pay attention to details, scrutinize contracts, back up your computer. Fix what needs fixin’! Mercury backs into Aries on April 20 to recover details we missed when Mercury charged through the first time. <sigh> We can get impatient, discouraged and angry with this tedious retrograde!
The retrograde in an earth element brings inquiry to our practical reality and the value of the material world. This includes finances, our physical needs for comfort and all that comprises life on this precious earth in our precious bodies.
Note – April 19 is when Mercury is at its closest to the Earth. This is the Inferior Conjunction of the Sun. Be aware of what arises to your attention, what is revealed. Look to where 1 degree of Taurus is located in your astrological chart for further clues.

“Thank you for the reading. It was very validating. There are cycles and some are more challenging than others. In the past, I would just think I was doing it wrong. Now I am gentler with myself. You have helped me so much in my spiritual journey. I am able to take a breath and become more accepting after a reading from you. I appreciate you!” Pam B.
