I’ve been thinking a lot about the notion of vision.
We think about vision as the ability to see, to use our faculties of sight to perceive things in our environs. In this way, vision is connected to the manifest and to the present.
Read MoreMercury Retrograde can be a great time for retracing our steps so that we can gain the insights integral moving forward in our lives with more clarity and awareness.
The Rise & Shine recently asked me how it may also impact our sleep and dreams, a realm in which I am so interested, and so I was thrilled to share my perspectives.
Read MoreU-Turns and You Turns: this feels like one of the poignant themes for the week.
It is mirrored in Mercury beginning its three-week retrograde cycle on Tuesday, a time when it appears to shift directions, doing a U-Turn of sorts when the retrograde begins. And as the planet of communication orients in a new direction* so should we. When Mercury does a U-Turn, it also seems to behoove us to do the same: to look at things from a new angle, to retrace our steps, and to appreciate that we are in a period where things are moving in a different direction.
Read MoreThe yearly Pisces New Moon offers us an opportunity to initiate new ways in which we can dive into our well of compassion, our artistic nature, and our knowingness that we are a reflection of and connected to everything.

We may also find ourselves better understanding our anger, how it both guides and blinds us, and how to marshal our forces to fight for that which ignites our spirit.
Read MoreThe Virgo Full Moon calls on us to see both the differences and the similarities. While we may be drawn to classify and criticize, remembering that everything is connected—even if we can’t immediately perceive it—can yield a greater acceptance of self and others.
Read MoreI didn’t wake up today and think “I’m going to write about the Mars/Uranus Conjunction that takes place this week and how it inspires us to break patterns and do things a different way. And therefore, I’m not going to write my weekly Stellar Insights until much later in the day then I usually do, since that seems to fit the astrological energies of doing things in an unexpected and non-usual manner.” It just sort of happened that way.
Read MoreFebruary 13 heralds the last of the Mars/Uranus Conjunctions in Aries for a very long time,, likely for our lifetime. That’s because on March 6, Uranus leaves Aries (the sign it’s been in since 2011) and won’t return until 2095!
