When the New Moon occurs in Taurus we have a great opportunity to look within and see what it is that brings us comfort and a greater sense of security. Taking the time to examine what activities and earthly delights yield pleasure can help you discover a sense of rootedness that can serve you well in the coming year.
Read MoreShi*t—and it’s colloquial cousin BS—are captivating our attention this week, quite literally and figuratively seeming to be everywhere. After all, we’re in the midst of the Pluto station, as the planet of the underworld is set to shift retrograde on Wednesday.

Read MoreI didn’t end up writing this weekly update until Monday in the late afternoon. Usually I do it before this point, on Sunday or first thing Monday morning.
My delay was partly practical (an early morning appointment and a writing project that’s captivated my focus and a ton of my time). And it was partly instinctual (before this point, whenever I would think of writing it, I felt called to wait longer).

And with this, what was brought to view at the end of March related to relationships, the ways in which we accommodate others, and how we fight for justice may be brought to our attention again. We may see the evolution of the journey that we have undertaken the last four weeks in these realms.

It may seem that honing in isn’t the key for dispersing haziness, that the more we try to only rely upon our rational minds, the more we may feel like we’re Alice meeting the White Rabbit, dealing with situations that seem to mix up and confuse what we perceive to be rationality.
