11 simple ways to connect with Sun energy
Merry Summer Solstice to you! Today we celebrate the wheel's turning, the beginning of Cancer season, and the start of summer. In this post, I share eleven simple ways to connect to Solar energy throughout the year.
Saturn in Pisces: the Sanctification of Pleasure
Between now and when Saturn stations retrograde on June 17th, the majority of the aspects from other planets are sextiles (60°) and trines (120°). These aspects are under the domain of both benefics, Venus (sextile) and Jupiter (trine). This means we may expect ease, flow, harmony, connection and growth. And with Saturn floating in the sign of Pisces this gives plenty of opportunity to sanctify our pleasure.
Venus in Pisces 2023 Horoscopes
Today at 6:33 pm pacific time, Venus, the planet of love and connection, enters the dreamy sign of Pisces, where its beauty, harmony, and charm are heightened and enhanced through the generous, compassionate, kind eyes of the universal healer. Venus is only here for a short period before moving into fiery Aries on February 19th at 11:55pm pacific time, so we only have a little over three weeks with this beauty in all her glory during the season that celebrates the rebels and edge walkers, so folks, let's enjoy it, shall we?
Reasons to work with an astrologer
You probably know your sun sign and have read your horoscope repeatedly. You may even know what astrologers call your “Big Three” in astrology, which consists of your sun sign, moon sign, and rising sign or ascendant. But have you ever wondered what working with an astrologer can do for you?
Life After the 8th House
The eighth house in astrology is complex, and there is no way around that. Historically it was called the Idle House and represented death and monetary gain via inheritance. In the 19th century, sex and mental health were added into the mix. Simply put, it contains everything we don’t want to acknowledge or admit, let alone talk openly about. Think of subject matter that is secret, stigmatized, and/or taboo and you’ve got it. But we all experience it at some point, whether by personal planets placed there in our birth charts or by periodic planetary transits through our eighth house.
Change Happens When its Time
Life is so beautiful, everyone. All fruit ripens, all change happens when its time. When we embrace the natural self and our desires within, we are better able to connect with the wider world outside ourselves and co-create a new experience.
This is my full moon offering of thanks.
