June 2023
Aaaaaah, is your life feeling like you have been hit by a freight train too?
This Taurus season was not as slow and steady as I would have hoped.
The double Martian eclipse season, and then Mars taking up the fourth corner of the Fixed cross last week while Jupiter has expanded the fixed energy by arriving in Taurus…well yet again it expands the already present conversation we have been having.
Disclaimer ignore this if the astrology boggles the mind
For those wondering what is a fixed cross, it means we have had planets in all four of the fixed signs. Last month we said Pluto in the first degree of Aquarius, the North and South Node 90° either side of that in Taurus and Scorpio respectively. Jupiter arrived in early Taurus too, and from the Taurus new moon for about a week we really felt Mars at the early degrees of the fourth fixed sign, opposite Aquarius, Leo.
Basically, if you did not figure out what you needed to willingly sacrifice, that was no longer good for you, well, then it was probably forced upon you.
For me, I had mentally sacrificed, and thought I was doing a stellar job (not easily but steadily), but…and here is the big BUT, I felt like an ass, when I realized through lightning strikes and after shocks that I had not sacrificed emotionally.
What can I say, my fixed energy does not give up easily, do you have the same issue?
Thanks to years of self-work, my deep tool box and the amazing people I have cultivated by being Amazing myself (yes, I am owning my wonderful right here and right now) in all the deep trauma and tick bite fever to boot (hmm insect medicine, what is parasitic in my life),
I am so #grateful and I know I may never have budged or asked for help if life had not sent me a freight train.
Enough about me, how do we get through the intensity of being broken open?
Compost
For us to have beautiful flowers and abundant fruits, the soil needs to be rich and nutritious.
I do so love a metaphor to assist in the embodying and assimilating of life experiences.
These life experiences so many of us cannot deny or avoid are the stuff of good compost.
But compost comes from the decomposition of dead plant matter…it is from this death that the new is birthed.
Now I know we should really have left behind the Scorpio eclipse, but do you remember me saying on numerous occasions that eclipses have a further reach that your average lunation, and that we often don’t realize till a little down the line, what a turning point the eclipse was, well I am feeling this big time for the collective with regards to that last eclipse.
Scorpio is ruled by Pluto and both are all about the death and rebirth cycle.
Let’s look at another great analogy of this, when you take beautiful juicy grapes and decide to turn them into wine, we see the death rebirth cycle.
The grapes are juiced and left ostensibly to rot, and die until by some magical, alchemical process they begin to ferment and bubble and transform into an entirely different thing.
For the wine to live the grapes had to die.
The wine is a more advanced and matured version of the grape, one that had to endure a death transformation and rebirth process to become much more complex and valuable, than it would have been in a preschool juice box.
How can we take life’s ‘crazy’ right now and compost our new seedlings?
My suggestion would be to write down your dreams.
Get really clear on what it is that you want, what it is that you truly value now.
NOT what you should want or value, NOT what your family expects of you, NOT even what the old you wanted (unless you truly still do want it).
Dig deep into the decomposition and feel for what is pulling you, magnetically attracting you, sparking your soul.
Then compost that, no more time wasted on the stuff you have outgrown.
Every juice box slurping toddler becomes a fine (or not so fine) wine at some point.
The choice is yours to develop your bouquet, fruity, full bodied, woody (look I don’t really know my wine but you get the idea).
The better the soil and the mineral rich compost the more potent the flower and fruit.
The energy of April and May were so intense, June gives us a moment to focus on our soil.
Astrology Buzz
Gemini May 22nd to Jun 21st Gemini season brings us a change in the winds…will you blow with it, or resist it? Gemini always gives us two choices, and neither is right or wrong, but each will take us on a different adventure.
We may even reach the same destination, just by a different road.
Did you ever read those books as a child, where you could choose to go to the palace with the old woman or flee into the dark forest by turning to a different page.
Continually making different choices but the story always kind of culminated the same way.
Well, we have certain paths in life and we have a level of free will, but there is an invisible hand guiding us to the big promised life lessons and experiences.
Cancer Jun 22nd to Jul 23rd This Cancer season is going to be very tied to our changing values and nurturing the new values which require us to be emotional warriors for our and the collectives greater good.
Be aware of where you default to over giving, smothering even…are you focusing on what used to be really important to you or what is becoming more and more important to you?
Take some rest and time to reflect, it’s not indulgent, it is self-care.

The #crystal I want to spotlight is #Labradorite
It is part of the feldspar family, and cousin to #Moonstone
But where moonstone is all nurturing and emotionally focused (connecting to the sign Cancer), Labradorite is her gothic, cousin.
Let’s call her Dora.
Dora dresses in dark and mysterious colors, has a deep curiosity about taboos, magic and mystery and is not afraid to go to those places the “good girl” would never be seen dead.
Sandy (moonstone) would be the “good girl”, who is always intrigued by her cousin Dora, but dare not question the status quo, or go against the family and tradition to see what lies beneath.
Until one day, long grown and still trying to uphold the good girl archetype Sandy’s world falls apart.
She feels vulnerable, exposed, a failure…Dora would never judge her, she thinks as she heads for the door.
Dora is unsurprised to see her troubled cousin and is her usual dark and cryptic self.
She smudges her cousin at the door, draws her some tarot cards over tea and hands her a pen and paper as she tells her she is in a phoenix process, and the questions Dora is going to pose to Sandy should be answered with absolute honesty.
This deep reflection will be for Sandy alone, so she need not hold back.
Hour’s pass, many cups of tea and oceans of tears.
When Sandy leaves she feels transformed.
She is amazed at her cousin’s ability to cut straight to the point.
To shine a light where Sandy was formerly not able to see and to hold space for intense emotion and change as if it were just a normal Thursday!
She laughs on her way home,
‘often it is not the ones cloaked in conformity, with a white picket fence, 2.4 children, and a dog in the yard that have their sh1t together’ she thinks,
‘her cousin has always made others uncomfortable with her piercing gaze and probing questions, she has always been comfortable in her own skin and owned her oddness.
The truth is she has always been true to who she is and known herself.
Well, I think it is time I did the same” proclaims Sandy out loud.
So, this story ran away with me a little, but you can see the transformative power and alchemical effects of labra-Dora-ite. It is a favorite of mine.

#Frankincense steps into the limelight this month, he is not afraid to bring his sacred masculine to the stage.
“I am old, and with age comes wisdom, as a culture we should revere our elders, and listen to their stories.
For as elders we have an embodied understanding of all the various seasons and cycles life gifts us.
We have struggled against change, grief, loss, love, life and death many times over.” Frank stares into the audience sitting rapt at his feet.
“I became a wise male elder by learning to grow when the land was arid, finding the golden resin deep within myself, through trial and error figuring out how to calm my inflamed and aggressive nature and eventually to trust the transformation process, even when it hurts.
I bring you nuggets of resinous wisdom the gold I alchemized from the darkness within me.
For generations I have endured and struggled, but now I have faith and trust in the process. This is my gift to you.”
