The Rosy Sparkle of Birthday Readings

August 6, 2020 in Astro Matters, Ruby Intuition, Spirit Matters, Style Matters

It should surprise nobody that I do a lot of birthday readings during Leo season. Those born under this sign know how to treat themselves right—and this includes harnessing the rosy sparkle of solar returns.

When asked about the ideal time to schedule a reading, I always say “trust your gut” because that is the best advice regarding anything. But birthday readings boast extra magic, because we can beautifully meld our wishes with divine will when the sun is close to its location at the time of our birth. When we tune into the heavens in the fortnight around our solar returns, we don’t just anticipate the future. We shape it with the practical delight that is our birthright.

Astro PSA: Full Moon in Aquarius

August 3, 2020 in Astro Matters, Country Matters, Ruby Intuition, Spirit Matters

If you’re feeling wild-eyed today, it may not just be the news. There’s also a full moon taking place in innovative Aquarius. Also known as the sturgeon moon, this lunar aspect is most concerned with the human condition–but transpersonally. Expect significant tweaks to social, professional, and civic networks rather than your most intimate relationships. That said, because we’re in dramatic Leo season and this full moon is squaring shit-stirring Uranus, these, ahem, “tweaks” may arrive at a super-high voltage.

My suggestion? Get ahead of these upsets by asking yourself: “How am I not myself in larger groups? How do my issues impair others’ comfort and expression? What overall patterns impair rather than boost useful group dynamics?” Better yet: go outside and ask the moon herself. She’ll answer in your dreams.

The Water Bearer prizes freedom and Leo prizes authenticity, so chances are good this week will disrupt toxic hierarchies of all shapes and sizes. So your big-girl pants (everyone!), because we’re in for breakthroughs, not just breakdowns.

To harness this full moon magic for yourself or a loved one, book a reading or a ritual.

New Moon, Tough Titties

July 20, 2020 in Astro Matters, Country Matters, Essays, Ruby Intuition, Spirit Matters

TOUGH-LOVE ASTRO PSA, EMPHASIS ON THE LOVE! As I write this, a new moon is rising. Though of course we cannot see it—a new moon is always invisible—we can feel it. And its gravity is, well, grave. Why? Because this moon in security-focused, homebody Cancer is opposing Saturn, who insists we collectively live with what we need rather than crave. Cue safeguards for all, and an economy of love that rejects all that does not serve our best selves.

Cornel West has famously pointed out that social justice is what love looks like in public—and a love movement is exactly what this new moon is forcing us to manifest. Witness the Mothers Against Police Brutality, whose Wall of Moms protects BLM activists from riot gear-clad federal bullies er officers. Witness the protesters themselves, who have bravely enacted profound positive shifts without endangering the public health compromised by heedless others. And witness those wearing masks in sweaty summer weather to protect everyone from the deleterious effects of Covid-19. Bottom line: Here on this particular new moon, I do not advise you to make wishes for your personal expansion. Instead, list three concrete ways you wish to contribute to the highest common good. Trust me when I say the new moon will grant those wishes—and those alone.
