Astro PSA: Full Moon in Aries

October 1, 2020 in Astro Matters, Ruby Intuition, Spirit Matters

There’s a full moon in Aries today, and this lady means business. For the last three weeks, Mars has been retrograding in this action-oriented sign and the result has been lots of huffing and puffing with very few results. Cue Tuesday’s debates, though I’m guessing you have examples galore in your own life. So today’s full moon, which peaks at 5:05pm EST, means we’ll finally get to kick ass and take names. So let’s help her help us. List the external obstacles holding you back in your work and sex life. (Notice I said sex, not love, dear ones.) Under the night sky, ask Lady Luna to intervene on your behalf. Be specific, and don’t forget to say please and thank you. (It is Libra Season, after all.) Then let tonight’s dreams show you what to do next. May we each find our purest fire.

Kadish for the Queen: RBG, 1933-2020

Ruth Bader Ginsberg did her very best–which is so much more than can be said of most people and was more than anyone ever could have asked, especially since she was likely far sicker for longer than she let on. What we did know was that she’d suffered through four bouts of cancer. That she’d done more for woman’s rights–for human rights–than anyone in American judicial history.

And that she worked until her death to preserve what was left of American democracy.

It hurts so much to think she probably died thinking she was failing us. These are the darkest times any of us can remember and I am only shored by the idea that she took leave now, on the good wind of a new year and a new moon, so her massive energetic force could be even more powerful from the other side. You may find such a notion magical thinking but practical magic is what we have left now.

According to Jewish tradition, a person who dies on Rosh Hashanah, which began yesterday, is a tzadik, a person of great righteousness. Let the bleat of the shofar, the ram’s horn that announces the Jewish New Year, rouse us to speak for those with no voice. May Justice Ginsberg’s light and fortitude continue to guide us through these treacherous times, and may we honor her legacy today and every day of this new year.

Astro PSA: New Moon in Virgo

September 17, 2020 in Astro Matters, Country Matters, Ruby Intuition

A new moon rose at 4am EST today, but you’d be forgiven for sleeping through it. The sun is also in this sign, and Virgo, while occasionally a nag, has a beautiful bedside manner. Yes, there’s big change in the air—a sudden autumnal crispness, the blessing (mitzvah!) of tomorrow’s Jewish New Year, the terror looming on the American landscape. But this new moon is less about fireworks and full-steam-ahead energy than subtle transitions.

Trining soul-builder Saturn squaring a retrograding Mars, it’s here to nudge us into modest but meaningful shifts, especially in areas of work and communication. So meditate for a minute on small tweaks that can improve the state of your life and the collective good. Can you call swing state voters? Walk a daily, unplugged mile outdoors? Learn a new recipe rather than order more takeout? Grocery shop for an overwhelmed neighbor? While the world is exploding all around us, let’s cultivate this new moon’s slow-moving service and grace. Because sometimes the subtle shifts are the most powerful.
