This epic week…..

At the risk of repeating myself, it is an epic week in the cosmos. The big conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune in Pisces provides opportunity to dream big, amplify compassion, and try not to get too lost in fantasy. Saturn, Lord of karma is squaring the Eclipse points, creating a sense of a karmic crossroads. And Saturday’s Full Moon in Libra marks the entry point into the coming Eclipse ‘season’ of two back-to-back Eclipses along the axis of Taurus and Scorpio. 

Eclipses are extra powerful, and unpredictable New and Full Moons. Eclipse season is a time of accelerated change, sudden reversals, and energetic intensity. This week’s Libra Full Moon is powerful enough on its own and sets a tone of compassionate action, as well as brings a reminder that true power comes from love and not fear. 

Distilling everything down to some manageable themes is always the challenge of the astrologer. I have taken a stab at it on the podcast, as well as in this new blog post:

Because I am deep in the midst of a course on clearing karmic imprints using self-directed compassion, my words are heavily shaped by what I am learning – and more importantly, what I am unlearning. The timing of the course is wildly reflective of the current astrology and its interactions with my chart. It feels epic to me – perhaps you are feeling some of your own epic shifts. 

Saturday’s podcast will be a live session with me, primarily on the subject of compassion. I’ll post the link for $8 patrons on Friday, and I’d love to see some of you there at 10 am Mountain/Noon Eastern. It’s a great opportunity to ask questions and have a conversation.
