APRIL 1-25: MERCURY RETROGRADE IN ARIES ✨ Yeste

APRIL 1-25: MERCURY RETROGRADE IN ARIES ✨

Yesterday, messenger Mercury initiated its triannual retrograde at 27° Aries ♈️💫. This means that over the next 3.5 weeks, the planet will be passing Earth in its orbit and will *appear* to move backwards to 15° of the sign Aries as it does. For us earthlings, this means it’s time to slow down, tune in to our inner voice, reflect on the narratives that our lives and identities are built upon, and rewrite any stories that no longer serve us and the people we’re called to become 🌈.

In Aries, this retrograde is an invitation to notice how certain repetitive thoughts and words we tend to use are getting in the way of us living our truth, pursuing our passions, trusting our guts, surrendering to spirit, and courageously going after what we want in life ❤️‍🔥.

How do we define ourselves and what we’re capable of? Which of these definitions are empowering and in alignment and which are unsupportive and in need of revision? What role do fear, competition, impatience, and/or anger play in our decisions? And how do they seep into our worldview and color our perceptions?

Our mind is the narrator of our life story, so let’s take this time to change its tone if it isn’t working for us.

To close, the Chandra Symbol for 27° Aries is “a wreath of laurel placed on the head of an old man” and Ellias Lonsdale describes it as: “The soul’s journey is absolutely endless, and you sense throughout that journey that somebody is watching. The Greater Dynamic is at work here and you live into that ultimate aspect from the very beginning. You simply know that your destiny must and will be fulfilled. There is a higher vibrational inside track that accompanies each step, every phase, and it gives you back to yourself in such a fashion that you are never alone, not incomplete, never less than whole. All agitations only serve to quicken the pace, to bring you back on the spiral to that vital place again where you are known and acknowledged, and from which you can go forth and acknowledge others in their destiny light—seen and sensed and known, free of all qualifications.”

Take care, own your magic, and happy retrograding!

MARCH 25: FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE IN LIBRA 🌕🔥✨

Early this morning, at about 12am PDT, we had a somewhat subtle yet powerful penumbral Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 5° Libra ♎️.

Today’s eclipse is the first of two this Aries Season. Aligned with the karmic South Node in Libra, it invites us to shake off the shackles of external expectation and validation so we can step confidently into our true colors under the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8th 🌈🔥.

With the planetary ruler of this Libran eclipse, Venus, in a separating conjunction with Saturn in Pisces (i.e. the two planets currently appear close to each other but are moving apart), we may be triggered by old patterns of guilt, shame, inadequacy, repression, unworthiness, unlovability, and fears of rejection, BUT ONLY because we’re ready to address them with compassion, forgive the past and its perceived failures and imperfections, and transcend these painful patterns for good 💓.

And with Mercury conjunct Eris in its pre-retrograde shadow (the first of three conjunctions), we’re asked to notice the narratives that have kept us from being unapologetically ourselves so we can begin the work of unraveling and rewriting them in the weeks to come ❤️‍🔥.

I hope you have a healing and revealing start to eclipse season, my friends! Take care, rest often, go easy on yourself (and others), and enjoy this (r)evolutionary time 🌕🌑🐍.

🖤 Diana

ARIES SEASON 2024: A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS AS AN OLD

ARIES SEASON 2024: A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS AS AN OLD ONE CLOSES ✨

Last night, on the vernal equinox in the northern hemisphere, the Sun left the liminal seas of Pisces and was reborn in the initiatory fires of Aries ♈️🔥. And so a new astrological year begins 🌟!

This year, Aries Season is jam-packed with significant celestial events ✨. We have a karmic lunar eclipse at 5° Libra on 3/25, Mercury stationing retrograde in the late degrees of Aries on 4/1, a (r)evolutionary total solar eclipse at 19° Aries on 4/8, and Jupiter approaching its epic conjunction with Uranus at 21° Taurus (exact on 4/20) as the season draws to a close ⚡️♉️. And with Saturn, Chiron, and dwarf planet Eris factoring heavily in these events, the energies of this next month will likely be potent, triggering, and all around big at times (to say the least 💥).

That said, this cosmic line-up invites us to heal any wounds to our worthiness, self-sovereignty, confidence, and personal authority; particularly those that root from significant relationships in our lives and continue to impact our relational experience today…

To notice any competitive tendencies that have been leading us astray, acknowledge where impatience and irritability have been hampering our progress, and reflect on the stories that surround our anger, passion, and inner warrior; releasing or rewriting any that prevent us from being honest with ourselves (and others) and/or which serve to thwart our self-actualization…

To rekindle our courage and re-commit to manifesting the unique dreams that incarnated here with us…

And to shake off any outworn value systems and/or old beliefs about our value that have kept us from realizing our abundance and blossoming into our true selves 🌈.

Lastly, with Mars, the planetary ruler of Aries, spending most of the season in Pisces, we’re reminded that by conjuring our compassion and forgiving ourselves and others for past mistakes, misunderstandings, misdeeds, and hurts, we can finally free ourselves from old cycles of suffering and wholeheartedly embrace the wonder of the present and the destiny call of the future 🌸✨.

Have a blessed Aries Season, my friends!

MARCH 10: NEW MOON IN PISCES 🌑✨ Early this m

MARCH 10: NEW MOON IN PISCES 🌑✨

Early this morning, around 2am PT, we had a cleansing and cathartic New Moon at 20° Pisces ♓️🌊.

This Pisces lunation offers us an opportunity to temporarily swim off the wheel of samsara and transcend some of the karmic cycles we’ve been caught in. It invites us to heal the pain of the past, shed any unforgiveness that’s been weighing heavy on our hearts and souls, and embrace the freedom and peace that comes from surrendering to the universal flow ✨.

The goddesses involved in this New Moon give us a hint as to where some healing is needed. First, both Black Moon and “True” Lilith are opposing the Moon from the sign Virgo. The wounds surrounding Lilith often feel like rage and hurt from being made to feel unequal, impure, ostracized, and/or vilified for being oneself or choosing one’s own path through life. We’re now asked to hold space for this immense anger and pain… to listen to her story and offer her compassion, love, and acceptance… then to slowly release any fury, bitterness, or resentment that stands in the way of our empowerment ❤️‍🔥.

Asteroid Hera (#103) also sits in a close conjunction with Neptune - the planetary co-ruler of the New Moon. Hera, the Ancient Greek Queen of the gods and counterpart of Zeus, became associated with jealousy, pettiness, and vengefulness as she targeted the objects of Zeus’ philandering and their offspring. After being forced into marriage, Hera was disempowered, disrespected, and humiliated. As an archetype, her presence reopens similar wounds and triggers a set of very human emotions that we’ve pushed into the shadows and deemed “ugly” and shameful. This lunation asks us to honor and practice understanding for Hera’s humanity… to offer her the respect, dignity, and forgiveness she deserves… and to show empathy for her suffering while shedding the vindictiveness, spite, and hostility that lead us astray 🌹.

I hope you find this New Moon to be a healing and revealing one 🌑✨. If you’d like to learn more and work with its energy in an intentional way, you can check out the pre-recorded New Moon ceremony I hosted with @lawofpositivism in my bio ♓️💫.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S WEEKEND ✨ I’m a

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S WEEKEND ✨

I’m a little late for celebrating International Women’s Day here, so I’m just going to go ahead and claim the whole weekend for women 😜.

Personally, I’ve never felt stronger sisterhood and more connected to the women in my life (and in the world at large) than I have this past year 🩷. The transition into motherhood has been significant, to say the least 😅, but I’ve felt so incredibly supported and encouraged throughout this process by countless female clients, partners, colleagues, mentors, friends, practitioners, and family members, and it’s made all the difference!

Even complete strangers have stepped in and shown so much love and solidarity ✊🌸. Last weekend, we took a little family vacation to see my sister in Southern California and while we were at the airport, Iris ended up needing a diaper change in a major way. I went into the bathroom to use the changing table and my diaper bag started to tip over and spill out. A woman waiting in line rushed over to help and when I started thanking her and apologizing, she just put her hand on my shoulder and said “I’m with you sister” 💛.

In retrospect, I think this invisible web of sisterhood has always been there, but I wasn’t as open to it energetically and consciously aware of it as I am now. As I get more comfortable being helped and held, it’s becoming one of my favorite parts of motherhood… leaning into the feminine family that has been waiting in the wings to support and nurture my growth all along 💕✨.

I hope you’re feeling the love and connectedness of this beautiful day (and weekend) as well, and if you’re interested in learning about some of the celestial energies surrounding this International Women’s Day and the upcoming New Moon in Pisces you can check out the empowering and cathartic ceremony I recorded with @lawofpositivism and/or tune into our recent podcast episode together (links in bio 💫).

Take care, my friends, and have a wonderful weekend!

THE DARK MOON PHASE ✨ We’re currently in the

THE DARK MOON PHASE ✨

We’re currently in the Balsamic - or Dark - phase of the Moon 🌙. This is the time between the last “quarter Moon,” which happened in Sagittarius earlier this week, and the next New Moon, which will occur in Pisces this Sunday ♓️🌊.

The Dark Moon is a powerful portal for introspection, healing, rest, and reflection. During this time, we’re called to take a step back from life’s hustle and bustle, turn our focus within, and gently cleanse the emotional debris we’ve accumulated over the last year - since the previous New Moon in Pisces on 2/20/23 - so we can prepare for our lunar rebirth 🌷.

(Side Note: By looking at your birth chart - which can be created for free on astro.com - and finding the house(s) that the sign Pisces falls in, you can get a better sense for the area(s) of life that is ready for release and renewal).

During this particular Dark Moon phase, the Moon will form conjunctions with Pluto (today), Mars (Thursday), Venus (Friday), and Saturn (Saturday). With these planets in the mix, we’re being asked to address any intense, compulsive, and potentially overpowering fears and complexes that might hamper the potential for (self)forgiveness and transcendence that this New Moon carries… to reconnect with our courage and heal any unresolved rage so we can channel our energy into chasing our dreams… to restore our self-worth and release any relational patterns that no longer serve us… and to recommit to the beautiful legacy we’re here to leave while shedding any insecurities, shame, and self-imposed limits that might thwart our soul purpose 🪐✨.

This is a powerful phase for endings before the bountiful new beginnings this Piscean lunation has to offer, so let’s slow down, embrace the darkness and stillness of this inner work, and prepare ourselves for what’s to come 🌸.

If you’re interested in connecting with kindred spirits to engage in this cathartic work of healing the past and welcoming in a more empowering future, I’d love to invite you to the virtual Pisces New Moon ceremony I’m hosting with @lawofpositivism this Friday, March 8th 🌑. To learn more + register, visit the link in my bio 💫.

FEBRUARY 28: THE SUN-MERCURY-SATURN CONJUNCTION ✨

Tomorrow, the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn will all align at 9° Pisces to mix, blend, and synergistically strengthen their celestial powers ♓️🪐☀️💫.

This triple conjunction arrives to offer us clarity and confidence surrounding our god(dess)-given gifts and the soul-centered legacies we’re here to leave. With Saturn’s grounding influence, we’re reminded that the great works we’re being called to (co)create will likely take time and that patience, perseverance, and faith in the universe’s unfolding will be essential ingredients as we set sail to manifest our Piscean dreams. And with the Sun and Mercury contributing creativity, curiosity, credence, vitality, vision, and verbal and cognitive powers, we have the perfect planetary combination to skillfully navigate the open ocean of people, partners, and possibilities that lies before us 🌊.

We may not have it all “figured out” by the time we rest our weary heads tomorrow night, but the energy of this celestial event has the potential to carry us significantly closer to clarity if we’re willing to sit with ourselves (or potentially a coach/counselor/mentor/teacher/trusted friend), turn our focus within, and really listen to the messages that arise and arrive for us 🪐✨.

To close, the Chandra Symbol for 9° Pisces is “An old witch on a windy promontory. She is calling to the sea.” And Ellias Lonsdale describes it as: “Staggeringly aware of the overall situation and its call, you respond deeply and with earnest, plaintive engagement with all that is happening. You are profoundly emotional, physical, and personal in order to ground and focus a vaster attunement, urgently and critically mobilized at hot spots. Assigned to tune in to everything and make sure all the cosmic bases are covered—inner-planes activity predominates. You live within vast worlds, and are psychically charged with all that is being taken in, but your central focus is to respond, to report, to send the inner messages[…] knowing how to be there on the spot to turn things around by inward force of the magical will.”

Take care and enjoy this illuminating transit, my friends!

FEBRUARY 24: FULL MOON IN VIRGO 🌕✨ Early thi

FEBRUARY 24: FULL MOON IN VIRGO 🌕✨

Early this morning, at about 4:30am PST, we had an inspiring, illuminating, centering, and calmly cathartic Full Moon at 5° Virgo ♍️🪷.

With Saturn and Mercury (the planetary ruler of the Full Moon) sitting conjunct the Sun in Pisces, this lunar event might offer us greater clarity and resolve as we outline the next chapter in our life stories and make moves toward manifesting our dreams ✨. Or it might reveal the path to a more peaceful and awakened mind - perhaps one paved with daily meditation, prayer, yoga, chanting, quiet introspection, relaxing rituals, or other mindfulness practices 🧘🏽‍♀️.

This Virgo Moon also formed a harmonious trine with Jupiter in Taurus, inviting us to believe in our luck and abundance, but also to take practical steps to give that luck legs to stand on and allow that abundance to take tangible form 🌱.

To close, the Chandra Symbol for this degree of Virgo is “a banyan tree that creates an entire forest” and astrologer Ellias Lonsdale describes it as: “A towering stature. Containing within yourself a vast creative force that can fill the world with its diverse and multiplex awareness. You have a graphic ability to evoke, to capture, to epitomize a realm, a world, to draw it forth, to highlight it. And this then extends into many others, such that the illumination, the fresh angle is sharply relevant and universally resonant. Experiencing for yourself the wisdom of the ages, proving it out afresh by experimentation and open discovery. Piercing to the core with your fluent presence in this world. Saying in so many different ways “Here it is, here it is again. I have found it over here”—the living proof that nature is totally alive, that the creative power is everywhere, and that all of it yearns to be given voice, to be celebrated, to be acknowledged by one who can reach to the vasts and penetrate to the details and make macrocosm and microcosm one.”

And so it is 🙏. I hope you enjoy this bounteous and beautiful Full Moon weekend, my friends 🌕! Take care!

🩵 Diana
