How are you? As we in the northern hemisphere cross the threshold of autumn into winter, as the ancient Celts referred to it, Samhain (a Gaelic word pronounced "sow-win") or what's now called Halloween - was a time of honoring the dead. Not just ancestors who've crossed over, but the parts of our lives that are readying to die I hope you are well and taking care of yourself. These times are deeply emotional and a lot of people are on [...]
Hello, How are you? The weather is getting colder and the leaves are coloring and falling from the trees, the Sun is setting and lower on the horizon. Everything turns inwards, which is a natural movement, the sap in trees already makes a start in the month of August. Saying goodbye to the warm season, warmth and joy brings sadness and a sense of loss. There is nothing wrong with that, tears help to dispose of waste. Grief and sadness are [...]
Happy Full Moon! The Harvest Moon arrives today in Aries and this fiery Full Moon is a call for courage as boundaries are set and authority is calibrated. Aries is the sign of independence and strength, and its full moon today inspires inner courage. This is a call against despair, and an ignition of our strength. Feelings of not being able to go on and of not belonging is a deep wound that is now being felt. This is a time to [...]
Greetings! Oh wow I realize I am not posting a lot these days, I was almost about to write "as I should", but trying to get rid of those, so no "shoulds" here. Is it just me or has time sped up? And is it Fall already? The weather in The Netherlands is still unusually warm and sunny (we even saw 30 degrees Celcius temperatures last week and now it is a comfortable sunny 21 degrees) though there is chill in [...]
Yesterday was the New Moon in Cancer and family is very important to Cancerians. Cancer is the zodiac's sign of home, family, and nurturance. The new moon phase is about setting new intentions, setting new goals and making fresh plans for the coming lunar cycle. Since the new moon is in the domestic sign of Cancer, it's good to get in touch with loved ones and relatives again, especially if you haven't seen them in a while. If there are conflicts [...]
I wanted to post sooner, about the powerful Super Full Moon in Scorpio, but time is just not working for me at the moments, days seem to blend together and planning is just outdated. During this Full Moon - and still am in this Moon's window - I am working with those deep dark Scorpio aspects and the stings are painful but transformative. This Full Moon in Scorpio invites introspection, digging in the dark places of our psyches, and regeneration. We [...]
Hiya! How are you doing and being? Apologies for the delay as I find it quite hard to put to 'paper' what I am feeling and sensing, what I want to share and where I just want and/or need to be quiet. This is such a healing time for the collective. We all go through deep wounding that comes to the surface for review and release. And this can be a lot to handle. I find it challenging to discern what [...]
This is a powerful New Moon as it is the first New Moon of a New Astrological Year. The Moon and the Sun are now in Aries and this is a powerful time to use the Aries energy to make a new start and meet our challenges, with clarity of vision, confidence and courage. Aries is about action, rebirth and moving forward. You may have strong feelings welling up and bursting out. Aries needs to move and express. I now see [...]
HelloHow are you? I am feeling a bit frazzled after all the storms and rain. The promise of Spring is in the air though and I find myself smiling at the trees and birds who are blissfully singing their songs and greeting nature back to life! Thankfully yesterday was sunny so I spent the day wandering through the city and drinking in the sunlight. Did me so much good! Now the wind and storms didn't just destroy what it found on [...]
Happy Pisces New Moon - this is a time of dark silence, a time to reflect and to dream, dream big dreams. Just remember to not let the water sweep you away - stay grounded. Today is a perfect day to start or to strengthen your self-care routine. Feel where your body and energy needs extra attention. What can you leave behind this cycle, what is no longer resonating with you. Set powerful intentions to harness this Moon's energy and spend [...]
