Rallying The Forces
I’m at the Playground this week, so there will be no office hours tomorrow. Next week will be business as usual.

On Connection, the Turning of Leaves, and Newness

A Winter Solstice Eclipse
Tomorrow is yet another odd full moon. We’re in the middle of a series of full moons that take place at what astrologers call the anaretic degree, the very last degree of a zodiac sign. Events that occur at 29 degrees of a sign are significant in astrology, as they symbolize maturity and transition. This full [...]
Chakras and Planetary Correlations
The body has seven chakras, the Sanskrit word for energy centers. Each chakra in your body has a specific association with physical, psychological, and spiritual needs.
