Still in eclipse energy with an extra added punch
Ms. Moon conjoins Pluto and squares Uranus. Break down. Re-build. Break down. Re-build. That’s the dance of Pluto square Uranus, which we will be experiencing 7 times through 2015. I know, I know. What a TIME on Planet Earth! Where Pluto in early degrees of Capricorn and Uranus in early degrees of Aries move in your chart will show you the arenas of your life where this is playing out-which you should already know by just living it! Astrology does not make things happen. Astrology validates what is.
Mercury moves into emotional Cancer (where it will be until July 2nd) so don’t be surprised if your thoughts feel dominated by feelings. Remember that feelings are like clouds, always moving and changing, so don’t make any life-altering decisions based on your emotional state of mind.
Mercury in Cancer softens conversation with nurturing and caring. Before bedtime Mercury trining Neptune brings you into a forgiving, faith-infused state of mind
Lunar Eclipse: Put emotional debris to the curb for trash removal
This is the 2nd of 3 eclipses in a row. There was a New Moon Solar eclipse on June 1st, this is a Full Moon Lunar eclipse, followed by another New Moon Solar eclipse on July 1st. A series of eclipses herald a time of shifts and re-orientations as we reboot and realign with truths revealed and consciousness shifting.
Evidence of the shifts will unfold over the coming months.
During a lunar eclipse the Moon crosses the shadow the Earth casts as the Earth moves between the Moon and the Sun. An excellent and powerful time to allow buried emotions and memories to surface, revealing the motivators and obstacles to your forward movement and personal evolution. It’s like a super duper deep refrigerator cleaning. There’s stuff in there whose time of service is up. Throw it out. Get rid of it. Clean the shelves to leave a fresh and renewed storage area. The psyche is similar to a packed refrigerator. There’s all kinds of crap in there, much of which is not needed at all anymore ( and maybe never was).
Full Moons are times of RELEASE and no more powerful Full Moon than a lunar eclipse. Take advantage of this portal of trash removal. It’s like your town just gave notice that it will pick up FOR FREE everything you no longer want or need in your abode. Get it out on the street because, I promise you, once it’s gone, you will never give it another thought.
Speaking of THOUGHTS – this FULL Moon eclipse on the Gemini-Sagittarius axis is all about THOUGHTS and the power of the mind.
Gemini collects data, information, conversation and runs it through the curious, versatile, mercurial mind. It’s a lot of busyness and not always a whole lot of substance. Sagittarius is on the endless quest for TRUTH. We know that journey never ends but it’s an interesting journey, at the very least. Sagittarius takes the accumulated data and fashions a a world view from that. Be aware from where you collect your data because that will directly impact your world view. Chew on that
Consider this: If you are assembling data from the emotional realm and the unconscious drives of your psyche with no awareness of the source then you are creating a skewed world view that just might not be working in your favor. Use this Full Moon Lunar Eclipse to release psychic debris from your consciousness so your world view and big picture philosophy is more aligned with a clearer, more true perception of YOU.
Now go and have fun with that!
Keep your hankies handy
Emotional days as we lead up to the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on the Gemini-Sagittarius axis.
Where that axis falls in your own chart is where you will see the emotional clearing out be most significant.
As I was driving away from chatting with a friend about her and her husband’s imminent adoption of an 8-year old boy from Ethiopia I heard Terry Gross on NPR interviewing the creators of Toy Story 3. They played the part where the toys are freaking out because they know things are changing and they fear for their destiny. Andy is going off to college and where will the toys end up? Abandonment, fear, panic, free-floating anxiety, and having to completely surrender to some unknown outcome. It’s part of life, and personally, I think the hardest part. Especially the surrender part. Surrender and trust.
I am thinking of that little boy and his unknown destiny. I just finished reading Abraham Verghese’s heartbreakingly beautiful novel Cutting for Stone, which takes place mostly in Addis Abbaba, Ethiopia. I feel like I have been crying for weeks.
The NPR interview had me bawling so hard I had to pull over.
How can we ever truly be abandoned if we are all divine sparks of the universe? And if that is true, how come we feel abandoned so easily? All these issues are up with this powerful Full Moon Lunar eclipse on June 15th. A potent time to bring deep memories and buried feelings to the light to be released.
Keep your hankies ready. You’ll be needing them this week.
And when the crying stills watch something FUNNY (that’s even more important than crying)

Priestess TV gets a facelift
Probably my own face could use a little ‘work’ but in typical entrepreneurial fashion it’s my website that’s getting the facelift. PriestessTV is now WOMAN TALK TV. Though I completely resonate with the word PRIESTESS, as it is part of my soul archetype, for those who don’t resonate with that archetype and who might have negative associations with the word, I am shifting the name (not the focus) to reach more poeple and have them feel welcome on the site.
The path not yet taken but so inviting.
My goal in creating these interviews with extraordinary ordinary women is to share the stories of women’s journeys in business and the business of life for inspiration and encouragement for each of us. With this encouragement we have receive support and guidance on the path not yet taken but so inviting. LOTS more to come!
Venus in Gemini, Moon in Libra
Venus enters butterfly-in-the-garden Gemini. Little delights – a passing flirtation, some snappy repartee, fulfills the Venus in Gemini’s desire for versatility and clever conversation.
Ms. Moon enters harmony-loving Libra. Conversations and exchanges take on an air of grace and mutual receptivity. Libra also encourages you to see all sides of a story. This skill comes in handy as you delve into the mysterious realm of the psyche where you might uncover parts of the story you didn’t even know were there!
Moon in Virgo…getting down to details
Ms. Moon enters practical Virgo. With this lunar placement and Virgo’s ruling planet Mercury trining serious Saturn you will be able to accurately see what needs to be done NOW to move you closer to where you want to be in the future OVER THERE. Remember: change happens in the present moment but it is in the future that the change initiated in the present is felt and appreciated. Got that?
Ms. Moon in Virgo trines Jupiter in Taurus giving you the wide-angle viewpoint. Watch for a lunar opposition to Neptune which heaves a dose of fantasy into the mix. Use the Virgo discernment to determine what is real and what is a flight of fancy. If you use the Mercury trine Saturn well you will be able to most beautifully weave together the perfect world of seeing how to bring your dreams into reality. Now who doesn’t like that? They say that all time is simultaneous but I’m always trying to get my head around that.
Jupiter makes for an upbeat start to the week
You awaken on Monday with an excessive amount of optimism as Jupiter semi-squares the Sun. OK, now what is too much optimism? Too much optimism is like thinking you will not gain an ounce by consuming an entire chocolate mousse cake just because you desire it. Jupiter, now fully ensconced in Taurus, will be tempting you with all kinds of delicious treats for your sensual enjoyment. It’s suggested that you stay optimistic and realistic, all at the same time. A pretty enthusiastic day all around with
Ms. Moon in dramatic, big-hearted Leo. By bedtime a creative quintile between the Sun and inventive Uranus can open up all kinds of creative problem-solving for problems that just seem dang hard to resolve. Don’t forget to ask the questions that need to be asked.
Priestess welcomes Jupiter in Taurus with appropriate decadence
I can’t think of any combination more dangerous for the bulging waistline than Jupiter in Taurus. I had a few people over for dinner the eve as Jupiter entered Taurus and someone brought over the cake that I would request on death row as the very last thing I would like to taste as I left the planet. It used to be eggplant parmigiana but this chocolate mousse cake from Whole Foods just blew that eggplant right out of the picture. I could have done without the chocolate dipped strawberries. Overkill, if you ask me, and, as a chocolate purist, I can’t abide mixing fruit and the sacred chocolate. I still have a piece in the freezer which I thought would last me a few days. Who am I kidding? I hear it calling my name right now and I must heed the call.
I mean, REALLY!
Jupiter in Taurus is deadly for a chocoholic. I will have to use the upcoming station of Saturn to get my cocoa-filled cells over to the dance studio and work this off. Two such wildly enjoyable Jupiter in Taurus experiences: a hefty piece of chocolate mousse cake followed by some tribal stomp dancing at my favorite dance studio, Alchemy of Movement. I can only hope that the alchemy is working overtime to turn chocolate into something more desirable than fat, like money. Thank God I don’t have Jupiter in Taurus in my birth chart. I would be fat as a house. I only have to contend with my lust for delicious foods for a year every 12 years. I have enough loose pants and sarongs to see me through this visit of Jupiter to the sign of sensual delights. But it’s only been 2 days and I’m already a little panicked. Maybe I should invest in a lock for the refrigerator and lose the key.
One step forward, two steps back
A girlfriend came over yesterday afternoon to play. We were planning on cutting out pictures from magazines to create vision boards – dream boards of what we want to see our lives look like. It was the first superduper HOT day in Boulder and after a hour of magazine flipping and nibbling on muffins and watermelon, we both felt like we were heading off into the land of faerie. That’s when you feel like you’re dream-walking through time and the edges of perception start to blur. That’s Neptune retrograde. Blurred edges. Time warp. Perception morphs to dreamtime. 5 more months of this, on and off.
We got to talking about what we wanted for our lives as compared to the reality of what it is presently. It was a little hard to swallow that we created our present reality just as we were planning on creating the future reality. If that is really so (which it is! it is!) it seems we have to be way clearer and more consciously aware of our choices to bring in more of what we truly desire. See it. Feel it. And then relax as the new vision takes form.
This is part of the morphing of the grid of consciousness that is happening at warp speed right now. We just had the first of 3 eclipses, which create the opening for the morphing to occur rapidly. I think seatbelts are required for this leg of the journey.
Or as I have heard say: Show up. Tell the truth. Trust God. Let go of the outcome.
I chew on that daily.
Winter Solstice Lunar Eclipse blow-out
After putting myself to bed at 9pm on Monday night I set my internal clock to wake me up at 1:15am. I tried to set the clock alarm clock but with Mercury retrograde I couldn’t figure it out and also I never trust clock alarms. I awoke at exactly 1:15am (How amazing are our bodies?!), jumped out of bed and saw the moon just beginning to turn red. When I went to sleep the sky had been clouded over but in the wee hours over Boulder, Colorado the skies were crisp and clear, star-studded backdrop to this fantastic event, the likes of which have not been witnessed since the year 1658. That’s right. You heard me correctly. The last time the Winter Solstice coincided with a Lunar eclipse was in the year 1658.
And you know who was busy changing our entire perception of the Universe in the year 1658? None other that the rebel scientist/wizard, Galileo. Well actually Galileo died in 1642, leaving the world with the invention of the telescope. So, for that momentous eclipse/Solstice, for the first time ever, humans could watch the event through magnification and clarification. No surprise that Galileo was an Aquarian, born on February 5, 1564. And, in typical Aquarian form he rocked the world with his visionary inventions. And MANY were freaked out!
I watched the eclipse for a good hour from my hot tub in the back yard. I think I overdosed with the intense vibrations because yesterday all I could do was stay in bed with a very trashy Dominick Dunne novel and my two Smooth fox terriers.
If you didn’t catch the eclipse or want to see a beautiful video another amazing Aquarian, Bill Kennedy, made of the eclipse as seen through his skylight in South Denver accompanied by the best Moody Blues back-up click on

We’re still in the energy of this HUGE transformational. vibrational shift.
Use it well.
