Walking between the Worlds

This past week offered a feeling like walking between worlds. As you most likely know, Mercury and Venus are both retrograde. These retrogrades, particularly Mercury retrogrades offer a quality of exploring the liminal, and I love these times for deeper reflections, enhanced dreamtime, and a slower pace that allows the opportunity to create more awareness around the spells we weave, particularly through our speech.

Collectively we just experienced the first Full Moon of 2022, a Cancer Cold Full Wolf Hunger Moon that opposed Pluto in Capricorn, stirring up the dredges of the Saturn Pluto conjunction in 2020 that initiated the COVID-19 pandemic. On Tuesday, the True North Node entered Taurus and Uranus in Taurus stationed direct, meanwhile the Sun entered Aquarius on Wednesday. I spoke of all of this in my latest pod 'Meet me in the Liminal', and I hope you will consider tuning in. Believe it or not, I hear from a number of listeners that they listen to these episodes not once, or twice, but sometimes three or four times. This is not your average astrology podcast.

As I am finishing a 15,000 word dissertation to complete my four year journey to receive a MA in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology, the realm of the liminal has been outstandingly experienced. It's been nearly impossible for me to juggle this massive writing project with social media and my patreon offerings, so thank you for your patience.

Witnessing astrology is so far from the New Age craft that pop culture broadcasts, as it is actually an ancient practice that our human ancestors have practiced since the birth of Mesopotamian culture. I am so looking forward to geeking out with some of you later this year when my first astrology course is birthed, so please be on the lookout for that come early Spring!

This upcoming week Mars enters one of his beloved placements in Capricorn on Monday 24th of January. Our collective way of energy is looking to build strong foundations that truly go the distance. On Tuesday 25th of January the Moon enters the Last Quarter phase of reflection in penetrating Scorpio and dissolving as Mercury traces back into the sign of Capricorn.

Given Mars's ingress into Capricorn, Uranus direct and the North Node in the same sign as Uranus, we will begin to notice a collective momentum that picks up the pace. With the recent 5G roll-out and the planetary alignments of our current times, it is imperative we take care of our nervous systems this year. 2022 is going to be a massively important year for soul growth. So much potential is available to each of us. Some people think it will be an easier year than 2021, however a complexity to the matters at hand will only increase. As this complexity amps up, opportunities abound for the collective psyches' expansion.

I look forward to sharing more with you about the astrology of this year in the upcoming 2022 Masterclass. This Masterclass coincides with the Aquarius New Moon Lunar Imbolc, and we will cover much ground on how to aptly prepare for the transits to come. Also, if you live in Appalachia, please consider circling up for the Aquarius Dark Moon Women's Wisdom gathering on Moonday, 31st of January.

Considering all that has been shared, and the feedback I've received from some of you, a kundalini based yogic community will be reemerging locally here in AVL, with a virtual option for those of you from afar, seeking a practice. Please stay tuned to my latest offering for a yogic experience where you may deeply nourish your nervous system and bring holism to all of your bodies.

Liminal Blessings,
