I don’t know about everyone else but the shift of the new year and decade in Gregorian calendar has been intense to put it lightly. Intuitively I’ve noticed a lot of people are either sick right now, hermiting themselves, or making huge promises of “new year, new me.” All these responses are ok; however it is the dead of winter right now in the northern hemisphere, and it’s ok the rest, hibernate, and be in seclusion. With that said, perhaps it’s time to pay attention to what we can release, cleanse, and remove from our spaces, body, minds, and spirits in order to

For those of you who have been following my astrological overviews in recent months, now is the moment I have been preaching about. For months those of us in the spiritual and astrology community have been anticipating a rare astrological event that's about to take place. This Eclipse marks (in some ways) the end of cycles, but only the beginning in what is to be six to twelve months of some massive energy shifts. What we are calling this is the Saturn Pluto Conjunction of 2020. In astrology, when heavy-hitting outer planets come together, this is an omen of

This New Year is a force to be reckoned with. For this of you who have read my previous monthly overviews, this is the period of the super conjunctions I spoke of. Astrologers have spent the better part of the last few years studying and lecturing on this month's Saturn Pluto conjunction in Capricorn. This is an astrological event that takes place roughly every thirty-four years. Saturn in Capricorn favors those who put in the work and doesn't cut any corners. Pluto is in it to slowly break down anything and everything for the sake of rebirth. When you put these to bad boys together, we see some transformative, and often challenging events that produce nothing but soul growth....

What more could you ask for this holiday season? This is an incredibly joyous New Moon, Partial Solar Eclipse in Capricorn. This particular Eclipse is another in a series of eclipses that have been taking place since January of 2019, nearly one year ago. Think back to what may have developed since then. As with all eclipses, this represents a cosmic portal in time where some things come, and others go. It's important to be exceptionally patient, and in this one's case, optimistic. It doesn't quite have the doom and gloom feeling that some astrologers attach to eclipses...

Understanding Capricorn energies can also be related to Scrooge character in A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens or the wise woman or man. It’s the serious sign of the zodiac that can take time to loosen its grip on judgment and skepticism and invites us into the wisdom of time. Those born with Sun or Moon signs in Capricorn can become lighter as they get older and understand its gifts of slowing down and solitude. In its most wise expression with Capricorn, we feel stability and security in ourselves and the world around us. It connects us to...

Mojo bags are from Black American hoodoo culture and can be used for a wide variety of intentions including but not limited to protection, love, and good luck. Contrary to popular belief, Hoodoo is a sacred practice that blends many ancient African religions. In short, it is what many enslaved Africans in the Americas and the Caribbean practiced after they were stolen from their land. This tradition runs deep in my Ancestry and I’m happy to share with you how to create your own mojo bag for this month’s theme of protection.

This is one of those Full Moons that has more to it than what meets the eye. As an astrologer, this is known as the "Cold Moon," and I'm really beginning to see why. When Gemini really gets to the depths of its core traits, it can be cold and calculating. Detached, and seeking only facts or information. But this isn't why I am connecting this to being a "Cold Moon." While Gemini's usual behavior is chatty and happy go lucky, the aspects between Pluto/ Saturn/ and Venus make this lunation extra, chilly. Venus is moving into a tight conjunction with Pluto in Capricorn.

This month sure is action-packed. Expect this to be a Holiday season for the books my friends. The month begins with Jupiter making his annual move into to a new sign. Jupiter is the planet of abundance and optimism. Generally, Jupiter magnifies whatever it touches, and in Capricorn, it will be interesting. Generally speaking, Jupiter in Capricorn is considered to be in it’s "fall," or not necessarily at it's best. However, we're gearing up from December 2019- February 2020 to have a whole slew of planets in Capricorn.

True gratitude isn’t about exchange, or a power imbalance. It’s about love, pleasure, and appreciation. Gratitude occurs in relationships of mutual respect, for gifts freely given. Whatever you experience in life that feels truly good, was given to you freely, out of love and respect. Even in the cases where it’s something you did for yourself...

This is probably one of my favorite New Moon's in all of 2019. It’s a beautiful and optimistic New Moon in the mutable sign of Sagittarius. I expect a great deal of you will benefit from its blessings in the coming weeks ahead. This will be THE time to practice optimism and release any fears, especially when it comes to learning to see the silver lining. Sagittarius rules the areas of the higher mind, connection to our beliefs or other cultures. Many of you will be choosing happiness at the time of the New Moon. Sagittarius is known for it's generous and comedic nature, so learn to roll with the punches and step outside of your comfort zone.

As a mutable sign, Sagittarius helps us evolve and adapt through expanding our horizons through travel, philosophy, or extroversion and meeting new people. A sign known for its big-hearted hearted and humanitarian ways, Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius craves abundance in all its forms. It wants us to go big or go home and have our cake and eat it too.

I understand that sometimes Ancestral work brings up fear for many people. We all have ancestors that weren’t kind people when there were alive. We may have even suffered great traumas due to their actions or inactions. However this doesn’t negate the fact that they are still our family. Often times when a spirit passes, they see the cause and affect of their actions and feel painful regret — hoping that someone will be compassionate enough to forgive them after enough time and (hopefully!) therapy has passed. Another blockage people encounter with ancestor work is they think that because they don’t know much about their ancestors, they cannot connect with them.
