Sunday Poetry for a Venus/Pluto dance

photo by me

A challenging square from Venus to Pluto has been building all week, have you felt it? Venus in Libra, longing for harmony and connection, antagonized by Pluto’s need to strip away artifice and the niceness which Libra craves. That square aspect peaks today and offers an opportunity to face those hard truths and still hold onto the beauty. This poem speaks perfectly to that tension and I hope you enjoy it! 💖


“Being alive,
it seems,
means learning to bear the weight of the passing of all things.

It means […]

Sunday inspiration from Albert Einstein for this Gemini Full Moon

artist unknown?

The Gemini Full Moon culminates tomorrow (November 27th) at 4:16 am EST/9:16 am UTC.  You may know that the Full Moon is the midpoint of the lunar cycle which waxes and wanes each month in the dance between Sun and Moon, stirring the ocean tides and the tides of our own emotions.

The Full Moon takes us through the experiences of the zodiac just as the Sun does, but the Moon is opposite the Sun when it is full and we have an opportunity to balance the zodiacal polarities. […]

Sunday inspiration for the Mars Cazimi

Cazimi occurs when a planet is within a degree of the Sun, and that is the situation this weekend. Mars and the Sun, both in Mars-ruled Scorpio, have been within a degree of each other since last Wednesday and the exact conjunction occurred very early Saturday morning EST. We still have a few days of this fiery alignment but so far rumors of disaster have not come to pass. 

These fiery planetary alignments can inspire and energize us, especially in Scorpio where we are driven to seek Truth in everything we do; to delve into experiences that offer real meaning and […]

Sunday inspiration: The path of descent at the Scorpio New Moon

Tomorrow’s Scorpio New Moon offers an opportunity to delve into a deeper state of being and learn what is true beyond the fluff of every day life. This is my path right now (here’s an update on my sabbatical if you missed it!) and I found this piece to be inspirational in keeping me on the path of awakening. 💖


A growing down so often necessitates a “sinking to the depths.” If we do not consciously choose the journey, the journey will choose us on its own. […]

Sunday poetry: Can you feel it?

art by Helga Joy

In honor of the big transits that are happening in my own chart right now (details at the bottom of the post) and my own inner explorations, I offer this beautiful piece of inspiration to let go of blocks and anxieties that keep us locked in a prison of our own story and help us convert this prison into a prism of possibilities. 💖


Can you feel it?

Life breaking through inside us like an undeniable rising tide of wild brilliance and truth..

Asking us to wake up […]

Sunday inspiration: Reach in the direction of your heart’s calling

artist unknown?

Over the next few days Mars in Virgo opposes Neptune, the planet of transcendent creativity, imagination and the truth that stretches beyond that which is known. Mars in Virgo is more crafty; it seeks order and purpose, so this is a complicated planetary combination that asks us to reach outside of our comfort zone in order to find a structure within which magic can happen.

I first found this as a little meme on Instagram, but the whole piece is quite beautiful and really speaks to this stretch […]

Sunday poetry: May your trails be winding and full of wonder

Over the next few days the North Node, the point which marks the gatepost to the future, will connect with the new planet Eris named for the Goddess of Discord. Eris and Pluto have been in a square aspect since January 2020 and I think we can all agree that the last three years have been fairly discordant. 

In honor of the transformation that creative chaos can bring, I offer this poem. The predictable offers a sense of safety and security and the comfort of knowing what comes next, but the discordant aspects of life have the potential […]

Sunday inspiration for Mars & Mercury in Virgo: The perfect morning

I love learning about the morning routines of different people and over the last few years I’ve been reading and watching videos about different morning routines and trying some things on to see how they work for me. One thing I’ve learned is that although there is no such thing as a perfect morning, there are certain habits that do set me up for a great day and if I miss them I can really tell the difference.

Mars has been in Virgo for a couple of weeks and was joined […]

Sunday inspiration for Venus retrograde

photo from Advanced Style

Venus turned retrograde in Leo yesterday making this the perfect poem for today’s inspiration post. We think of Venus as representing relationships and love, and that is certainly true, but Venus also is related to our self-esteem. That is especially true in Leo, the sign which encourages us to find the best version of ourselves – the one we can be proud of and feel good about. 

As Venus travels retrograde (until September 3rd) we will likely be thinking of broken connections […]

Sunday Inspiration: The sacred dance of life

With Mars at the last degree of Leo and Venus right behind, let’s summon all the gusto we can over these next few days. 💖



I sometimes forget
that I was created for Joy.
My mind is too busy.

My Heart is too heavy
for me to remember
that I have been
called to dance
the Sacred dance of life.

I was created to smile
To Love
To be lifted up
And to lift others up.

O’ […]
