My heart is so heavy. As many of you know, my family and I are based in Western North Carolina, in the Blue Ridge Mountains we dearly love. I have been here for 15 years. These mountains and our community have raised me up in young adulthood and motherhood. I am eternally grateful. My soul is of this soil.
Though my home was fortunately spared from severe damage, we watched as our creek rose 15 feet within a few hours and our neighbors houses were submerged. We were without power for 5 days and in a complete communication blackout that still persists. The lack of communication is the most challenging part of this crisis (in addition to widespread lack of drinking water, food, fuel, basic necessities). Five towns near us are a total and complete loss...
The title of the Lunar Eclipse in Pisces was "A Proverbial Flood". As I shared in my Eclipse class two weeks ago, that Eclipse started a 20-month period that will bring waters into focus the world over.
I will now reveal that back in June, I decided to name the 2025 astrological calendar "Immersion" as the theme for the year...
Every culture in known history has flood myths preceding a massive rebirth. As heartbreaking, devastating, and grievous as this is, I believe it is also a time that can cleanse our inner and outer worlds. The swell of love I feel alongside the intense overwhelming loss is angelic in quality...
The 2025 astrology, to me, is hyper archetypal and biblical in tenor...
The New Moon in Libra (exact on October 2 at 14:49 ET) is an Annular Solar Eclipse (exact on October 2 at 14:46 ET). This Solar Eclipse is a reset through unity. A new beginning begotten through ending false separation.
I titled this Eclipse "Renew Your Vows" in the 2024 Cosmic Calendar.
Libra—the sign of balance, harmony, and justice—invites us to reflect on our relationships and the agreements we’ve made with ourselves and others.
Under this Eclipse, we’re given an opportunity to revisit and renew these sacred promises.
What promises do you want to reaffirm? What agreements need rewriting?
Review what you have consented to. What you have compromised. What you have accommodated.
This moment signifies a renewal of relating in the personal, social, political, and aesthetic realms.
The first Solar Eclipse in Libra in the current cycle occurred on October 14, 2023. This signified a major change in the global balance of power as tenuously peaceful relations erupted in conflict and shifted political landscapes near and far.
Now we are faced with even more questions about negotiations, justice, conflict, and compromise. We face new challenges and new opportunities to join together.
As the crisis is unfolding, we the people on the ground are coming together in every way we can. Particularly as political forces try to force and fabricate division, it is our UNITY and SHARING and MUTUAL AID that keeps us alive and strong.
The waters are flowing. WE are the waves.
Let your care and love for your children, neighbors, beloveds, and communities motivate your actions. Turn your energy to these relationships; they are what is real.
