Full Moon in Pisces/ Autumn Equinox

Image
Even though it's technically still summer, I've already enjoyed my woodburning stove this week. Felt a little like jumping the gun...but we had a few chilly nights this September. Rumor has it we are coming into warmer weather for the rest of this full moon phase. This Big Pretty Pisces Moon brings us all more psychic ability . It's a great time to do some fire or water divination, shamanic journeys, meditation, consult an oracle give or get a tarot reading . It's also the perfect time to indulge in a little fantasy..or maybe just read about one. We've still got a few more days under the Virgo Sun , so get your "virgo-ey" stuff done (organizing, systemizing, perfecting, cleaning, attending to details etc.) before we head into Libra and the Autumn Equinox . Then balance and beauty becomes in the forefromt of everything we do. art: boris vallejo See where Libra is in your chart and know that these will be the places where your life will be a...

Prayer to the Goddess

Dear Goddess, It's me, Jessamina. I am completely shocked that I scrambled out of the Pre-K classroom with a lump in my throat. Tears?..no. you know I didn't! (ok, almost) But as you know, I fumbled when I kissed my little one and made a lipstick mark on his cheek... His wide-eyed look astonished me too. I'm going. Home. By. My...Self. This is the first time I don't have a baby to cuddle. I spaced the children 3.5 years apart, I always looked forward to some "alone time with the baby" when each of my guys started school.... I never expected to feel so empty today. Please help me Goddess... Why do I resist the very thing I've longed to have for 12 years? Just a bit of PEACE. Quiet solitude..to be alone with my thoughts, for just a bit? I'm the woman who stategically carved out time for togetherness with other goddess-women. Mapped out ways to honor you, embody you, while handling the needs of my house of boys and husband.  Always seemi...

The sun and the Moon are both in Leo! What's this mean? Go get your astrology chart and see what house(s) Leo is in for extra insights as to what areas of your life will likely be affected in the next few days. In general, this is a window of opportunity for: More Fire.... More fire for what you need to get done. More Fire for Daydreaming your best possible future More fire for wild creativity More fire for hot sex More fire for speaking your truth. More fire for finally taking action on "that thing". More fire for making things radiant. Leo is playful, fun, and warm. You'll be able to channel that energy more easily right now. Leo is generous. This conjunction makes it easier to give in areas where you've felt stingy before. Leo is expansive..a bit of a show off too...where have you been hiding out, anyway? Leo is royalty.  Claim your crown! Serve your people! Dress Fantastically!

Giving Form to the Formless

As I sit here on my bed, softly supporting me, clicking away on the keys.. I'm pondering the wisdom of my body. The selfless, genius inside all of my cells. How do you prompt me to eat that banana, the edamame, the three strawberries?.. It feels different than the prompting to eat those 2 mint cookies. No matter, it all matters. This body figured out what to do with all of it. I am grateful for your wisdom. I heard a piece of music today, that coincidentally (???HA!) I like to use in my Movement class. I was elated to hear it "out of the blue" and instantly rose up and danced. Eyes closed..being thankful again for the wisdom of the body. How many intricate tasks involving muscle, tendon, sinew, neurons, electric impulses, breath, and more were performed as I shimmied, swayed, popped/locked, and swirled my hips..How my hands got to play too, moving in their own dance, to the secondary rhythm..The smile on my face, as I connected back in time..(or was it the f...

My Husband has lots of them. 4. I don't have any tattoos! My Husband loves my "milky-white skin", go figure! 5. In my early 20s I owned an orange Harley.

I have a special tree-friend.. He's the strong, silent type. 8. I have very vivid dreams, and I'm not always myself in my dreams. 9. I gave up coffee. and gluten. and sugar. and dairy. 10.
