Transpersonal Take on Coronavirus

Covid is an interesting partner because it’s so wacky, unpredictable, and changeable…

I finally got the golden ticket this Jul via my lover’s holiday party, and it’s been like a substantial flu. I haven’t been sick since November 2019. However, I discover that my experience with (temporarily) debilitating illness has changed significantly in ways that might be useful to you, so I’m going on a wander. Got your handkerchief and jacket? Come along!

Capricorn New Moon 2022 [Astro Weather]

Do you like playing tug of war and disrupting highly ordered organizations, rules, and programs? This lunar cycle has a strong organized vibe that is serious about social order and transformation. Many of us will feel more ambitious in our birth charts’ houses that contain Capricorn.

Business and personal relationships carry the somber tone, but there are several energies that have disruptive effects. If you’re the serious planned type, you may be irritated by people whom you may judge as “irresponsible” because they are acting completely outside plan. As much as some of us dislike this, it is the month to overcome ourselves and to consider the spontaneous.

Our ways of initiating things and asserting ourselves are off-kilter, so if you feel that you or people you know tend to blunder or have foot-in-mouth disease, be patient. We need to be open to doing things in new ways because established ways tend not to work. Implementing highly structured, planned initiatives is fraught with things that disrupt, but, paradoxically, many of these things are strokes of genius.

All of us carry smoldering deep emotions that we have suppressed, and these feelings seek expression, especially in the area of family affairs. You may find yourself in emotional struggles with neighbors or family members.

Romantic energy is conservative and aloof, and the best way to connect with potential partners is to be serious and sincere.

All in all, it’s a trying month for patience! Read on for your detailed guide!..

Subtle Transformational Way to Experience the Self

Many of us spend a lot of energy trying to control ourselves…

In The Six People in Every Couple, I wrote about how we can transform relationships by rejecting the common social idea that a person is a defined being. This social idea asserts that a person acts a certain way, has such and such traits and will have expected behaviors. Think about that for a second; this idea holds that we are statues. A better metaphor, for me at least, is a river because my feelings, thoughts, and actions are always changing. And transits have a huge effect on me. 

Many people prefer to have these definitions imposed on them; it is our natural state to have the social groups around us impose limits. However, you or someone you care about may prefer to act with more choice and freedom. The subject of this post is how we tend to impose such limits on our selves without knowing it: we also tend to think of ourselves as acting in certain ways, so we end up squelching many of the choices that are open to us. 

I’ll also share how transits reveal that we are more like the weather than defined beings in defined emotional states. If this sounds interesting, come along as we explore it and discover where it leads!

Love and Space

There are many ways we can say “I love you” to our lover, spouse, or friend, and the strongest expressions don’t involve words or material gifts. Our most powerful communications are actions, not words, which are mental artifacts. “Actions speak louder than words.” Actions are the language of the Limbic system and Reptilian brain.

When you are in a love relationship, be it 5th house or 7th house, you can say, “I love you” most poignantly by giving your other space in which s/he can experience her/himself. You may find this a bit odd, but bear with me as we hike into a mysterious part of the forest…
