This Chariot Ride
** *actual footage of you rising up and out from the eclipse basin ———————————————————— Well… THAT happened?! This particular eclipse window has been wildly activating for me. How about you? Some serious PORTAL energy. Let’s break it down: To the ancients, eclipses were a Big F Deal. The Sun and the Moon are the two luminaries. With an eclipse, the light of one of the luminaries get blocked out. The world isn’t the same in the aftershock. Eclipses happen when the paths of the elliptic for both luminaries meet exactly. In astro terms, we call these points “the nodes.” The nodes are described in Vedic astrology as the Head (north node, known as Rahu) and the tail (south node, known…
The Case for Clear Requests
** Mercury Retrograde: July 7 – 31 ———————————————————— Quick Astro Lesson: When a planet is “retrograde,” it appears to be going backwards from the perspective of Earth. To the Ancients, this was a Big Deal. That meant that it was a time when we need to slow down and consider our relationship with that particular planetary archetype. How are we doing with that part of our psychic space? What patterns and behaviors need our noticing so that we can shift into more skillful expressions of that archetype? We have a lot of planets retrograde right now, and Mercury just shifted on the 7th. Mercury does this 3 times a year, and it’s a notable time for tech glitches and misunderstood…
You don't really believe in that, do you?
Dear reader, Let us feel into a truth together: Why is it that we are not taught to tune in to and trust our intuition as children and, especially, as adolescents? What do you know in your deepest deepest heart is true here? If we learned to always trust our inner knowing, our truth, the synchronicities from the Universe, the gentle nudge from the unseen realm urging us towards our psychic senses, THEN WE COULD NOT BE SO EASILY CONTROLLED. Rather, we are taught to be “good” and “rational,” which is code for docility, submission, and rule-following. Our intuition comes from a liminal space outside of the hierarchies and structures of Culture, Government, Family, and Religion. None of these four…
Don't Let Go: Poltergeist + the Full Moon in Scorpio
View this email in your browser (*|ARCHIVE|*) http://www.workingwithyourwheel.com THE PAST IS HERE FOR SPRING CLEANING https://www.workingwithyourwheel.com/blog-1 Hey guys! I’m excited to share a little video I made for the astrology of the coming two weeks. In it, I focus primarily on the energies of the Full Moon in Scorpio, which is happening this Saturday, May 18, at 4:11 PM CST. In the video, I posit and argue that the polarity between Sun in Taurus opposite Moon in Scorpio is like the great 1980s film Poltergeist, story by Steven Spielberg. Have you seen it recently? It’s amazing! One of my all-time favorites as a kid.

The gift of noticing
** The gift of noticing… ———————————————————— We live in a world of automated time. This was one of the most radical shifts that occurred with the Industrial Revolution. It was train travel that made this a requirement, in the first half of the 19th century with the invention of the steam engine. Now time itself had to become as standardized as the products produced in factories. By @joewebbart Before, I didn’t reflect much about how my own life had become standardized. Intellectually, I knew it. I taught courses in Modern Art, and a huge part of Modernism is the relationship between visual culture and the technologies of modernization. I laughed knowingly when, in Downton Abbey, Maggie Smith’s aristocratic character asks:…
⛏️ Through the Fear ⛏️
** The way to change is through the fear… ———————————————————— At the last full moon, on the first day of Aries, I sent out a newsletter with a potent ritual for calling in balance to relationships. You can find it here (https://mailchi.mp/a529a0544c15/after-winter-spring-always-comes) . Did you try it? I would love to hear from you about how it’s going. In it, I suggested you take four sheets of paper, noting your Gratitudes for what is working in relationships, your Dreams for better balance in relationships, the Mindset Changes you’ll need to shift, and then Action Steps to take to make it manifest. I tucked my papers under my mattress and am now ready to recognize the wild floodgates of change I…

🌊 Night Swimming 🌊
** New Moon in Pisces: Night Swimming ———————————————————— Pisces Moon feels from Daria Hlazatova (https://www.instagram.com/dariahlazatova/) . It is a time for night swimming in our own waters. Today is the New Moon. Whenever we have one, that means the Sun and the Moon are together in the skies in the same sign. To the ancients, the Sun and the Moon were the two luminaries of our soul: the Sun representing our conscious self, the Moon representing our subconscious, hidden self. Because we are all of the signs, we have the opportunity each cycle, at the time of the New Moon, to connect with the conscious and subconscious part of us that is the sign energy of that particular season. Today,…
Your Intuitive Life
** Resources for deepening your intuitive life ———————————————————— Dear reader, If you ask me what primary field of work I’m in, I would not necessarily say Astrology. I am in what is known as Intuitive Healing. What is that? Intuitive Healing concerns all modalities that encourage the development of our intuition. We do this in order to connect with our own information, our deep listening, as well as to intuit the physical and psychic health of our energetic fields and chakra nodes. At the center of Intuitive Healing work is a strong meditation practice built around grounding into a still center for hearing deep, even ancient, wisdom. Astrology is a discipline that overlaps with many intuitive frameworks for self-inquiry. Astrology…
The Moon is a Magnifying Glass
** FULL SUPERMOON IN VIRGO Tuesday, February 19th at 9:53 AM CST ———————————————————— In this email, I share how the Virgo-Pisces balance, which is what we’re in now with the Full Moon, can be deeply healing and transformative for us. But first, because I have a lot of new readers (hi!), I want to reiterate some things I say a lot as well as briefly clarify what I do. Astrology is not a belief system, and as such, should not conflict with your spiritual preferences. Astrology is a symbolic language for self-understanding. It is exquisitely designed. It is poetic. And it is empowering. Also true: We don’t have to have astrology to tell us about ourselves. We can feel and…
