Re-Feminist History (aka Bitchstory)

Overall this week may be a little quieter than we’ve had for several weeks, but not without some minor challenges to your patience. Mercury enters Sagittarius, joining the sun. This boosts our feelings of overall well being, hope and optimism. Neptune has been a strong player in the last couple weeks, and is this week as well. It’s a week to take a deep breath and do things that bring you pleasure and joy. It will be helpful if you can just focus on yourself, because things may feel awkward and out of sync with the people around you. Nerves may be jittery for no apparent reason. It’s time to pull back and cruise - bake, make lists, watch movies, take it easy, even if you feel like you can’t possibly. It is not a good week to try to plan everything or figure things out. It is a good week to daydream. In order for Sagittarius’ optimism to reach you, you’ll need to clear some space in your head. Meditation and general relaxation are the prescription for the week. 11/30 Full Moon...

BitchScopes for November 23-30 (Note: generally Bitchscopes are for a Monday through Sunday period. The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is on Monday the 30th, and it is included in this week’s so you can fully utilize and be aware of its offerings and energy.) Mercury is a busy bee this week. With the sun now in Sagittarius, you’d be well served to direct your thoughts to your beliefs. Specifically, what do you believe about your self? One of the benefits of knowing what is coming up astrologically is the ability to utilize that energy to your highest benefit, so here you go. Spend time thinking and writing about what you believe about yourself. What do you want? Do you even know? Strip away the thoughts and beliefs of all the people around you and get to the heart of it...what do YOU want? Out of life? Out of relationship? Out of a job? Out of parenthood? Out of your food? Whatever! That’s exactly what this Full Moon Lunar Eclipse can help you uncover and achieve: alignment with your hear...

The outer planets are a bit calmer this week, but the personal planets might get us in a little trouble if we aren’t careful. Mars has just moved direct (last weekend on the 14th) so it isn’t moving full speed yet, and things we have bottled up or not been able to find the words for may come flying out at the wrong time. Personal relationships can intensify, both in good and bad ways. Jealousy may pop up. A little jealousy is not a bad thing...you’ll know when the threshold has been crossed. It may feel like relationships are more work than usual. We may feel a bit put upon in general, like life is all work and no play. The good news is that hard work will yield results, and we will feel more optimistic about working to achieve goals now than we have in a while. However...optimism may not find its partner, motivation, ready to actually DO much work. You may have to push yourself a bit. Watch that you have a filter between your brain and your mouth. And keep your feelings of je...

Holy Cosmos, Batwoman! There is a lot going on in the skies this week! Wow! This week is a big, shiny invitation to really do some self examination as it pertains to our goals, dreams, values, and even our destiny. We are in Scorpio season, so everything gets a little deeper, and sometimes darker. Our shadows are asking to be seen right now, and by acknowledging this part of yourself, you can empower yourself a great deal. This week feels so much like a hard core therapy session to me. First, there is relationship tension. We are feeling sensitive and dreamy and desiring deeper connection with the people and the world around us. But in response to our reaching out, Life says “Is this what you really want? If so, why?” And Life won’t let us off the hook without a real answer. What are your values? Are they serving your path to progress? What about your partnerships and relationships? Are they a help or a hindrance? And what are you to their path? What parts of yourself have you ...

It’s a little hard to give a clear description of this week’s overall energy. Mercury stations direct, which is awesome. But the day that a planet “stations” either direct or retrograde, it is basically still, and is often the most chaotic time of the retrograde. This of course falls on Election Day, because Goddess is really a comedian. There’s awkward energy afoot from Venus, Uranus, Mars and Saturn as well. It is probably a good week to practice social media distancing (I just made that up, as far as I’m concerned) and holding your tongue. Don’t assume to know the answer to anything until it is extremely clear. Week’s like this present us with an opportunity to focus on our own energy, and tune out anything else. We are fresh off a powerful Taurus Full Moon, and its effects are still being felt. This is a  new beginning, as Samhain is the Celtic New Year. The harvest represents the culmination of lots of hard work. It is time now for gratitude for the abundance, and ti...
