Re-Feminist History (aka Bitchstory)

BitchScopes for July 27- August 3 This week has the energy of change and unexpected insights and events. Tension is very possible and you’d be wise to be aware of your own energy as you interact with others. You may vascillate between bubbly optimism and desolate pessimism and its all OK. This Aquarius full moon is a major contributor to this energy, but has a lot of help from Mercury and Uranus. Be fearlessly yourself, or at least imagine what that would look and feel like. Your imagination does give life to things. Journaling this week about who you would be if you had nothing to lose could uncover some delicious and valuable truths for you. July 27th: Jupiter Sextile Neptune - Optimistic, hopeful, spiritual connection, a portal for your dreams to become real - This transit happens about every 4-9 years. But in 2020, the year of WTF, this transit happens 3 times. This can be thought of the Universe providing us a bit of a buffer or reprieve from the Pluto and Saturn energ...

BitchScopes for the week of July 20th I know my dates are overlapping from week to week just a smidge. This Monday we have the New Moon I talked about in last week’s Scopes. And on Monday the 27th we have a few significant things to talk about that I don’t want you to miss. I can not state enough that this double Cancer New Moon is an opportunity to get your intentions straight as we enter a new phase. I know, I know, we’ve all been talking about new beginnings every months since forever. But it is clear in the world that things are at a boiling point. This is the alchemy of life. When things are heated they become something new. It isn’t as thought we will wake up one Wednesday and go “woohoo everything is different!”. It’s more like watching your own child grow, in that you don’t notice all the little changes when you see them every day. But one day you recognize that they’ve grown. We are entering a new cycle, personally and collectively, and it happens slowly, but al...

My most glittery apologies for the absence of BitchScopes last week.  I was stuck in bed with a pinched nerve in my back.  If you read my last BitchScope intro, I was talking about the eclipse closing out old chapters, shelving old stories, and big, significant healings from the past.  This back injury definitely has an emotional component to it. (I talked about it on BitchSplaining with Crisann last week)  I just did not have the ability to sit at my desk or even to focus on writing for the several hours that it requires.  But I’m back, no pun intended.  I saw a Doctor I really liked (which is unusual) and got some relief.   So this week we are focusing on the transits from 7/13-7/19.  However, on 7/20 we have a very significant lunation to discuss and I don’t want to talk about it after the fact, so I’m including it in this week’s scopes.   We have a double new moon. Some are calling this a “Black Moon”, but, similar to a Blue Mo...

I hope you’ll forgive the absence of BitchScopes this week.  I am sidelined with a gnarly back injury and I could not will myself to sit at the computer for hours.   In place of scopes I’ve pulled a couple cards from my two decks    My second deck, Resistance is Futile, speaks to the emotions we repress.  Repressed emotions will often express (involuntarily) as anger.  Anger is the easiest and basest emotion to grab on to.  Sometimes what comes out as anger is actually fear or sadness (or grief)  One of these cards talks about fear being oppressive and holding us down, and back.  The other card speaks to the fact that even during times when you feel like crap, even if you’re going through difficult transitions and painful transformations, you are still being blessed. You are still fabulous. The fact that you are going through a transformation makes you MORE fabulous!  When we go through difficulties, it’s important that we allow ou...

Well this week there are a couple things to discuss, but the big focus is the Lunar Eclipse on Saturday July 4th  (late the 4th and very early the 5th in some places).  This Full Moon is in Capricorn, opposite the Sun in Cancer. This lunation asks us about how we can have the harmonious home life we all crave, shedding light on the tension between nurturing ourselves and our responsibility to others.  One way of looking at at this (archetypally and admittedly gender normatively) is the difference between how a mother tends to her family and how a father tends to his family. Do success and money bring ease and joy, or do ease and joy help manifest money and abundance? This eclipse is also an emotional reset. This moon opposes Mercury, which means expressing your feelings is important during this time. The trouble may be that Mercury is also retrograde, so accessing and making sense of those feelings could be a little more difficult than usual. To help gather your though...

BitchScopes for June 22-28 Well Venus is direct this week, but we are still neck deep in retrograde season. Some tension that has lingered in relationships for the last few weeks might suddenly just be smoothed over. Or you might suddenly have the nerve to deal with it. But we are in a very mixed energy right now, so you should examine and reexamine your feelings and what you say before you say it. Because you may think your ass is on fire, and be ready to dial 911, only to find out later that you just have a sunburn, or wore the wrong pants. Your judgement is clouded and you’re likely to be a little over reactive. Its best to pull back, focus on your personal goals, and observe yourself (and others) carefully. Take stock of your feelings and be prudent in what you say and to whom this week. Having said that, however, do talk to your people, your loved ones, your friends. Enjoy some laughs, and some art, and some summer time. Don’t isolate yourself too much. If you feel particul...

Last week was Neptune-y, this week is very Cancer-y and sensitive. Mercury goes retrograde in cancer, the sun enters Cancer, and there’s a solar eclipse in Cancer.  Eek! However in the middle of the week we do have a glimmer of respite with some Mars transits that will energize and motivate you...that is if you can be motivated.  it might be an uphill battle because we are likely to feel tender and emotional and not very logical, for the most part. June 18th : Mercury retrograde in Cancer (until july 12th) Our thoughts are coloured by our emotions. It is very difficult to be objective, during this transit.  we are collectively in deep introspection now (which is obvious when you watch the news or look at social media) because we have 5 planets retrograde. June 18th: Mars sextile Pluto - drive and determination June 19th : Sun conjunct North Node - what we desire, also desires us. our annual opportunity to realign to our higher callings. June 20th : Mars sexti...
