Re-Feminist History (aka Bitchstory)

I’m so glad there aren’t as many transits to discuss this week, because Bitches, I am TIRED. The week starts out with a lot of activity and that Virgo New Moon that I discussed last week. In the days following that I think we are best served with a certain amount of stillness to let the dust settle. Mother Nature makes this sort of obvious by the lack of major transits for most of the week. I double checked to make sure I wasn’t missing something. I may still be, but I’m running with this, because we all need this vibe! "Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen - that stillness becomes a radiance."    -Morgan Freeman "In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you" - Deepak Chopra "Everything that's created comes out of silence. Your thoughts emerge from the nothingness of silence. Your words come out of this void. Your very essence emerged from emptiness. All creativity requires some stillness." - Wayne Dyer ...

There are SIX quincunxes this week. I find the quincunx aspect very interesting, but after having a DOZEN of them in August, and having felt the sting of their awkward adjustment energy, I’m over it. Next! More trines please! There are 5 more  quincunxes  in the remainder of September, making at least 11, and possibly making September at least somewhat similar to August (shit!) and some degree of uncomfortable... Again. Still. As usual. Ad nauseum. Fuck. I will say that I feel that  the slates were mostly cleared in August and that in September we begin to start something from scratch.  The New Moon in Virgo is a great opportunity for us to set intentions for creating and inviting things in our lives that we care about, activities that matter to us, and relationships that serve us better than the ones we left behind in August. The ground IS fertile. Because even after a fire scorches the earth, little green saplings will poke through the destruction as they reach for...

Well we have another heavy hitting week in the sky. I can’t remember a time when we didn’t. I honestly try to keep it light and hopeful around here, but the planets don’t lie. I am, however, an eternal optimist, and I do believe that difficult times give way to better times. The chaos that we feel individually is happening globally and to the whole collective. That is no consolation, really, but the point is, there are massive shifts happening and it's uncomfortable, but ultimately for our benefit. This week, the stand out event to me is Pluto (in Capricorn) square Eris (in Aries). Eris has been stirring things up since her discovery and addition to our collective consciousness in 2003. When she dances with Pluto, it is always a dance of passion. And by “passion” I don’t mean romance. Passion is about suffering. These 2 planets are constantly vying for supremacy. They have aspected each other in various ways over the last decades; it has been a Tango, it has been a Paso Doble, it h...
