Re-Feminist History (aka Bitchstory)

'Twas the week of Christmas and all thru the hood,  ripples of worry and prayers for sprinkles of good.   The humans were tired, and troubled, and  sick,  because in 2021, Covid was a real dick.   Shopping was stressful and working retail was hell Small businesses were struggling and trying to sell Restaurant servers were sick of depending on tips And people’s every rude thought passing their lips Humanity was pretty damn sick of itself And had even mostly retired that stupid Elf on a Shelf The stockings were hung but not with much care What did it matter if no family was there? They were sick of the masks and sick of the rules They were sick of the shootings in all of the schools They were sick of the news and political fights They were sick of the bullshit from the left and the right So what could they do when no hope seemed close by Just more bad news flying hither and nigh Then some dreamer looked up and it donned on them: HEY! There’s always hope ...

Alright! Here we are, y’all. This week the much touted, often grimly painted Venus retrograde begins. I have read so much garbage about this. Look, can shitty things happen during a retrograde? Of course. Shitty things happen every day, and all we have to blame it on is ourselves, our cats, our mothers, or the moon. So we get excited when we have something else to blame! Fact is, we’ve had a lot of sweeping change type transits, including some pretty juicy and potent eclipses…oh, eclipses. Another thing that many astrologers love to spin people into a tizzy about.

You may decide the Lexus you bought was not a great deal after all, or that your new hair style is so bad that you want to shave your head. But if you’re mostly happy with your job, your hair, and your partner, things are probably going to tick a...

This week looks exactly like a week after a New Moon Solar Eclipse filled with sweeping change....because it is.  With the exception of Sunday’s Sun square to Neptune, this week is ripe for planning for the future, and motivation to achieve. Formation of new projects is highly favored. It could be interesting to see how said projects form, because on the one hand, Eris is wanting to buck the traditional, and on the other hand, Mercury in Capricorn wants to be practical and maybe even traditional. So I would suggest this: let the Sagittarian fire of motivation and desire burn freely. Take lots of notes, make your wild vision board, let your imagination run free. When Capricorn kicks in, you can review those notes and knock off the “unsuitable” edges. Enjoy the creative process for the moment. Let the season inspire you (or, let the depression of the season inspire you...that also works) to aim high. Dream big. Feel the magic of co-creating with the badass energies like Eris and ...
