Re-Feminist History (aka Bitchstory)

Wow this week is loaded with juicy stuff!! I noticed that there are more trines and sextiles at play this week, which means the energy flows nicely between planets, and therefore, us. There are a couple of squares, which can be pissy, but overall, this week is lined up for magical stuff! Forget Valentine’s Day, Plfffft. The big day is Wednesday the 16th. I mean Whoa. First of all the Sun will be squaring the lunar nodes, and this always indicates big karmic magnetism, fate, destiny, and all that. The business of the south node is old stuff, and because there is a full moon, old stuff is being wrapped up and filed. Done (or will be soon). To know what the flavor of this business is, see where Taurus and Scorpio are in your chart. The north node (now in Taurus), is always giving us the “come hither” gesture, and drawing us away from the past as we learn our lessons. With Taurus, you are finding your value based on the Taurus placement in your chart. So, like, destiny and fate. Cool...

This poem by Sarah felt like it hit just right this week. Stay with me, Scopes are on wheels this week! There have been times that I have forgotten who the hell I was I got distracted sidelined preoccupied by life by responsibilities or falling in love And of course, motherhood All of them lovely So lovely just all of them pulling me away Until I've made little choices to pull back In little moments to come home to celebrate this kind of love there's no cake for this no ring no ceremony there's no certificate to hang on the wall or big announcement to post except, I suppose, maybe this one but she is here yet she has always been here not just partner or parent but a beating heart with thoughts that run wild lightning bolts up her skin A soul that is soft and a belly that is too though, I do love that most times she tried to be everything that she was supposed to be and it was everything she was not what a ride The kind of ride you take and wonder what heck just happened But...

For the last couple years, I feel like I, and many many other astrologers, have been saying over and over “things are intense” or “things are challenging”. And I’ve joked with my astro colleagues about it. I wondered “are we just a bunch of jaded assholes now? Was there a time when things were not so damn intense? I don’t remember!” But guess what? This year is going to be quite a bit less intense and problematic than the last couple. It will have its bumps and challenges of course, but this year is not defined by Saturn Square Uranus, so that’s a big help. The Capricorn stellium has been breaking up slowly, and that helps. And this week we have a stunning array of positive aspects and transits. So much so that I had to double check myself. Am I drunk? Did I read this correctly? I was not drunk, and I did read it correctly! So take off your rose colored glasses, because you won’t need them this week! Last week Venus stationed direct and she is slowly building up forward momentum...
