Re-Feminist History (aka Bitchstory)

Well, HellOOO August. In true Leo fashion, August starts off with a bang. On Sunday July 31, Uranus conjuncted the North Node, which presents shake ups to the direction we are headed. I would like to interject that I am SO.TIRED. of living in extraordinary times. Boredom, where art thou? I miss thee… Ok anyway, then on August 1st Mars hops into the line up, creating this triple conjunction that I’m sure you’ve heard about several times now. This is very rare. Uranus and the North Node meet up every 15 years, but they haven’t been in Taurus together since ancient times - i.e. a long ass time ago! To have the 3 of them together is remarkable. And do we ever need some Divine shake ups here on Earth! Everyone be cray! All the countries and all the humans and errrrthang be cuckoo! A friend of mine was commenting on the very hot weather here and jokingly said “does God hate us?” Another friend replied “I would if I was God”. It made me chuckle. Sometimes I wonder if God/Goddess re...

This is a week I look forward to every year - the Leo New Moon. I love Leo season, and this new moon will offer a lot of comfort and respite from the harsh world full of bullshit and assholery that we have all grown so exhausted from. Leo is heart centered, proud and confident, as well as playful and expressive. Even when we don’t feel confident, Leo season sprinkles a little of its magic on all of us. As with every new moon, you should take advantage of this opportunity for a fresh start by doing some work manifesting or setting intentions.  Because I am surrounded by cats, I get a lot of Leo energy every damn day. Dogs just look at your with their plaintive eyes, as they beg for food while you eat. They are not generally as “in your face” (literally) as cats are. Cats are not subtle about what they want. One of my cats scratches at the door at night (for hours) if I don’t let him sleep with me. One lays on my face when he wants affection. One paws my face if she wants to d...

I think this will be an interesting week on a personal level. That Capricorn Full Moon last Wednesday was a bit harsh. Capricorn is no nonsense and no bullshit, and it didn’t pull any punches showing us where we need to improve in order to move ahead. This week, there’s a good amount of internal conflict, and bumping into values that we hold which are at odds with the goals we are trying to achieve. Some of us are going to feel a little “put upon” or burdened by our soul work or our life’s calling. The Sun and Mercury move into Leo, which stimulates our pride and playfulness, for better or worse. This week in the battle between work and play, work is likely to lose. There’s a lot of nurturing and compassion and even activism that wants to happen, but those things are bumping up against a sort of crisis of self esteem. Chariklo, the wife of Chiron, is about self sovereignty and compassion, but she is in difficult aspects this week. We have a couple of tough Pluto aspects, and t...
