Re-Feminist History (aka Bitchstory)

Before I dive in, a little preface: I tend to take for granted that clients, readers, and people in general are not always viewing things the way I am. And I sometimes forget to remind ya’ll…it’s going to be ok! I am very comforted by the patterns in astrology, and in humanity, frankly. Whatever difficulties you are going through personally, you’re going to get through it! And on the other side of it, coming at an annoyingly slow pace, is a version of you that is thriving. Trust me, I have been in the position of being on my knees or on my face just begging the Universe for a break, for a gift. It felt eternal when I was down there.  I have been in that position several times in my life, and so have you. And look, we are up! We are reading this! We are doing the work! There are people in this community and tribe who are still down. They can’t find the focus or the motivation to read this, do the work, or even get out of bed. That is part of being human. Do what you can for the peo...

Whew. That's the longest blog title I've ever had! I truly do need a nap, so I'll cut to the chase - Whatever is coming up for you from the past, get ready to scrub it off and heal. It is time to face discomfort that might be trying to get your attention so that you can move beyond where you are. Sometimes when we read horoscopes, particularly ones that include dramatic events like eclipses, our mind thinks of absolutes: losing jobs, breaking ups, bankruptcy. Those kinds of extremes are unusual. In my personal experience since I’ve been an aware person, it is much more like an onion. I’m not a botanist so I’m 1000% sure this isn’t how actual onions work, but for human onions, the center of the onion keeps growing and expanding upward, causing the outer layers to start to peel back. Those outer layers are blocking the sunshine of our spirit and they’re basically just in the way. Every change inducing event peels those outer, old layers back a little more , or peels one o...

Before I go begin, did you know BitchScopes is also a podcast now?  Find it on Apple, Spotify, or Anchor.fm/bitchscopes.  Even if you prefer to read it, please subscribe and let it play when you can, because that helps my stats.  Ok, on with the scoop! This is obviously a very significant week where we have both a partial solar eclipse conjunct Venus , asking us to tidy up our emotional and financial messes, and Mars stationing retrograde in Gemini . Last week’s scopes I discussed where the eclipse will hit each sign’s chart. This week I will discuss the potential effects of Mars retrograde on each sign.  In general, think back to May of this year, because both the eclipse and Jupiter are harkening us there. Jupiter is backing into Pisces, where it began its retrograde, and the previous eclipse in Taurus was in May.  Also, if you think back farther - to around 1985 and 2003, see if you can pick out some themes. Those same themes are coming up again. Cycles.....
