Re-Feminist History (aka Bitchstory)

Greetings, Bitches…or maybe I should substitute with the word “Witches” for this week.  *witchy laugh*  Blessed Samhain, Happy Halloween, and Feliz Dia De Los Muertos.  It’s the latter that I really enjoy getting into, to be honest.  I am fascinated by genealogy and family lineage. I’m fortunate in that I can trace one of our family lines all the way back to Robert the Bruce, 1st King of Scotland. I am descended from a number of Scottish Clan Chiefs, including Hector the Red, “Lachlan the Hairy”, and many others. I am descended from the Plantagenets, Tudors, Stuarts, the Valois, and some other pretty interesting historical names. Alas, no one has mailed me my crown…yet.  But even just in pulling up the info to type this, it is SO easy for me to go down a rabbit hole because I love this family information!  So on Dia De Los Muertos, I channel 3% “Aztec and Indigenous Americas” DNA, and set up an ancestor alter. I put up some favorite pictures, and gawk in am...

  Well alrighty…we have another eclipse, Bitches!  This week we have a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on Halloween Weekend! This is the final eclipse in the Taurus Scorpio series which has tested our sense of security and how we manage our resources. We are graduating to the next set of eclipses, which is already in session. Lunar Eclipses are like super-juiced Full Moons.  They scrub off stuff that we need to let go of.  If you can release and let go willingly, it is usually a lot less upsetting and jarring. It is a time of endings and completions, and this is a final nudge to get your shit together where Taurus is..so don’t be surprised when you’re surprised. Haha.   The eclipse happens Saturday, but you might start feeling it earlier in the week.    The Sun moves into Scorpio on Monday, and you’re bound to feel that shift. I think the shift from Libra to Scorpio is one of the most  pronounced of the year. This week, in addition to this Eclipse, there...

What’s up Bitches? How was that ring of fire eclipse for you? Has anything interesting developed in your life yet? In this week’s planets, I can’t help but notice a lot of energy around perseverance, rebellion, rising up from oppression, and dedication to the mission.   It’s like a call to practice Bitchcraft! Mercury moves into Scorpio this Saturday, the 21st,  and next week the Sun moves into Scorpio as well. Ah, Scorpio season. The sweet smell of pumpkin spice and not giving a fuck what anyone thinks!  Yes please, and make mine a double! Mercury is real busy this week, flitting around and making aspects of all flavors.  He’s moving out of justice-minded Libra, rubbing elbows with Eris and Uranus and Neptune, where he can get a little twitchy and start to question things.  You might not have a firm grasp of what’s going on in either your head or your gut this week.  Neptune can provide strong intuition, but some of these aspects make it hard to discern w...
