Planetary Transits & Cosmic Interplay for the week of July 29–Aug 4
At this time in the sky, we have Mars and Ketu conjunct in the sign of Aquarius. This can bring about a time of deep psychological exploration or inhibited energy resulting in frustration, or even possibly make real estate a focus. To further understand why this is the case, let’s explore the energies of these two planets.
A New Moon is a time to set intentions for what we’d like to see come to fruition by the time of the Full Moon. Having a better understanding of the luminary and planetary energies allows us to make better choices and helps ensure that our actions will provide the positive results we are looking for.
This new moon occurs on March 27-28, 2017
Take Action!
The sign of Aries, with its symbol of the ram’s horns, shows impulse and force. The archetypes of the Warrior, Pioneer and Adventurer are each a perfect match for this energy.
The Warrior, sword pulled from his sheath, is ready to charge forward in battle. The Pioneer, in order to reach a better destination, is ready to face all unknown perils when travelling through unknown territory. And the Adventurer is willing to dismiss all fears of danger for the excitement and thrill of a new challenge.
Worrying is a funny thing—it can be helpful to spark motivation, and it can be a hindrance when it reaches a chronic stage. Below is an account of anxiety, with a light touch of the humor we all need in the world.
Existential worries can plague many of us.
In college I had the privilege of attending a lecture that changed my life and how I view the world. The lecture was an integral part of my alma mater’s annual Wisdom Traditions series, and it was there that I heard Angeles Arrien, world-renowned author and activist, talk about her revolutionary book, The Four-Fold Way: Walking the Paths of the Warrior, Teacher, Healer, and Visionary.
