Sitting on the couch, icing my knee after an injury, and thinking about The Hanged Man. What did you do last week?

This year is off to a slow start and I’m here to tell you that a slow start is a good thing, a necessary thing. This brings me to my latest mantra: Be flexibly prepared.

Welcome to the Full Moon from across the world! She’s bright and beautiful here and soon the Earth will turn enough for North America to see her too. Trust me, you don’t want to miss it!

For the title of this piece I wanted to write “We are all on a path” in German so I wrote what I thought it might be, “Wir sind alles im Weg.” Then I put it into Google translate to find out I had written, “We are all in the way.” Which is also true. I am in my own way more often than not.

Die Heimat is the feeling of home beyond spatial definition. The feeling of safety and tradition that can be trusted overtime. How do I replicate this feeling when I feel scared, or lonesome or lost, especially as I travel across the atlantic?

We are in Leo season. We are vibing and we are HOT. The sun is in her power and everyone, or at least everyone in the northern hemisphere, knows it.

Jump into my brain about the Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio. Scorpio has the greatest capability of all the signs to connect to a deeper well of emotions and full moons, and even more so, Lunar Eclipses are a time for us to tap into what no longer serves us.

A new season and a new astrological year in the skies and with it comes inspiration and new starts. But what if you are having trouble stepping into this new chapter?

Many people talk about Mercury retrograde while it’s happening but fewer people talk about what to do after Mercury goes direct.

I wanted more musical joy, I asked for more musical joy, and Tom Waits, The 3 Toms, and The Mystery Man from the Quest all those years ago were being used as tools by the universe to give me a huge signal.

Today is October 5th, the day my identical twin sister Erin died, 33 years ago. Knowing she is with me helps me understand how much we are all connected, not just me and my twin, but every soul physically living or not. One consciousness spread out like the branches of a tree.

The change of season, especially into a mutable sign like Virgo forces us to be adaptable, flexible, and versatile. When it’s uncomfortable, try to guide the fluctuation and in a sense, take management over the inevitable transition.

Today I’m coming at you with the 8 of wands, a numeric card from the minor arcana of the Tarot deck. Wands are the suit of action, creativity, intuitive ambition, and eights are a whole other ball of wax…

Last week, I felt the pressure of being in the mouth of the wolf once again and I won’t lie, I almost let it bite me…I hope I have the faith to lean into the path the universe has for me, rather than the plan I’ve set for myself. Because as imaginative and creative as I am, the universe can always outdo me.

Being creative and being PERSISTENT with being creative inevitably has ups and downs. It helps keep in perspective that even if you’re in the midst of something going less than perfect, just keep breathing and set yourself up to succeed the next time.

So here’s the deal, my mother has a lesson for everything. And one thing she has instilled in me is the ability to be nimble.

I am, and always will be, a multifaceted person…I’ve never had a favorite piece of myself.
