Wednesdays are for Mercury

A lot of folks will say to take a nap, have a snack, or bathe luxurious-like on Mondays. But, maybe you’ve found that on Mondays you prefer yoga or a martial arts class, and it’s Saturdays are actually the day you want to focus on self-care? (I’m looking at you Aquarius risings!)

Betterthans & B-Sides 2023: Week #8

There's not a lot of great windows of supportive skyvibes this week, but there are two solid B-Sides. A lot of the Betterthans this week are pretty marginal, though should be very informative for those observing charts of the moment as part of their electional studies.

Skyvibe Serial 2023: Week #8

On the whole, this week is one that's about thinking and speaking clearly about the things we need in order to heal: things that need to change, ways we need to innovate where old ways of doing things are no longer kind or compassionate to carry on – for us, or others.

Skyvibe Serial 2023: Week #6

At long fucking last we're finally getting to close the door on things that began in the Fall of 2021 with the beginning of the Taurus/Scorpio eclipses, which in turn picked up the ongoing Saturn/Uranus square that began back in 2020...

Fortnightly Lunacy: Leo Full Moon

It seems like it's about some showdown or big reveal related to ego, authority, or me vs. we kind of thing... how we make stay flexible and adaptable so that we can be innovative and inventive enough to emerge on the other side of groundbreaking change to the material conditions we all face...

Betterthans & B-Sides 2023: Week #6

We start the week with a Full Moon in Leo, which means that the Moon will be waning. Elections now are best for finishing things, and less ideal for new beginnings. Returning to old things is also a potential, at least for this week - less so next.
