The Nine of Swords (And How We Can Deal with Modern Anxieties)

  Happy Wednesday, everyone! Thanks to all of you that I've had the chance to sit down with already this week and over this past weekend. Taking this morning to discuss something I've seen in the individuals I've met with recently and that's anxiety. More specifically, how do we deal with it? This will be a relatively short post and one a little different than what I normally do as it has much more broad generalizations than I'm usually comfortable with but since this has been so prevalent over the last week or so, I felt called to address it in a post everyone can read. Something I've noticed in roughly 8/10 people I've seen in the last week is the appearance of this card; the Nine of Swords. From students, to mothers, to fathers, to the retired and the very not retired, this card has come up more for more people in a short amount of time than I've seen in my career. Anyone familiar with tarot knows this isn't the best omen to receive and reflect o...

What We Suppress Shapes Our Life (Full Moon in Libra)

There is a fundamental tension within human psychology; the drive to push and the drive to pull. To chase or to attract. To project or to recede. At a deeper level, this dynamic shapes both our identity and our sense of stability. This deeply palpable tension can be observed clearly in the current polarity we're witnessing with our most recent Full Moon in Libra this week. One of the most polarizing aspects to any strong Libra is indecision. No matter the manifestation of ones personal aspects or planets, the energy of Libra blesses the individual with diplomacy and the virtue of harmony but when out of balance this energy leads to passivity, allowing indecision to cease action. This is where Libra’s opposite, Aries, psychologically takes the focus. Aries on the polarity can act without thinking, identifying only what they want to take immediate action towards in the moment without any doubt or indecision. People with heavy aspects within one of these polarities or the other will t...

Where I've Been

  " There is always a dream world which is  super imposed over the real world.  Within it,  consciousness delights in playing different roles,  and if we're not careful,  we can easily trap ourselves  in an identity that maintains  defense or offense against another. By becoming no one in particular, we become more truly ourselves- without having to fabricate an identity that is 'against' anyone." - Lyam Christopher, 'Kabbalah, Magic and the Great Work' The initial purpose of this blog was never intended to be a reality show. Whether in the form of gossip or to prattle on about my life or my own personal psychology. The idea was to highlight the concepts Jung reveled in discovering and discussing in the later years of his life; the microcosmic and macrocosmic connections of the human psyche and the history of mythology as told through the stars, repeated in the energetic connections we experience day to day. But as my focus was quickly shifted f...

The Karmic Wheel of Chiron

  "The wheel of incarnation is the basis of astrological study. Understanding that we're all here to learn lessons from different perspectives, that no one has it truly better than the other, we can begin to actively heal the karmic bonds we're born to face. "                                                                                In astrology, the asteroid Chiron which sits between Saturn and Uranus represents the area of life we experience deep subconscious wounds and emotional hurt. In mythology, Chiron was a centaur abandoned by his mother who saw him as a beast. (As we know, astrologically the mother is represented by The Moon and the sign of Cancer.) Chiron overcame this pain of early abandonment, neglect, and rejection and transmuted it into incredible skill with medicine...
