For today’s New Moon, we’re going to explore the Sagittarian themes of higher learning and exploration through the moonlit lens of fantasy. In particular, we’re going to take one of your fantasies (or “waking dreams”) and decode its messages, which pinpoint where your soul wants to expand and grow. Along the way, we’ll see how …
Do you ever find yourself arguing with somebody in your head? For months, I’d notice myself arguing round and round in circles with a family member, whom I’ll call Aven. Some nights, lying in the dark, trying to fall asleep, the mental jousting was so intense, my heart would be straight up pounding. WTF. What’s …
My life wasn’t working. I was barely scratching rent money together, spending my puny paychecks, instead, on drinks, drugs, and other shit I didn’t need as I leapt from one trainwreck relationship to the next. I came to Jung’s work at a particularly low and grimy point, when I’d declared that this time, for real, …
What gives a person power over you? For instance, have you ever been afraid to tell your parents about a decision you’ve made–say, you’re going back to school or changing jobs or breaking up with your partner–even though you’re a grown-ass adult? Why should it matter if they approve? For most of us, regardless of …
On this Solar Eclipse + New Moon in Scorpio, a time of both new beginnings and death, I want to look at hidden ways we resist change, instead of letting things die/transform, and how we can soften this resistance to usher in growth and abundance. If you grew up in a wounded family system, you …
I’m obsessed with the creative process. I love thinking about how I create, what works, what doesn’t, reading about other people’s creative processes, watching other people work–you name it. The Aries Full Moon offers potent go-get-some energy that can help us kick off projects with a fiery focus, but sustaining this energy to completion can …
In yesterday’s post, we talked about unconscious projections keeping us chained in the Devil’s dungeon. Today, we’re going to look at my unconscious agreement with a family member, Harron, that stated we’d never get angry with each other. I mentioned last time that Harron and I both have a family history of abusive rage, so …
I used to work with someone who had major probs with authority figures. He would get into gnarly, vindictive arguments with every single boss, and he’d do all sorts of petty things in between arguments to try and “get back” at them. Meanwhile, whenever a supervisory position opened up, he was the first to apply. …
It took me years to realize this, but one morning while journaling, it hit me like a ton of bricks: I had made an unconscious agreement with a family member–let’s call them Harron–that we would never, ever get angry with one another. Our relationship would be “safe.” Harron and I had both grown up around abusive rage, so it made …
The Autumn Equinox marks a time when the veil thins, when the boundary between seen and unseen, conscious and unconscious becomes wispy and penetrable. It’s also a time of equilibrium, when the Sun enters Libra, sign of the scales, so it’s a fab opportunity to look at your current relationship to balance. In particular, I want to …
