The Law of the Secret Door is something I guarantee you’re familiar with…you just might not realize it. In stories, especially archetypally rich stories like fairy tales, if someone is told, “Hey, so there’s this Secret Door over there and you mustn’t, under any circumstances, for realsies, I mean it, ever ever ever open that …
What does a triangle have to do with getting what you want in life? Well today, I want to tease out the deeper secrets of manifestation by using very simple geometry–no protractor required. Talk about synchronicity: As I was writing this, I got an email with the subject line “Butator, Angel of Calculations,” and I …
For the Full Moon in Gemini, let’s explore Hermes (Mercury), ruler of Gemini, and the ability to traverse boundaries, expand beyond limits, and chart the unknown. One of our greatest challenges, as humans, is to use what we’ve learned from the past without becoming bound by it. Our ego faithfully records our experiences through the …
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 …
