Scorpio is a fixed water sign. The water element is all about passion, emotion, SOUL. It’s the energy that moves in us. That clears away the debris. That rocks us to sleep. That blesses us.

A few days ago, I was talking to a new friend who’s super active in the world of social justice. Despite the fact that healing the world is her life’s work, she spoke of how sometimes she’s filled with despair. She sees racism in everyone and everything, including herself. She sees it in every institution. She sees […]
Mercury goes direct today. Phew! Finally. Mercury is the energy of the in between spaces. The passageways. The connecting valves. The communication and nervous systems. When Mercury is retrograde, those in between spaces might feel vast, as as Mercury moves direct we have an opportunity to bridge the gaps. Look back over the past three […]

At MOCA, we didn’t try to tell museum visitors what the art meant; we tried to help them have a richer experience of looking at the work. As an oracle, I have a similar intention.

I had severe asthma as a child , so bad my lips would turn blue and you could see my heart beating through my purple unicorn shirt from across the room. Sometimes I’d have to go to the hospital and be hooked up to an oxygen tank. The asthma found it’s way into my body […]
Venus enters Gemini today, and I’ve been thinking about how to communicate effectively. Lately I’ve been wanting to reach out. To say what I really mean. To create true intimacy with people.
