…happy tuesday and 2nd day of 2018!
i had THE MOST AUSPICIOUS start to the new year yesterday. with the full moon conjunct SIRIUS (the Spiritual Sun of our sun)- in a Grand Water Trine with jupiter and neptune (the two spiritual planets) and mars- i had massive BIRD MEDICINE.
as i was leaving california hot springs near the sequoias (where our new years eve retreat was)- i saw a golden eagle (maybe 2 of them or perhaps the same one that followed our car), a bald eagle, a red tail hawk, a peregrine falcon, some other very large hawk-like raptor sitting on the side of the road, a kestrel and several other types of birds. we literally saw all of these birds within a 20 minute window on our drive out of california hot springs!
upon returning home we heard an owl hooting outside of our front door. we go out and look to see an owl right on the telephone wire hooting, then another comes to join him. finally a 3rd one comes! all 3 are hooting really loudly- and i of course was hooting back :)
such a powerful way to start 2018! bird medicine has to do with rising above, getting a Greater Perspective, and linking heaven to earth (they are the messengers that mediate between the two). raptor medicine specifically has to do with Higher Awareness, Higher Vision and intense focus- as these birds can see prey from very high in the sky.
of course the birds i saw during the day are SOLAR TOTEMS while the owls i saw at night are LUNAR TOTEMS. the dance of sun and moon, yang and yin, masculine and feminine is in focus at the start of the year.
2018 adds up to 11 in numerology- a master number! and 11 adds to 2. 2 is the number of Union but also duality. Union happens when two opposing or separate things/energies/beings come together. this is a year of SACRED MARRIAGE and HIEROSGAMOS and with both MARS and VENUS RETROGRADE from summer to fall we will be having deep opportunities to do this inner work (not to mention the nodes of the moon changing into CANCER/CAPRICORN the signs of the Mother and the Father).

THE ASTRO FOR TODAY:
tuesday january 2nd-
at 1:37am the sun in capricorn sextiles neptune in pisces, aligning the conscious self and ego with the planet of mysticism, spirituality and compassion. sun/neptune is dreamy, romanctic, mystical and loving. taking time to turn within and access the richness of Spirit hidden within ourselves and the material world is key. tapping into intuition, paying attention to dreams, accessing creativity and more are all supported right now!
jupiter in scorpio squares retrograde ceres in leo at 6:04am, creating tension between the planet of expansion and excess and the Great Mother asteroid Goddess. we are currently in a powerful alignment of ceres with the north node and both quincunx to pluto. intensity and shadow dynamics coming to Light around home/family situations, relationships with children, the environment and how we disrespect the feminine and the Great Mother are in focus right now. jupiter is exacerbating this dynamic as jupiter is linking with ceres, the north node and pluto very end of 2017 and throughout the first month of 2018. focusing on proper balance of self care and care of others and the world around us is key.
at 6;11am uranus stations direct at 24’34 capricorn, making the rebel revolutionary and Great Awakener the most powerful planet in the sky! the past several months of uranus retrograde has been a time to focus the energies of change and revolution within, but now that he is waking from his slumber we can expect some big shifts and outer movement in our personal and collective lives. this week/month the electric, sudden and impulsive energy can be high! our need to change and be free needs to be balanced with some grounding and stability or we will feel like we have been plugged into an electric outlet that is giving more energy that we can process. watch out for anger and aggression (in yourself, in others)- both are likely to be high right now. with this powerful shift occuring two days into the new year know that the trickster energy is dominating the scenes right now. stay open to shifts and changes- but watch out for impulsivity, anger and conflict orientation at home and in the world around you today! use uranus’ energy to be out with the old and in with the new! just make sure you can determine which is the baby and which is the bathwater ;)
