Good morning. Happy Monday. Happy new week. How was the full moon for you? I knew it was going to be a whopper for me. As I said, it was on my Chiron and it was so brilliant. It was so cathartic. One of the things that continues to blow my mind and make me so happy is the creativity. of life or life force, let's say in terms of how things are orchestrated to play out, to show us a reflection of what needs to be seen inside or how things are created to poke on something that we need to feel deeply again, and sometimes again and again and again. And that was the case for me. It was, it was brilliant. It was very cathartic and I feel elated now. Uh, it's funny. I was thinking about how we're getting to the end of this great Scorpio season and a byproduct. Of being able to hold deep space and turn around and look at and embrace, our shadow, for want of a better word, or our unconscious drives and desires and actions is the magic of Sagittarius, which is the next cab off the rank, which is an expanded view of an expanded sense of self and what is possible and this, yeah, expanded vision, you know, and it's like, I'm sure many of you have had a breakup is always a good one, but depressions, these personal trials and tribulations. And I know for myself, when I come out of them, when I climb out of them, I feel incredible because there's this deep, visceral feeling of, Oh, I am alive. What is this place? This is fucking gorgeous. it just feels like that aliveness is contagious and it feel, it brings this expanded sense of, Oh, life, life force, what's possible optimism, which is also what Sagittarius represents all of this to say. There's so much ahead of us. And for me, this is just my favorite time of year as we begin to move into the realms of Sarge and then Capricorn, and we start to cast our vision forward. The best way I can explain such is You find yourself On top of a mountain or on top of a cliff and all around you is this gigantic? 360 degree vista this endless horizon and On one hand like the romantics knew in terms of painting, they would always place a human, this tiny speck of human in this vast, massive landscape of nature to bring about the reminder and the realization of how much larger The machinations of existence are compared to us and our wonderfully small lives, which in our brains, like Yoko Ono said, you know, I may look small, but inside of me is a universe. We're all operating from that framework. We're living life, but it's our life. And it's our experience of life. And when we come to Sagittarius, like these romantics, it's like we're standing in this huge vista of nature and it's powerful. It's far more powerful than we are. And it's ancient and it's hopefully everlasting. And to face that magnitude of existence. is beautifully humbling. And for me, it always brings this sense of wonderment, which is also such, we want to be in or accessing these states of the majesty of life, the mystery of life and wonderment. You know, this is a very good time to be in nature to go and climb a mountain and, or go to the horizon, go to the ocean, see that endless horizon, you know, be brilliantly swamped by the expanse of life. Because for me personally, I mean, I need that every day. I'm a ninth house son. So the ninth house is the natural territory of Saj. This is. in my blood. Uh, my mercury and my Venus are also here. It's like, this is necessary for me. It brings me a sense of, I would say health, and like inner wellbeing to be in the vastness of creation. That's why I love being on a plane as well. You know, it's like when you get that view from what feels like the heavens above the clouds. Anything feels possible there. The mind begins to cast itself much further than it is when it's in our, let's say, mundane reality. I'll talk more about that in the coming weeks anyway, as we venture through Sag, but just to say, if this full moon, if this season of Scorpio was strong for you, brilliant. I hope that it was a bountiful time for you, even if it may not have felt bountiful, it may have felt heavy or like revisiting core wounds. That's certainly what this full moon was for me. It revisited these core wounds and I was so lucky to have the time. this weekend to be able to journal these things out and to just write out what these, this recurring uh, wounding is and how it's played out in manifold ways and the pattern around it and also looking to and feeling into how do I Mend this and integrate this and hold the new, hold the new value. We had the final call for the pearls of Venus and Lilith with my friend, Sarah Hollins, who is the best way I can say it is she's a brilliant woman. magi. she has full force and she took us all through this amazing, incredible journey, meditation journey. The, those words are too small. They limit what the experience was, but in it, uh, I saw this wound and it was like a cesarean, but vertical from my roots up to my solar plexus, which was really interesting. And so I've, I've been looking into that a lot this weekend, those three energy points and hanging out with that energy. But in this vision, I saw that it had been, I had mended it. I had mended it several times with this lilac or lavender. Colored woolen thread. And in this vision, I sealed all of the layers of flesh and muscle and all the gross stuff, with gold, like completely, fully sealed it this time. And so that was a lot of my work this weekend was digging into, okay, what is this, how is it still manifest? in my reality and how can I deeply tend to this not in a superficial way, not in an intellectual way, which is my default, but deeply bodily through altering behaviors, through bringing in new behaviors. On Wednesday, not only is it my sister's birthday, happy birthday Chanel, my legend, but it's also. This incredible movement of Pluto into Aquarius. And I really want to speak about that with you all. I'm sure you've all seen it and we have over the last couple of years had movements where Pluto has gone into Aquarius and then it's shifted back into Capricorn and on Wednesday, the 20th of November, At about 8 a. It will move into Aquarius for a very long time. I think it's until 2043. So that's what, 19 years. And I will admit that when I first looked into this, 18 months ago, 2 years ago, I got nervous. And I got nervous because I grew up on Terminator 2, as I think I've disclosed here. So I've always had this freak out about AI and I've evolved my understanding and sense of what this is. I think this is an incredible transit. If you look at Pluto through Capricorn, it has been unbelievable. It started in 2008. I think the week of or the week before or after the, stock exchange stuff went down, and what trickled into recessions. The timing of these shifts is always absolutely fascinating. Capricorn represents, in a collective sense, the structures, the foundations of society. And Pluto since 2008 till now, 2024, it has been not undermining, but deeply bringing to the foreground all of the seedy, shadowy power plays, the underhandedness that has been operating for too long within the structures of society. There has been such an evolution in that time, I think, and I, and I am probably in a bubble. I will admit that in terms of, you know, I see particular things, I think particular things, I sense particular things that may be so different to other people, but from my standpoint, a lot of the fabric of power governmental power has, the threads have started to pull apart. Pluto, as we've been discussing, it's the ruler of Scorpio. It's the big dog. it packs such a punch when the outer planets move, these transpersonal planets, which is Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, when they move signs, it is epic. They take a long time. to churn through a sign a very long time. And so when they make a move, it is felt and ripples out into the collective. These are collective energies. And now it's moving into one of these transpersonal signs of Aquarius, which is our sense of belonging to something beyond ourselves, community. Ideas. We've seen a lot of ideology over the last several years, a lot. And while on one hand there has been a sort of democratization of information, sort of, cause I think it's not fully there, but we have many more outlets now for information. We can access things in real time because every, so many people have phones and social media. And at the same time, there are still these very pronounced power plays that are taking place within this realm of ideologues and ideology, which is the shadow of Aquarius. It's funny, it's like this ramped up version of the shadow of Sagittarius, which can be very judgmental. Here it's an ideology. So it's like you're buying into the idea. Let's take identity politics as a very good example of what I mean I am a woman and I am an individual. I am me before I don the cap or wear the badge of woman. of boring as hell, hetero, by today's standards, uh, Australian, mother. Before I put on all of these badges, I am me. And a big part of what has been circulating through the collective for the last several years is this Positioning of the groups I belong to, the identity groups I belong to, first. What I belong to first, what my identity is made up of, is who I am. And I will argue till the cows come home that that is a very dangerous way to be. I am this political party. Therefore, the people who are also this political party, are my tribe. It's a, it's a weird level of tribalism that's going on and it's not cool. It's not, it's not a fun one, I don't think. All of this is the domain of these shadow expressions of Aquarius, which have been pulsating for the last several years. I think at its healthiest, part of what Aquarius offers us is the space to be exactly who we are. I also think that that's what makes a very healthy society, is the space to be who we are. If we don't have that, if we have to conform to or value our groups, I think that's Our group belonging over belonging to self, then we have very, very sick societies where any kind of individual that stands out must be taken down. Honestly, all of that stuff, cancel culture, identity politics, all of it makes my skin stand. on end, the hairs on my skin stand on end. It makes me so scared. It makes me nervous and I just am deeply opposed to it for many reasons. The main one being, I think it's stunting people's development of their person, their personhood. speaks a lot about the process of individuating, and this is part of what Aquarius represents, the axis of Aquarius and its opposite, Leo. We need to, yes, understand the codes of society and we need to be a participant in society, but if we aren't in participation with our own. being, if we aren't fostering that and we don't have the space to be all of who we are, even if that is a very dynamic being who may not conform to the standard or may believe, have a set of beliefs over here that put them into a particular group, but then they have a set of beliefs over here that put them into a totally different group. To me, that's incredibly natural. That's incredibly normal, we are dynamic layered beings, but now it just feels like that's not really allowed. I think that is very much changing. It's part of why I'm extremely excited about this transit and the astrology of next year. Pluto is related to power. It is related to this deep X ray vision of things. It sees power plays, and now it's in this realm of group. community, we could say the future Aquarius to me is riding this first wave of what is possible for earth and as a human, what is possible for humans. And I don't mean in some creepy world economic forum, Klaus Schwab, way of, uh, what's the quote. You will have nothing and you will be happy. No, it's not this kind of blanket way of existing where we all wear the same clothes. We all adhere to the same dictates. You know, that's, that's so antithetical to what human is. That's so antithetical to life on this planet. All life on this planet is undulating and evolving, going through. Regular, seasonal shifts and changes. Nothing here stays the same. It's not meant to. When things stay the same here, they stagnate, and they get sick, and they die. So this sense of, we all have to be a particular way, or you must socially conform to believe X, Y, Z, or if you're outside of that, you're a total outlier, and a total weirdo. It's All of that's baloney, you know, if anything, we need the outliers. We need the people who are looking at the machinations of society right now from the outside who are seeing it from a different perspective and are able to communicate to us and bring their inventions, bring their ways of seeing and being into the fabric of society. I think that's what this transit is going to do. allow for more of. We could say it's an equalization of power. Right now, It feels like a genuine change of power dynamics is possible. And if you want to dive into a brilliantly articulated example of this, I highly recommend that you go and watch the film Triangle of Sadness. It came out a couple of years ago. It is a genius articulation. Of exactly what's wrong with the current system of power dynamics in this film, without giving the narrative away, what takes place is this series of experiences where Let's say the baton of power is passed from one person in one context of life to another person in a completely different context of life. And what remains is the expression of power, the hierarchy of power, the current hierarchy of power, which is I now have the power and I am in control of all of you. Or, I set the dictates of reality because I am holding the baton. I get all of the profits. all of the fat of the land because I am the one in control with the power. And it's such a tragedy. This idea is so tragic. It actually, it actually chokes me up that this is what's playing out in reality. You see it everywhere. It's one of the byproducts of this current expression of identity politics. Now I have the power, or now the attention is on me. And I am playing out the exact same dynamic, you know? It's a power grab versus a much deeper understanding of, hey, let's have a global conversation of what power is, and what power dynamics are, and what hierarchy is, and is this the future for us? What are other options available to us where we all get to be who we are, we all get to have our place on this earth and we get to be beautifully resonant with our communities safely versus you guys have had the power for way too https: otter. ai That's corrupt. That's a corrupt vision. And it's a a continuation of a system that doesn't work. I would kind of argue that hierarchy is inherent in nature. Everything has its place, but it doesn't have the same power dynamics we as humans have. I don't know. I mean, if you've watched any David Attenborough Shows it's pretty brutal out there. It's pretty savage and brutal, but it feels like with this beautiful transit, we will be able to have these discussions and receive these visions. Of what is next and apply our individual power, which is our attention, our intention, our energy, our action, our force towards not only articulating, but building these new pathways of what can be here in Aquarius. The best of Aquarius walks to the beat of its own drum. When I read for clients, you have this strongly. One of the things that I say is it's like, This may feel lonely for you because you're out here with this incredible flamed torch walking this new path. You're laying down the groundwork of this thing. It doesn't exist yet. And that may feel lonely. And now we're in this time where we're able to find our fellow legends. We're able to find the people that hold the visions, or that are open to receiving the visions like we may be. And we're able to be in communication with them. And that feels like this transit. Which starts on Wednesday, and it goes until 2043. Which is wild. It's wild. I will be so old. I'll be in my 60s. I'll be cool. I'll be, I'll be entering crone phase. No, that'll be rad. I'm excited for that actually. Uh, but we need you and what we need from you is to be you. Even if that pisses people off or it makes people think that, I don't know, list out. All of the names that you can be called right now based on what you do with your body, who you vote for, how you live your life, the types of relationships you have. You know, there's, there's many, many labels right now that are set to make you, that give you an identity. Oh, you must be this. There's no need for dialogue. Full stop. No, no, we need to articulate and to vision, which is Aquarius. We need to vision the landscapes. We will be able to ground through living our lives and valuing what we value, expressing ourselves genuinely in these coming years. This is like a call to action. I didn't set out for it to be like that, but it is a total call to action. And honestly, it's something that I do say to particular clients that I have who have these strong markings. we need you. We do. Part of what's interesting with Aquarius is if you have this strong in your chart, you'll know what I mean. I have my south node here. So this is like inherent and also my early experiences when you are the outsider or when you are the outlier from a young age. You know, like being in the group, but at the same time you're on the outside looking in, analyzing the shit out of it, able to see all the patterns. Then you can continue to create life experiences, frameworks, dynamics, where that sense of not belonging continues. And when you feel like you don't belong, you can come up with some genius reasons as to why. You should never offer your piece to the world. You should never offer your articulation of the human experience to the world. And I need you, we need you to push past that and to face the edges of those boundaries that you may have within your framework because we need your articulation. The artists, the philosophers, the Visioners of what's possible have all had these early experiences of being, Hey, I don't think I belong in this particular framework. I don't think I belong in this particular group. Whatever it may be, we need your maps. We need to understand the paths that you've been walking down because you're extending what's possible down here. You're enlarging and pushing out. what's possible for us down here. So for me, Pluto in Aquarius, it's identifying that you have much power and it's you being who you are, holding space for that, expressing that, not succumbing to or conforming to the room, the social group, whatever it may be. And It's that we have so much power through being in communication with each other, being in community with one another. You know, again, Aquarius can be the outsider. This energy can be like, ah, I don't want to, I don't want to be in community. It's too much for me. Or, uh, it feels like a lot of work, whatever it is. No, you have to push past that. We need to, and I think a lot of us are palpably feeling that desire to be in physical resonance with. People, lots of people at once, you know, in community. Yes. We have the magic of being able to do that digitally, but there's a, there's a calling for that in person experience too, I think. And the other piece of this is. deeply identifying your own power dynamics and then how you play them or utilize them or in a wider context, you know, in relationship, in friendship, in community, because we all need to articulate that for ourselves and be aware of our own drives. You know, there's a Jung quote, which I'm going to butcher because I don't have it in front of me, but it's like the best way to, essentially beat the darkness is to face the darkness inside of yourself. Where are you controlling? Where do you enjoy being at the top of the heap? Where do you enjoy having it over somebody else? There's a lot of ways that this can play out, but what does, so I would ask you, what does an equalization of power look like for you? You know, it's one way to think about this. It's almost like linked to this sense of like abundance. Do you believe there's room for everyone? I teach people astrology. That means I'm aiding people to become astrologers. And some people ask me, does that mean that you're helping to aid future competition? And for me, it's like. No, because what makes somebody stand out as an astrologer or as anything, um, whatever field you're in is you. It's what you as an individual bring to that. What makes me stand out as an astrologer is how I articulate it, how I articulate it, how it moves through me and I'm able to communicate it and express it is what brings people into my world. If I was doing it like. I don't know, everyone else or specific other people, then it wouldn't be, I would be in the background. I, it just wouldn't have the same charge. And I guess that's what I'm speaking to here. There's room for all of us. There's enough air for us all to breathe. There's enough room for you to be who you are and for me to be who I am. And for both of us to deeply thrive and shine. And me shining shouldn't affect you shining and vice versa. And I think we all have stuff around this. I've I've certainly had to work on this on one hand. I feel lucky because I have always adored legends, people who are deeply beating the drum and walking to the beat of their own drum. I just have such a magnetic pull to the people in my life who are like that, which is the vast majority of the people in my life. it feels exciting because there's inherent permission. You get to shine. I get to shine. I know myself. I'm expressing myself. It's safe to do that. It's safe for you to do that too, you know? And at the same time, I am so innately aware of power dynamics, uh, power plays, all this kind of stuff. And there's plenty of it going on all the time. And hopefully we can exercise that. That's what Pluto has planned for us, I think. You know, Pluto being the ability to dig deep into whatever is present and to bring it into the light. I am holding A workshop on the 15th of December, which is a Sunday, Sunday morning, Aussie time. And I'm going to be looking at the astrology of 2025. I have the absolute privilege, and have had for the last five years, to write the horoscopes for the year ahead for my favorite magazine, Rush. I'll link it below, it's just come out this week. And essentially, I get paid to study, research, and then articulate the astrology of the year ahead. And I did that for all of September this year. And more than any other year, it took me so long between research and conceptualization because it's so new. Ah, there's so much happening. There's this huge shift elementally. There's Saturn's changing signs. So for all of you who have Saturn in Aries, Just know that next year you're going to begin the first stages of your initiation and your Saturn return, whether it's your first or your second one. Jupiter changes signs, all of the personal planets retrograde, and all of the outer planets, these transpersonal planets, shift. it's incredible. it took me a long time to conceptualize it, and then I wrote thousands and thousands of words about it. And I've just been percolating on it ever since. So I'm giving a class on it where I'm going to break down for you the major players next year and a synopsis of each of them so that you can walk into 2025 with this map of the astrology with the ley lines in front of you, with an understanding, a very clear and practical understanding of what they represent. and how you can utilize them and work with them in your life. I'm also offering, I think there's about 10 left now, 10 spots where I'll also create a mini reading for you based on the astrology of 2025. And I'll look at how that's interacting with your natal chart, but the workshop itself is 55 Aussie dollars. And you'll also receive a PDF that will have the dates and the synopsis. And we'll have plenty of time for questioning at the end, but it's going to be fun and the replay will be sent out to everyone immediately. So join live, watch the replay. I've called it new juice. It is a completely new year. The best way I can articulate it right now is to say that if you're watching us a play. It's like the backdrop shifts and it's wildly different. That's what 2025 is. It feels to me like an incredibly new, fresh air and space for ideas, visions, being, what's possible. We're writing the new maps now. So, yeah, I hope to see you there. Bye.
