Understanding the influence of the first move by Uranus into a new sign since 2003 isn’t just a matter of discussing events. It’s about considering the difference between mere change and what Uranus signifies, which is innovation. If something you’ve been expecting or anticipated is on your mind, then that’s not Uranus. It’s a just a new version of the past – like repainting a room. Same room, just a different colour.
Uranus is about breakthroughs. In a house, you’d be breaking down the wall between the reception room and kitchen …

This is a great article written by one of our resident guest authors, astrologist Shelley von Strunckel. There is no astrology here, but lots of peace of mind. And to accompany this article I’ve pulled one of my meditations from my I Am Grace CD called Deep to help you relax into it.
The first time I saw anybody meditating, I was in my late teens. It was at the Vedanta Society Temple in Hollywood, a lovely if tiny refuge from the excesses of that city located, bizarrely, by the Hollywood …

A recent exchange on Twitter made me realize how much confusion there is between the traits attributed to each sign of the zodiac and individuality.
While some pride themselves on their star sign (especially Leos, I’ve found), others find it a bit embarrassing (Scorpios, who tire of the leers their sexy reputation triggers). But most don’t really think about it until they’re told about their purported characteristics, when they quite rightly question a system that “informs” them of their character. We each regard ourselves as unique individuals, the result of the …

As usual, every December 31st, across North America, we move into a brand new year.
Screaming and shouting at midnight, setting our new prayers in motion, we dream up our
promises and resolutions too often to be forgotten by the morning.
It is as if the New Year arrives and then we unconsciously make a promise to forget what we said just the night before.
By nature we are forgetful creatures.
Humans have a funny quality that is self defeating and unpredictable. The planets on the other hand are consistent and stable. The earth, the …

To the Midpoint and Beyond…
So here we all are, on the eve of an annual life reevaluation with one year/decade ending and another beginning, AND on the eve of a MR in Capricorn.
To use this time wisely I would counsel a reorganization and reassessment of your priorities within the context of the Capricorn archetypal themes.
Ultimately this retrograde brings a deep surrender and review of our authentic ambition and responsibilities.
We are asked by Mercury to receive a new message from our soul regarding what motivates our goals in life. This will …

Power vs. Powerlessness
One of the greatest spiritual tasks we are continually asked to engage is the discernment of where we have power in life and where we don’t.
Said another way, when do we need to apply self-effort (Capricorn) vs. allowing grace to do its thing.
I’ve noticed that in my own life I’ve spent so much time trying to control things I simply cannot; such as whether someone will abandon me, whether people like me or not, how many copies my book sells, whether someone loves me or not, how folks …

Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn
December 26th, 2009 – January 15th, 2009
This Mercury Retrograde (MR) officially begins on December 26th (right after Christmas, nice right??) and ends in the New Year on January 15th, 2010.
Yet as previously mentioned, the set up phase has been in motion since December 9th when Mercury entered into the degree of Capricorn it will retrogress back to.
As Capricorn as an archetype has to do with our ambitions and goals in the world, the poignancy of this MR bridging us from the last year into the next is …
