Straddled between two worlds yet eternally bound to both, the Piscean archetype is the alpha and omega within the consciousness spectrum held within the zodiac belt. The complexity of this fathomless realm is due to the co-existence of a liminal duality that blends Senatrix and Neonate; Krone and infant; Sage and Novice; Veteran and Greenhorn, into one and the same.
Aquarius iconography is a curiosity since it is often depicted as a young, beautiful man pouring water onto the earth from the sky above. Forgiven, you are, for thinking that it is a water sign, when in fact Aquarius is ultimately about the sovereignty of your inner thoughts, ideas and voice, as it is composed of two energetic states –
During this time of great imbalance you may feel torn between the priorities of healing yourself and your immediate ‘family’ (resolving your own inner spiritual, psychological or physical problems) and attempting to cure the social and economic ills that beset our global culture.
The 23rd Saros 142 Solar eclipse and New Moon on the 14th of December arises in Mutable Fire. The concept of mutability means that you have an impact on another, as much as they have an impact on you. So the way in which you respond, not only tells the world a lot about you, it also intimately impacts the other.
LOve. It is one of the most powerful emotions that fuel our lives. Hate, fear and anxiety have nothing on the power of lOve. After all, ‘love is not love which alters when it alteration finds, or bends with the remover to remove. O no! It is an ever-fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken’ (Shakespeare) ‘Love is the diamond’ (Rumi) the everlasting jewel that guides and informs all our actions, without which we are bereft and lost.
In the beginning was the Word. But this Word did not ‘know’ itself. It just was. Born of ‘woman’, as the Native American traditions suggest, it is a place of non-action, of stillness and of unlimited fecund potential. It is the moment before movement. It is the motion behind evolution. It is the source of creativity. It is the deep pool from which life is birthed. It is the place of the non-manifest, that source from which life is generated.
This Solstice New Moon illuminates those patterns and complexes that have prevented you from experiencing Oneness – whether with another or more importantly with yourself – and what will emerge from within you over the coming six months is only meant to shed those deep emotional scripts and legacies left over from your lineage and from the penetration of the dark hand of society.

MAY 3rd -7:00pm -EST- PATRICIA WALSH – Transiting Nodes – Sagittarius/ Gemini : The Divinity of Diversity – Out of One, Many!
The image that came when Patricia contemplated this transit – a Centaur shooting a single arrow straight up into the night sky, and many arrows falling back down to earth like shooting stars. The concentrated focus of the Archer is now open to new possibilities! As the lunar nodes transit into the mutable signs of Sagittarius (Synthesis and Singularity)/ Gemini (Diversity and Plurality) we can begin to shake off the dust of the crumbling structures around us and what limited us in the past (Capricorn) to rediscover what enthuses us and the diverse ways it might show itself now.
How are you truly doing amidst this redistribution of power, a time, whether artificially hijacked by the governing forces, terrified of losing their grip on power, or Gaia’s attempt to be heard? For many introverted sOul explorers, what we, as a collective, are moving through is no different than normal! However for many who talk of detoxing, of having time to focus on things that matter,
