We are now midway through March. The first 10 weeks of 2025 have felt arduous, to say the least. Unless you are versed in astrology, you’d be forgiven for thinking a few months ago that this was going to be your year. The astrology of March is nothing short of next level, so much so…

So far, 2025 has been fraught with past memories and patterns that may have prompted old wounds to resurface. Mars retrograde in Cancer wielded a sword and cut open our emotional tender parts. This was so we could examine them and figure out what needs to be dealt with, what needs to be healed, and…

Many moons ago, I worked for a friend in his chiropractic clinic. Patients would arrive with different ailments and injuries of varying degrees, looking for relief. For some, a quick massage, acupuncture, and manipulation were all it took to get them firing on all cylinders again. Then there were those who’d complain after their first…

It’s safe to say that the New Year period is over. It’s been a rather arduous start to 2025. While the calendar tells us we are close to the third month, the planets are still very much embedded in their previous cycles. At first glance, this is frustrating and not very conducive to progress and…

Each one of us has the capacity to go with the flow. To look at something, then look away. If it doesn’t concern you, then no harm, no foul. Just keep doing what you were doing. As you were. You draw your line. You blur your line. Then, sometimes, something happens that forces you to…

If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything. Do you know what you stand for, or are you following the crowd? Safety in numbers. It’s easy to be a sheep. Not everyone is a warrior. Though how do you know unless you find out? Alas! A warrior, like it or not, is what…

Some words, once spoken, can’t be taken back. When a piece of information is shared or revealed, it’s very difficult to hide it again. Collectively, we are on a timeline where, for some, the truth is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish. Meanwhile, for others, there’s never been any question about the difference between a lie…

There are three things that can never be hidden – the Sun, the Moon, and the truth. Some truths can be buried for a long time, seemingly forever banished. A hidden truth is akin to a lie. It torments. It infects. It taints. It grows until it becomes a beast that consumes you. Every lie…

History tends to demonstrate that humans aren’t too fond of change. Sure, we progress and adapt over time and with technology, but do we fundamentally change? Not much. Rather than change and actively work towards a better future, we tend to dwell on the past. Make sure things are great again. The good ol’ days,…

We’ve finally arrived at the point on the astrological timeline many would prefer to avoid: Mars retrograde in Cancer.  Not unlike any other astrological occurrence, you can choose to meet this head-on and remain open to the learning opportunity it provides. Another option is to whine and moan about it and eventually complain that nothing…

This week, social media feeds across the internet will be bursting at the seams with “new year, new me” posts. Self-improvement and lofty goals are always a good thing. However, what about self-acceptance? What would life feel like if you met it in the moment, from exactly where you are? Psychologist Carl Rogers said, “The…

The rhythms of nature are completely cyclic. Nothing operates in a linear fashion. This is something to keep in mind if you’re holding your breath until 2025. While you might be excited to bring in the New Year and its stellar configurations, it would be worth your while to reflect on the year that’s been…

The turning of the Sun marks a significant turning point of light. In the Northern Hemisphere, the light of the Sun will embark upon its ascent of increased light that will peak in June’s Summer Solstice. While in the South, the Sun’s arrival in Capricorn sees the slow descent into shorter days and longer nights.…

Grief is the price you pay for love. War is the price you pay for peace. Discipline is the price you pay for freedom. Nothing in life is free. Few people are willing to pay the price for what they want. Do they even know what they want?  People think they know what they want,…

Some things can’t be hidden, such as the Moon, the Sun, and the stars. Try as it might, the truth also cannot be hidden, at least not forever. This is very much about this new era. As the systems and structures embedded in society’s fabric increasingly reveal their irrelevance, we will all handle this period…
