THE STORY

“Have you not heard of the man who was digging in the earth for roots and found a treasure?”

- from The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran

☆

I dreamt about northwestern Italy, a town called le torrino. That’s what I remembered in the morning, that’s what I wrote in my dream journal.

An hour or so later, a friend texted me. She had just completed a virtual session with a client in Italy.

Italy! I said.

Milan, she specified.

I looked at a map, saw that Milan is in northwest Italy, and then I saw - due west of Milan, even more clearly in northwestern Italy - the city of Turin.

I looked it up: Turin or - as it’s known in Italian - Torino.

See if there’s an asteroid, I heard, so I Googled, “torino asteroid.”

And while there isn’t an asteroid named Torino, there is THE TORINO SCALE, which is the system scientists use to categorize Near Earth Objects (NEOs). NEOs like asteroids and comets, like the asteroid Bennu - that golden diamond in the sky I wrote about in November. The Torino Scale measures the potential risk these objects have of colliding into Earth.

Earth formed 4.5 billion years ago when gas and dust in our solar system - leftover from the formation of the sun - started swirling together, colliding. Star remnants joining forces to form something bigger and bigger and bigger - gravity enveloping them - until there was the planet Earth.

Earth - the only planet in our solar system that’s not named after a god or goddess. The name Earth comes from the Germanic word for “ground.”

As if everything up there is above us - like the gods - but here, on Earth, we are grounded, below.

But we are up there, just like all of the other planets, spinning in space, encircling the sun, made from the same star stuff. Gas and dust, remnants from long ago.

Earth was born from collisions of star stuff. And after forming, during its early years, Earth was bombarded by meteor showers. Here on Earth, you can find pieces of rock from the moon, Mars, Vesta, and more. Other planets, right here. Meteors crashing down, leaving pieces of other planets behind, and sending pieces of the earth out into space. Leading scientists in 1971 to find, on the moon, what they think is the oldest solid rock from Earth, dated to 4.0111 billion years ago. A piece of our planet, up there, on the moon.

Stars spinning still, colliding still, evolving still.

All of our matter - the cells in your body, the air that your breathe, your very existence - was born from the evolution of star stuff. That gas and dust that first swirled together some 4.5 billion years ago, evolving in time to form your hand now.

Your right hand. Full of stars.

☆

Did the individual pieces of matter that evolved to form YOU all come from Earth? Did it all start here? Or did some of it arrive on Earth from elsewhere, through many collisions billions of years ago?

I don’t know.

We don’t know.

Torino. From the Latin, Augusta Taurinorum, which evolved to become Taurinum, which evolved to become Torino, which then arrived in the English speaking world to become Turin.

How do things unfold, in which hands do they change shape, who molds what when? Who or what?

☆

On the same night that I dreamt of wanting to go to Torino, I dreamt that I was writing a movie. The movie was titled The Seven Sisters, and I was writing about a main character. Mary? I think that was it. I wrote the name in my dream journal.

When I woke in the morning, I wondered what the seven sisters were. I was familiar with the colleges - seven originally all-female institutions, one of which I attended - but it felt like there was something more to this. That it wasn’t just a nod to my alma mater.

So I Googled again, and I was immediately led to a series of books called The Seven Sisters, the first of which featured the sister Maia. Maia! I remembered, was the name of the Greek goddess I mentioned in November.

As a reminder: Maia was the mother of Hermes, the woman who birthed the hermetic child. The hermetic child being the final stage of alchemical evolution, the stage of internal union between the sun and moon, yin and yang. The stage that leads (metaphorically) to the philosopher’s stone (immortality) within alchemical science. And Maia, whose name means growth, is found in the planets in the asteroid Maja, which was named after her.

I looked at my chart. On the very day I had this dream about The Seven Sisters, the asteroid Maja was exactly conjunct (in the exact same place) as my sun...which also happens to be exactly where Maja was when I was born.

We are growing.

Okay, I wondered...where is all this going…

The Seven Sisters books were inspired by the star cluster known as The Pleiades. And while I’d heard of The Pleiades before, I’d never really looked into them. Many people in the new age/spiritual world claim to channel messages from these stars, but most of those claims haven’t sat well with my bullshit detector, and I’ve remained skeptical about most of what’s out there about them. But here I was….dreaming about the seven sisters.

Are these stars actually important?

I started researching them. Learned that they are in the constellation Taurus. Taurus as in Taurinorum, Taurinum, Torino.

And The Pleiades - otherwise known as the seven sisters - are in the NORTHWEST of the constellation Taurus…like the city of Torino, in northwest Italy.

And the symbol for the city of Torino? It’s a bull. Just like the symbol for Taurus is a bull, just like the shape of its namesake constellation. (Taurus, the word, is Latin for bull.)

But why is Taurus coming up? I wondered on January 18th, as I woke from my dream about Torino and The Seven Sisters. Aquarius Season was starting the next day. This is Aquarius Season. Aquarius, the sign of the water bearer. The water bearer, who in mythology, was a prince, living on Mount Ida, when Zeus transformed himself into a large bird and flew down to the mountain, picked up the boy, and carried him up to heaven from Earth.

(Quick note: I somehow just read this story of Aquarius for the first time at the end of January. Any similarities between this and the many bird imagery and being flown to heaven messages I received in dreams and shared in previous Guides is not a coincidence but is also something that was by no means consciously constructed by me…)

The bird carried the water bearer up to the heavens. And from there, from up high, Aquarius pours its wisdom down to Earth. The stars of heaven running from its cup. The cup runneth over, onto us.

Here we are. In Aquarius Season, so why is Taurus coming up? I wondered at the end of January, remembered that Mars and Uranus were going to be perfectly conjunct in the sign of Taurus on January 20th - in just two days.

What I wrote in January:

“Mars stays in Taurus through March 3rd, and this Mars transit marks the start of a massive weaving of energy throughout the first three months of 2021 that is called The Great Doing.”

It starts as Mars moves through Taurus, the sign of rooting energy - poured from the heavens - into the earth.

And it is secured - A BIG GATEWAY OPENS - as Mars moves through THE GOLDEN GATE OF THE ECLIPTIC, starting at the end of this month.

Yes. Yes, we are in The Great Doing now.

☆

The Golden Gate of the Ecliptic is an asterism in the constellation of Taurus. An asterism is a pattern of stars, similar to a constellation or a cluster but there are technical differences not worth getting into right now. What’s important is that this grouping of stars has been observed for thousands of years. It falls along the ecliptic, which is the plane of the earth’s orbit around the sun. Basically an invisible line marking the path - as seen from Earth - that the sun appears to move around the earth.

The Golden Gate is a group of stars that shine on this plane. And on either side of the gate - marking the gate like two posts - are two open star clusters. They’ve been observed like this for thousands of years - the two star clusters as posts, marking the entrance to THE GOLDEN GATE.

On one side of the gate are The Pleiades.

On the other side of the gate are The Hyades. The Hyades were named after another group of sisters. And while their exact number has varied in the story’s retelling over the years, ancient mythology puts the count at seven. Like The Pleiades, The Hyades were named after seven sisters. Sisters who were actually half sisters of The Pleiades.

The Golden Gate - framed by Seven Sisters on one side and Seven Sisters on the other.

77. The number I always associate with the Midas touch, turning everything to gold.

☆

Like silver, turning to gold. Like alchemy, which I wrote about in October, for Harvest Season, for the Harvest full moon on October 1st and all that followed.

“Alchemy: the seemingly magical transmutation of matter.”

On October 1st, I ordered a bottle of wine. A bottle I’d never ordered before, but my intuition guided me, told me: click on the syrahs, get that one, add to cart, order, send. When the bottle arrived, I noticed it looked different from the picture on the app. It didn’t have a crown on the label. Instead, the image was focused on a big silver key. I put the bottle on the bar to open later.

Later, I was walking in front of the bar, when suddenly I realized, the key looked gold. I walked back and forth in front of the key. When I passed it in one direction, it turned silver. When I passed it in another, it turned gold. The key reminded me of alchemy, silver turning to gold. It was a special effect built into the label. Something I’d never seen before on a bottle and completely unbeknownst to me about this bottle when I ordered it. And as I walked in front of it, saw the key turning from silver to gold, it reminded me of March - of the Virgo full moon on March 9, 2020. That’s when I walked in front of the TV in my bedroom, and it just turned on. Then, I walked in front of it again, and it turned off. It kept going like this. One direction: on. One direction: off. The remote controls were resting undisturbed on my husband’s nightstand. No one else was home. I tested the TV. I crawled in front of it so that my body was beneath it versus right in front of it when I crossed. In those moments, the TV did not turn on or off, but the moment I stood upright and crossed in front, the TV responded to me. Something about me was turning the TV on and off.

The seemingly magical transmutation of matter.

The Harvest moon on October 1, 2020, grew from both the Aries new moon energy on March 24, 2020, and the Virgo new moon energy on September 17, 2020. Virgo and Aries working together, both times: in spring and fall of 2020. And here we are, in February of 2021, approaching the Virgo full moon on February 27th. The coming full moon is growing from the Virgo new moon on September 17, 2020, and the Aquarius new moon coming on February 11th.

On the last Virgo full moon, the TV magically turned on and off. And then on Harvest full moon on October 1st (connected to the Virgo new moon), the key on the bottle echoed this same idea: the magical transmutation of matter.

“There's an electrical hum in most animals, including ourselves. No one knows where it came from or why exactly it exists. New research suggests this electric hum came from primordial lightning...Around the planet, flashes of lightning strike the ground 50 to 100 times per second. These strikes have been known since the 1960s to create extremely low frequency waves of electromagnetic energy that resonate around the planet's atmosphere. Known as Schumann resonances, these ELF waves have encircled the planet for billions of years — ever since Earth has had an atmosphere. While the strongest resonance is at a frequency close to 8 Hz, several others occur between 3 and 60 Hz. Today, Schumann resonances can be measured anywhere on Earth that is electrically quiet, such as in a desert, far from electrical grids. The new theory proposes primordial cells may have somehow synced their electric activity with these natural atmospheric resonances, particularly the peak resonance near 8 Hz. Such synchronization isn't uncommon. We synchronize our circadian rhythm to days and seasons; and many species navigate off Earth's magnetic field...Today, not all life vibrates at exactly the Schumann resonance. The researchers suggest that while early life was synced at around 8 Hz, the cellular activity in animals slowly drifted to other frequencies as the animals evolved, with different frequencies being used for different types of activity in the brain.  For example, specific frequencies in human brain waves have been linked to specific mental states such as alertness, dreaming and deep sleep. The Schumann resonance is closest to frequencies found in humans' deep relaxed state, suggesting primordial life could have been in a state similar to deep relaxation.” - Abridged summary of a paper released in the International Journal of Biometeorology that was released February 8, 2020 (the Leo full moon).

I just discovered this paper last month, in January, and was in awe of the fact that it echoed direct messages I channeled on March 16, 2020, shortly after the incident with the TV. Then, I channeled directly about how The Field works that we are moving through and what the idea of vibration is really about (the high/low vibe stuff found in so much spiritual speak has never sat right with me, and I’m on a bit of a mission to uncover what’s really going on with this). This is far too big of a topic to fully go into right now (it’s going into a book I’m writing), but for now, I’ll say: It’s not as simple as high and low (and from my research to date, I’ll say that there actually seems to be a lot of POWER in certain lower frequencies), but again, it’s not about high and low. It’s about HARMONIZING.

WE MUST SYNCHRONIZE WITH THE EARTH’S RHYTHM. This is God’s rhythm.

☆

In October, I celebrated the harvest with a glass of wine from the alchemical bottle. Two days later, I was guided down the rabbit hole, out into space, into the magical world of over a million known asteroids. Intuitively guided to asteroid after asteroid, being shown how to trust working with this greater story of the cosmos (you can read about this in November). And on that day, when I was first guided out to the asteroids, the last asteroid I was guided to was Nysa. 

On that very day, the asteroid was Nysa was in the exact same spot where it was when I was born: right on my rising. Nysa is named after the mythological mountain where Dionysus was raised. Dionysus was the god of the grape HARVEST, wine, and spiritual ecstasy (the bliss you feel when you’re completely in sync). The name I gave that harvest full moon? Ecstasy Elevates.

At the time, I thought this was all pretty wild. Dionysus! Wine! Nysa on my Nysa! Bliss! Ecstasy! But now...I see it was so much more. Because those Hyades I mentioned a bit ago - the seven sisters that guard one side of The Golden Gate? Well, it turns out that they are the nymphs that lived on Nysa and raised Dionysus.

In Greek mythology, the Pleiades and the Hyades were both nymphs. And ever since October, I’ve been guided to various things about nymphs again and again. I couldn’t figure out why. It felt completely unrelated to anything, but now, here we are, in February, Mars approaching The Golden Gate, guarded by nymphs - nature spirits - that were tossed into the sky to become stars (as the story goes).

And as we live through this month - the month of February 2021 - we will be experiencing the culmination of Harvest Season from October. This culmination begins at the end of the month and continues through the beginning of March. It’s all coming with the Virgo full moon and Mars’ grand crossing through the Golden Gate.

☆

On one side of the gate are The Pleiades (spanning between approximately 0 and 2 degrees Gemini) and on the other side of the gate are The Hyades (spanning between approximately 5 and 9 degrees Gemini). Now, why are they in Gemini and not in Taurus when the actual star clusters are in the constellation Taurus? Well, that’s because western astrology divorced itself from the actual astronomical placement of the constellations hundreds of years ago.

This is a long story, but in short, the western system PINNED DOWN the constellations, spreading them across the calendar year and aligning them with time versus space. This means that in western astrology (which is the astrological system I use), the planets and their relationship to each other (conjunctions, etc.) are always completely astronomically, scientifically sound, BUT the placement within the zodiac is always off by about 23 degrees compared to where the physical constellation is in space. So...how the heck is it so accurate when there’s this discrepancy? Well...that’s because western astrology is very much a combination of SCIENCE and MAGIC. A bridge between the two.

THEY PINNED THE SIGNS DOWN IN TIME.

The science in astrology is in the relationship between the planets, the moon phases, the eclipses, etc. The magic is in the storytelling. The story that says “this period of time is associated with this zodiac sign” and “this planet is associated with this god.” There’s a story in the sign and a story for the god, and the Story weaves together through divination in much the same way that tarot cards tell a story through the images and stories ascribed to each card and how the cards relate to each other. Astrology is both about the message (from spirit) and the matter (according to science). It’s a bridge between Heaven and Earth, and it works because magic is a part of nature. Heaven is a part of Earth. We just haven’t figured it out yet.

SO, The Pleiades and The Hyades, which reside in the constellation Taurus but are represented in the sign of Gemini, will be crossed by Mars as part of The Great Doing at the beginning of March. We’ll be feeling it by the end of February, with the Virgo full moon.

Mars will first cross The Pleiades - the seven sisters - before passing fully through the golden gate and crossing The Hyades.

And the stars in The Hyades form the shape of a V:

What I wrote in January:

“I dreamt I was lifted from the street to the sky by a flock of birds in the shape of a V...The V for Victory…”

I dreamt I was lifted from the surface of the Earth up into another land where we were all angels. For the sake of convenience now, I’ll call this land Heaven.

The prince - the Aquarian water bearer - was lifted by a bird, from the mountain up to heaven, to be with the gods.

We are transcending now. 

We’ve been transcending.

What I wrote in September, with the Virgo new moon:

“This period of time aligns our destiny with Psyche’s transcendent energy, and with this new moon, we begin our transcendence.”

What I wrote in October:

“The first Psyche/north node conjunction starts with the harvest moon, reaching its peak on the 6th [of October]. THIS IS WHEN YOU REALLY RISE SHINING. This is the start of the big shine that “began” with the Virgo new moon...the new moon that planted the seeds for the Virgo full moon that is coming at the end of February...setting the stage for the final Psyche/north node conjunction on March 6th.

When I think of these conjunctions, I see a short staircase leading to a platform, a stage, and it’s like with each conjunction, you take another step higher. Step by step, you rise. Rise to become the person you always have been. Rise in alignment with your SOUL, that part of you that is golden, immortal, constant, never changing. Rise to shine, brighter than the sun.”

And on March 6th, after the final Psyche/north node conjunction? That’s when Mars crosses the threshold, past The Pleiades, and into The Golden Gate.

We are all getting ready now, to take that final step higher, to walk through into a whole new world, changed.

And all of this talk about The Golden Gate is reminding me of the big messages I got for A GATE at the end of August 2020. That gate sent us through the PORTAL OF DESTINY to deliver us to a whole new world. The new world I kept saying was coming in September, and it’s true, it started then (think back, what was new for you then?). But like with all moon cycles, we’re really looking at a 6 month stretch. The Portal of Destiny was with the Leo new moon at the end of August. The Leo full moon came on January 28, 2021, delivering the final push for us THROUGH THE PORTAL OF DESTINY. As in, WE ARE STILL MOVING THROUGH IT RIGHT NOW. At the start of February, as the Leo full moon energy ripples and we build to the Aquarius new moon.

MORE TO COME about The Golden Gate and the Virgo full moon as we move through this story, but for now, let’s focus on the BIG MAGIC MANIFESTATION energy that sets us up. The Aquarius new moon.

☆

GET READY.

☆

Sidenote: The last time the moon was full in Virgo and the TV magically turned on and off, NASA warned that an asteroid was heading towards Earth at 17,000 mph. They warned that if it shifted its trajectory at all, it would likely crash into Earth or explode in the sky. Thankfully, it didn’t do either. Instead, here in NYC, another tragedy struck: the crown virus shutdown that has altered our life ever since. After that moon, things have never been the same.

☆

GET READY

☆

We finish traveling through the Portal of Destiny over the first 10 days of February.

The only other really big thing happening then is that on February 1st, Venus moves from Capricorn and into Aquarius.

This adds another heavy hitter - energetically speaking - to the group of planets and asteroids currently crowding Aquarian sky space (or, as you now understand: time, not space).

We’ve got the sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn ALL IN AQUARIUS. Not to mention a bunch of asteroids too.

In astrology, the main “planets” that are always tracked are: the sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Basically the OG solar system that you were taught in grade school, before Pluto was downgraded to a dwarf planet and in a world where we all pretend that the sun and moon are planets and not a giant star and a natural satellite. MY POINT IS: in February, five of the ten main “planets” are all in Aquarius! That’s half. And on the Aquarius new moon...the moon will be joining that group, making it more than half of the primary planets will be in Aquarius.

This month, we get a HUGE RUSH OF AQUARIAN ENERGY.

This is a massive immersion of our souls into the cosmic web of WISDOM. BIG IDEAS ARE BORN, and we are shown the power of our minds as THE CUP RUNNETH OVER.

There is PLENTY TO GO AROUND. Money flows freely and easily. This is about a big redistribution of resources and an embrace of abundance and plenty. We will start to see more of this now.

Exchanges are less emotional and more intellectual, aligned with the great cosmic web of wisdom. MORALITY is understood as a natural law and not as something that is taught or felt.

“The high is lowered.
The low is raised.”

☆

The moon moves into Aquarius, joining all of the other planets, on February 9th. Then, on February 11, 2020, the Aquarius new moon officially arrives as the sun and moon conjunct at 23°17’.

There is a lot happening on this moon, but to fully understand, we must travel back into the dream world, to the time when we are often most easily aligned with God’s rhythm:

On December 8th, I dreamt about LeBron James. I was told in the dream that we were similar in a very specific way: we could both hold a vision in our mind and then walk through it in reality.

When I woke up, I immediately felt called to look up his astrology, and when I did, I noticed right away that his Venus is at 25 degrees Aquarius, which is exactly where my Mars is.

I then heard: “Look up the 25th degree of Aquarius.” So I did, and right away, I landed on a source I’d never seen before, detailing specifics for each degree of the zodiac.

The 25th degree of Aquarius: “At a spinning wheel, dreams and visions are being spun into realities.”

I was in awe of the blatant echoing of the message from my dream and the description of this zodiac degree, and the message continued to unfold for days, confirming itself again and again. Including in silly ways, like when a friend sent me the song Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In because she kept hearing it in her head, and I actually paid attention to the lyrics, “When the moon is in the 7th house and Jupiter aligns with Mars.” And only upon hearing this, did I reflect on the fact that since Jupiter is in Aquarius for the first time in 12 years, it will cross my Mars this year. It’ll cross that 25th degree.

Last month, I shared how The Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn on December 21st marked the first time that these two planets were conjunct in the sign of Aquarius since January 17, 1405. And on that day in 1405, Jupiter and Saturn were conjunct at 23°48’, and it does not feel like a coincidence that I was alerted to the 25th degree (just slightly more than one degree away from 23°48’, and in astrological terms, this is nearly exact), and it definitely does not feel like a coincidence that this last big Aquarian conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn happened at the same place that this Aquarius new moon is happening: 23°17’.

It’s all connected.

All that’s spinning around 25 degrees of Aquarius, that pivotal point of weaving reality.

Reality, woven through time, threads from the past connecting with threads in the present, threads in the future, all of it spread out in totality as one intricately woven textile that is all of time all at once happening right now.

What does it mean to weave reality from the vision in your mind? Perhaps it’s like fractals. Like what you see in your mind is the same shape as the larger sight you will see with your eyes when you open them.

And this year, Jupiter will not just cross the 25th degree, but it will cross the 25th degree three times, retrograding across it. And the last time Jupiter was in Aquarius (January 6, 2009 - January 17, 2010), it also retrograded over the 25th degree of Aquarius! Crossing it three times then as well.

What I channeled about Jupiter in Aquarius in December:

You get a gift! You get a gift! You get a gift!

Three times.

Reflect back to 2009: what gifts were you given?

As I slept through the early hours of January 18th - ten nights after I dreamt about Lebron and the day before Jupiter entered Aquarius - I was told in my dreams that all of this is in service of peace. Peace on Earth. That as Jupiter moves forward, crossing the 25th degree and then moves backwards back across the 25th degree only to move forward again over the 25th degree, PEACE is woven. Stitched and secured -  back and forth across the 25th degree - into our reality. This weaving accounts for most of 2021. From March through early December.

This is what is coming after The Great Doing: the weaving of peace.

And this Aquarius new moon - the one that sets the stage for the next six months, building to the Aquarius full moon in August - sets the stage for this weaving, for harnessing the power of your individual and our collective VISION to shape the world we live in, to create something new, to bring forth the new age of Peace on Earth, Heaven on Earth.

But you have to believe.

You have to believe.

You have to believe.

You have to believe.

☆

Okay, so this Aquarius new moon is helping us weave an important thread in the fabric of reality on our way to Heaven on Earth. NBD. And here is EVERYTHING ELSE happening with this new moon:

1. The moon, sun, Pallas Athena, and Hekate are conjunct.

   Pallas represents YOUR GENIUS and is named after the goddess Athena, who just happened to be (amongst other things) the goddess of WEAVERS, and Hekate represents witchcraft. So really, these two asteroids (which are RIGHT ON THE NEW MOON) are just doubling down on the fact that this moon is about THE GENIUS OF WEAVING MAGIC.

2. Mercury is also conjunct the new moon. Falling between it and Jupiter, conjuncting them both.

   This new moon brings another BIG EXPANSION IN COMMUNICATION. Granted, Mercury is retrograde right now, but it’s going direct within the Aquarius new moon energy and this retrograde is really about you gaining a new understanding of your mind and its power! So of course, you are learning about this power with this great envisioning, manifesting moon!

3. Jupiter is conjunct Venus.

   This brings a huge expansion of LOVE. Venus being the goddess of love. And Jupiter being The King. Love, abundance, these are all flowing on this moon. What will this actually look like for you? Well, as you’re learning about the great envisioning powers of your consciousness, you are of course expanding your awareness about exchange - the giving and receiving between you and the world you are a part of. Manifestation IS exchange. And it’s amplified right now. And not going to lie, this also just feels like money. Money and opportunities to make more money may arrive in magical ways right now.

4. Chiron conjuncts MIDAS, Persephone, and Kalliope.

   So what I was just saying about money….this new moon gives you the Midas Touch. Over the next six months, you’ll really start to understand what this means. And depending on where you are in your own connection with manifestation, this can show up right now as a wounding to teach you a lesson or a big boon as a reward for how much healing you’ve already done. As a reminder, healing is only ever a return to yourself, not a fixing. Wounding is only ever a layer of armor that you wear between your true self and the rest of the world. And when you “experience a wounding” you may want to throw on even more armor to protect yourself, but if you really want to make the most of this moon, drop the armor and let any pain move through you. This is how you heal. This how you learn that you never needed the armor in the first place and are safe surviving without it. Quick note about Persephone and Kalliope: Persephone gives your shadow self a big hug. Helps you know your power in the dark and the light and your ability to create growth by honoring both the dark and light. This helps you RISE by knowing and seeing all of you. And Kalliope? She’s a writing muse! Which is interesting because another asteroid that’s conjunct the sun, moon, Athena, and Hekate is Gutemberga (as in, The Gutenberg Press). So for any fellow writers/publishers out there, this is a powerful time for you! And a powerful time for all of us to harmonize our speech.

5. All of this is happening while the north node of the moon (a.k.a. The destiny point) is at 17 degrees Gemini. 17, another sign of victory.

With this new moon, you achieve a victory in the direction of your destiny!

☆

The Aquarius new moon energy keeps growing from February 11th to February 26th and onwards still through August.

☆

A week after the new moon, on February 18th, Aquarius Season officially comes to a close as the sun moves into Pisces, but don’t forget that in many ways, this whole year is An Aquarian Year. Aquarius energy is still playing a big role, even when the sun is in other signs.

That said, because we’ve been hit with such an intense concentration of Aquarius energy (necessary), it’ll likely feel like a sweet sigh of relief when the sun moves into Pisces, allowing our egos to soften a bit as we feel a little less focused and driven around the big ideas and allow ourselves to simply fade into the big body of all that is.

After all, everything that you’ve been working so hard on? It was never about you! Yes, you maybe needed to give yourself a lot of attention and care in order to take the actions you were guided to take. Maybe you needed to focus on yourself in order to elevate your message and accomplish what you are here to accomplish, but you know - YOU KNOW - that it was never about you. It was about Us. All of us. The big collective swirl of existence in which you and I are simply playing our respective roles.

If you’ve been feeling a little selfish lately because Aquarius asked you to set firm boundaries to get shit done, now’s the time to release that guilt! (Really, there was no need to ever be carrying it, but just in case you were…) Everything you are doing is guided. It is for us all. God is working through you to help you take action during The Great Doing, and now that the sun’s in Pisces, you really get to FEEL how you’ve been working for the collective.

Aquarian energy - while being more intellectual and less emotional - is actually ALWAYS working on behalf of others. SERVING THE COMMUNITY. And often, if you really want to serve, you can’t be letting your mind get sucked into your emotions. You have to stay clear in your mind so you can act.

You will continue to have to do this, in Pisces. But the beauty of Pisces is that you will be feeling your feelings more, but not attaching to them. Versus Aquarius, which is more inclined to put the feelings in one box and the ideas in another box. Pisces can hold the ideas and the feels together while still not letting the feelings bog you down.

With the sun in Pisces, we are all able to start really integrating the spiritual meaning behind the work we’re doing right now in The Great Doing. Allowing ourselves to feel its weight as well as know it.

What have you been called to DO so far in 2021? Take some time to reflect on this now.

☆

The 18th also marks a powerful day in our collective rebirth! The asteroid Renate (discussed in The Special Issue) is perfectly conjunct the destiny point. Just as it was on the Cancer full moon on December 29th, except this time - it isn’t retrograde! We are really starting to feel our rebirth now, our entrance to Heaven on Earth.

☆

On February 20th, Mercury goes direct in Aquarius, which feels like a big BOOM ON YOUR CROWN. Like a big rush of energy at the top of your head. Like something going boom. I don’t know how else to explain it. This is what it feels like. Like epiphanies, like a-ha! Like HOLY SHIT! I GET IT NOW.

The last time Mercury was retrograde was in the fall. It entered its retrograde shadow at the end of September, in the Virgo new moon energy, and it then went retrograde in the Harvest Moon energy in October.

That was an extra special magical Mercury retrograde, much like this one. Back in September, I wrote about how the retrograde then connected with The Eleusinian Mysteries, and this week, as I’ve been writing this, The Eleusinian Mysteries have come up randomly multiple times! An echo to the fact that February is connected to Harvest Season and also a reminder that this latest Mercury retrograde was yet another initiation into the mysteries.

You have just been given another piece of the mystery.

With Mercury now direct, give yourself some space to reflect on what this cycle has taught you, to rest and process.

As a reminder, Mercury entered its retrograde shadow on January 15th. It went retrograde on January 30th, and oh yeah, it went retrograde at 26 degrees Aquarius...meaning that it just wove its way over the 25th degree just like Jupiter will do later this year.

How has this Mercury retrograde granted you greater peace of mind

Mercury is in its retrograde shadow and continues the cycle through March 12th. Now’s the time to make sure all of the decisions you made over the last month are still aligned with this newfound PEACE.

☆

Speaking of the magical 25th degree of Aquarius, on February 21st, Venus conjuncts the 25th degree along with Hekate and Pallas Athena.

This is a BIG DAY for seeing the power of the Aquarius new moon vision work. The asteroid Pele (the goddess who reshapes the earth) is just one degree over and will be conjunct the 25th degree on the 23rd.

All of this big manifestation energy is building to the Virgo full moon on the 27th.

☆

But before we can get to that, a quick note that on February 25th, Venus follows the sun into Pisces, lightening the intensity of Aquarian energy even more.

Venus in Pisces really amps the dreamy, spiritual nature of things, and it can help us sink into that state of deep relaxation, syncing with the earth. But in order to really accomplish this, you must also stay grounded in your SELF. Boundaries can get a little fuzzy with Pisces energy. In part, this is a natural consequence of the fact that all boundaries are ultimately an illusion. We are all one. Pisces brings an increased awareness of this interconnectivity, and this awareness is a gift! It allows you to feel the love and beauty of the whole body, but also, remember: your ego is your friend! Nothing wrong with experiencing yourself as an individual, doing what you need to do for you, and listening to the I inside that helps guide you through the big web of all that is and helps you make sure that you’re doing what you need to do for ALL OF US.

☆

And we’re finally here. The full moon at the end of the month that I couldn’t help start the month by talking about because holy crap, WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN?

Big things?! I think BIG THINGS.

I’m hearing, HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! Hallelujah, hallelujah, hall-e-lujah!

You know the song right? Not Leonard Cohen, but the other one. Well, I went to go find it on Spotify right now. There was only one version of it, and tbh, it was pretty terrible, BUT the name of the album? Jeff Tincher’s New Heaven New Earth.

Which I can’t help but think is a lovely sign and wink to ALL OF US about what this full moon has in store.

The Virgo full moon arrives at 3:17 AM EST on February 27, 2021, as the sun and the moon conjunct at 8°57’ Virgo.

Okay, so I’m trying to write this for you but honestly, I’m just laughing right now. That’s what’s coming through my channel just ALL THIS JOY AND GLEE AND EXCITEMENT AND LEVITY. And it makes me want to sing all the songs and dance all the dances until I collapse onto my bed smiling about how big and wonderful and magical this whole damn world is. Like seriously, WHAT IS THIS WORLD? I don’t really know. Do you? If so, hit me up. Tell me your secrets.

Okay, okay, deep breaths so I can actually finish this thing for you!

I love you. Thanks for your patience while I did a happy dance.

So, this full moon. This is the BIG, BEAUTIFUL BLOOMING of the Virgo new moon that happened on September 17th.

17. 17.

Reflect back on that time in your life now. What happened for you around September 17th?

Return to the September Issue for the full overview about what that moon was about, but in short: The Virgo new moon helped you embrace your TRUE self, which is to say - ALL OF YOU. All of your many masks - all aspects of God - that live inside you. The new moon helped you unify them inside your being so you can TRANSCEND. A complete metamorphosis into the most authentic expression of your SOUL that you’ve experienced to date.

What I channeled in September:

The Virgo new moon births the cosmic mother.

What I channeled in December:

The underworld is the cosmic mother.

Yes, the underworld is DARK and FIERY. But those flames? THEY ARE THE FLAMES OF TRUTH AND THEY WILL ONLY BURN YOU IF YOU ARE CLINGING TO ILLUSION.

When you live fully in flow with truth, the pain disappears.

And on this full moon, you arrive in TRUTH. The full truth of WHO YOU ARE. You have journeyed into the underworld of your being to RISE SHINING.

Shining in the shimmering glow of flecks of dark and light - intermingled, dancing with each other - as you embody the truth of all that is you.

One of the things I learned this week when The Eleusinian Mysteries came up again was that The Mysteries were separated into the lesser and greater mysteries. The Lesser Mysteries were all about Persephone returning to Earth. They were the mysteries of springtime and light and joy and earthly stuff. But The Greater Mysteries? You could only gain access to those by going INTO THE UNDERWORLD.

What mysteries have you uncovered since September? What do you know now - about yourself, the world, whatever it is - that you didn’t know then? Reflect.

On this Virgo full moon, Saturn conjuncts Mnemosyne (the goddess of memory). This is a powerful time for REMEMBERING THE MYSTERIES OF THE UNDERWORLD. Remembering yourself fully. Teaching yourself about it. Learning. Maybe even teaching others. This remembrance will unfold over the next two weeks.

Also on this full moon - wink to writers - Gutemberga (asteroid 777) conjuncts the 25th degree of Aquarius. Is there something you’ve been wanting to share? A blog post? A letter? A note? A book? SHARE IT.

So much more happening so just stick with me.

Eros conjuncts Juno at 18 degrees Sagittarius. This is HUGE for love and partnerships of all varieties. Eros is Cupid. And Juno is the marriage asteroid. New partnerships will be forged. Love will be found, appreciated, experienced.

Faith will be restored.

LET YOURSELF FEEL ALL THE PLEASURE.

Truth conjuncts Lilith. THE TRUTH IS YOU ARE WILD. We are wild. This world is wild. Be your wild self. All of you. You will be. That’s what this moment is for. There is no other way.

You are being reborn and transcending! This is your destiny now. The destiny point conjuncts Renate (to be reborn) and Psyche (to transcend). YOU ARE BECOMING GOLDEN. I know this has been an ongoing message, and you’ve already gotten glimpses of this! Just how golden you are. Little pieces, but now, YOU GET MORE. Glowing, glowing golden.

The full moon itself conjuncts the asteroid GOLD! This moon brings a review of just how golden you are! For you to feel the goldenness of Spirit moving through you (the moon) and expressing yourself fully here on Earth (Virgo).

You have been made PURE, VIRGINAL. Exactly as you always were underneath, before life and lessons came in and taught you all the ways to not be yourself. (reminder that virginal does not mean chaste!)

YOU WERE ALWAYS GOLDEN.

The Virgo full moon opposes the Pisces sun, which conjuncts the asteroid Ra-Shalom. Ra-Shalom is an asteroid of bright sun energy and PEACE. It was named to commemorate the Camp David Peace Accords.

This full moon aligns your Self with PEACE and your emotional body with GOLDEN EARTH.

Just in time for Mars to cross the The Pleiades on March 5th, for Psyche to perfectly conjunct the destiny point on March 6th, for Mars to cross The Golden Gate...it’s all happening in March...in the energy of the Virgo full moon.

☆

At the end of February, with the Virgo full moon, Saturn conjuncts Mnemosyne. Mnemosyne and the asteroid Jubilatrix.

We remember joy now. We remember it in our bodies. Here, on Earth.

We could always be in heaven now. If we wanted to. If we only realized it was never meant to be a reward, but a reality.

☆

On the night of January 23rd, just as Saturn and the sun were perfectly conjuncting in Aquarius for the first time since 1992, my husband and I were lying in bed. We pulled up the second season of Cosmos to watch the next episode before sleep. And the next episode? It just happened to be all about the planet Saturn.

I smiled as we lay there, learning about Saturn, as Saturn and the sun conjuncted.

I smiled as Neil Degrasse Tyson narrated an animated depiction of the scientist Giovanni Cassini’s life, told the story of his birth in Perinaldo, Italy.

I smiled when I looked up Perinaldo on a map, saw that it was just south of Turin, that you take road 717 to get there, and I smiled when I saw that Perinaldo is RIGHT BY - just 16 minutes from - Apricale. The small Italian town I had just seen in the episode of House Hunters International I decided to watch after waking from my dream about Torino and wanting to go to Italy.

And I smiled every time they showed Saturn from space. Every time, I thought, It’s golden. It’s literally golden. And of course, they had no idea that Saturn was golden when they named it after the god of the Golden Age.

And I smiled at the end of the episode, when they showed the spacecraft Cassini - named after Giovanni - showed it covered in a golden material, showed its final transmission to Earth after twenty years in space, showed it as it went on its final mission, diving into the planet Saturn to never again return to Earth.

And I smiled as I thought about how there still may be remnants of Cassini that didn’t completely burn up in Saturn’s atmosphere - tiny pieces or particles, matter from Earth - that are now on the planet Saturn.

Star stuff. Matter. All throughout space, traveling around from planet to planet.

Could something like this have ever happened on Earth? Perhaps.

On September 17, 2020, on the Virgo new moon, scientists found a spacecraft heading towards Earth. By November 8th, it was revolving around us like a moon. They eventually realized it was one of our own, a lost rocket booster from the Surveyor 2 mission that launched on September 20, 1966 (just six days after the 1966 Virgo new moon).

Surveyor 2 failed. It crashed into the moon. The experts suspect it’s up there still, but they never knew where the rocket booster went. Turns out, it’s just been lost in space all this time. But on the Virgo new moon, just three days before the 54th anniversary of its departure - it returned to circle Earth…for a time. It’ll stop and go back out into space - wandering - after it fully leaves Earth’s gravitational field in March, in the energy of the Virgo full moon.

Where will it go? Where has it been?

Where have we been? Where did we come from? Where will we go?

It’s all still unfolding.

But what we have figured out, at least for now - in this big swirl of a whole lot of mystery and books full of facts - is that you came from the stars, and I came from the stars, and everything here on Earth evolved from the dark, fiery void of space.

Creating, creating.

Evolving, evolving.

All of it, a piece of peace.

And now, for the rituals.
