At 7:31 pm PST tonight, the moon is new at 22° o At 7:31 pm PST tonight, the moon is new at 22° of Aries. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, a cardinal fire sign. Represented by the horny ram, Aries is all about instinct and will and impulsivity and daring. Without it, nothing can begin. With it in charge, it’s all beginnings all the time. At its unbridled extreme, Aries will fill you with the drunk confidence of a 2 year old who has mastered running but not stopping. You will have a direct line to your power and your wants and needs and less of a direct line to self control. We could use this new moon jolt of lifeforce and clarity. The question Aries can answer is - what would you want to do with your life, if what everyone else wanted, if what the dominant culture wanted, or your parents, or capitalism - if none of that factored in? What if you rejected all the projections of others? Who are you here to be? What wild thing do you feel like doing? What do you want to create next? What if you let your idea of yourself and what you’re capable of outgrow the small zone of safety and control? What if you let your ego inflate a little? Take some time today and tomorrow to honor the reset on offer. If you have some intentions, some new ideas you’d like to materialize, do some cardinal fire ritualing. If you are uncertain what those intentions might be now, take to the wilds inside or outside and listen to life snake / life force within you. Let it take the lead. Get a little (a lot?) freer.
The sun in Aries is in the degree of its exaltatio The sun in Aries is in the degree of its exaltation today - you might be feeling an instinct to shine, the rustling of some new project seeds. Your creative voice might be warmed up/warming up and feeling freer after a long freaked out winter. Or you might just be feeling your imagination responding to the field of possibilities that is widening again, a little each day. I have two workshops that start in May if you’re looking for a class or some magic art containment, and both include a culminating live show. I’ll be teaching a 6 week small group storytelling intensive on Zoom that begins on Tuesday, May 4, and there are still 6 spots left. The focus is on true, personal stories told live, one of the most riveting (!) art forms. Storytelling is also a potent tool for processing change, understanding ourselves more deeply, and articulating the ways the world has shaped us and the ways we wish to shape the world back. We could all use some of that. You might want in - the next chance to take this will be in late fall. If you’re looking to cook some new poems, I will also be teaching a 3 week poetry workshop with the Poetry Lab that starts Thursday, May 6 - it’s called Rooted, and it will be very Taurus, and if you know what that means this might be your workshop. If you don’t know, but want to know, this is also probably your workshop. Visit thecultofmindy.com for details and links to register for either workshop, or visit the bio link, and happy power of the sun-in-cardinal-fire day 🔥
Sunday at 11:48 AM PST, the moon is full at 8° o Sunday at 11:48 AM PST, the moon is full at 8° of Libra. Libra is ruled by Venus, the goddess of love and relationships, who just got a spiritual cleansing in the heart of the Aries sun and is feeling herself. Chiron is nearby, and in this context, might be helping us remember how to pour our own love back on to the parts of us that need it most. This all has a very victorious, harmonious vibe. A very the-angel-of-death-has-passed-over-us-let’s-celebrate-prayerfully vibe. Libra represents energies eternally balancing. It knows what is right and what is not and helps us adjust accordingly. In the process, it is also smoothing our rougher edges, teaching us how to care for our energy, sharpen our instincts, and exercise our power in the world with grace and precision. Take some time today to tune in to all that, to relax and recalibrate. What have you learned in the last six months about what keeps you in balance, even as the world around you goes to extremes? How have you survived? How have you kept the fire lit? You might also be experiencing a kind of joy grief. Tears of anguished relief. Funeral laughter. It is a full moon after all, and the light at the end of the pandemic tunnel is showing itself. It’s only now we can even begin to process what we’ve been through. We’ve all been changed, and we are still being changed, and it might be too soon to know exactly how. Harvest any insights that can be harvested. Get weird in your room. Let go of old expectations, lingering. Make loving space for the now. #fullmoon
Everything continues to be new this week, and in i Everything continues to be new this week, and in its newness, very early and mostly unknown. I’m trying not to ask my life too many invasive questions. I’m trying to just trust that I’ll get it eventually, and love that something is dawning after all this darkness and hardship and struggle. In that headspace 😂 I’ll be the featured poet tomorrow night for Two Idiots Peddling Poetry, the weekly open mic in Orange, California that is still happening weekly on the zoom space because of the tireless generosity of poets Steve Ramirez and Ben Trigg 💜💜💜💜 I’ll be reading only spring poems probably, all heart thaw and epiphany and grief sex and maybe some new shit still in process, you get it. You can sign up for the open mic list if you are planning to come, and then I can hear some of your poems too, I would love that. The links to sign up and join are on my website & in the bio link.
Happy equinox friends!! and for my neighbors in th Happy equinox friends!! and for my neighbors in the northern hemisphere, happy spring, we did it, we made it, I don’t know how! I do know that death and rebirth are always happening, endings are beginnings, and all of us are seeds planted by the past. If you’re in the north, this might be the part of the story where you have to sense where the sun and warmth and life is and push up towards it, even though you are underground, even though you can’t see. You are about to compose something gorgeous and new, if you’re brave or crazy enough to risk it. If you’re in the south, this might be the part where you’re done lushing and expanding, and it’s time to go to seed. Discern what is valuable to store and keep from this last round of growth, and what its time to let go of, to decompose. Best of luck to all of us on our descent / ascent. Long live #judychicago 🦋
Just checking in ahead of this equinox weekend, an Just checking in ahead of this equinox weekend, and am receiving the news of the 8 dead in Georgia. Love and protection to everyone grieving and angry and tired and hurting. Every act of violence and hate and racialized misogyny damages the soul of each of us and all of us, the collective soul. Every time the police manage to peacefully arrest a violent white person, when so many people of color are executed without trial in the process of arrest, is deranging. Hold tight to your people, and if you have a little extra, send it out 💜💜💜
The new moon at 23° of Pisces arrives in the dark The new moon at 23° of Pisces arrives in the dark early hours of Saturday morning - 2:21 am PST to be exact - with Neptune and Venus getting high and making out nearby. New moons are contractions in the cycle, moments to curl up and plug in, reset, recharge, rebirth. Coming on a Saturday no less 🙏🏼, as the last new moon of winter, just one week before the spring equinox arrives and we all get kicked in the gears, this new moon feels like a special opportunity to just rest and float and fuck it one last time. Even if it’s sunny. Even if there’s gardening and taxes to do. If you have some intention setting / manifestation rituals in mind for this new moon, and you should, you have all weekend. Keep in mind that Pisces is a master dissolver of tensions and oppositions - it knows how to use feeling to get free and transform. It knows intuitively how to move between dual and nondual states, how to imagine a really beautiful thing, fall in love with it, and call it down the cosmic river. Try it - get into a nice, relaxed, trance-y state, imagine the fish you want to catch is also trying to catch you, then cast your line. If you’ve been getting blasted emotionally this last week, trust that if you stick with feeling it, not resisting it or telling stories about it even, just honoring it and feeling it, it will move through. You are getting ready for new life, new growth. Rebirth is already on its way. There is art to be made. The pink fish-scales-looking piece is by Alma Thomas, who started painting in her 70s, quickly shot to fame and was the first Black woman to have a solo exhibition at the @whitneymuseum in 1972. Breathe in that pink. Take some heart from her, put it in your trust pipe. We can renew our wonder and our creativity. We can do groundbreaking things. #piscesnewmoon
The Sun Neptune conjunction is now, and if things The Sun Neptune conjunction is now, and if things are getting pretty trippy or emotional for you that’s right on schedule. This whole week is ruled by gods of water. It’s very dissolve-y. Feelings and fantasies are strong here, definitions and grounded boundaries aren’t. You might be feeling lost or anxious or overwhelmed by the big picture. You also might be loving this - like, fuck it, I guess I’ll just dream around a bit and make art. The best way to navigate times like this is imaginally and poetically. Abandon the sad, scared life raft of literalism. Practice surrendering to big waves. Remember you know how to float, how to swim. If you’d like a group to do that with, it’s not too late to join Moon School and write poetry with @brianstephenellis and I this month. Info and registration at thecultofmindy.com. There’s two sliding scale spots still open too - DM me if you’d like that to be you!! & and follow @cajucart to get more of this sweet Neptunian art 🙌🏼
