As the masks continue to fall and the world reveals itself more clearly, resist the pull toward cynicism. The oppressor depends on our hopelessness to survive. Surround yourself with people who not only believe a better world is possible, but who are building it within every aspect of their lives.

As Mercury stations direct today in Leo, it’s a cosmic reminder that the heart demands action. The killings of Palestinian journalists illuminates the fact that truth-tellers are on the front lines of liberation, and we must guard their legacy by refusing to let the truth be buried.

It's no coincidence that Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic Mayoral primary on a Jupiter cazimi day. A shift is underway. Let today's New Moon in Cancer remind you of this sacred truth: there are far more people who care deeply for this world than those who seek to destroy it. Believe.

It’s getting harder and harder to read astrological takes that don’t acknowledge the genocide(s) happening around the world. Not interested in reading about what signs will be “thriving” for the next couple of months. People are being exterminated. Grow up.

Venus and Mercury both currently retrograde in Aries is reminding us that our relationship to our own self really does set the tone for all other relationships in our lives. If you’ve been craving more meaningful connections, try raising the bar in how you’re treating yourself.

To the healers, empaths, creatives, revolutionaries, spiritualists: We chose to be alive at this moment. Don't be daunted by the erratic nature of these current times. Tap into your medicine and offer it to everyone in your orbit. We will win and colonialism will fall. Believe it.

I hope today’s Spring Equinox gives us the courage to keep fighting for the liberation of all people. I hope we can use the anger and grief within us as sacred fuel to push back against colonial tyranny. May this Aries season bless our inner-warriors as we set fire to the fuckery. Asé

If you’re wondering why things feel so chaotic right now, it’s because both Venus and Mercury are retrograde in Aries, and we’re building towards a Solar eclipse in Aries on March 29th. Oh, and Neptune will enter Aries for the first time in 150 years on March 30th. Whew.

The American Civil War began on April 12th, 1861. The following day, Neptune entered into Aries where it stayed until 1875. At the end of this month - on March 30th - Neptune will enter Aries again for the first time in 150 years. Do with this information what you will.

Just a heads up: Mars ends its retrograde in Cancer today. For those of us who have been feeling a bit lethargic and unmotivated at the start of 2025, or maybe feeling more emotionally sensitive and triggered of late - particularly around issues involving home and safety - today signifies…

If you have a spiritual practice these days, or faith in a higher power, or rituals that ground you, or an Ancestral veneration practice, or simply the ability to see the Divine in all things, I hope you know how rich you are. To have any of these things right now is profound medicine.

The Leo Full Moon peaks this morning and I hope it helps you release any behaviors that diminish your own light and inner-sovereignty. I hope you transmute any beliefs that have conditioned you to feel like you’re too much or that you take up too much space. To be in alignment with your Leo energy…

This upcoming Leo Full Moon on Wednesday is for the folks out there who have been super stressed about money / finances / resources. This Full Moon will be activating those areas for us and by activating I mean giving us an opportunity to shift / transmute scarcity mindsets. More to come later.

The eclipses shifting into the Pisces - Virgo axis over the next 18 months is offering us a major clue about how to ride these waves of political chaos. Either you’ll find your peace through spiritual practice / service to others…

Today’s the 1st New Moon of 2025 and also the first day of classes at Hampshire college for the spring semester. Guess what class I’ll start teaching today? “Performance, Ritual and Astrology” Life is really something.

As the mask keeps coming off and things start feeling more dystopian, just remember that the oppressor thrives off of our cynicism and hopelessness. Surround yourself with people who not only still believe a better world is possible, but that are actively building one through intentional actions.

I hope during this Aquarius season our collective voices continue to weave together a quilt of resistance. Remember: your unique voice creates the pattern for your own unique stitching. May we continue to sing songs of collective liberation; may we find strength in these medleys of revolution.
