Spiritual Nutrition for Gemini Season

Gemini season is here. In astrology the element is air and the modality is mutable - so gemini is literally like a changing breeze. It’s ruler Mercury is related to the mind, so we can see this as changing ideas, changing the mind, wanting to do both “this” and “that”.

However we when become still in that breeze, it means we can receive a multitude of insights and intuitions we remain receptive, rather than active in our thinking.

Is a certain placement in Astrology ‘bad’?

Is a certain placement in Astrology ‘bad’?

I get this question almost every time I read a chart. People are worried that they have been cursed or doomed to not be happy and ask if a certain placement in astrology is bad.

If I have Venus conjunct Chiron am I doomed in love? I have Chiron in the 7th house, what does that mean I’ll always be hurt in relationships.

Mercury Retrograde - A Time To Lean In

It’s time to lean in. Mercury Retrograde is here and it signals a time to slow down and go inward, and listen. I love the symbol of mercury - with it’s little antenna receiving information and grounding into earth.

The yang expression of Mercury to me feels like picking up ideas and information from the outer world - the yin version is tuning in and being receptive to our inner space and inner landscape. Being quiet enough to listen, to receive.

Spiritual Nutrition for Aries Season

Aries is the first sign in the astrological zodiac, so coming into the season of this sign, it’s the start of a whole new astrological cycle as we journey through each other signs again. Aries is a fire sign so full of passion, enthusiasm. It’s energy is cardinal so it’s the start of something new, a pioneering energy with futuristic thinking.

From a Spiritual Nutrition point of view there can be a tendency to get stuck in the egoic part of our identity, but the flip side is that is is a rich time to be in our individual being - the eternal part of us that houses the gifts and talents that no one can take from us - just make sure the ego doesn’t get too carried away with these gifts and prostitute them for attention.

Spiritual Nutrition and Space Clearing

Space clearing is so important for our wellbeing and an important part of Spiritual Nutrition. After all we are a product of the environments we live in. Just as we clean the material objects in our homes, it’s also important we clean the space we live in at an energetic level. [Image by Micaela Ezra)

Spiritual Nutrition For Pisces Season

Pisces is a mutable water sign and the last sign of the zodiac. It’s mysterious, changing, intuitive, dreamy and imaginative - just like the changing waves of the sea and the deepest darkest depths of the ocean that we know nothing about. There’s so many other things we don’t know about - outer space, the stars, the depths of our psyche and dreams. People talk about these things at some level, but we really don’t understand them.

Meditation is a tool and gateway to explore our inner space - like pisces it’s mysterious, unknown and the journey is ‘mutable’ or different for everyone. Our meditation experiences can differ from day to day - they’re not something we can pin down, predict or plan. We just need to show up and see where our practice takes us…

What is Individualisation?

Individualisation is a process of coming back to our unique self, our gifts and talents, our individual way of thinking and how our energy and thoughts flow. We are not a "one size fits all", even though we've grown up in a society that treats us that way. Individualisation is feeling grounded in your true self, to make decisions form that place that really reflect you rather than the society.

Evening Wind Down Ritual

I love bedtime rituals to really signal to my body “it’s time for sleep”. At the end of the day I’m conscious to have a ‘wind down’ ritual. I put my phone on airplane mode in another room and then begin to have some lovely ‘me’ time.

How I use astrology as a Spiritual Mentor

How I use astrology in spiritual mentoring sessions to help you on your journey of being human. It’s so important we honour we live in duality - we are infinite and divine in our being, but we do also have the experience of being human and facing struggles, challenges and doubting ourselves at times. Astrology often points to us the times to dig deep and gives us clues how to do so, as well as so much more…

Spiritual Winter Playlist

I’ve put together songs that I intend to take me through the winter months. Songs that allow me to slow down, to feel soft, to feel cosy, but then interspersed with songs that invite movement, dance, and contemplation. For me I enjoy playlists that shift and move energy rather than one single energy or tone though-out.
