In Japan there is a pottery technique known as kintsukuroi. When a handcrafted something falls or breaks, it is sutured back together with gold creating a new piece with an utterly unique shape and form. All at once a preservation and a solemn prizing of the sum of its parts. Not thoughtlessly discarded or wantonly…
Hot on the heels of that watershed full moon is the conclusion of Mars’ retrograde in mere hours from now. He has been hamstrung in reverse gear since the end of June but we have felt the effects – delays and frustration, a loss of fire or passion, disasters in battle, exasperation with Martian types…
Swishing into Pisces almost at her peak, the full moon is rising our tides in every sense. Although not yet at totality, her energy has been shining a blinding light on life post eclipsia all weekend. The highest octaves of the final astrological mansion key us into our intuitive strengths. If we are willing to…
It was only two moons ago we were staring down the barrel of eclipsia, as the bars to our cages began to hum and rattle. Here we now find ourselves after it has all come to pass. Battered and bruised and illuminated, under the blazing gaze of the moon waxing to her watery peak. It…

So here we find ourselves darklings, post the eclipsia maelstrom with Merc mere moments out of retrograde and everything still kinda not there yet. In fact all the not quite there yet’s are lining up in front of us. Which means – whether we like it or not – a period yet worth pausing in…
Herewith our spirit animal for the pointy end of Mercury retrograde in Leo, perhaps for the entire three weeks of its messing with our heads. Don’t get me wrong, darklings. This is no buying into low rent rx hysteria, the very best way to spectacularly miss the point of it all. Rather let us take…
Oh my frustrated little darklings, staring into the abyss and not feeling like now is quite right to jump. Correct you are. Tis not the time to leap nor snark nor spiral back into any previous pit o’ shit. The early days of our post eclipsia evolution are often fraught and unfamiliar, filled with crippling…
