Lady Luna strutted into Leo yesterday and remains here, hand on hip and fabulous hair blowing in the breeze of her own wind machine until the moon full in Virgo beckons late tomorrow eve.

This corner of the world she smiles at me, he sang and I finally get what it means.

From The Wisdom Series by Bohomofo, this is the wisdom of Dog

If your get up and go feels like it got up and went, you have the deliciously sensual Taurus moon to thank.

We are in the final throws of Mercury retrograde, with the messenger planet just about to station before he shunts forwards again at the end of this week. This is the period where everyone breathes a sigh of relief with the end in plain-ish sight but do not be fooled just yet, Bohemians. The stationing point of the retrograde is where the greatest snafus are possible, probable even.

On mulberries, Milton and the very best Aquarian spell that ever I weaved for my writing. She’s growing beautifully, darklings.

Pagan tradition tends to pull from the Northern hemisphere but for us based on the other side of the globe, we follow the movement of the seasons and the wheel of the year as it applies to us. Samhain falls after the Autumn Equinox and before the Winter Solstice, traditionally marking the end of harvest and the descent into deep, dark Winter.

Eclipses are not just singular, they are a season of change with a distinct beginning and an often all too clear end point that resonates, sometimes for months to come. Our lunar eclipse only two weeks ago was the fabled blood moon. This was an appropriately storm swept kick-off in my part of the world and heralded the start of a period of immense shifts.

If you thought this craaaazy eclipse energy was now going to settle nicely in time for your sunny long weekend, may I suggest you take a seat for a moment and pour yourself a cup of something strong. Probably not too early for shots, it’s always 5 o’clock somewhere. We are in the period between eclipses now, which can be a little like the spin cycle on your washing machine.

Tomorrow night is the opposition of Mars, a celestial event that happens every two or so years when the red planet lines up with the sun and we on planet Earth are sandwiched in between.

What does this mean to us here on Earth? Mars is the masculine planet of action that rules both Aries and Scorpio. Mars can symbolise passion, drive, ambition, competition and war. Fiery, full blooded energy is the red planet's natural state. In ancient times, Mars was said to rule our sexuality and sexual energy and governs weapons, accidents and surgery. Currently Mars is retrograde which in astrology basically means don't start a fight and be wary of your enemies. Disregard any or all of the above at your own peril.

New moon in Aries is nearly here Bohemians and so it is that we have a supercharged opportunity to make a wish that will stick. Be mindful of your thoughts when you wake tomorrow and as always be careful what you wish for!

And so the wheel turns once more, Bohemians. Today is the astrological equivalent of New Year's Eve because at around 4am tomorrow morning Wollombi time, the sun wafts from the dreamy Piscean realm into the firebrand go getter energy of Aries. Tune in and you will feel the change when you wake in the morning.

All too often in our crazy busy overscheduled lives we rush from one thing to the next, darting from place to place and thing to thing like manic dragonflies. There are deadlines to meet and Stuff To Get Done. People depend on us, employ us, rely on us, can't get by without us (hello parenthood).

This weekend is a chance to wash the slate clean, after the delicious topsy turviness of the last two weeks.

We are again in the dark phase of the moon, a time of introspection, the kind you only get from being alone with your thoughts and the bright stars above.
