Saturn’s just entered Aries.

Saturn’s just entered Aries. 🪐🔥
This is one the most epic transits of this decade.

Then… Monday, Saturn’s fire meets Gemini’s new moon sparkle.🌙💎
We’re entering a moment where structure and spontaneity meet — and your soul’s blueprint is ready to be built.

This New Moon in Gemini invites you to recalibrate a new lunar cycle.
Saturn in Aries asks you to act on your own behalf.
And your crystalline Gem-in-i body holds the memory, the map, and the magic.

✨ You are the gem.
💎 This is the season to polish your brilliance.

Did you know that knowing and belief can’t coexi

Did you know that knowing and belief can’t coexist?

It’s true.

But as humans, we need the ACT OF BELIEVING — like training wheels — until we greet our own knowing and choose to own it.

I KNOW the power of hope — not as wishful thinking, but as a fierce act of leadership in our modern world. 🌎

As Nick Cave says,
“Unlike cynicism. Hopefulness is hard earned, makes demands upon us, and can often feel like the most indefensible and lonely place on Earth.”

Like high effort dopamine, hope is hard earned.
And when it finally takes a seat at your inner boardroom, it has much to say. 💫

Because I KNOW the secret of hope. 🤫

✨Hope is the memory of the future.✨

In my book How the Stars Tell Time, I write:
“Our hope and desire for what is possible is the memory of the future. Our creativity in action stems from our desire — our future — as much as it informs the future.”

So the next time you feel a flicker of hope —
even if it seems irrational, small, or impossible —

✨ Your future is calling.✨

Listen with love.
Answer with creativity —
A song, a story, a step forward. 💫

Notes on the Need for Nurture

Notes on the Need for Nurture 🌕

“Something beautiful is growing, blossoming behind the visible, behind closed eyelids, between seen and unseen.”
– Astara Raven, How The Stars Tell Time

This Mother’s Day, we honor more than biology, more than gender, more than tradition. Tomorrow we honor the wild, primal energy of the Scorpio full moon. 🌝

Let the moon awaken the ancient feminine within you — in this time between worlds. 🌕

Let’s celebrate the fierce and tender art of nurturing in all its forms — blossoming in all humans. 🌸

Maybe you are…
🧿Holding grief for a mother lost — through death, estrangement, or silence.
🧿Carrying the ache of miscarriage or the choice not to parent.
🧿Parenting with all you’ve got and still feeling stretched thin.
🧿Navigating a mother wound that echoes in adult intimacy.
🧿Learning how to re-mother yourself, one breath at a time.

Whatever your story, this moment brings it closer to the surface.

Not to overwhelm — but to invite in healing.

To call on the deep feminine wisdom carried in your DNA — the ancient way of being that voyages inward rather than outward. 🧬

That knows how to pause, tend, and listen.

This is the way: less striving, more embodying.
Less hustle, more honoring.
Less proving, more presence. ✨

So.
We bow to the mothers — to the nurturers, in every form.
To the ones birthing humans or holding space for others’ children.
To the aunties, mentors, and project midwives.
To those who chose not to mother, or could not, and choose to be love in every room.
To those still healing from the mothers they had — or didn’t have.
To the ones mothering themselves, at last. 🌸

You are sacred.
You are seen.
You are needed. 🌟

This full moon Scorpio, slow down and tune in.
Ride the collective wave of reverence.
Bask in the gentle spring wind of something new being born — not out there, but within. 🌱

May the sun kiss your newly spread, shimmering wings. 🦋
