Yesterday during the Sun’s hour, I left an offering of honey and blueberry pancake on the altar. The Sun responded with a lyric my soul recognized from a long ago time when the prairies were a sea of grass - bluestem, gamagrass and switch blade.
🎶
Something buffalo-like you will be
Ah, yes, I responded and went outside to stand barefoot on the grass.
I don’t live in the prairies anymore and there are no buffalo here in the Pacific Northwest but I understood what Sol meant. Sometimes the part of you that is required to emerge at certain points on your journey goes beyond the abilities of the two-legged.
**Note on VOID OF COURSE Moon (VOC) periods**
The VOC period begins when the Moon makes the last major aspect to another planet while in the Zodiac sign it is currently in and ends when the transit Moon enters the next sign.
Void moons are good for quiet solo work. Focus on planning, organizing and tying up loose ends. Don’t launch anything. If you want eyeballs on your work you will avoid sharing during a Void Moon. Don’t sign contracts, don’t hold meetings and don’t make big purchases. If you want to be remembered you will also schedule auditions, interviews and dates for times when the Moon is not void-of-course.
TIP: Mark these VOC periods down in your daily planner and/or highlight these hours in your digital calendar.
***All times are PACIFIC TIME
This week Sun in Cancer travels in the bounds of Mercury and Venus in Cancer, sails in the bounds of Jupiter. Here the Sun highlights feelings and Venus *perhaps* seeks more than you feel capable of or willing to give…
There is a need for boundaries if you wish to maintain peace of mind, peace at home, peace within…
Yet, this week’s astrology pulls towards making things interesting.
Venus in an approaching trine to Neptune in Pisces.
Mercury in Leo (in the bounds of Jupiter).
This is wonderful astrology for artists, dreamers, storytellers, musicians, myth-weavers. Those who dance with the Muses…
But this is also astrology that supports liars, con-artists and charlatans.
Monday 8 July
Mercury sextile Jupiter 7:25am
Mercury trine North Node 10:53pm
Mercury in Leo is ruled by the Sun, currently in Cancer. Jupiter in Gemini is ruled by Mercury.
Blackbird and Towhee sing to themselves and the trees and the sky. It doesn’t matter, if it seems to you that you don’t have an appreciative human audience for your stories or your heart song…what matters is that you courageously and unapologetically express and protect the dream that is unfolding through you.
(The world is inhabited by many beings, not only two-legged ones. You are seen. You are appreciated.)
Tuesday 9 July
VOC 11:03pm - 6:47am
Moon enters Virgo 6:47am
A moon of green beans, lentils and rye. A moon for emptying your bag of receipts. A moon for labels on your apothecary jars. A Moon of conscientious application and practical considerations.
Wednesday 10 July
Sun trine Saturn 8:04pm
Safety is not a mental construct or a home surrounded by high walls and barbed wired. Safety is a feeling. You have a responsibility to yourself and those you care about to build a place of acceptance and stability not with words but with actions.
Soothe your own nervous system before you try to soothe others.
A beautiful aspect that can bring promotion (more responsibility) or a reward.

🌞🦋✨️ Summer is finally here and I am speaking all day, every day to those around me that are not on two legs...lol. My plants, the trees, the birds & dogs(whom have been constant companions!!) The wind, whom I find solace in this year, takes my words and worries away....✨️🦋🌞
After 18 summers spent in a high rise office, I am rediscovering Summer... sitting by our pond watching birds bathe and play in the trees... Amazing!
