with Natalie Johnson https://zoom.us/j/92906971312 This Full Moon falls in the sign of Sagittarius, the great cosmic archer. Sagittarius is the higher octave of Aries. While Aries gives us the initial impetus to start things, Sagittarius helps us to aim surer and higher, encouraging us to place our intentions on the tip of his arrow, trusting that he will send them further and more precisely into the higher realms in order to reach their target. From now until the Solstice, the sun continues to rise higher and burn brighter and hotter in the skies above. Let us gather tonight to review the seeds we

with Natalie Johnson https://zoom.us/j/93355804896 This New Moon falls in the sign of Gemini, the cosmic twins, reminding us that we perceive reality from two sides of our brain, the right and the left. In earlier times, most of us processed life through our right brain and relied on the intuitive feeling of “knowing” things to help us navigate our daily path. We allowed the natural world to be our teacher and our guide. Since the so called “Age of Reason,” we have been on an ever accelerating trajectory toward interpreting life only through our left brain….through intellect, reason, science, facts that
