Y’all. The moon today and tomorrow has some intensity to it. Right now and through tomorrow, the moon is opposite Mercury. (That’s not the intense part yet.) Mercury is all about the mind and intellect. (Nope, not the intense part yet either.) When the moon and Mercury are opposite (as they are regularly), tension can show up between our minds and our hearts, and there’s room for more doubt to show up to the party. What’s especially powerful about today and tomorrow is not just that they’re opposite, but where they’re opposite – the moon is moving through a patch …
Moon Weather, Nov 18, 2020
Today’s moon position is a pretty dynamic one. Right now, we’re in Hexagram 54, “The Marrying Maiden.” This position brings an energy of transformation, of something shifting that is outside your control. This can show up a lot of ways. It can feel frustrating if the change is something you don’t want, or are pushing against in some way. And, part of Hexagram 54 is revealing hidden potential, bringing new possibilities. So if we’re pushing against a change, this can be a really frustrating point in time. There’s no shame if that’s where you’re at, either – that’s a normal …
Full Moon, Oct 1
Tomorrow’s full moon is a brute, y’all. Don’t fret though, I’ve got some strategies for you at the end. If you just want to jump to the hope, pop on down to the purple hearts. I won’t mind.Ready? Buckle up, here we go … The moon spends most of tomorrow moving through 17, “Following.” The moon in this hexagram is like being in a river with a strong current. All connected, a series of events moving along, with a flow that is hard to resist. Just after turning completely full, the moon moves into 21, “Biting through” or “eradicating.” (Doesn’t …
Today’s Energy – “Jaws” and “Returning”
I wasn’t going to do one of these this weekend. Then, I read the energy for today, and I changed my mind. Today’s energy is all about your mouth. … Kinda weird, right? Today the moon is in Hexagram 27, moving in to 24 later this evening. Hexagram 27, is translated as “Nourishment,” “Corner of the Mouth,” and in at least one translation, “Jaws.” As you might expect, the translation lends itself well to a literal observance of what you put in your face. Thankfully, though, this isn’t a lecture on a balanced diet, or staying firm in your keto …
Weekend Energy – August 29-30
A question I keep wrestling with … Energy reports are all fine and good, but what the fuck good are they when the world is burning? Why do I care about where the moon is today when some [white] punk can kill people in a crowd and then go home? It’s something I keep coming back to, and I’m not going to jump into “love and light”. What I do know, is that I need to be in both places. I need to be pissed off and fighting for what’s right – which for me, means voting, educating myself, confronting …
Weekend Energy – August 22-23
This morning I was working on the Weekend Energy and nothing felt right. Everything felt off. Welp. Turns out, rather than looking at the hexagram numbers, I had started looking at the number I use to sort them into the astrological order. I was looking at the absolute wrong information. 🤦♀️🤣 So I want to start today’s write up by saying, listen to your instincts. (You hear me, me?! 😆) When something feels off, give that feeling some time and space to expand, so that you can see what it is. Is there something that needs adjustment, something that feels …
Weekend Energy – August 15-16
First … What is an energy report? It’s different things for different people. For some, it’s divination. To me, I see it as an undercurrent. A theme. Your experience of the theme might be very different than mine, as might your response. When it’s raining, you may decide it’s the best time for a walk, and I may decide to curl up on the couch with a book. The rain is the same – our interactions with it differ. It’s not a directive, or order from the Universe to do a particular thing, even if sometimes, it may read as such. …
Weekend Energy – August 8-9
This weekend has some big energy in it as the moon moves through three very powerful I Ching Hexagrams: 51, Arousing; 42, Increase; and 3, Difficulty in the Beginning (or “Sprout,” my new favorite translation). “The Arousing” – where we are right now – is made up of two “Thunder” trigrams. For those of you familiar with Tarot, is a lot like the Tower card (which is also an influence this weekend). It’s big change, a shake up, a lot going on. It’s a burst of “doing”, yang energy. 🤓Other influences this weekend for those who enjoy the details: Moon’s …
Weekend Energy – August 1-2
Today I’m going to tell you a story about a lovely lady, the Marrying Maiden, and the movie she’s staring in, right now. It’s not a short story, but it’s a good one. (And no, this isn’t about the Brady Bunch, though I suppose, it could be.) Today – or rather, right now – the moon is in Human Design Gate 54. The gates are originally based on the I Ching, and in this case, Hexagram 54 – “The Marrying Maiden.” DUDE. WTF Sonja? Yeah I know. Okay. This is gonna get boring for a hot hiccup so bear with …
Weekend Energy Forecast – July 25-26
The moon is connected to our feelings, our sense of meaning, our “why.” Not only does it impact who we are when we’re born, but it also has an impact on our day to day experience. These energies move through us like a background beat, and the same beat is there for all of us. We won’t all experience them in the same way – your chart, your Human Design authority and strategy, all impact how these energies might impact you. Sometimes having access to this can help you execute your decisions more smoothly (more on this below). Sometimes, just …
