Neptune energy, comin’ right up!

In Energy Update, Intuition, Limiting Beliefs, Podcast by Sonja

Neptune is comin’ in hot in the next few weeks! Okay not really, I’m pretty sure it’s very cold out that direction. But regardless of temperature, let’s take a look at what Neptune represents and what’s coming up. Neptune is the release of boundaries, and everything that means, both literal and metaphorical. This is the space where dreams evolve, where enthusiasm and creativity play, and where imagination rules. Your imagination, btw, may create the imaginary, but that is only one of it’s many functions. Imagination is also your access point not only to creativity and adaptation, but also into mystical …

Triple Conjunction This Week

In Energy Update, Podcast by Sonja

Alright y’all, this week has some big isht going on! First we’ve got the New Moon — yeah yeah, big deal. This pales (no pun intended) in comparison to the conjunction that’s coming up in the wee hours on Thursday. Venus, Mars, and Pluto form a rare triple conjunction this week. This peaks on Thursday, though I suspect it will feel the most potent on Wednesday the 2nd. Relationships are getting shook. Old, unsupportive, “relationship in name only” connections are breaking down. Any time Pluto brings a transformative touch to a situation, it’s not likely to be subtle. For some, …

So … About This Portal

In Energy Update by Sonja

What the Lion’s Gate Portal is … and isn’t. Anytime someone says “portal,” you can color me excited. I love a good galactic energetic funnel right into my third eye – sign me up. As such, I love the idea of the Lion’s Gate Portal every August 8th, a time to open the comm lines to the spiritual world a little wider, download some new info, get manifesting, tap into transformative energy, yum. In trying to write from an astrological perspective this week, and I noticed … that was difficult. There didn’t seem to be anything super clear explaining what …

Self-Care Is Not Always Sunny

In Energy Update, Self-Care by Sonja

Sometimes, self-care looks like anger.Sometimes, it’s running as hard as you can into a strong wind.Sometimes, it’s wrestling a tree instead of hugging it. (Spoiler alert: it’ll probably be a tie.)These days, there’s a lot of focus on rest and relaxation when it comes to taking care of yourself. And it’s no surprise – as a culture, and particularly in the workforce, the pressure on the individual to produce has been out of sync with how the human body works for a long, long time.So rest is needed, no argument here.That doesn’t mean it’s the only kind of self-care.There’s an …

Moon Opposite Pluto: April 19th and May 16th, 2021

In Energy Update by Sonja

The moon’s opposite Pluto today, through tonight (PDT).If you’re feeling scared or maybe hopelessness, this might be a contributing factor. (Whew!) Pluto asks where you can transform. Where do you need to reimagine what’s possible. For the next couple months, Pluto is sending us an energy I call “The Boundary.” This powerful position asks you to look at where you may be limiting your thoughts and expectations. Pluto throws these limits under a microscope for you to examine and tear down (if you are so inclined). When you throw the moon in there in opposition, the emotions feel bigger and …

New Moon Sunday, April 11

In Energy Update by Sonja

Y’all, New Moon on Sunday! As an Aries energy, it’s about new beginnings, fresh starts. But hold up, that’s not all. When we zoom in a little closer, this positioning is the Archetype I call “The Expansion.” It’s frisky. Wriggly. Wants to pop. It can be a time of brand new beginnings if that’s what you need. But it might be a time to explore what it looks like to have your shit level up. There’s a secret hiding in this energy. Expansion requires detachment – a willingness to release the past, and move forward into the future without expectation …

Moon Opposite Mercury Today

In Energy Update by Sonja

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

In Energy Update by Sonja

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

In Energy Update by Sonja

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”

In Energy Update by Sonja

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 …
