I think of Sagittarius as an upbeat teenager, lighthearted, engaged in life and seeing life as an adventure.

Do you remember that sense of adventure? The expansiveness that life held then - when the world was our oyster?

This energy can help us be open to new horizons - to consider life as an adventure rather than a chore. We can try our rose-coloured glasses on for a moment and see the silver lining or the truth of all we can be grateful for.

In Sag season, we are asked to open our minds, to break the links from the past and expand our horizons.

It’s Scorpio season and with its key words of power and transformation, you can work with your own regenerative powers to release, die to the old, and be reborn!
During Scorpio season light hidden agendas, deception and corruption, (our own or others), the shadow side and our fears are often brought to light.
The good news is we can work with this energy to release that which does not align with, or uphold truth, authentic power, and peace within ourselves.

Are you up for it?

Work with the power of the Libra moon phases to play your part in bringing peace, harmony and balance to your world and the world.

It's time to spring clean your thoughts, beliefs and judgements especially around relationships. And that includes your relationship with yourself. Clean out all the old and plant some new seeds of balance, harmony and peace with my releasing ritual and intention ritual.

Call upon the power of insightful Virgo to discover what has true value to you and how to follow through on your committments to it. Work with Virgo to upgrade, cleanse and create beneficial daily habits.
Let your Virgo 'eye' notice what needs tidying, organising, cleaning and purifying in your life and in your being. You might even need a checklist!

This evening sees a Capricorn Full Moon. This is the second full moon this month and has an energy of both endings and new beginings with a sprinkling of joy as we move into Leo season tomorrow.

A friend asked me yesterday how this full moon was shaping up. Here are my thoughts on structure, releasing the past and embracing joy! What an opportunity!

I've been doing a bit of reflection lately on the power of love, joy and the heart.

When I read of the dynamic spiral dance of blood and the heart, my heart rejoiced as joy and hope danced within. (Thanks Lynda Wharton for the delightful share).

We are so much more than a mechanistic model of bones, sinews, muscles, blood vessels and organs. There is a life force that flows through us, into us and from us that mechanistic science does not fully acknowledge.

This week I see the departure of a very dear friend as she responds to the call of her soul.

We connected at our first Medicine Woman training over 14yrs ago and have forged an incredibly deep and supportive bond of friendship and love over the years as we navigated the trials and jubilations of personal growth that life and the various healing, shamanic and other extensive training brought us.

I was recently reflecting on those who inspire me.

Yes there are the courageous heros and heroines of old such as Joan of Arc, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King, and Ghandhi, or current beacons of light like Marianne Williamson who recently dared to run for US presidential candidacy, and Linda Wharton whose commitment, integrity and grace with her work with the Health Forum NZ is awe inspiring.

But I also have an abundance of friends and people close to me who quietly take courageous steps everyday who are equally inspiring:
