The Final Farewell

Well kids, we are at the very end of the Piscean age and goddammit its going out with a big ass bang! 

In case you've been under a rock somewhere let me inform you of the very Piscean hoopla going on in the small town of Columbia, Missouri at the University of Missouri-Columbia. A student by the name of Jonathan Butler decided to sacrifice himself for the greater good of all his colored comrades. He boldly declared that he would go on a hunger strike until Tim Wolfe, the University president resigned.  

Wow. Thats really intense right? He eloquently articulated the he would refrain from nourishing his body with any substances and was willing to do so until his internal organs suffered irreversible damage and he ultimately slipped away. This declaration naturally brought widespread attention to the schools various activist groups that had been staging demonstrations on the campus the previous months before Jonathan's act of compassion.


Wolfe is being accused of looking the other way when racist events happen against students of color on the campus. Melonated students, alumni and faculty are all in an uproar and yelling out that they deserve to be fairly included. They're not just asking but literally demanding (yes, an activist group #ConcernedStudent1950 has made out a list of demands for the University) a chance to integrate fully into the larger system that is Mizzou.

Tim Wolfe. Look at this fucker tho...what do you expect from him?

So, how is all this related to the Age of the Fishes? So glad you asked...

Pisces is the last of the 12 signs and their motif is self sacrifice. They go about their lives making small sacrifices for others, thus they are the sign of compassion and unconditional love. Willing to do anything for those that they love, they will even go as far as killing themselves. Butlter, whether conscious of it or not has stepped onto the galactic stage and put on the final dramatic show dedicated to the exiting energy of Pisces. He was willing to give his life for his fellow colored cohort. Frustrated, fearless and with love in his heart he genuinely planned to die for the cause of integration; which is another theme of the fishes. 

Now, being the final sign, it naturally has a bit of all the other signs within it. Thus it is super easy for pisces to fit in with any crowd, go along with the flow of anything and relate to almost anyone. Integration is a Piscean theme that our ancestors marched for. Were jailed for. Bit up by dogs for. Sprayed with high pressure water for. And ultimately died for. 

Yes, we have seen lots of sacrifice over the years for the sake of inclusion into a system that is repulsed by our very existence. 

In the year 2000 we began the shift from passive, 'we shall overcome', begging to be loved Age of Pisces to the wild, eclectic and rebellious Age of Aquarius. 

The water bearer does not beg for membership...it simply creates its own club. The sign of Aquarius is waaaay different from Pisces but still holds the same theme: equality and love for all. However these energies have two completely different ways of achieving this.

Ladies and Gentleman...buckle up because shit is about to get real. 
                       
        Welcome to the Age of Aquarius.

Aquarius does not care about being different and has no intention at all of integrating with anything that boxes it in, abuses it or above all does not accept it for what it is. This sign simply wants to be  in all its far-out glory without any judgement! If there is no space that exists where this can happen naturally and above all freely this flighty sign will boldly build its own way. 

Marching to be accepted? Following the rules of an institution that doesn't allow true freedom? Dying to integrate into a system that wouldn't spit on you if you were engulfed in flames? 
Nah...those ideologies needs to perish along with the fading energy of Pisces. Information and facts become more important than dramatic emotionally charged displays of discontent. 

In the coming years, the children born with this electric energy (you know, those millennium babies that are tearing shit up right now)  naturally running through them will begin the necessary research of examining the nature of the system we, their elders, so desperately want to be a part of. They will then turn to those hanging on to the 'integrate or die trying' attitude and inquire with wild blue flame curiosity:

"Would you demand that a wolf not howl at the full moon?" 

Bewildered, we will snap back at the children,
"Of course not! This is what it naturally does. This is what it was designed to do and to ask it to change is erroneous and ludicrous!"

They will smile a rebelliously sinister smile and retort, "Exactly." 


Until Next Time Sistar-Friends...

Current Line Up:

P e r s o n a l   P l a n e t s 

Sun: Scorpio
Our Star of the Solar System has now moved into the mysterious, deep sign of Scorpio. Now is a time to look deep into your own Ego and determine what needs to undergo a transformation. 


Moon Scorpio:
Emotions run deep around this time. You may be able to get to the root cause of any issues around comfortability, nurturing and your emotions. You may also enjoy deeper emotional bonds with those you are close with. 

Mercury: Scorpio
Excellent time for concentration and focus. This is a good time for research and digging down deep to find truths far beneath the surface.


Mars: Virgo
The planet of action is in the meticulous sign of the Virgin. Now is a good time to do go back and double check your work for any errors. The details matter a lot at this time. Use this energy to begin to fix, mend or heal any area of your life.


Venus: Libra
Venus is at home in this sign. Everyone is a bit more romantic and social around this time. You may have a bit more charm and grace than usual. Artists are able to create more beauty around this time. Its a good time to be creative, even if you aren't artistically inclined. 



O u t e r   P l a n e t s /  G e n e r a t i o n a l   P l a n e t s 

Jupiter: Virgo 
Being the planet of faith and philosophy perhaps this is the year that some will begin to take a more practical approach to faith, spirituality and philosophy. We are less interested in the razzle dazzle of faith and higher learning. Practically is valued over status right now. Healing ailments of the physical body also comes easier at this time. 


Saturn: Sagittarius
Serious ass Saturn is kicking back and cutting loose for a change in this expansive sign. Now we will focus on building a structure to accomplish our big ambitions. We feel a push to work on our BIG visions for ourself and our lives. We are willing to put in the work to see our larger than life ideas manifest into the physical. 


Uranus: Aires
The rebel planet is taking a trip through rambunctious ass Aires. Expect an uproar and possible chaos. We are looking at structures and institutions that no longer serves us or allows us to be the best that we can be. Recklessness can occur with this combination. Take a few deeps breaths every now and again. 


Pluto: Capricorn 
As a whole we are ready for change and transformation with the structures around us. We now begin to ask the question, "What needs to go?" We are ready to burn it all and like the phoenix watch a new way of being rise out of the ashes.



Until next time Sistar-Friends...

A Delightfully Grim Celebration!

So I'm a day late (but never a dollar short) on the reporting of a fantastically grim holiday that just passed: Day of the Dead or 
Dias Los Muertes.

This Mexican holiday is celebrated every year to honor, mourn and pray for those that have passed into the spirit realm. Offerings are put out in remembrance of our deceased loved ones and prayers are recited to help them along with their spiritual journey.


It is around this time that the veil between the spirit world and this one is the thinnest so souls that have passed are able to roam the earth again. They can relive, celebrate and mourn their own journeys that have come to an end in this dimension. These spirits can visit loved ones and family and accept the love, prayers and support that us in the physical realm offer on this day.

Its important to remember that life never stops! Our souls continue on a journey of evolution even when our bodies physically die. On this day we show support to the spirits who may it need to to solider on!




Another cool fact about Day of the Dead is its origins. It goes back hundreds of years and originated as a festival to honor the great Goddess Mictecacihuatl (don't even ask me how to pronounce this name...just don't). She is the pre-hispanic Mexica goddess of the dead. She is said to be the protector of the souls residing in the dark underworld. Needless to say she is a Dark Goddess! You know we are ALL ABOUT the dark goddesses over here!

Statue of the Dark Goddess Mictecacihuatl

She was not feared but loved dearly by those who worshipped her. Her holiday originally fell at the end of July and throughout mid August to honor not only the dead but children (This is Leo season and Leo rules over children. Its an easy assumption to make that our Mexican Ancestors were star gazers!). After spanish conquest it was moved to the end of October to make it coincide with All Saints Day, a Catholic Holiday. The half assed attempts to convert the Dark Goddess to a Christian figure failed and to this day we still celebrate her and all of her dark glory!

The idea of death is frightening to some. We may look at it as a time where everything ceases to be and there is no more. The dark Goddesses Mictecacihuatl, Kali, Oya, Medusa ect are all here to show us that life is cyclical and eternal. On a symbolic level certain parts of yourself must die in order for you to be reborn new and better than ever. On a physical level it is inevitable that we all come face to face with death. But even this event leads us to transformation.

I think the idea of this holiday is to welcome death. Not fear it. Understand it and grow from it.

Morana. Slavic Goddess of Death.

Asase Yaa. West African Death Goddess.

And of course Kali. Hindu Death Goddess.

Feliz Dia Los Muertes Sistars y guardas la cabeza en las estrellas!

Its SUPER important to know where the planets are transiting. Being hip on where they are enables you to track them in your own natal chart. Tracking these guys can help you anticipate events that may occur due to the energy they are providing. 

You can also use the energy available to help manifest the life you desire! 

Until next time Sistar-Friends...Keep your head in the Stars! 

Super Moon in Taurus "Defining Your Worth"

We are once again upon completing another (and final) Super Moon cycle. On October 27th, the full moon will announce her presence in the sign of the bull, Taurus. As we begin to live out the "I Am" affirmations that we boldly declared under the Aries Blood Moon, we now have a new agenda to recognize our most treasured resources, and focus on what we HAVE (even if you don't "literally" have it yet).  But before we go casting our spells willy-nilly into the Universe, let's embrace the super power of Taurus by slowing down, and get a better understanding of the energies we are working with....

Taurus is a fixed, feminine Earth sign, ruled by the planet Venus. That being said, already we know that Taurus is stable, receptive, sensual, and pleasure-seeking. It is the part of Venus that governs whatever makes us feel good, according to our five senses. On a deeper level, Taurus governs our value system, which should ultimately extend outside of our physical and material comforts. Not that there is anything wrong with secretly wishing to wake up in a new Bugatti, or celebrating the fact that bae finally finally "put a (fat diamond) ring on it," the ultimate lesson that Venus is trying to give us here is to find what it is we truly value internally, within ourselves. 

Each of us are blessed with divine and unique talents and skills that we all at some point take for granted. They go unappreciated and, ironically, we look to things outside ourselves to make us feel validated (where my shopaholics at???). But if we truly want to feel worthy and bring more abundance into our lives, we must first find value in our innate capabilities; gifts that we already HAVE. By doing so, we experience a boost in our self-esteem, and we send out the signal to the Universe that we are already happy, healthy and rich. This gives her permission to reflect this energy back to us by giving unlimited abundance. Why? Because we deserve it. Says who? Says you!

You earned it!! (hate him and this song btw...but u get my point)

My advice for the coming days would be watch your thoughts and how you feel about yourself. Even if you are in a bad place, and don't find much value in who you are, start with your "I Am" statements (make however many you want to!) and work from there. You are whoever you say you are and it is ultimately up to you to define your own worth. Look to see what sign Venus falls in in your natal chart and study the unique qualities and characteristics associated with that sign. Celebrate and be unapologetic about them! My Venus is in the quirky sign of Aquarius. My affirmation has been, "I am beautiful, intelligent, funny, open-minded and compassionate!" Now that I know what I am, I know what it is that I value within myself. Taurus, once again, is a fixed sign, and when we discover what it is we value internally, we will build a solid, indisputable understanding of who we are and what we're worth :)
