Hope you all had an inspired Solstice!
Here in England, there’s a unique vibe around the year’s turning point—more so than I’m used to back home. Whether you choose the pilgrimage to Stonehenge (or another circle), the madness of Glastonbury, or something else, it seems there is more voltage up here than what I’m accustomed to. I like it.
For us, we joined some friends at the opening of a new venue called The Mount at Wasing for a Solstice event with Xavier Rudd & the Yananawa. It was the perfect dose of wild camping, medicine, and good people. If you are familiar with the Medicine Festival, it’s the same grounds.
There was a point in the evening when Xav was playing Lioness Eye—one of his tunes where he showcases his extraordinary Gemini skills by using every limb to make a sound; it’s always near the encore when he plays it, and this take we had Venus, Mars, and the Moon all in Leo just above the stage which had an incredible lion face projected onto the screen behind him. It was a moment to be remembered.
To a degree, I got my start at gatherings like this. I’d go to Symbiosis or Sonic Bloom or Burning Man to give lectures on Astrology, then give readings throughout the festival. It was an intense way to get “my wings.” I also learned something crucial about the Leo/Aquarius axis in those years: it’s understood most clearly when you are at such gatherings. Ideally, everyone is allowed to fully be themselves without judgment; we are held by the community and are able to express precisely who we are. It’s a beautiful thing. It’s medicine.
So, that was my Solstice. And when we stepped out, it seems everyone was talking about a missing submarine and a potential coup in Russia. See what they do here…
Anyways, love to you all. Keep scrolling. There is a retreat announcement and some other bits you might want to catch below:
Tansy and I are finally coming to Colorado! It’s been 4 years since we met, and because of the insanity of the years in between, she’s not been able to visit with me. That has changed. And one of the intentions of our trip is for her to run her first retreat in the mountains. Unfortunately, I won’t be a part of this one, but I bet some of you would lvoe to fill my place. Have a click to read about the goodness they are planning to offer:
Also, tonight is the Square Class. If you’d like to join us, but missed the first two, no worries; they are stand alone classes. Hopefully I’ll see you tonight:

I’ve still got enough space in my life to go on a few more Venus Journeys. It’s a package of multiple readings that we plan around the entire Venus Cycle. Powerful work in these trips. If you’d like to learn more, please have a click:

Listen now (49 min) | It's that time again. The dragon is close. Rahu and Ketu are about to devour the Sun and Moon. Every year, at least 4 times it occurs, and this year is going to be another exciting one in regards to eclipses. We will cover them in this show, mainly focusing on those of the Spring, but also talking about the Saros Series, which will serve as some tim…
