Both Sweet and Fierce
Small pinches of tobacco, sacred week of the ancients, and small handfuls of rose petals from my English Rose harvest of last year, I walk the edges of my small garden, out to the curb that is the edge point of where I meet the world, all the way to the back yard edge. and I bless all the spirits who live here with me, who grow my flowers so vibrant and lush in the warmer days, the elementals, devas, angels, the blessed fairies, offering all my gratitude and love for the help

Every Spring, Pluto turns Retrograde (Rx) and we work on ourselves, consciously or not, in an inward manner. In the Fall, Pluto turns Direct (D) and we have opportunities to use those inner understandings and awarenesses to transform our everyday lives, to implement what we’ve just learned about ourselves. Today, April 25, 2020 at 12:54PM/MDT, Pluto turns Rx. It will have been stationing from 18 April-4 May, giving us a taste of change and intensity. Today is the epitome of t
I thought about...
I thought about my adult children, and how sometimes I feel them. I smile to myself. Sometimes I sense when they are worried. I call them. Check in. After all, their cells come from my body. There’s a connection beyond everyday awareness. The other day, I thought about my cells, having come from Mother Earth, and having that same connection with me as I do with my kids. I wondered if she tunes into me, and smiles to Herself in knowing where I’m at. Suddenly, so much made sens
Transmuted
We are changed. Even if not sick, even though not asymptomatic, even though not on the front lines, the virus has changed us. On a mental, emotional and cellular level, we are changed. Our future is not where we thought we were going. Our present is drastically different. A virus transmutes its host. Its host is the world. We have all been transmuted one way or another. Jyoti Wind
Sometimes you just have to step away...
Sometimes you just have to step away, you are too close to something. It’s blurry and myopic. It’s small and limiting. Sometimes with distance, comes clarity. You see a bigger picture. Your spirit feels larger. The cosmic and the practical suddenly shows itself as a oneness. Sometimes you just have to step away. Jyoti Wind
Moving From One Place to Another
We sort.
We pack.
We let go of
all those things we were going to do. We give-away.
We gift.
We trash,
those things of a former life. Attitudes and beliefs.
Dreams and wishes.
Yearnings and longings,
we set them afloat on the rivers of the past. Timidly and unsurely,
one step at a time,
one breath at a time,
we set sail for the new world, even if we never leave home,
we are
moving from one place to another. Jyoti Wind
Astro Update 4 17 20
Astro Update 4 17 20 An Overview I did not fully appreciate the power of this year, heading into 2020. I have tried to not over-dramatize the effects that cosmic aspects may have on global situations. Yet in re-evaluating the most important aspects this year, it is a year of major change. This time has been called: The Great Mutation, A Massive Reformation, The Turning Over, The Great Turning. We are turning over…new leafs, new attitudes, new belief systems. And we are being
Praises
Sing the praises of life, your gratitude for breath, your uplifted spirits as the sun moves through the day. Sing the praises of life, give voice to your loves, whether the pink of hyacinths in the snow, or the burbling water running at your feet, the wind overhead that brushes worries from your mind, the face of another human after so much solitary time. Sing the praises of life. Keep it simple. Your heart knows your depth, and the Earth meets you there. Jyoti Wind
