Where Psychology Meets Soul
As Venus enters Scorpio… What can a strange house, Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Brad & Janet and a whole lot of pleasure teach us about embracing our desires, our bodies and the things that make us a little weird?
Lilith the primal rebel enters Capricorn on 14th September. We’re talking ambition, success, money and power… and asking whether wanting these things, and being loved, are really as incompatible as we’ve been taught.
The Full Moon in Pisces is asking for surrender. But is it always wise? We can have faith and let go… or we can be deceived by our own delusion. So when is it wise to surrender, and when do we need Virgo to keep our wits about us?
Let’s skip the generic “tidy and organised” stuff. Virgo is here to hold us all to a higher standard. I LOVE them, and damn, I feel so judged by them. But that judgement is coming from somewhere deep, and it’s worth understanding where. And if you’ve ever felt criticised by a Virgo, there probably is something in it worth looking at.
Maybe liberation isn’t about fighting the whole world. Perhaps it’s about dissolving the system inside yourself, the beliefs, the expectations, the voices that aren’t actually yours. The revolution starts within.
A Solar Eclipse. The Moon steps forward and obscures the Sun. Exploring the symbolism of eclipses, the unconscious and the powerful meeting of Sun and Moon.
A lion needs to roar. But what happens when humans suppress their own? As Mercury enters Leo, I explore the different ways we roar… to protect, to express pain, to make ourselves heard, and sometimes simply to release what we’ve been holding inside.
Tiresias was struck blind for telling the truth about pleasure. We say we want honesty – until we hear something we don’t like. Let’s talk about this through Venus in Libra.
Venus the Lover. Cancer the Mother. A nurturing desire. A safe way to experience pleasure. And yes, we’re going to talk about the Madonna-Whore complex.
How about we stop fighting and allow ourselves to want, feel and receive? Exploring pleasure, surrender and healing through the myth of Hercules and Omphale.
