“We need to suck the G out of Kingdom”

…the days of King’s and Queen’s must be close to their terminating days. The last spin of the old wooden wheel.  No need for repair.  We can just leave it there in the sand to bake in the ancient Sun.  Time to move on and remember our Kin and to forget the King.  After all, the only the Kingdom which really matters is closer than you can even suppose Just breathe. I will meet you there….oOo

 

There has been an amazing stellar event forming in the sky and it was exact last night (the 13th).  We can call it the Grand Earth Trine. 3 out of 5 players in this aspect are visible in the sky. Venus and Jupiter at 9 degrees of Taurus are visible and are showering all earthlings with an abundance of earthly delights. Aside from the Moon, they are the brightest and most beautiful sights in the night sky (viewed just after Sunset in the West).  Mars in Virgo who is still retrograde at 9 degrees is also visible as a lil’ reddish eye in the sky traveling throughout most of the evening sky (look to the East just after sunset).  Lilith (who is with the Jupiter/Venus party) cannot be seen, nor can Pluto at 9 degrees of Capricorn–strangely poetic, in that they both relate to shadowy sides of the personality and our sexuality.  Hidden.  Not to be seen.  Taboo. That is until Jupiter and Venus illuminate these espers of the unconscious mind, and invite them to the higher realms for sips of amrita tea.  The entire aspect can be summed up in one phrase:

Your body is your temple!

In antiquity,  triangles (relating to trines) were conceived by the ancients to explain the secret order of the cosmos. Pagans believed that triangles symbolically revealed that three spirits were brought down into the geographical or the worldly realm.  In other words, “a god of three” or triune god would be a composite of three different deities (ie. Father, Son, Holy Spirit). In this particular Earth trine (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) there are more than 3  deities, there are 5: Pluto, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Lilith.  In an attempt to describe the dynamic without excessive words of confusion, I feel mythogical metaphor woven with poetic phrase may be more successful at doing the trick:

 

 

 

As the cancer slowly spreads throughout all the foundations

your world, my world, big world, the entire world

Pluto smiles while gazing upon the mycelial arms moving deeply,

into the heart of Babylon

and all its influences.

Across the land to the East, Mars retreats

looking for better weapons

better techniques

maybe even a teacher or Virgin.

While in the West

the Goddess’s of light and dark

black and white

Venus and Lilith

sit serenely at Jupiter’s feet,

patiently waiting for a teacing

an answer

a cause

a surprise

a moment to shine

His mouth unmoving

eyes shut

motionless

until…..

the body breaks

the earth quakes

and the kundalini awakes

(the Earth echoes…)

The body is your temple!

Today, I experienced this aspect in its fullest potential of manifestation.  Having felt physically exhausted ever since my return from Costa Rica, I awoke feeling strangely refreshed–regenerated (Pluto/Mars).  But I swiftly screwed that up by sipping coffee with my breakfast (Pluto/Mars again).  Breathing deep and keeping my spine aligned, a friend and I go to a sacred lake in the mountains of North Carolina (Jupiter/Venus).  Instantly we both gravitate to our own rock and begin our practices (Mars/Jupiter/Venus).  My first observation was the depth of silence.  I hadn’t felt this way or experienced that degree of stillness in all of my travels and it felt amazing to realign with “nothing.” Lakes are vastly different than oceans, rivers, and waterfalls….  (I remember having the thought “this is the sound of Gaia’s memories…..at the top of the oldest mountains in the world……this is where you can find it…).  I then had the conscious thought of, “Wow, Jupiter is conjunct Venus right now…….It’s been too long since I’ve been here.” Blissed out, silent and calm. Then, we both jump in lake.  Me with my underwear, friend without, into the ice cold mountain lake. As we were drying like lizards in the Sun, our bliss, our practice, our moment in perfect alignment with the Grand Earth Trine shifted when the cops came (dark side of Mars).  A public nudity ticket for my friend, an hour of hassle, and then we were on our way.  The triune of Gods were laughing and managed to say, “ You think its that easy huh? To be in perfect alignment with your body, mind, and spirit.  There are tests along the way human.  Can you keep your center.  Can you keep your cool?” I did, but not without a shaky heart beat and unsteady hand.

 

“A kingdom founded on injustice never lasts.”

Lucius Anneaus Seneca

 

If you are reading this, you no doubt have a creeping suspicion about the corrupt nature of our government and how it affects your quality of life. I’m not just talking about Monsanto and bad seeds, I’m referring to subtleties of mind control and evil manipulations of individual freedom.  This is where Pluto in Capricorn comes in, with wicked cool magic in hand, and begins throwing dark matter bombs into the hearts of the “our Masters.” Pluto entered Capricorn in the fall of 08’ just before Obama took office and won’t leave until the early 20’s.  He is going to transform the system–whether we like it or not.  And I feel this also relates to our own lives.  We are all in it, like fish in water.  We can sense it, but can’t exactly point a finger at it.  It’s 2012.  And its only the beginning.  The Kingdom is falling, and the Kin are beginning their hooting and hollering.

 

“One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.”

William Shakespeare

 

The fact that we live in a world that inhibits you from so many natural human rights (like jumping into a lake without cloths on) is nothing short of injust.  Yes, it’s just Amurica, but there are places that are worse, and there are places that are slightly better.  The bottom line is that it is all changing.  With the help of some friends, Pluto has been able to speed up many realizations in many of our lives over the past week.  Whether its in the body, in the form of an illness of physical limitation; the mind, perhaps an addiction to a person, place or thing; or in the Spirit, which could be in the process of a profound realignment–no matter where the stakes are being raised, it is happening.  This Grand Earth Trine is preparing us for something, I feel it. Don’t you?  We just need to find our Kin, release our “sin,” and begin.

 

…as you look towards the West tonight, gazing into the crytalline depths of Jupiter and Venus, remember this:

Luke 17

And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I always wonder what the world would be like without division, hate, and injustice.  A “Kindom” not a “Kingdom” perhaps. (suck that G out!)  Where we can see deeper than the skin and into the heart and soul of our brother’s and sister’s without judgement.  Where we could skinny dip if we felt like it without worrying about being ticketed or arrested.  What would it be like to live in a world without taxes, property, capitalism, and walmart.  Really…..think about it.  An Archaic Revival of both the world and the spirit.  These are my thoughts, these are my trining dreams.

Neptune poem

Neptune poem

..this, I wrote out of neccessity, at the end of my recent trip to Costa Rica!

(it is much better read aloud.  I will do so on my next podcast…..)

Every 165 years you return

to your home of Pisces

Welcome home neptune

PUra vida mon

Twanis

achaceta

…I wonder: What is your agenda for the collective this time?

 

Drunk on dreams of costa

envisioning

new work, new environment, new people–languages

your illusion felt stronger ever

hopes for better days

soon turning into haze

…i ask: Neptune, Is there even room for hope? Or is there only truth?

 

On the day of your return

WE arrive to the mysterious dia as your blizzard looms over head

bringing fear of the inevitable

but it wasn’t the blizzard–or tlaloc, no

it was the pilot with expired passport that delayed departure

flight canceled, delirious late night scramble, a defeated black & white return “home”

stranded for days

…I ask: Neptune, why must I always wait?

 

Finally, into Pura vida

thick tropical air, promises of unknown things

rumors of the tide

red tide

doomed and looming to come true

…I ask: Neptune, what is the true state of your waters?

 

Nicoya Penisula, Cabuya, Montefuma

dusty dirt roads, tico dready artisans, and howler monkey’s

the nightmare weavers

(ooooooaaaaahhhhhooooowwwwwwww)

coupled by red tide manifest

marooned

fuck it, I’m jumping in

only to be attacked under full moon by blood thirsty shrimp

…I ask: Neptune, is this only the beginning of your truth?

 

Naked under pregnant moon

we walk too many kilometer’s home

avoiding both water and tico dangers

Questions arrive like bubbles in a boiling pot

slowly getting drenched by your superfluous mist

…I ask, Neptune, why are you so hard on me? Is it because you are on my south node, holding onto my tail?

 

Disenchanted without resource, we make plans for an exodus

running from virgo out of balance

your perfect opponent

for an early arrival to Uvita

site of Envision

a lil’ recon and r&R

yet, everything remains transparent, no solid ground

only heat, sweat, and perpetual challenge

…I ask: Neptune, Who is your relentless spirit?

 

soda to soda to bar and rest

we see gringo brains on the pavement,

truth?

rama rama rama, lets pretend to be friends

gong show

pipe show

just a lil bit of yandi to get us through the day,

no show

…I ask: Neptune, your intoxication seems to make everything so right. Am i wrong in thinking this?

 

Like birds of a feather they start to arrive

from all over the globe

tribe: the ones we’ve been waiting for

into the sultry atmosphere

hungry for new experience

transformation

vision

…I ask: neptune, are you taking us to the bottom of your endless abyss?

 

To the site of envision

bamboo bamboo and more bamboo, snakes and crocs in the slough, whale tales and dried up horses of the sea

syncronicity?

manifestation begins in the jungle in which we meet

danger around every corner in the heat

we build

…and I ask: Neptune, why are you stealing my energy I’ve been waiting to greet?

 

Under late Gemini moon the dance begins

lack of water, sweat lodge tents, dirty sounds,  drugs,  darkness

and a torn down bridge promising the sea

leaving only danger and folly

where did my smile go? My love?

Kali goddess?

…I ask: Neptune, How do I heal this weary heart seemingly broken apart?

 

under cancer lover’s moon she greets me

from chile to russia, cali to Qu be qua

hearts reconnecting to mine

reminders

helping loosen the knots and to make new ones

…I ask: Neptune, Why can’t everyone understand divine love? Compassion and compersion?

 

Cracked earth tongue, empty adrenals shooting

calling for an early departure

no stars, no service, nobody gets to receive my gifts

I go on haitus

a walk into nothing

I find nothing

praying for nothing….well maybe comfort

doubt infecting

I ask: Neptune, How much more can I actually take?

 

Late night scramble for recharge

this place, that place, any place

where is the ac, the egyptian cotton, the soft body?

nowhere that night

just an hour before the sun greets the day,

a stop to sleep on the side of jungle road

bloodshot eyes

fingers crossed for a healing dream

…I ask: Neptune, what the fuck am I learning?

 

cop knuckles on the dawning window pane,

sunrise wakeup call

“This is a dangerous place gringo, you should go…”

“yes officer” (but where?)

“tis Festival imperial!!!”

In the nearest hotel we get our room

finally

and are greeted by hanous vomit fumes

a burn of palo santo

into unfettered rest and pitch black dreamscape

…I ask: Neptune, where do you get your sense of humor?

 

To your mystical beaches of manuel antonio

amped with “hope” of healing and soft embrace

the envisionary vortex grabs our spirits once again

fame, glory, and forever Dionysian release

spinning

shivering on a mansion’s floor

Dominical’s ironic gift

…I ask: Neptune, Why is it that I’m starting to lose my faith?

 

If that monkey could speak, he would say, “human fool”

If that iguana had only two legs, he would no longer be cool

the tucan sings and the strange coon eats cookie’s from the tourist’s greedy palm

a false shark appears

triggering yet another question for you

I ask: Neptune, What is really real?

 

Final days of this Pura vida SHIT

this radio station brings comfort through the temple of the dog

I’m going hungry

the envisionary vortex grabs our tails one last time

stranded backpacks, changing artifacts, and cracked computer screens

new friends always appear

in converted buses

as the leo moon goes void into Virgo

waiting for its full fruition

the portal opens and the party ends

…I ask: Neptune, How do they do it? How could I ever?

 

midday bus to san jose

finally a moment to reflect

to write

kaminanda pumps sonic bubbles in this poetic mind state

fighting vertigo,

knowing the plane will be a better place for polishing

…I ask: Neptune, Is this all you wanted?

Poetry?

 

Under full virgo moon

alejuela

mars’ red eye to the left

hours of traffic stifle the flow

just before being swindled and had

by a coked and snifeling tico…

of course

it never ends

it never ends

this energy persists into the airport

it never ends

take it all

I have nothing more

Only my questions for you,

Neptune!

I ask: Have I got it?

 

falling to me knees,

hands out stretched

sobbing into your formless eyes

I ask again: Have I got it?

 

Every 165 years you return

to your home of Pisces

Welcome home neptune

PUra vida mon

Twanis

achaceta

 

…I still wonder: What is your agenda for the collective?

 

(the crashing sound of the ocean reverberating forever…)

A Pilgrim on Valentines Day

A Pilgrim on Valentines Day

“For this was Seynt Valentyne’s Day. When every foul cometh ther to choose his mate,”
Parliament of Fowls , Chaucer

 


…in our morning Yoga class here in Cabuya, there was a sound of a “strange cat” purring the loudest motor I’ve ever heard in the top of a palm outside the studio.  Having no idea of the origin of the sound, I intuited it to be some sort of Valentines day nature call from a unknown tropical source.  At the end of the class it was revealed: 2 Herons flirting in the top of a Coco tree! Ahhhh Amor! Chaucer was right: Birds find there mates on this blessed day.

Valentines day has never been my fondest “holiday.” Maybe its because I’m always in some confusing entanglement with my heart around this time of year.  But even when I’m with someone, it’s never been fuel for expressing more affection than I already do in my day to day exploration of Love. In looking at the aspects of the planets in the sky today, I immediately got a dark and inspired feeling about this Valentines day.  Having read a wonderfully revealing article on the history of Valentine’s day (Here) the ominous energy increased.  Who would have thought that the origin’s of this Lover’s day had its origin in bloody sacrifice, flagellation by cultish men of Rome chasing scared women, beheadings, and Chaucer poems.  Mmmmm…..In the sky today Venus squares Pluto, the Scorpio Moon turns into a 3rd quarter phase “pilgrim,” and Mercury gets lost between Neptune and Chiron in Pisces.  An interesting astrological gestalt for the day red, chocolate, and heart felt love letters.

 

Astrological breakdown

 

Venus is still degrees away from Uranus in Aries (see: Reflections of Venus) being electrified and persistently asked, “Who am I really?” She (Venus) is thus being activated by the world-changing square between Pluto and Uranus.  Many Astrologer’s are deeming this the “2012 aspect.” I feel it has everything to do with facing Fear (Pluto) and transforming in the space it creates. By doing this work we either get to experience a “breakdown or a breakthrough” (Uranus) according to our responses to this Fear! Whether we have a Valentine today or not, I feel it most important to still be internalized, and asking ourselves all the important questions: “Am I dependent on another person?; “What do they represent that I’m not”; “How can I internalize them and become them?”; “Why do I long for Love?”

The Scorpio Moon is in it’s 3rd quarter phase, dying and waning towards the next New Moon in Pisces.  This strengthens the collective need to be internal and deeply reflecting.  Steven Forrest calls this Moon “the Pilgrim.” I love this.  It’s like a pilgrim of the heart and mind.  In this lunar phase we are cutting ties with the world and looking for better techniques which assist us in understanding our inner universe.  Meditation? Dream yoga? Art? Music? Writing? Whatever suits you best, do it. Of course, many of us will be spending most of the day cooing our mates, but just make sure that by the end of it, you make some sacred time for yourself to reflect on all you have said, done, and promised.  You are the ultimate valentine!

The last aspect I would like to mention is Mercury in Pisces, transiting between Neptune and Chiron.  The Messenger is just a degree away from where the upcoming New Moon will take place at 2 degrees of Pisces.  Mercury is said to be “fallen” in Pisces (weakened).  I can see how this is true in many ways.  There is a lack of boundaries to Pisces.  It’s an infinite ocean of ideas and dreams.  The Messenger can easily get lost in chasing dreams, this thought and that one, and being influenced by other people’s perspectives.  Try not to be naive today.  Be careful with promises and plans.  Stay cosmic, yet stand true.  Mercury in Pisces is wonderful for activating the higher centers of our consciousness, thus its perfect for meditation.

Despite all the challenges in the sky today, it doesnt mean we are destined for broken hearts and chocolate tears.  The Venus square Pluto may bring up some deep emotions though–even some secrets that have been festering in your lover’s heart.  Invite them in. The truth will always set you free.  Once you get it, at the end of the day, while laying in bed–whether alone or in the arms of a lover—allow Mercury to travel the infinite ocean of your imagination, and think: How cool it is to love and be loved.  Agape!

the Death of Whitney Houston

the Death of Whitney Houston

Looking at Death transits is one of the most fascinating aspects of Astrology to me.  Through the transits to a person’s natal chart you can distill all of the aspects which weakened a person’s vital life force. In Whitney’s case, it is no exception to this rule.  She was found dead Saturday afternoon in her hotel room at the Beverly Hilton.  Cause of death still undetermined, yet, speculation speaks to a potential combination of xanax/alcohol and then drowning in a bathtub.  Let’s take a peak through the Astrological lens in the attempt to find out potentially what it was without an autopsy report.

Here are the transits for that day:

(sorry about the blurriness and size; I couldn’t seem to change it.  Hopefully you can zoom. If not, go HERE)

When looking at a Death chart, it is always important to look for 3 main aspects:

1. Transits in the 8th house and the activity of its ruler: The House of “Death”
2. Transits in the 6th house and the activity of its ruler: The House of “Healing”
3. Important planetary returns happening: Cycles ending and beginning

In Whitney’s case, all 3 are highlighted.  First of all, Saturn has been transiting in her 8th house for the last 2 years, having opposed her Moon/Jupiter conjunction and squaring the Nodes of the Moon.  This speaks to karmic–even fated evolutionary lessons–and emotional challenges to an intense degree. The ruler of her 8th house (what facillates Death and Rebirth) is Venus.  Venus had recently moved into Aries to form a conjunction with Uranus (sudden trauma) and opposed her Mars just a day or so before her death. It all speaks to potential accidents (Mars in combination with Uranus via transit being triggered by Venus–the ruler of her 8th house–is an accident signature).

…just one aspect like this isn’t enough to cause death though (I would never predict such a thing).  There has got to be more.

Now we look to the 6th house where we find her Sun and Uranus natally.  Her Sun in Leo rules her 6th house, meaning part of the Self-actualization of her Spirit (Sun) is to learn how to take good care of her body, mind, and spirit.  Via transit, the Sun is found in her 12th house just a few days away from her Saturn and a week after her Sun/Sun opposition (always a challenge for a person in my opinion).  This transit happens every year because the Sun moves around the chart every year, but you can definitely see a foundation being built.  When the Sun illuminates Saturn, it is like a beam of light coming down from the sky showing all of the most challenging karmas we are carrying in our Soul.  The 12th house relates to escapism and drug use.  See where this is going?

….Then we look to important returns

There is nothing exact but there are looming returns in 3 places which relate strongly to the theme we are dealing with.

1. Chiron’s return (you can see Chiron just a few degrees away from her Pisces Asc).  The Ascendant relates to vitality, the body, and our will to live.  Chiron, sometimes deemed “the wounded healer,” brings forth some of the most painful energies in our being.  This becomes readily apparent when he returns to himself around age 50. She was 48!

2. Jupiter’s return which happened last Spring.  Jupiter has a 12 year cycle which relates to expansion and opportunities in life.  Interestingly enough, Jupiter seems to show up in some way in nearly every Death chart I look at. Perhaps an opportunity to try again…in another life?

3. Mars retrograde in Virgo.  Natally, Whitney has Mars in Libra in her 7th house. Mars was just degrees away from returning to himself before he went retrograde a month ago.  Collectively, we are all feeling this one.  When Mars goes retrograde, so too does our energy.  It’s in Virgo, so it relates to the health of our bodies, routines, and services.  Being that it is in her 7th house (the House of Love) it is my guess she was incredibly distraught and angry (Mars) about some dispute with another person–maybe a lover, maybe Bobby?

…the foundation is being built.  Do you see what I see?

Like playing Jenga, there is but one block you pull or add that can tip the whole tower. In Whitney’s case, it was the transiting Moon. Look to her 8th house (again, the House of Death) and you will see how the Moon had entered her 8th house just hours before she was found dead.  I would guess she moved into the afterlife the moment the Moon in Libra entered the house. That’s how these transit’s work.

Take all of this information and add it to the fact that not only was Chiron moving out of the 12th house, but Neptune just moved into Pisces as well, holding hands with Chiron. Feb 3rd was when Neptune moved into Pisces.  It relates to the end of hope and the beginning of truth.  It had been transiting through the house of addiction and escape for most of the 21st century for Whitney.  This coincides with many of the years of her addictions (though I will admit, I don’t know much about her life. This is just what I gathered). Sun and Mercury were also transiting this house in the hour of her passing!

My conclusion? Drugs and water (12th house themes).  I feel the suspicion of an unconscious stupor caused by drugs, leading to drowning is quite a likely outcome.

It always saddens me to here of a person passing.  But then again, it is such a beautiful moment also.  I’ll admit, a part of me even gets jealous.  This is such a cruel world at times…oOo

R.I.P Whitney.  You shined like a true Leo!

Love,
sOma

Reflections on Venus

Reflections on Venus


Prometheus is reaching out for the stars with an empty grin on his face.

Arthur Koestler 

The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely

Carl Gustav Jung 

 

…Adrift.  Roaming new territories we probe sporadically for a sense of safety.  Yet, we find that there is nothing…except the stars! The stars–like forever mother’s and father’s– never let us down….

 

Venus is now in Aries is holding hands with Uranus (via conjunction) at 2 degrees of Aries.  Having drifted through her exalted sign of Pisces over the past month, she now grabs for fire to create the vision she was granted within her starlight dip within the Divine ocean.  It’s an interesting contrast between Pisces and Aries for the Goddess of Beauty.  In Pisces she is said to be strongest (exalted) because of the feeling of Divine love inherent within the Archetype; she is said to be “in detriment” in Aries because it is the sign of Mars, her opposite.  Perhaps the fireballs of new life and instinctual drive tend to overwhelm and dry up, even overwhelm her sensitive nature. Whatever the case, she is there now and she is merging energies with the Promethean impulses of Uranus.  With empty grins on our faces, we stare into the stars–into ourselves–to accept ourselves completely–with or without a lover by our side.  This is a time of radical self honesty. Dare to be alone.  To reflect.  And remember.

 

 

Culture shocked:

Whenever I travel to a new spot, there seems to be three phases I experience:

  1. Giddy excitement due to the novelty of the experience……followed by:
  2. A hollow void of nothingness–especially when language barriers are present!…..followed by:
  3. Complete clarity of purpose.

 

Having just arrived in Costa Rica for my “working vacation,” I must say, this trip is no exception.  The void hit hard yesterday. Funny, because it occurred side by side with Venus moving into Aries.  In reflecting on Venus’s passage through Pisces (mid Jan) into Aries (yesterday) I realized something profound: This entire trip, in all it’s magic, began to bloom when Venus moved into Pisces.  Now that she has left Pisces and entered Aries, the new life, the novel energies have become manifest.  mMmmmm….Now, think back to mid Jan for yourself, and reflect.  What kind of dream began to marinate back then? What is becoming manifest now?

Being that Venus is also conjunct Uranus in this moment I am writing, it is no wonder that I am failing at prying myself away from the computer (Uranus).  It is a crutch.  A sense of security from my “other life.” It allows me to continue on with my creative process (Venus) and give me radical reflection on my current state (Uranus).  It also brings me connection via email, facebook, and skype.  Luckily, we live in an advanced human reality where we get to stay connected wherever on the planet we are.  Pretty special.  It allows for this process to be much easier on the heart and mind.  Imagining what it would be like 100 years ago, to leave all of those you love and are learning to love, to completely disconnect from the reality you have created….just imagining.  What a beautiful self created trauma that would have been.  And it wasn’t that long ago.  We are so lucky. Totally connected through computers, ever evolving technological monkey’s. I reflect.

…speaking of monkey’s: Have you ever heard a Howler? Now that is some serious shamanic vocal technology.  Nightmare creators!

In the end, we are all alone.  We die alone.  It’s perfect.  Allow the stars to help you remember.  Be radical.  Individuate.  Take your heart to new places, separate from the old and known and move towards the novel.  Establish new relationships.  Redefine the ones you are in.  This is just another step of prep in the first quarter of 2012, making sure we are fully aligned to our truest Individuated state before the cosmic storms–whatever that means.  Don’t be afraid! You are love.  No need to look for it or attach to it in unhealthy ways.  Praise Venus! Praise Uranus! They are walking like weirdo’s in a strange world, talking in a bizarre tongue which nobody could possibly understand.  It’s perfect. They are reflecting, just as we are. May we all find “conclusions.”

Leo Full moON 2012: Pura Vida

Join me from Costa Rica as I peer out into the Pacific waiting for the Full mOon to reveal itself. I talk about the significance of this Moon and also cover what all the other planets are up too in the sky currently. It’s a laid back show hopefully packed with juicy morsels for you to chew on as you stare out into la Luna this evening. I hope you love it.

..Pura Vida
