🌜in ♐️ (notes from my weekly Substack forecast, which you can find in my bio!) Moon in Sagittarius: Saturday 3:03 pm CST → Monday 6:30 pm - a time for adventure, festivity, fun. Appreciating story, myth, cultural diversity. Finding strong enthusiasm. Saturday, 3:41 pm: Moon sextile Pluto - an easier availability of connecting to depth. Could feel like echoes or a continuation of some of the Scorpio eclipse themes, but with a bit more freedom in relating to it. An intense vibe around, but not imposing, able to be entered into with more choice and ease. Sunday, 1:11 am: Moon square Saturn - a feeling of seriousness present, a bit of a constriction or the necessity of limitation around the big fires of Sagittarius. Probably not the best night to push boundaries, and to integrate some spiritual devotion into your weekend quests. Sunday, 9:24 am: Venus enters Cancer - a sweeter, cozier form of romance. Desire to connect to home and family vibes. A nurturing, soft form of relating. Creativity and generativity arising in order to support nesting, to support emotionality. A bit more of a sensitive, protective placement for Venus. Venus stays in Cancer till June 5th. Monday, 1:22 pm: Moon square Neptune - perhaps another dreamy, confusing Monday, till the afternoon. A need for a more spacious, imaginative approach to work. Probably best not to push too much fire, otherwise things could get harsh or nightmarish. Might be good to reality-check and clarify your thoughts and perceptions. Moon trine Jupiter @3:30pm - a boost of enthusiasm and energy in the middle of the afternoon. Something to raise a sail for, to prepare time and space to be carried by. We’re running out of strong aspects to this Jupiter in Aries - this could be a good chance to capture strong inspiration. This will coast into a VoC afternoon (3:30 - 6:30 PM), so you might not push too hard on this.

Moon in Scorpio: Thursday 9:32 am CST till Saturday, 3:03 pm. The 3 days of the Full Moon, during which there will be an eclipse. The Sun in Taurus reflected by the Moon in Scorpio: beauty being reflected through gnarls, the grotesque, the ruggedness of beauty. Likewise, seeing the shadows of beauty, piercing through glamour or veneers. A time in which intensity will likely really manifest. Poisons could arise to the surface. Might be intense relationally - an atmosphere of fear or suspicion. A good time for spiritual practices, emotional searching, developing and directing a healthy intensity, obsession, or strong focus. Thursday, 12:39 pm: Venus square Neptune - a dreamy, perhaps confusing veil being cast over romance, sensuality, and creativity this whole week. Could take extra work to come to clarity, but there may also be a good deal of extra inspiration around. Might be a good week to be careful in engaging with mind-altering substances, which could get slippery. Thursday, 7:53 pm: Moon trine Saturn - a good time to put work in on projects that need effort or oomph. With Saturn in Pisces, that might look like a spiritual undertaking of some sort - deepening into reverence, consulting conscience, feeling into and following heaviness, hopefully without getting really dragged down. Thursday, 11:02 pm: Venus sextile Jupiter - a time in which romance, connection, and creativity could be saturated with an air of enthusiasm, hope, and an extra spark. A bit of a contrast to Venus’ square with Neptune - a bright side, but one which may require wakefulness. Friday, 12:33 pm: Lunar Eclipse - a peak moment of energy, emotions, and sensations. This Scorpio energy can be extra intense - you might stay out of harm’s way and be extra caring/careful to/with yourself. (Cont’d in comments)

🌜in ♎️ Moon in Libra: Tuesday, 1:08 am - Thursday, 9:32 am CST. (A snippet from my weekly forecast notes, which you can find on my Substack in my bio!) Time to regain/maintain equilibrium, to be in relationship, to flow into the aspects of creativity and artistic living that have to do with finding balance, proportion, and harmony, even while playing with opposites. Developing equanimity, feeling into polarities and extremes. Wednesday, 4:10 pm: Moon squares Mars - a potentially volatile moment. Threads of discord or strife could come back around. The Moon in Libra might help smooth or settle things out, but Mars still might feel oddly frustrated. Would probably be a good afternoon for things like movement, artistic practice, or making an apology or offering reconciliation, as long as you’re not opening a can of worms. Thursday, 2:54 am: Moon trine Venus - actually a harmonious and lighter romantic, sensual, and relational energy, which would be softly noticeable in the evening before and morning after. Thursday, 4:16 am: Moon opposing Jupiter - another morning that getting up early and getting a smidge of work done or inspiration through could be helpful. Afterwards, the Moon will go Void of Course until 9:32 am. Again, Void of Course Moons are the time periods after the Moon has made her last aspect in a sign and before she enters another. It’s typically a pretty chill time, a moment to rest and restore, and especially not a time to expect extraordinary effort from yourself or to start something new. So - the day should be a bit easier after 9:30 on Thursday.

🌜Moon Language: ‘The Piercing Moon’🌛         gnarled beauty         the earth dreaming         metamorphosizing resilience (or ‘the metamorphosis of resilience’) Thursday, May 4th 7:30pm Camp EZ - 5003 Wasson Road, Austin TX 78745 In this eclipse // full moon portal, we will gather for a potluck meal and a sharing of stories, songs, poems, live music, and any other creative expressions offered. This month, the (soon to be eclipsed) full moon is in Scorpio, reflecting the light of the sun in Taurus. Given this powerful weave of astrological bodies, we will focus our exploration on the earthen forms of beauty that emerge in the desert landscape + amidst scarcity and disruption: the gnarled, wrinkled, spiky and piercing life forms that teach us about the meeting of beauty // resilience, survival // pleasure, and transformation // release. How does resilience take shape in you, especially amidst the thorns? What kind of beauty arises in and through those pierced places in our bodies and landscapes? How do we metamorphosize ourselves through release and rebirth? No one is obligated to share anything, all are welcome to. We’ll be gathering on the benevolent lands known as Camp EZ; look for the “Potluck Parking” signs on the street, enter through the main gate, and keep walking along the path all the way back to the fire pit. We are eager to continue reviving the Moon Language energies and look forward to co-creating this experience together.

Hey Folks <3 As a part of the class I’m currently teaching, Charting the Artist’s Way, I’m providing the students with fine-grained, daily play-by-plays of each week’s Astrology. It’s something I love doing informally for myself, and I’ve recognized that I’d like to be doing it more regularly for a bigger audience. Thus - today, I’m starting a test-run of doing these weekly forecasts for my whole email list and launching a subscription capacity on my Substack for $8/mo (or $2 per weekly forecast). My goal by the end of these upcoming 8 weeks, around the Summer Solstice, is to have $150/mo in subscriptions, which is about 19 subscribers. I’m also renaming this Substack to Cosmic Cartography, imagining it to be a blend of strategic planning to navigate the archetypal environment and more personal, mytho-poetic musings. Many of these will likely take note-form, rather than being long, comprehensive analyses with full sentences. I’ll give suggestions for activities, heads-ups about when things might be testy or tricky, and highlight moments where rest or being low-key is encouraged. I’m also hoping to integrate more of my artistic color experiments and to foray more substantially into sharing my thoughts on movement and embodiment in relation to Astrology. I’m planning on releasing these weekly on Friday or Saturday, but that may adjust as I get into the groove. I hope they help you plan, navigate, and feel into the dreamy magic of life, and I hope you support my work! Check it out at the link to Substack in my bio 🐉🧙🏼‍♂️
