Awakening and Expansion
Body, Mind, Spirit Festival
Saturday’s (April 20) conjunction between Jupiter and Uranus was a powerful shift in my life and in the lives of many significant people in my life (you know who you are). I spent the day participating in one of a series of events called The Body Mind Spirit Festivals. There will be two more later in the year.
I enjoyed it far more than I could have anticipated. The other presenters were incredibley welcoming and friendly, the folks I had the opportunity to speak with were delightful. It was great to get out from my tiny home/office and talk with people face to face.
I want to publicly thank my dear lifelong friend Alora, who traveled from Vermont to help me. I can’t imagine having done it without her.

SCORPIO FULL MOON: POWER AND CONTEMPLATION – Tuesday, April 23, 2024
Today’s Scorpio Full Moon (7:49 pm EDT) brings us to the peak illumination point of the lunar cycle. Full Moons occur at the midpoint of the cycle when the Moon is fully illuminated by the Sun.

Eclipses are powerful astrological events that bring hidden issues to the surface, revealing truths and prompting us to reevaluate aspects of our lives. As the eclipse season comes to an end, you may feel a profound shift towards deepening introspection and contemplation. Scorpio’s influence encourages you to dive deep into your subconscious, confronting unresolved issues or buried emotions. This is a time for powerful inner work as you uncover hidden insights and tap into a strength you may just be coming to realize.
