Curious Elixirs

Recently celebrating by 3-year alcohol-sobriety, friends at our gatherings are always intrigued by my mocktail options. As someone who now feels more comfortable in social situations with alcohol present, I’ve been absolutely grateful for the alcohol alternatives available in recent years. My hands-down favorites brand Curious Elixirs offers complex booze-free cocktails with no need forContinue reading “Curious Elixirs”

The Vegan Gravy Train

The Grit in Athens, GA remained a major favorite for locals and visitors alike for decades. As a vegetarian teen, I delighted in their strong savory plates and selection of pies whenever we’d travelled to the Southern college town just an hour or so east from Atlanta. Occasionally trekking out to see Glass Candy orContinue reading “The Vegan Gravy Train”

The Erratic Energy of Eclipse Season

Eclipse season is here, unearthing stability and shaking up foundations for some, deepening wholeness and self-compassion for others. While cliches have been connected with Eclipses since the beginning of time, Earth always witnesses 2 Eclipse “Seasons” a year, starting in the Spring and the Autumn. Late April kicked off a New Moon in Taurus andContinue reading “The Erratic Energy of Eclipse Season”

Must Be the Season of the ’90s Witch

Scorpio Season starts October 23-24… which means Halloween is around the corner! Our love of October is punctuated by films that have emphasized the very culture in which Halloween thrives: monsters, mystery and, above all, magic. Witches, of course, take the cake for our favorite Season-adjacent archetype. Ranging from horror to comedy (or a comboContinue reading “Must Be the Season of the ’90s Witch”

Fire, Walk With Me

The Aries Full Moon brings passion and/or volatility to the forefront, depending on which way your scale tips. As the first sign of the Zodiac, Aries is considered to be an origin story of sorts, the discovery of the spark which alights all. Aries energy relates to its ruler Mars, the Red Planet, and asContinue reading “Fire, Walk With Me”

Light The Way, Little Fae

The Libra New Moon ushers liberation from the lies we tell ourselves. Libra is Queen Supreme with narratives and has a flair for the dramatic, either in extreme oversharing, gushing with details, or intense vigilance, holding it all in. Whereas the cliche tendency towards fickleness is based in some truth, within brews an intense adherenceContinue reading “Light The Way, Little Fae”

Swim Out Of Your Little Pond

The Pisces Full Moon will wash over our Earthly realm September 10th, shortly after Mercury begins its reflective Retrograde, finding our cups overfloweth. September’s Harvest Moon in the dreamy sign of Pisces has healing potential. Its silver seafoam bubbles back memories of our happiest, most creative states of being, but not without a bit ofContinue reading “Swim Out Of Your Little Pond”

Like A Dream, Glides Away…

Blissed out on cooler mornings and breaks of breeze, the Northern Hem Virgo Season prepares its golden goodbye from Summer to Autumn. Reminiscent of childhood’s grade year beginnings, eager to learn, a love of books and (admittingly) routine, we make plans for our favorite season, bracing for the occasional hellish hot days that try toContinue reading “Like A Dream, Glides Away…”

Aquarius has our full attention

….not just because, as a Sun sign, it holds the reigning position for many collaborators, friends, my wubby and even my own #1 placement. Today we are graced with a Full Supermoon in Aquarius. A welcome marker inching towards Autumn, the duality of Leo and Aqua is one we particularly love but is not withoutContinue reading “Aquarius has our full attention”

Lady Lioness, Lit From Within

Leo Season has arrived, bringing a burst of bright, bold energy much appreciated after Cancer’s watery reign. With Lughnasadh just around the corner, Leo’s Sun-ruled fixed fire personality compliments the merry-meet of the bonfire-blessed harvest, a midway between the Summer Solstice and Autumn Equinox. July 28th’s New Moon in Leo ripens with potential intention settingContinue reading “Lady Lioness, Lit From Within”

Parental Super-Division

The recent Knuck If You Buck Supermoon in Capricorn may have riled up responsibility woes, but that’s only a scratch compared to Saturn Retrograde. The traditional, ambitious, hardworking Capricorn is the Dad of the Zodiac and 2022’s July Buck Moon may have felt stern in its “check yourself before you wreck yourself” vigor. Capricorn’s strongContinue reading “Parental Super-Division”
