August 20, 2016 — Has anyone been feeling the intensity of Mars nearing Saturn? After an arduous journey of Mars in retrograde, the merging of these two planets represents a karmic reckoning, an opportunity to break habitual patterns and heal old wounds—especially since Saturn is simultaneously squaring the Nodes and Jupiter is opposing Chiron. As a result, the past couple weeks may have felt painful and challenging. The lesson here is to forgive—ourselves and each other—and to take this time to look in the mirror and work with ourselves, while mustering the courage to not look away.

Incredible growth and expansion are available to us now. With many planets in Virgo, planet of perfectionism, we must find balance between clarifying our intentions, setting healthy boundaries, and being gentle with ourselves. We are purifying karma so that our souls and society may evolve and mature. 

Sending love and strength as we undergo this important work.
