Reframing Your Life As The Story of You Finding Your Joy

mystery garden

Today’s Full Moon falls in the 21st degree of Scorpio, the sign in which the Moon is said to be in her fall. This is a traditional formulation that probably has more to do with the Moon being exalted in the opposite sign, Taurus, than it does with Scorpio itself.

However, the traditional cautions bear keeping in mind. The challenge with a Scorpio Moon boils down to Scorpio’s penchant for fixating emotionally on the object of its desire or fascination. As we’ll see in a moment, though, this can be a gift at today’s lunation. Continue reading →

Making Room for the Big Idea

I’ve been working on a Big Idea for a while now. If I told you how long, I’d have to kill you. But let’s just say it has been percolating in my creative unconscious since at least 2014.

This past week, as Mercury stationed direct, I felt the gears starting to click into place. (There are a lot of moving parts here!)

My initial reaction was mild euphoria, followed immediately by suspicion: “Whoa! Can this really be it? After all this time? But what about…?” Continue reading →

Nothing To Be Ashamed Of

Soul Mantra 17In this week’s podcast, DK explores insights from the Venus retrograde: how we’re trained to apologize for being who we are and why we should all get together and stop it.

“I know I am august,
I do not trouble my spirit to vindicate itself or be understood,
I see that the elementary laws never apologize,
(I reckon I behave no prouder than the level I plant my house by, after all.)

I exist as I am, that is enough,
If no other in the world be aware I sit content,
And if each and all be aware I sit content.”

— Walt Whitman, Song of Myself

Everything Is Perfectly Fine In This Moment

This meditative piece that turns into a happy little song in the last minute came out of a dark moment. One of those days when I felt paralyzed, stuck in the mud of unhappy thoughts. The Mind Parasites had brought their A game and me…? I felt like a total loser.

One of those days where you tell yourself, “Just play up your damn guitar – five minutes – and you’ll feel better.” But you just stare at it, across the room, knowing you’re too much of a chump to walk over and even pick it up.

And then this thunderstorm rolled in. It was a clear summer day and suddenly the sky turned dark, the lightning crashed, the heavens opened up and the rain came down. And I got excited about trying to record the thunder and the rain on my iPhone. I ran outside under the front awning. I ran upstairs to the little back balcony. I trotted down the hall to my studio.

And I spent the next few hours in creative nirvana….

A Stream of Source EnergY Piercing the Veil of Illusion

The astrological weather in the next few days promises unusual levels of chaos. Most of us aren’t cheered to hear that a line of storms could be marching over the horizon. But what if you were a prisoner waiting for the ideal moment to spring yourself from jail? You might welcome physical weather akin to the astrology of the coming days.

First, the astrology of the next three days:

The Astrological Energy Systems in Play: April 6-10

If you want the technical astro-details, jump down to here and then come back. If you’re cool with a summary, read on.

  • Saturn stationed retrograde yesterday (April 6) in the same degree as the Galactic Center – the Great Central Sun or Source of consciousness in our galaxy. Saturn will remain in this degree for the next month. Venus, currently retrograde but exalted in the sign of Pisces, is aligned in a very close square angle to both Saturn and the G.C. and will remain in this angle through April 23.
  • Mercury stations retrograde on the Chiron Point (4 Taurus) on Monday, April 9 – we are already feeling the effects this weekend.
  • Monday night’s Libra Full Moon (Tuesday, April 10 at 1:07 am EDT) features the Moon conjunct Jupiter opposite the Sun conjunct Uranus and Eris – all square Pluto in Capricorn.

Why Do You Create?

As I was uploading the music I created for my last three podcasts to my Patreon site I noticed one of those little auto-fill messages you get on web forms. This one asked: “Why do you create?”

Narrowing my focus to: why do I create music for my podcasts, I came up with three answers.
