On a psychospiritual level, the theme of Samhain is acknowledging and connecting with the Shadow. The Shadow embodies those aspects of our being which live in our unconscious; those aspects of our being we have shunned and/or repressed. It is the metaphorical “skeleton in the closet”… perfectly suited to exploration at Samhain! At this timeRead more
WHAT ARE THE EQUINOXES (EQUINOCTES)Astronomically, the equinoxes mark the points where the sun crosses the celestial equator, rising from south to north in the spring, and setting from north to south in the fall.

Remembering that true sacrifice is offered willingly, I put forward two considerations for reflection upon the nature of sacrifice, both at the personal and societal levels. Sun & Uranus – Personal StruggleHere are some keywords for these two travellers, within theRead more
Jupiter’s IntrospectionSummer solstice 2021 very appropriately sees Jupiter stationing retrograde, meaning he appears to be moving backward from our geocentric point of view. When travellers turn retrograde, their energies turn inward. As a traveller of philosophy and spiritual tradition, this makes Jupiter’s retrograde a time of philosophical and spiritual introspection. Furthermore, as a representation ofRead more
When the ancients looked up to the cosmos, they saw seven travellers in the sky: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.
