MOTHERHOOD

On Idols, Values and Growing Up

My four year old is obsessed with Taylor Swift, and I have to say, I really don’t mind it. Of all the young female artists out there today, Taylor Swift would probably have been my first choice for her to crush on!

As a woman, having daughters in the age of social media, instant gratification, the commoditization of the female form and with so much emphasis being placed on how we look and present ourselves, it can be so intimidating to know how to steer them toward the right values.

I grew up in an era where the girls I looked up to were pretty innocent: Winnie from the Wonder Years, Topanga from Boy Meets World… the edgiest I got was Kylie Minogue! We’ve come a long way from there, and it’s hard to impose the same expectations on our children to see the world the same way we saw it; it’s not the same world. And as much as we want to lament the way things have changed, our past is not our children’s future but we can share in how we help them perceive the current moment.

When Gigi first started talking about Taylor Swift and we started listening to her music, it was just for fun, for dancing, in the car… but she saw a music video playing on my phone along with one of the songs and a whole new world opened. We watched a few together and she was able to put together the lyrics with what she saw being performed in front of her.

Taylor Swift has come a long way herself in terms of self-expression and I’m happy to share many of her values of equality (in terms of gender, race, sexual identity and orientation among others) and to see her express confidence and lack of confidence in her music is refreshing.

We want so much for our little girls to grow up fierce and fearless, but what are we without our fear? What are we without heartbreak? Without rejection? Most of Taylor’s creativity comes from her ability to have an open-mind and search for meaning and lessons in her experiences. I certainly don’t want my daughter to fear growing up, but I do want her to know that being afraid is ok, and sometimes it’s exactly what we need to feel; it’s protecting us, guiding us, it’s one of the languages of our intuition.

We want so much for our little girls to grow up fierce and fearless, but what are we without our fear? What are we without heartbreak? Without rejection?

Women are multifaceted and in our quest for equality it seems we’re being asked to trade our femininity for ambition, our softness for perseverance, and our feelings for analysis. Why can’t we have both? There is dark in the light, and light in the dark, and even though Gigi is young, she can already understand that it’s ok to have both – in fact, it’s healthy to have both.

Women are multifaceted and in our quest for equality it seems we’re being asked to trade our femininity for ambition, our softness for perseverance, and our feelings for analysis. Why can’t we have both?

Gigi and I also watched Miss Americana, the Netflix documentary on Taylor Swift and Gigi was fascinated… specifically by how she worked and we had endless conversations in the weeks that followed about how she wrote songs, how she learned music… I was able to explain to Gigi that people have natural talents, but even with talent, you can’t get very far without hard work.

In a world where things arrive on your doorstep within 24 hours of pushing a button, how else can we expect our children to see the world? “I want something, and it appears.” Work ethic and effort are such important values to instill and I’ll take any context I can get to show my kids how important that quality is and what it can do for you.

Work ethic and effort are such important values to instill and I’ll take any context I can get to show my kids how important that quality is and what it can do for you.

When looking at both of their natal charts, Gigi’s and Taylor’s have a tremendous amount of synastry, indicating that there is understanding. The specific connection that made me smile was that Gigi’s Sun (Taurus, 9th house) trines Taylor’s Neptune (Capricorn, 1st house). A Sun trine Neptune synastry indicates a “soul connection” based on deeper understanding and mutual aspirations. Gigi can see a lot of her own ambitions expressed through Taylor’s creativity.

Gigi’s Sun also trine’s Taylor’s Mercury and Saturn (both also Capricorn, 1st house – none of Taylor’s placements are surprising! Ha!) This also indicates that Gigi “gets” her and her work on a level that feels synchronistic and familiar. I am a big believer that the people (famous and not) that we aspire to emulate or that inspire us to “chase our dreams” play a big role in our evolution and development.

Studying the charts of our “idols” – even retrospectively as adults – in synastry, show a lot about what we look(ed) to in other people we maybe can’t/couldn’t interact with, but feel/felt connected to. In my opinion this exposes a lot about how we see our potential as we tend to admire those that exemplify our earliest impressions of success and reflect characteristics back at us: either characteristics we lack, or the ones we need to see reinforced in action in the world (i.e. “All I need to do is ___” and/or “Wow! I can do __ too!”) It helps us form touchstones for development, even if our path looks very different, which it always certainly does. 

Studying the charts of our idols… exposes a lot about how we see our potential as we tend to admire those that exemplify our earliest impressions of success and reflect characteristics back at us.

Who were your idols growing up? Was there a theme? Have you ever considered them and how they effected your perception of yourself or your capabilities? Comment below!

Parenting: It’s a Lifting Game

Like everyone else this past summer during the pandemic, bored and frustrated at the lack of options to socialize, exercise and do just about anything resembling something normal, I took up the only hobby deemed “totally safe” by the CDC: Tennis. 

In fact, my entire family took up, or returned to, tennis. Except for the baby, although, truth be told, she spent many an afternoon at someone’s lesson running around picking up loose tennis balls and having the time of her life. #buythemnothing

Our summer included a lot of tennis, and a lot of parenting. No camp meant long days with all five kids (then aged 14-1) which also meant managing tantrums, attitudes, needs, wants and desires that ranged a 13 year age gap. It was intense. But everyone loved tennis. I was the last to get on board with it (my Uranus in Sagittarius in the 1st house makes me hesitate to be a follower in any regard) but I folded and eventually joined in. 

Our summer included a lot of parenting… which meant managing tantrums, attitudes, needs, wants and desires that ranged a 13 year age gap.

Surprisingly though, I quickly came to enjoy it, but for some reasons I really never expected.

My tennis coach constantly says, “Tennis is a lifting game: low to high, and follow through.”  

The insane amount of parenting advice I can take from that one tidbit of coaching, is incredible.

My tennis coach constantly says, “Tennis is a lifting game: low to high and follow through.” The insane amount of parenting advice I can take form that one tidbit of coaching, is incredible.

I’ve read my fair share of parenting books: Last Child in the Woods, Negotiation Generation, Nurture Shock, No Drama Discipline, Happiest Baby on the Block, The Whole Brain Child, Bringing Up Bebe… Well, a LOT of books. All of them, in one way or another, try to answer the trickiest question that every new parent asks of every veteran parent they know: “What’s the hardest part about parenting and how do I circumvent it?”

As if.

But earnestly, these books address and try to solve, the most common themes parents struggle with: lack of sleep, loss of self, sacrifice, not knowing the answers, balance of technology and nature, fear of making a mistake, and so on.

My husband and I together are just now 15 years into the parenting experience, and if you asked us, our answer would be the same thing my tennis coach reminds me over and over on the court: lifting low to high, and following through.

I’ve read my fair share of parenting books… [they all try] to address and solve the most common themes parents struggle with: lack of sleep, loss of self, sacrifice, not knowing the answers, balance of technology, and so on.

Parenting is a lifting game. You are constantly fielding things you’re not ready for, trying to gauge how fast they’re coming at you, how to respond and react in the moment, getting in underneath them before it’s too late and you’ve missed the opportunity, meeting them at just the right angle and sending them back into the world up and over the net, not smashed down into the ground or tangled up in a confusion of cord.

And how do you do that? You connect on their level (compassion and empathy), you raise them up (support, resource and guidance) and you follow through (creating and enforcing boundaries). 

My husband and I together are just now 15 year into the parenting experience, and if you asked us, our answer would be the same thing my tennis coach reminds me over and over on the court: lifting low to high, and following through.

Simple, right? Well… here’s the thing:

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again and again and again: it is *always* easier to be a lazy parent. And the hardest part, like I said, is following through. And following through means sticking to your boundaries. Enforcing your values and holding your standards.

How do you do that? You connect on their level (compassion and empathy), you raise them up (support, resource and guidance) and you follow through (creating and enforcing boundaries).

It’s always easier to go back on your boundaries. To not be consistent and let them “have their way.”  To see them feeling frustrated or upset and not fully engage. To not actually leave the birthday party because they’re being disrespectful and unkind, even though you said you were going to (maybe more than once). It’s always easier to not enforce boundaries, or heck, maybe not even set them… but it can blow your game in the long run (we have a teen and a pre-teen, trust me). Plus, it’s a bad habit. 

Whether it’s sleep training, potty training, behavior modification, working on sibling dynamics, manners, hygiene, respect, independence, responsibility-building or organizational skills, without the follow through, you won’t see much of a change without that persistence. Even if you can meet them where they’re at (compassion and connection) and lift them up (support, resource and guidance) you won’t get far without that follow through; just like in tennis, you can do it all right and if you miss that last part, you’re way off course.

Follow through comes from knowing limits and teaching them to your children. It’s not about punishment or consequence really; it’s about connection, compassion and understanding when it’s time to reign it in.

Follow through comes from knowing limits and teaching them to your children. It’s not about punishment or consequence really; it’s about connection, compassion and understanding when it’s time to reign it in.

One of the biggest shifts I saw as a parent was to acknowledge my children’s outbursts or meltdowns as a signal they were sending to me that they were overwhelmed and couldn’t identify their own limits, and needed me to give them those boundaries… to bring them into a place of control and safety. Even if they would struggle against that safety and control the whole way, it’s what they need and what they’re asking for.

Parenting feels hard, because it is hard. It has moments of glory, moments of pure beauty, but it’s mostly a challenge, especially during the younger years. But that’s why it is so worth the effort; because there is direct correlation.

All of our kids are immensely different. And while I think we have always been pretty good about meeting them at their level, finding ways to encourage, inspire or motivate them as need be, with each of them, the hardest part of parenting them has been following through. Sticking to and enforcing our boundaries. Because it hurts, because it’s hard. Because in the moment, it feels uncomfortable, perhaps unnatural. But it makes all the difference.

It is *always* easier to be the lazy parent. So every time you follow through, know you are choosing to do the hard work and showing up for your children in the best way you possibly can.

How do you find setting and enforcing boundaries for your kids? I’d love to hear what works for you!

Baby After Miscarriage

Tomorrow, Saturday, December 5, I will be joining Noelle Hatton of Mothering Every Mother, to discuss miscarriage and astrology and where the two intersect and what can be gained from looking at your and your baby’s natal charts.

Conceiving after miscarriage is a raw, beautiful and challenging experience.

I experienced four consecutive miscarriages after our second son was born, and having had no medical explanation (at that time) left me feeling overwhelmed, frustrated and absolutely heartbroken.

We conceived our daughter Gigi (now 4 years old) after these losses and my pregnancy and early months of parenting her were some of the most challenging I’ve had. The anxiety, guilt, fear and love are intertwined and can be conflicting at times.

“…there are some things in life that you are never able to truly put away, they are just wounds you learn to live with.”

I came to find out that I was severely vitamin deficient and that had likely been the medical explanation for my losses, but the experiences had nonetheless left me different as a woman and a mother. And I sought understanding – not necessarily closure, because there are some things in life that you are never able to truly put away, they are just wounds you learn to live with. But when you understand them, you can live with them with far more grace.

I went through my miscarriages during a Saturn transit for me; understanding that this was a period of challenge and restriction that promoted me toward growth, gave these experiences purpose. This transit was encouraging me to get clear on my own personal direction and self definition; it was a maturation of the lens through which I processed experience. It came back to my need to prioritize and re-evaluate where I was focusing my energies.

I went through my miscarriages during a Saturn transit; understanding that this was a period of challenge and restriction that promoted me toward growth, gave these experiences purpose.

In addition, seeing the charts of each of these beings that existed for short periods of time in our spiritual plane, did a lot for me to see where we were connected, how the energy I experienced when they were with me was expressed in their celestial fingerprint.

Astrology asks us to believe in reincarnation, that our souls return to continue their karmic duty, lifetime after lifetime, evolving and progressing a bit more each journey, bringing with us the skills we need to work through our karma. Many mothers feel that their baby’s energy stays close by, or even returns to them in a later pregnancy (I have had both of these experiences and will share more in later posts.)

Everyday I see my children, these beautiful beings who have chosen me to shepherd them through these formative years, instilling in them the values they’ll need to navigate the world on their own. I get to see how they self-express, evolve and challenge themselves. I may not have gotten to see the full expression of the babies who only stayed with me a short while, but their impact was no less.

When you have been through the loss of a pregnancy, nothing will replace that baby or the possibilities that were a part of their growing life. Nothing should. It took me a while to realize that miscarriage is so widely shared among women – one in four will experience pregnancy loss on their journey to motherhood. It seemed as though almost every woman I shared my losses with could respond in kind, or offer up a story of someone they are close to who had been through similar. But though it is common, doesn’t make it less difficult, important or heart wrenching.

So if you’ve been through loss, know you’re not alone and know that whatever connection you have to your baby is authentic, real and valid and there is a large, loving community here to support you, listen to you and offer you comfort and understanding.

Please join me and Noelle on Saturday (10AM EST/5PM SAST) if you can. If you’re unable she will be saving the Live to her Instagram profile.

✨Sun squares Mars today✨ INTENSE energy!!! Bu ✨Sun squares Mars today✨

INTENSE energy!!! Burn it out folks 🔥🔥🔥

May I suggest exercise, dancing, maybe screaming into a pillow!? 😂🤬

This energy is quick, but can lead to irritability, frustration and a short temper. The best way around it, is to recognize where it’s coming from, and channel it so it doesn’t wind up coming out at an inopportune time. 😳

Be patient with yourself and others today - we’re all operating on a slightly shorter fuse than usual. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

This is an ego-centric transit, so any practices you can employ to put the ego in the seat of the observer and work from a place of non-judgement will be helpful. Try to transcend and take the high road when you can today. If you can’t, 🤷🏻‍♀️ be forgiving. ✨

✨Today is Imbolc - the halfway point between Win ✨Today is Imbolc - the halfway point between Winter Solstice and Spring Solstice.✨

Symbolically, this midway point is a time-marker⏳; a point at which the days get brighter and we can feel the beginning of Spring coming (or,
at least, that’s the idea... we just got a foot of snow ❄️ where I am!😂)

I feel Imbolc as a more inner, cyclical experience, that signals our bodies to rise into a different expression of activity.💫

Many focus on the goddess Brighid, and her many aspects as a deity of fire, home, hearth and fertility.

🔥 focused breathing, baking, cooking, intuitive movement and womb work are especially welcomed during this transition.💕

✨There are beautiful rituals for Imbolc (I prefer the 7 candle Candlemas ritual - this can be found easily online.) I keep it simple and use tea lights:

🕯🕯🕯🕯several candles can be assigned to represent bringing and keeping the light that emerges as winter finally comes to an end. 
🕯Another can represent the purifying warmth of the hearth.
🕯Another can be symbolic of the barrier between the positive and negative in your life; a boundary of sorts between our world and the next. 
🕯Another stands in for the magic of wisdom and inspiration, and for the light that comes into our lives when we experience love.❤️

After lighting I write my spring intentions by their light. ✍🏼

You can also set up a spring altar including stones, plants and renewed intentions for the season.🌱🌸

You can include your kids with the Candlemas, or in making a crown for Brighid, which you can use as a wreath.🍃🌸

Or you can make a beeswax candle imbued with your spring intentions (recipe for this is on the blog!)✨

Whether you mark the occasion or not, wishing you a beautiful Imbolc 💐🌾🌸 I’ll do a Tarot spread later to mark the occasion ☺️

✨It’s February and Venus is on the move! Tomor ✨It’s February and Venus is on the move! Tomorrow she slides on into the ever-crowded Aquarius ♒️ bringing an intellectual, eccentric and quirky breath of fresh air to the planet of love and beauty!✨

Venus in Aquarius is tender, offering us a new way to look at love, being loved, what we consider beautiful and even how we relate to our finances. 💕

Be careful not to over-analyze in this compartmentalized sign, where the emotions can often be separated or detached and over-thought.💭🤔

It is a time to express yourself completely and freely to those you love, and to jump in to any creative endeavors you might have considered too offbeat or out-of-the-box before now (even when it comes to your finances - more on that in another post!)🌟

As for how we may be wanting to connect with those we love? More cerebrally 🤓 - intellectual connection will feel valuable, exciting and intimate. 💕 Out-there topics will most likely be on the table!😆

You may find yourself seeking new, unique experiences, perhaps with your partner, or with friends - SO hard in COVID times, BUT there are safe ways to find novel experiences in this environment.✨

May I suggest @the_skindeep if you’re looking for a TRULY Venusian-Aquarian COVID Isolation Valentine’s Day activity. 😂

It hits all the spots 💕✨😉

✨We’re gearing up for a snow storm in our neck ✨We’re gearing up for a snow storm in our neck of the woods, and all it makes me dream of is skiing ⛷ 🎿 😂✨

It’s been a while since we’ve been on the slopes; COVID has dashed our dreams since last spring - looks like it will continue to be the case. But we can dream! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤪

While some things feel stagnant, there are so many other things shifting, adjusting and opening...🤲🏻

Venus, our planet of LOVE 💕is busy and on the move in the weeks ahead of Valentine’s Day.

I’ll give more information on each dynamic as we cross the days, but here’s an overview. Expect affects around the who, how and what you love and the way you express and communicate affection.❤️

🌟 Feb 1 - Venus enters Aquarius and Sun squares Mars

🌟Feb 6 - Venus conjuncts Saturn and Squares Uranus

🌟 Feb 8 - Venus conjuncts Mercury 

Love is in the air, and we’ll have opportunities to evaluate the way we’re interacting with our loves, family, communities and passion. 💕

I’ll be posting the last elemental Venus placement (in water 🌊) - if you haven’t been following, check in on Astro.com and look for your elemental breakdown to see which element your Venus falls under to get a general sense of how you express this placement. (Directions save in highlights under Elements!)✨

#venus #valentinesday #astrology #astrologersofinstagram #astrologersoninstagram #venusinaquarius #venusintheelements
✨Venus in Fire 🔥 ✨ Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagi ✨Venus in Fire 🔥 ✨

Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius 
Houses: 1st, 5th, 9th

Venus in 🔥 folks have a lot of passion! They know what they want - that’s for sure! While Venus is not exalted in the Fire signs, I find that folks with these placements love wildly and with abandon and have some of the most passionate (but maybe not well-thought-out) romances ever!😍 

But when it comes to being swept off your feet, since when does planning sound romantic!? 🤣

Venus in 🔥 love openly, inclusively and demonstrably - never afraid to express their feelings or affection... or to end things if they feel like it’s not what they need. ❤️💔

To make a Venus in 🔥 person feel safe, loved and appreciated, be sure to value their outward gestures - their openness is a large part of their expression. Most need some freedom too, and validation in one form or another.🌟

Venus in 🔥 never minds getting into a tussle now and then; conflict is an opportunity to come closer, create friction and well... make up!🤣

Venus in Aries ♈️ (and in the 1st house) may be a little immature and self focused (perhaps not the best planners or the most romantic overall) but they’ll always be up for adventures and sharing experiences - they’re up for all things new and exciting. Plus, they’re fiercely loyal and protective over those who have their heart. ❤️ 

Fire in Leo ♌️ (or the 5th house) carry a playful energy and like to be adored, taken care of and given attention in *all* the ways (and given gifts 🎁 of course!) But they’ll give the same way in return; you’ll never find a better gift giver than a Venus in Leo - they are incredibly thoughtful and generous. Loyal and protective too!🦁

They say a Venus in Sagittarius ♐️ might be hard to pin down 🤷🏻‍♀️😳 but their need for adventure and freedom is oftentimes the *perfect* pairing for someone who is also independent, secure and wants new (shared) experiences. Expect travel and trying new things to be a part of spending time with a Venus in Sag. ✈️🛳🚆

Venus in 🔥 in an exciting way to experience another person.

PLEASE remember this is only ONE placement of many and doesn’t determine entirely how good of a partner or match someone will be!😉
✨Saturdays are for tea parties! Or in my case, c ✨Saturdays are for tea parties! Or in my case, coffee ... lots of coffee! Are coffee parties a thing? If not, can we make it one!?😆☕️🥳✨

Happy weekend everyone - hope you’re all enjoying some family/rest/self-care time.💕

The moon is in Virgo... and Virgo is ruled by Mercury, which just went retrograde.😳

I started the day feeling restless, like I should be cleaning, organizing while at the same time like I couldn’t seem to get anything done... 😫 

SO I made the decision to let it go and just be.🙏🏻

I brought myself into my body, the moment - grounding into the earthiness of the placement and decided not be so hard on myself. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The headache I was having wasn’t any fun either!🤣

How are you all feeling today!? Drop a note 👇🏼

✨Hold on to your booties, folks! Mercury goes Rx ✨Hold on to your booties, folks! Mercury goes Rx tomorrow!! 😳 and the pre-shadow has been a litttle bumpy for some already!✨

Mercury is in Aquarius for this, the first of 3 rounds in 2021... ugh, doesn’t it feel like Mercury was *just* Rx!?🤪

In this fixed sign it’s going to be an easier ride than in some of the other signs (Mercury loves an air sign!) ♒️

We may feel emboldened to speak out in a more unique way, or express/communicate artistically in a more forward-thinking way... this is the sign of futuristic endeavors, and this may bring some of these processes to the surface.🙌🏻

There will be a collective vibe, so we may find ourselves revisiting, revising and reviewing things that fall into the humanitarian, altruistic and social/common cause realm.🤝

🌟Are we surrounding ourselves with the right kinds of people?

🌟Are we standing up for and advocating for the right causes?

Social, racial, economic and political endeavors that address the greater good will likely come to the forefront during Mercury’s Rx and give us an opportunity to see how we’ve progressed and how we’ve stalled, and maybe, with the forward-thinking of this sign, how we can adjust. 🤔

Social communication with a broad and diverse group of people is theoretically tailor-made for this period of time, and socially distanced technology is key - so as long as we’re double checking our internet connections and making sure our batteries are charged and being extra careful about logging off before we add our 2 cents about the boss’s presentation 😳😬 we should do just fine!🤣

I mean, with all the tech and its involvement with our socialization, this retrograde in ♒️ could be the ultimate test of how truly dedicated we are to maintaining our distanced relationships!

Mercury will form some positive aspects during its Rx.

End of the 1st week in Feb the ☀️ and Mercury will join up giving us a boost in our mental energy, clarity and confidence!

Mercury and Venus will align the day before Valentine’s Day connecting our minds with our hearts, you could say!💕 

ON Valentine’s Day Jupiter and Mercury will team up to give an expansive and optimistic overlay to our thoughts!💭
