Jupiter moved into the sign of Scorpio on October 11^th after spending a year in the sign of Libra. Why is this significant? When the slower moving planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) shift to a different sign, we collectively experience a shift in that energy. You may have noticed this shift energetically in the last few days, perhaps feeling more inwardly focused, attuned to something deeper within. Jupiter spends about one year in each sign, ...

The month of August has been full of fast moving energy, instability and has been intense for many. We have been in eclipse energies all month, characterized by unexpected changes, endings, new beginnings, and shedding of old patterns.

This can be traced back to the first new moon in Leo on July 23rd, which was conjunct mars and initiated some bold new energy (as well as impatience, anger and frustration). The lunar eclips...

It has been seven months since we exited our old home at 602 Markham Street, a home we loved, and adored and could feel our magic and energy in. It was a true time of grief and a test of emotional endurance as we moved ourselves into our New Location with all the magic we have built in service of our patron, the Great Mother. As the owner of The Rock Store, I am eternally grateful to my dear loves within The Rock Store community.

I could not have made this move without these strong ...

“Love wants to do us favour: hold us upside down and shake all the nonsense out.” ~ Hafiz

What is Reiki? It’s a question that many have, but the answer is not always easy to articulate. When people ask me, I don't always know what to say. It’s like asking me, “What is love?”

Truthfully, if I told you everything I know about it, it would take away from the magical, mystical experience Reiki offers. Instead, I would like to pose some questions back to you: Hav...

In the early morning hours of July 9^th, 2017 we will experience a potent full moon in Capricorn. Full moons highlight the energies of the current lunar cycle (beginning with the new moon in Cancer on June 23^rd), and not all full moons are created equal.   This moon is on the Cancer/Capricorn axis – bringing awareness to our need for security through nurturing emotions vs. our need for security through external achievements. All full m...

Mercury conjuncts Uranus at 24 ° of Aries for the third and final time on Tuesday, May 8th, 2017.   The first of these three was March 26th, 2017 and the second was during it’s retrograde cycle on April 27nd.

A Mercury/Uranus conjunction is not in and of itself anything extraordinary- it happens frequently. This time around, however, they make this conjunction 3 times. Mercury came out of retrograde on May 3rd at 24°, just a degree ...

Saturn deals with the structures and rules that shape our lives, the responsibilities and commitments that we make. When it goes retrograde,...

Monday March 20^th at 6:30 am marks Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. Astrologically, spring equinox occurs when the sun shifts from 29° of Pisces to 0° Aries in the zodiac wheel.

Aries is a cardinal sign. Cardinal signs mark the beginning of seasons (like Spring), and therefore carry an initiatory energy. Aries likes to take charge- act first, think later. It is all about leadership and fast action.

This is a stark contrast as we ...

For those who are familiar with astrology, “mercury retrograde” is frequently mentioned. The conventional thinking is that all of your conversations with others will go awry, your technology will go haywire and your travels will be somehow interrupted.   While those things can happen during a mercury retrograde transit, it is helpful to understand that every planet (except the sun and the moon) goes retrograde
