In the latest ‘you can’t make this shit up’ department somethings popped up in my awareness this morning that leave me both giggling and knowing there’s things to process in there.
1997 was the year that my life changed (dad died, got married, eldest born).
It was also the year there was a Jupiter/uranus conjunction at 5° 55’ Aquarius square my MC/IC right as centaur Chariklo (spinner of grace) was discovered.
And The Spice Girls were it.
This popped up in the news this morning, 2 days after another Jupiter/Uranus conjunction square my Uranus in another pivotal year for me.
27 years on.
I was also just pondering Sundari Luna Howell’s mention of the net/web in the Thoth Priestess card and how wisdom weaving is now the focus of my work in the book I am writing. Chariklo is a wisdom weaver.
Random thoughts but I know there is something in there for me to process. Feels like it’s something that gets to go in my book. Good thing I have time to write some today!
This is the post that popped up randomly. The Spice Girls at Victoria beckham’s birthday singing their 1997 song, Stop.
But the timing! Do you see how these transits echo through the years and cycles?
On another note. Sundari is offering an intro rate on her 30 minute Tarot readings and it’s probably the best reading I have ever had. She’s also lovely. Check her out and book at this amazing intro rate. https://www.sundarisoma.com/bookings
My podcast for the conjunction of Jupiter/Uranus is at
Today the waxing Libra Moon aspects all the players involved in the April 8th Eclipse with oppositions to Rx Mercury, Chiron, Venus, and Eris in Aries, a square to Ceres in Capricorn, and a trine to that wisdom weaver Chariklo (I am told I am starting to write her chapter today!)
Today is the day before the Pink Full Moon at 4˚ Scorpio (I need to remake my thumbnail as I put 5˚ on that) on Wednesday night. Video at
. Incidentally, this Full Moon is square to that 1997 Jupiter/Uranus conjunction….. Perhaps there’s something there for you to look at just over 27 years later? The conjunction was on Feb 15 1997.
Today’s lunar aspects are taking a good hard look at what began on the Eclipse. With more than a nod to 1997 it seems.
But speaking of the Eclipse. What’s being birthed? What in you is being renewed? What gets to be released and let go of.
All of this is around your identity and what adventures in life you desire to create.
I’ve been suggesting you write or paint that picture of your life vision. You still have time.
Who are you now? It’s funny, I am almost back to the size I was in 1997. But of course this is about more than that. This sense of newness and of finding the inner divine child is profound,
“Carl Jung believed that the divine child is a symbol of the developing personality and represents milestones in the process of individuation. Individuation is the process of achieving psychological wholeness by transcending the divided and unbalanced parts of the psyche. The divine child appears when least expected, as new potential born from the unconscious. It represents the creative union of opposites that births a new beginning.
Jung believed that the divine child is a sign of the future, of the possibilities of a change in personality, of a bringing together of the known and the unknown parts of ourselves into a new wholeness. It appears as a signal that change is possible, at a time of conflict and possible momentous decision. ” ~ Google AI
Well blow me down with a feather. Parts work - of Internal Family Systems rears it’s head again.
The Libra Moon is about balance. How are you balancing all those parts of you and coming to your core self?
The Moon opposes Mercury Rx, our thoughts and ideas, Venus, our love language, creativity, and earthly desires, Chiron, the shaman and healer who says what are you sacrificing to become more you (it can be parts of the self/habits), and Eris says that it might be time to tell some truths, at least to yourself.
The trine to Chariklo in Aquarius helps you to weave a new story from all of the wisdom of these stories. To stretch into that new container to hold the world, harking back to the post I shared by Lynn Bell yesterday.
The words to the song the Spice Girls sang in the video I shared above on Victoria Beckham’s birthday might have some resonance for your new relationship to the world and your SELF.
“Don't you know it's going too fast
Racing so hard you know it won't last
Don't you know, what can't you see
Slow it down, read the sign, so you know just where you are going
Stop right Now
Thank you very much
I need somebody with the human touch
Hey you you always on the run
Gotta slow it down baby, gotta have some fun”
Life goes by fast, as seen from the perspective of now being 64. Slow it down baby, have some fun, and find that human touch within.
Who knew the Spice Girls would be the bringer of spicey profound messages today lol.
I used to love to dance to them, and I danced a lot back then.
Their video of this song (Venus and her sign Libra is related to music also btw) gives me a glimpse of the working class UK I grew up in also including the type of club - often the British Legion - that I used to dance in. The houses, the people. Oh my goodness. I have to write. I promise this book is sort of Astrology and sort of not. More will be posted for paid Substack subs soon. Here’s the video if you are pinged to listen and watch too.
Just for fun here’s a photo of me in 1997 when I got married
Of course, it might be something else that comes up for you. Follow the nudges today as you look at your own divine child appearing when least expected, as new potential born from the unconscious. Remember, it represents the creative union of opposites that births a new beginning.
In the news, the Trump trial begins under the scales of justice Libra Moon. Hoping that’s a good omen.
What’s coming up for you today?
Feels like my whole life is flashing before our eyes as this massive rebirth continues. In a good way, as the old me dies.
INVITATION TO YOU:-
Join me in Utah in October
I am a Peer Group leader at the wonderful OPA Retreat in Park City Utah in October. I LOVE OPA Retreats. They have a certain intimacy and connection lacking in some events (the other events have different strengths. I would like to invite you to the Retreat on October 16-21. There are fabulous speakers (and a day pass for just that day is also available) but what’s unique about OPA Retreats is the opportunity to do an in-person Peer Group, a track to learn a new technique or an in-person Consulting Skills class. At the core of all those options is becoming an ethical Astrologer. Plus we would get to meet!
The Retreat is called “Celebrating the Aquarian Shift”
And the theme is “Connect and Learn”
If you register this month there is an early bird price and also payment plans available! Check it out and register at this link.
REGISTER for the OPA retreat now!
Have a good one.
I know I will

Louise..it just occurred to be that you were a real Derry girl. Lol
That was amazing to see the Spice Girls..David has always been so supportive and in general a real mensch.
The full moon is finishing the job of flattening me. It's all good though.
Those of us who have been doing the work for a long time are tired.
But a new day is coming.
" I can feel her breathing. " A Roy.

Ok, this is wild...didn't get to this yesterday, and I'm almost glad. In a year where I'm remembering and discovering who I really am, I went on a huge No Doubt kick yesterday after reading about their set being the highlight of Coachella. Tragic Kingdom came out in 1995, but it was about this time in 1997 that I was the sole band kid in middle school auditioning for the high school show choir. I sang "Don't Speak" for my audition, but THEN I had to make up my own choreography or just prove I had rhythm to "Just A Girl" because I didn't know the routine the rest of the middle school show choir kids did. This memory came as part of a revelation on all the times I've been the 'odd one out' and succeeded or thrived! I realized yesterday this is part of my core essence, and this was one of my first memories of that success...my choir director told me my graduating year that she was so glad she took a chance on "the band kid" and accepted a few more based on that experience. Wow. And I have Jupiter/Uranus conj. in Sag in my first house. 🤯
