I AM Possible Online Event

We can all agree that 2020 was a life-changing year, both collectively and individually. We have felt more connected than ever before, sharing common problems and concerns that remind us that we are all together in this journey. Simultaneously, we have also experienced the fragmentation of a system that needs to be transformed.

But how? What can you do to be part of this change?

What can you do to be part of a heart-centered revolution?

And the answer is quite simple:

Skywatcher’s Corner – Using Mars to Find Aries

By J. Awen Labow, Managing Director

Ares, the name for the God of War among the ancient Greeks later became known as Mars to the Romans. We give the name Mars to our red-hued planet, and NOT the name “Ares,” but the name “Aries,” which comes from the Latin for “ram” – to the first sign of the zodiac. In most circles, the name “Aries” is also given to the constellation depicting a ram. In order to dispel at least some of this confusion, in the SAMS, we refer to the zodiac sign as Aries and the constellation as The Ram. So, in truth, we are not using Mars (aka Ares) to find Aries, but rather to find The Ram! Phew! Read More

The Autumn Hunter

The harbinger of late autumn can be seen in the night sky from the northern hemisphere around 9 or 10 pm as we look southward.  Just as the harvest moon is followed by the hunter moon, following the autumn harvest is the rise of the great Hunter Orion, named by Greek mythology. Though this star group has other mythical origins and names from other cultures the Hunter image relates well to this time of year and the focus of life as the seasons turn. 

Historically, the harvest is completed by October’s end and hunting wild game follows as winter approaches.  The Hunter constellation, aka Orion, is located on the Celestial Equator and visible from both the northern and southern hemispheres.

The Hunter is  easily identified by the three bright stars evenly spaced and forming his belt.  This prominent belt displays the stars Alnilam, Mintaka and Alnitak. The brighter stars Betelgeuse marks his top left shoulder and Bellatrix his right shoulder. Read More

New Moon in Scorpio

November 13/14 included the third and final Jupiter conjunct Pluto in Capricorn. The same day the Moon conjuncted Venus in Libra and then Mars went direct in Aries.

All long awaited alignments. If you’ve been feeling a strong pull, an off-feeling or have been having an intense experience: this might be why!

November 15 is the New Moon in Scorpio!

The sun is in the season of Scorpio and the moon is here to meet it. This makes a new moon. A new lunar cycle.

A new moon is always a time to plant seeds of intention. In the sign of Scorpio the energies are best worked with when including a Scorpionic feel. Read More
