MAY ASTROLOGY
May begins with a shift in trajectory following the Solar Eclipse this past Saturday with the Taurus New Moon. Solar eclipses signify bold new beginnings and whichever house has the sign Taurus in your personal Astrology chart marks the theme for where this shift will occur.
Coming up on Sunday, May 15 is a Lunar Eclipse - a culmination and decisive ending corresponding with the Full Moon in Scorpio - the most witchy moon of the year….
Why I Became a Drag Queen…
I started doing drag the week of my 46th birthday in February of 2020, about a month before the pandemic lock-down. I attended a fundraiser for the Providence-made scary-movie Death Drop Gorgeous, held at Barnaby Castle on Broadway in Providence with my brother and my roommate at-the-time - it was an exciting, glamorous event and perfect for my Pisces-birthday!
Feng Shui Your Life
Feng shui, also known as Chinese geomancy, is an ancient Chinese traditional practice which claims to use energy forces to harmonize individuals with their surrounding environment. The term feng shui means, literally, "wind-water". From ancient times, landscapes and bodies of water were thought to direct the flow of the universal Qi – “cosmic current” or energy – through places and structures. Because Qi has the same patterns as wind and water, a specialist who understands them can affect these flows to improve wealth, happiness, long life, and family; on the other hand, the wrong flow of Qi brings bad results. More broadly, feng shui includes astronomical, astrological, architectural, cosmological, geographical, and topographical dimensions.
Trans Visibility Day at Legacy Boston
Yesterday, March 31st, was International Trans Visibility Day! I have so many incredible trans friends in my life and I feel blessed to know each one of them (and me too - I identify as non-binary).
I was super-excited to go my favorite nightclub, Legacy in Boston to celebrate this special day with some of my favorite trans-icons!
The Astrology of April
April 2022 is a very special month this year for it both begins and ends with a New Moon, indicating new beginnings.
The April 1st New Moon in Aries will truly usher in the start of the growing season this year (and hopefully the end of cold snaps!) and time is ripe for seeding early Spring plants like peas, greens, poppies and pansies.
The Sun-Moon conjunction (a new moon) will also include a conjunction to the major asteroid, Chiron, representing the wounded-healer. Both our vulnerability and an opportunity to deepen our wisdom and compassion will arise powerfully and deepen throughout this month.
Suddenly Last Summer…. All-Star Ru-Girls take-over Providence!
Suddenly last summer the pandemic parted and the Queens came out to play!
These photos are from an unbelievable drag block party that happened in downtown Providence just before the finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 6 aired on TV.
Drag in the Creative Capitol
Every Thursday at Club EGO on Richmond Street, the “EGO Babes” put on an all-star drag show, with new one-of-a-kind performances every week - so it hurts to miss it!
Last Night at the Stable….
The Stable Bar in Downtown Providence, Rhode Island has become a destination venue for the darker side of drag talent. With Boston’s famed Violencia Exclamation Point and Providence’s own Ninny Nothin as resident hosts, the Stable has been importing stars from the dark-drag competition television series, Dragula much to the delight of local drag super-fans.
Portal in the Sky: Full Moon/Equinox Weekend
The perfect symmetry of day and night opens an archetypal portal and the gateway to Springtime with the much needed rejuvenation of sunlight, budding plants and comfortable weather.
The Equinox is honored by making wishes and setting new intentions. The histories demonstrate human beings have been doing this since the dawn of consciousness.
Honor your ancestors and your Gods and ask for specifically what you most deeply desire to receive from this concupiscent season.
February 2022 Astrology
February begins under the spell of the Aquarius New Moon, now Void of Course and offering a penetrating spaciousness - a pervasive stillness. As the snowfall over the weekend cleansed the atmosphere of chaotic waves of manifestation, at Imbolc, we seek to cleanse the chaotic waves within our own consciousness.
Imbolc, on February 2 and adapted as GroundHog Day in the United States, marks the turning towards Spring and the time to plan for the seeds you will sow following Spring Equinox - now just 7 weeks away.
January 2022 Astrology
2022 - the Year of the Tiger - promises to be an energetic, restorative year, marked by the transit of Jupiter through Pisces, a sign of Jupiter's ruling.
Jupiter is a planet that brings information and experience together to form meaning and in Pisces, the crucible of meaning centers on faith in a loving universe.
We begin 2022 in a contemplative quietude with the New Moon in Capricorn on Jan 2, Venus is still retrograding…
