AURUM ASTROLOGY Finding the Gold in Life

As this New Moon today in Gemini has the potential to open up our creative pathways (see previous posts) it seems appropriate time to post a bit more about the 'Art and Soul' Collage workshops . Next workshop in Calgary Ab   June 20th Full Moon in Sagittarius  6:30 - 9:00 pm See 'Art and Soul ' tab above for contact info. ‘Art and Soul’ Collage is a simple and easy collage process that  helps us to express our inner self via visual imagery. It's a fun, safe, and inspiring way to get in touch with various aspects of our psyche in a group setting  (although of course you can do it anytime anywhere). 5" x 8 " Inspired by and based on “SoulCollage® created by Seena B. Frost, 'Art and Soul' Collage is my own local version of this wonderfully creative and satisfying collage process. No artistic training required: Anyone can do it. One by one we make our own deck of cards - each collage card representing one aspect of our

Gemini represents the duality of the mind. It shows up a dualistic  thinking (us and them) that includes much  variety and diversity (which is good) or gets us  tangled us up in endless mental threads (not so good).  Neptune and Jupiter both help open the doors of perception,  as well as amplify the tendency to get lost in a mental labyrinth.  We can become very distracted now by anyone and anything, or use the energies to access our intuitive mind.  This is a wonderful opportunity to tune into our creative imagination. It can also lead us into illusions and delusions.  Saturn opposite anchors and balances out this tendency to get caught up in our head, and hopefully stops us from  spouting  a load of nonsense (Gemini run amok), which include hand me down theori

A New Moon is the 'conjunctio' , the sacred marriage of Sun (masc/yang) and Moon (fem/yin). Their union triggers an alchemical process that produces new energy for a new cycle. This is a seed time where we plant our intentions and watch them grow. The New Moon in Gemini this weekend is particularly interesting as it links to a Mutable Grand Cross configuration that is like a portal to something new and exciting. Mutable signs are highly creative and also extremely changeable.  Everything is shifting as we speak. Our thoughts and intentions are especially powerful and potent now, as the alchemical merger draws closer. As our unconscious mind bubbles and boils, we enter the 'Dark of the Moon', the time just before the exact conjunction occurs.  That is a time to pause and reflect on what we really want. It's not a logical process. We will have to feel our way through, let our intuition guide us. As the energy morphs, meanders and mutates, it is con
