This is my favorite day of the year. I love celebrating my birthday and I always wake up infused with the magic and possibilities of creation, the wonders of birthing a new me.
This day, this season, is when I feel the energy of planting seeds. What I begin will show me its harvest six months from now, around the time of the Spring Equinox.
As I reflect over the past year, and particularly over the last seven years relative to transiting Saturn as it aspects my natal Moon, I feel my completion on many levels. I have felt the “cycles within cycles,” more palpable than I can ever remember feeling them before. I attribute this to my deep dive into the realms of astrology and the Divine Beauty of Great Mystery…and with that, my activation of a more conscious participation with my relationship to It and Me.
This past year has felt like a grand culmination of my entire life, my first 47 years. My mantra has been about letting go, releasing, endings, death. While my natal Moon/Jupiter in Sag holds the space of optimism for me, my enthusiastic and expanding place of vision and possibilities, it has been challenging to manifest the new, fiery creative impulse bubbling up inside of me, not quite ready to come to a boil. I’m excited to taste that full heat and I know it is arriving soon…very soon!
For now, the message has been about freedom (Uranus), about a reclamation of my Feminine Power (Venus Return) and about taking the elixir I have distilled (Pluto), out into a larger community (Jupiter/AC Cap and Venus Return/MC, Mercury). I look forward to sharing my medicine with you!

Holly, a most happy birthday to you! I’m happy to have been able to spend a bit of it with you. Congrats on the new blog. (beware, it can become addicting!) and I love the butterfly painting!
happy solar return my friend!

Thank you, sweetheart! I look forward to my new creations! I believe you : ) Thanks for your loving my first painting…being the gorgeous artist that you are! It brings a big smile to my face. I love the experience of creating, and never imagined I would paint something, esp. something I love!
All I can say is, “wow” my friend. This website is wondrous, just like your ever changing life. That painting is YOU; the you that has presented after years of chrysalises. It is amazing watching you grow and become the woman you are, like the incredible butterfly totem that represents your life.
Now you’re off to another phase of magic, leaving us all amazed how easily you manifest your dreams to reality.
With love and respect always,
Nancy
Dear Holly,
It is always a joy to hear from you and you blog, although not as wonderful as seeing you in person…is a good second best.
The seeds you have planted with this web blog will hopefully take flight and make it easier to reach out to like minded minions who will appreciate your insights.
Keep up the communications and turn this into a website soon? I would like to see some of your favorite links, inspirations, know more about your class schedules…your philosophies and I may even be willing to buy a few totems, paintings and Holly mugs if ever you added an E-Commerce module…even a great video where we can see you, hear you and be touched by your philosophy.
Remember you are not selling out…but spreading the word. Just keep Chevron and RNC ad banners off of your home page and your butterfly will take flight.
Allen (If you need help…let me know).
