All of us experience periods in our lives where we are standing at a crossroads. Sometimes we are consciously aware that we are at a turning point, sometimes it is just a nagging sense of dis-ease or boredom or perhaps we feel that we have somehow lost a crucial part of ourselves. We are standing at a threshold, an opening into a new world, full of unexplored territory.
As the God of thresholds and the crossroads Mercury is a liminal guide. As one who can move between the worlds, he assists us in the navigation between spaces. When we are standing at a crossroads within our lives, and its time to move the story forward it’s Mercury that comes a-calling. It’s to him that must we send our prayers for guidance on these new roads.
As an archetypal energy within our natal charts, Mars acts on behalf of our dreams and desires. In short, he gets things done, he breaks through barriers, he lets us know what is worth fighting for within our lives. Used consciously he penetrates past our current limits and carries us forward into new territory.
This fall, both Mercury and Mars are going to be retrograde together. Retrogrades are powerful if you use their energy. When the personal planets are retrograde, it is an opportunity to refocus and reclaim possibility. It is a time of slowing down and reassessing what direction we want to head off in and what we desire to create, it is a calling towards a new focal point of our lives in the months ahead. Mercury allows us to develop and use our voice within the world, Mars asks us ‘What is worth fighting for?’. When we can consciously use these two archetypes in concert with each other, we harness their energy. Imagine what would you life be like if your thoughts/mind (Mercury) and your will (Mars) were acting in alignment?
When we consciously align ourselves with our soul's intentions (which is the voice of our heart speaking to us), doors open, and opportunities appear that are more than you could have imagined. But can you have to be willing and able to hear the call?
Thresholds: is a profound and inspiring eight-week workshop designed to assist the transitions we must make as we cross from one part of our life to another. Whether these are personal or professional passages, at their essence these turning points can be understood as opportunities to engage in a deeper conversation with ourselves; one that allows us to catch up with the part of ourselves that is already standing on a new frontier.
Together in this workshop, we will cultivate presence while building a bridge to take us from one land to another, from one territory to another, to land in a place of open receptivity, whilst still experiencing a sense of being firmly grounded as we move forward along this pilgrimage called life.
While we will use your astrological charts to enhance your perception of yourself in relation to your experience of life this is not an “astrology class,” though you may learn a little astrology.
This class is for anyone who feels that they are poised at a crossroads, is out to have a breakthrough in their creativity and self-expression, willing to initiate a courageous conversation with themselves on behalf of leaving behind what it’s time to leave behind (whatever is no longer enlivening) and is hungry to step out onto new ground of aliveness in their life, particularly as we head into the New Year that 2025 will bring.
Space is extremely limited to keep the group small and intimate
As with all of my classes, this will be a small group as I have found it lends to both the power and intimacy of the experience. In addition to class time, I am giving each student a private 30-minute one-on-one session to more profoundly explore and illuminate how this double retrograde is activating their chart and opening new possibilities. We will practice attuning ourselves, through guided meditations, imagery, self-care practices, visualizations, myth-making, and creative projects. As well as some of the tools in my 33-year background facilitating Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way.
