Spring is a season of pushing and tugging. A season of transition that surfaces the past and present, meshed together so closely that we cannot see them separately.

What do you value? What do you really want? If we look beneath the surface, of all our external pursuits, we all want the same three things: lasting happiness, knowledge/awareness and immortality. 

As we make our way into 2024, what matters most to you? What is the currency of your life? What do you value above all else? How do you spend TIME and WHY? 

If I was alone, I probably would have turned back but on that day, I was hiking for Deva. Her favorite thing in the world to do is hike and I wasn’t going to keep her from reaching the summit. 

Allow yourself to be immersed in the luxurious notes of our Aromatic Milk & Honey Ritual Bath, the invigorating harmony of the Aromatic Steam Shower, and the celestial joy of the iSun Celestial Aromatherapy option.

December brings us dreams and heart healing. Mercury goes retrograde with the truth-seeking Sagittarius new moon. Winter officially begins with the December solstice, starting the new year in the dark and stillness. The Cancer full moon invites love and nurturing in at the height of the holiday busyness. Lots is happening, but there is an abundance of watery heart energy to sustain us.

You may feel an internal pull to slow down, go inward and rest, yet our calendar year is ramping up with social engagements, spending money, and the end of off season. We are receiving a forceful push out of the internal. How do we navigate both?

How can we be grateful for the gifts and the challenges that were passed on to us through generations of ancestry?

How does one connect with their higher self? Many believe they need a special mantra, breathing technique, teaching, or guru but is this true? Do we need something to embody our true state of being or is it simply a choice we need to make? 

October brings us another eclipse season. We have a partial solar eclipse Saturday, October 14 and a lunar eclipse, later in the month. Venus moves into Virgo and reaches her greatest distance from the Sun from our view. We end the month with seasonal celebration of Samhain.

From day one, we knew we were building a place of community, healing, education and service. A place that would outlast us for generations to come, a center that would enhance the lives of all who visited. The intention for True Nature as a gift to our community and humanity was the top priority from day one. 

The biggest astrological occurrence in September is the beginning of the new Venus cycle!
Venus has risen into the morning sky. She is in the Morning Star phase of her 19-month long series. It is the beginning of the journey, and this brings a fiery aspect to the Feminine right now. She’s up. She’s pumped. She’s ready and rearing to go. Just like the eastern dawn light that begins the day, this initial period is characterized by new beginnings, awakening, and awareness.

Fall is a natural time to begin something new—a project, career change, relationship or transition out of old patterns into new ways of being.

August is bookended by Full Moons! Venus ends and starts a new 19-month cycle of the Goddess. We have the cross-quarter celebration of Lammas. Mars changes signs. Mercury goes retrograde on the same day the Sun enters Virgo. There is A LOT going on in the sky!

The psychiatrist M. Scott Peck wrote a beautiful book on personal discipline, love, and grace called The Road Less Travelled. He called it that because most people never take up this inner journey, choosing instead to remain hypnotized by the unending presentation of shiny objects fabricated within the collective waking dream. 

July is feeling mellower, astrologically speaking. There are lots of minutiae connections between the planets, especially the Moon, but let’s focus on the big items and feel a little ease with the astrology in July!

June is packed with astrological happenings! Two major planets go retrograde, Pluto moves back into Capricorn, and it’s officially summer with the Solstice. There’s so much going on. Let’s jump right in!

This month at True Nature we honor sacred Mother Earth—her power, nurturance, and beauty. We only have to walk through the forest, swim in the ocean, or climb a mountain to feel her majesty.

May starts while we’re still in eclipse season, leading us into the lunar eclipse on the full Moon. Mercury stations direct and kicks off a new Mercury cycle.
