Mystics Almanac

It is time to rise up again sweet Mystics.

Yes - the message is familiar and stronger this time.

You. Are. Needed. Now.

Not tomorrow, not when you have more training,
and not when you think you are ready.

Right. Now.

The world hasn’t stopped suffering, hurting or having too much on its plate and you play a critical role in its healing and in shifting the paradigms of what’s possible, what’s available and what’s ready to be changed right now. 

What people need, and what the world needs is SP…

A message to the reader...

*This astrological interpretation & divination focuses on the U.S. context. As an Evolutionary Astrologer, Depth Psychologist, and Indigenous wisdom-keeper, I do not believe it is possible to extract myself from my context, perspective, and experience. Therefore, I encourage all readers to translate the message and central energetic themes to their own unique context, trusting their intuition and discernment as to what is for them, and leaving the rest. Safe travels. …

Step forward into the not knowing in trust. There are many footsteps on the path before you. You do not need to journey alone. - The Mystics Path

And just like that, October offers relief as Mercury stations direct in Virgo on the 1st of the month and makes supportive trines to Pluto, stationing direct a week later, as well as Uranus. It is a month marked by trine and sextile aspects of ease in almost equal measure to the last couple of months of opposition and squares. There is love here, a …

As told to Okomfo Yao Nson Dankwaa (Barrington Salmon) 

The old Chinese adage reminds us that we’re living in very interesting times. I don’t have to tell you about upheaval, unrest, uncertainty or fear because you’ve lived and are living it. 

You had become too comfortable, following your routines, living your lives, most of you dug in like ticks as you chased your version of the American Dream. I have told you before that the trajectory this country and much of the world is on is unsustainab…

The remembering what has been forgotten is a powerful process. It is worthy of every moment it takes. - The Mystics Path

There are 8 planets and asteroids retrograde by September, all weighing in on one side of the zodiac wheel between Capricorn and Taurus. Therefore again, tense aspects will be in play between inner and outer planets and points very likely to be experienced by our conscious minds as friction, frustration, and even despair. As Mercury retrogrades through Libra & Virgo thi…

Pain is real, but it’s also a force of awakening. Pain can deceive you by tempting you to resist the journey before you. It can make you believe the journey is not yours to embark upon. It can make you believe that maybe you'd be better off as is, in the status quo. This is a lie. Pain can lie. Pain does lie; yet, while the pain you feel is real, its message need not hold you back. You’ve walked this path before. You’ve been on it all your life. The path is your life. It has twists and turns, jo…

The magnitude of collective loss has ruptured the Earth’s levee. At no other time in modern history has grief been so squarely at the forefront of so many lives. 2019 the collective grief began spooling itself around global events and issues. 2020 saw this spooling energy unleash in a myriad of ways; blindsiding us in its turbulent waters. 2021, we witnessed our globe, deep in action, pushing for recovery and return to what life used to be; denying the presence of the pools of water rising stead…

July will slow the energy down in ways we really need. Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto will be retrograde in the late degrees of the “oldest” signs of the zodiac, representing the  4th quadrant of the life wheel - Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Although it is a month of cardinal cross energies activated in tension and inspiring us to initiate important movement forward that will give rise to the blooming of our intentions in the fullness of fixed fire summer energy by end of the month, there is cau…

"The world will change. Because it has to change." (James Baldwin)

As we pause to look into the future, we often find ourselves at the open sea. In times of longing for familiarity, we may struggle with two seemingly conflicting desires. On the one hand, we want to keep ourselves afloat, connected to the fabric of consensual reality, to find a sense of preparedness in the face of so many layers of collapsing systems. On the other hand, we feel a pull towards the deep waters, the dark abyss unde…

Ifa, (the wisdom of nature), greets the Modern Mystics with an invitation to expansion and exploration of self by being patient, truthful, and making the necessary sacrifices
in 2022. The previous two years of this new decade have been a great awakening for some and a nightmare for others. 2020 was about system and order, a sense of limitation, structure, and foundation. 2021 was about progression, newness, and constructive use of freedom. Excitement and creativity ensued for some and others were…
