“Feminism is becoming an antiquated term for a new awareness of human identity.” -Viva Blanca

Kate and Toni talk about the F-word: Feminism.

With all the activation of women’s voices and our increasing presence and power in the political, social, and economic realms in western culture, it seems to us that a new definition of Feminism is needed.

The outdated understanding of having to become like men in order to prove worth, validate existence, or earn equal pay no longer applies.

And so – what does apply?

What’s the definition of Modern Feminism?

What does Feminism today address? How inclusive is it?  What is feminine energy + how does it operate?

Join us in this initial dive, as we begin to explore face to face, heart to heart, and soul to soul this modern phenomenon of the “feminine rising.”

Let us know what your thoughts and experiences are and have been in our ever-evolving world.  You can comment on the various podcast platforms and also find us on social media.

“The evolutionary intent of the Aquarius archetype is to constantly embrace freedom. Freedom from the past, freedom from the known, freedom from convention, freedom from anything the has already happened. Freedom is the intent.” ~Ari Moshe Wolfe

What Does Aquarian New Moon offer?

In looking forward to the Equinox chart (March 21st), which has Aquarius Rising and Saturn @00 Aquarius, the upcoming Aquarius New Moon January 24th is prep and an invitation to rise above the heaviness of the 3D patriarchal Capricorn guise and envision what we want to create.

Of course, if we have karma or un-embraced areas of life that need attending, the Cap planets will call us to do so first and foremost.

Basically: what we embrace now and envision, we can move forward with a build (Saturn) by the Equinox.

Uranus, ruling planet of Aquarius is now direct. ALL PLANETS are in actually direct motion now, so it's full steam ahead for envisioning and establishing our future(s).

Actual chart
Aquarius New Moon sextile Chiron in Aries
Mercury in Aquarius
Lots of Air - so new ideas, possibilities for addressing our collective wound ideas on how to move forward now— all relative to where this lands in your chart.

Moon has just crossed over all the Capricorn influences (Pallas, South Node, Jupiter, Pluto, Saturn, Ceres) so build up—the Dark of the Moon (just before the New Moon)—will feel heavy…the energy will lift once the moon moves into Aquarius and joins the Sun.

URANUS in square to New Moon and Pallas - some kind of radical action(s) will come forward now, effecting the elite, money, humankind.  Aquarius energy shakes things up, so what needs to be loosened up a bit?

Venus with Neptune - dreams will be heightened and illuminated, or overdoing drugs, drinking, media addiction will be present. What we align with is reflective of reaching for the higher octaves of both Venus and Neptune (Venus is love, Neptune High Love), or standard illusory patterns of love.

Venus is still trine, though separating, with the North Node (what we are all cultivating now) in Cancer (ruled by the Moon).  How do we want to be nourished, cared for by self and others?  Cancer rules women, nourishment, nurturing, emotions, emotional sensitivity, breasts, and the stomach.

New Moon inconjuncts (disconnects) the North Node so there may be a disconnect towards our emotional body, emotional needs.  The trick with inconjunctions (called a Finger of God) is to apply attention to make a connection, it doesn’t happen on its own.

You got this! We got this!

In our last episode, we talked about money. Today, we expand on this tantalizing topic with a powerful teacher of prosperity.

Prosperity is a big word. It encompasses health, well-being, a sense of purpose - and it also includes money substance.  Kate and Toni invite Candice Gee, a financial consultant with a business management focus and entertainment-based client roster, to facilitate a discussion about the principles of prosperity.

We begin with the principles and then go deeper to talk about how to apply these principles in our daily lives. Self-inquiry and excavation are required to transform from a mindset of lack to one of abundance.

Candice is a visionary and has advised and educated innumerable individuals on prosperity, inspirational living, and the ‘how to’ in realizing financial independence.

This work can help you! And it may even CHANGE you. And if you change, everything in your world may do so also.

This prosperity work invites souls to excavate murky areas within themselves that have created stagnation, particularly where money is concerned. She brings to light the emotional underpinnings and limiting beliefs that often undergird our behaviors with money.

Ms. Gee is a graduate of the executive leadership program at the Anderson School of Business at UCLA and is an ordained Minister currently serving as Director of Membership at Agape International Spiritual Center. Rev. Candice teaches workshops on money and finance at spiritual centers and business venues throughout the United States.

GOOD NEWS: You have an upcoming opportunity to attend the Prosperity From the Inside Out workshop beginning February 12, 2020. Review the course description and register for the online class at www.modernwisdominstitute.com.

The New Moon in Capricorn is Thursday, December 26, 2019

We have numerous planets now in Capricorn, as we build up to the Solstice (December 21/22, depending on locale) and the New Moon Solar Eclipse on December 26th.

Capricorn is Earth, Feminine/Yin. As we step into winter in the northern hemisphere, this is a time to be inward and rest as much as possible to restore the inner yin and Kidney chi. If you can find a Tai Chi or Qi Gong class in your area, it is a wonderful way to nourish and build (Capricorn) your inner resources, as well as the physical body strength--muscles and bones (Capricorn rules the bones).

Eclipses are windows in time, where endings and beginnings occur that are fated.

A New Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon meet in the exact time and space location/degree--what we call a conjunction in astrology.

The Sun represents soul purpose; the Moon reflects our emotional makeup.

With both Sun and Moon currently next to Jupiter (the amplification planet) everything is bigger, in addition to a heightened Eclipse energy, we’ll be highly attuned and sensitive for addressing our practical needs and anything that needs solid footing or foundations, particularly in sync with our soul’s directives.

This partial Solar Eclipse initiates us into 2020 with a clear grasp of what foundations we need to lay to foster our dreams and visions into physical time and space.

This New Moon is further supported by its trine to Uranus in Taurus (earth changes, definite change in weather patterns, surprising new ways or even eccentric means towards getting our needs met - financially and physically). With all these earth planets in action we can now take the visions we've had all of 2019 (numerology 3 - year of creativity) and put them into practical application.

Capricorn is all about practical stewardship of anything (our lives, a business, a community). Coupled with moving into the numerology of 4 in 2020 (down to brass tack basics, conscientiousness, responsibility, firm footing and solid foundations), we will all be embracing the basic realities of Capricorn and how we navigate this archetype. There is the consensus reality - mainly patriarchal, and a sovereign reality - empowered consciousness. No astrologer ever says Capricorn is easy, though it's all in how one navigates (ancient Capricorn is the Seagoat, so we do have rudders to assist in this time - more next Podcast about this!).

The merging of Saturn and Pluto on January 12th, just after the Lunar Eclipse on the 10th, marks significant endings and beginnings on personal and global scale. The archetypes of Saturn/Pluto together can be described as constrained explosion, or an implosion of structures that do not pass the test of time, or are false or superficial, lacking strength and truthfulness. Pluto is volcanic fire and any shaky foundations won't hold up to its power. Pressure (Saturn) will increase and match Pluto's deep velocity. The last conjunct of Saturn/Pluto was 1982 that brought a recession. And the one previous 1914 (which was a triple conjunction not to occur again until 2053) brought WWI.

Spiritually speaking, because of the planetary merging of these two "malefics," on the cusp of the coming Lunar Eclipse, this is a time to be in prayer and meditation, to be in practice to help lift up your own soul/life – as well as the collective.

Sending you All Solstice Light and Love,
Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, and Happy New Year!

The New Moon in Sagittarius is Tuesday, November 26, 2019, at 10:06AM Eastern

We are welcoming in a Sagittarius New Moon - it's a fun one! Optimistic, big horizons to lift our vision to something more expansive and aligned with your soul’s brilliance. Set your intentions!

Uranus (a 4th-dimensional change agent, future-oriented) is in aspect to the New Moon, Mars, Venus, and Jupiter, and is activating us to wake-up!, assisting us to have radical shifts in consciousness – what, precisely, are we aligning with? The contracted past energy or the wave of the Uranian future towards humanitarianism and the unknown--it's all based on what we are conjuring in our minds, hearts, and souls.

Just before the New Moon - Jupiter, the ruling planet of Sagittarius, comes into union with the Galactic Center (26 Sagittarius), a cosmic portal that helps us come into alignment with High Consciousness and the Natural Law component we discussed in our episode. This signals heightened psychic sensitivity to new information in consciousness coming in, supporting us in opening our perspectives, along with fertile providence if you are engaging in any sort of energy healing .

Jupiter also will be conjunct Venus, a very positive beneficial aspect — can bring money, success, prominence, big opportunity, depending on where it falls in your chart. In early cardinal signs (Capricorn), they touch into the World Point, which could put us on the world stage, so to speak, bringing our work out into the world with more visibility.

Additionally, Venus (money, relationships, the body) and Jupiter (vision, expansion, freedom) are in trine to Uranus (quick sudden awakenings, breaking free, changes, enlightenment). This is highly creative energy, helps us see things from a unique point of view, and brings new pathways into reality.

On November 24th, Mars opposes Uranus, and unexpected opportunities come forward that can be very helpful as well as new ways to rewrite personal patterns, along with an emphasis on earth changes (i.e., volcanoes, earthquakes).

Remember, we have an eclipse coming, just after the northern hemisphere Winter Solstice, which we’ll begin feeling one to two weeks prior. I'll share about it in our next New Moon episode.

New Scorpio Moon Tricks & Treats!

The New Moon in Scorpio is October 27, 2019, 20:38 PT/23:38 ET & October 28, 3:38 UTC

Surprises, possibly something deep, dark, and even shocking! You’ll definitely want to catch this New Moon’s episode.

Why? Because – in addition to what we addressed in our episode - the wildcard planet Uranus is in opposition to the Moon and Sun, which means something illuminating can birth forth. Uranus works with lightning speed, and in the light of this new moon, there is great potential for your higher mind to pierce any stuck emotions. Also, be aware that this could bring unexpected change.

We also have three additional planets in Scorpio - Venus, Pallas, and Mercury. Venus in Scorpio pulls us into the deeper themes of life, that which is hidden and unseen, to penetrate to deeper truth, the bottom line, to uncover what is brewing there - and thus what we may need to let go of, to begin anew.

Scorpio can be very secretive, withdrawn, and avoidant of deeper realms. If something within is calling you, access the courage and wisdom of Pallas to support. Be willing to reach for help. Scorpio can take us to the edge, so if you're feeling that way, don't hesitate to ask for help.

Venus in Scorpio loves sparkling clothes, funky sexy outfits, she is the Queen of Costume so have fun if you're attending a costume gala or party this Halloween and expect the unexpected.  

Post New Moon, Mercury is on the verge of going retrograde for 3 weeks (Oct 31-Nov 17) - hold on to your hats - all the juicy stuff is coming to the surface!

FYI: Bach Flower Essence for Scorpio is Cherry Plum – excellent support for the deep dives!

Equinox (Sun Ingresses into Libra) Sacred Shift in the Seasons - Monday, September 23rd
Libra New Moon (Sun and Moon in Libra) - Saturday, September 28th

We have already entered Libra energy with Mercury and Venus traveling in the sign of the scales (communication with All our Relations is highlighted).  Then the Sun's entrance into Libra on September 23rd--the Equinox (equal day and equal night)--kicks off official Libra season, and then the New Moon follows on the 28th.  This year also includes Venus (Libra's ruling planet) emerging as the Evening Star in the night sky, the day after the new moon.

So this turn in the seasons brings in the social aspect of relationships--relating, harmonizing, mediating and fostering balance, justice, and peace.  This is the desire of Libra energy.  This desire can lead us to adjust to others desires (which can breed co-dependence--a much bigger conversation can be had here--or our projection of what we think others want) rather than honoring balance in relationships (which means we need to speak up, adjust by rocking the boat so we are inclusive of ourselves, while also including others). 

This new Venusian cycle brings great blessings in alchemizing our heart's desire into literal form (we have lots of help now from Saturn moving in direct motion in Capricorn).  What are we seriously desiring to bring forward into reality?

The New Moon brings a rawness to it, as it opposes Chiron in Aries - many will be considering their deepest wounds around doing it all alone, never having support, being self-absorbed/self-centered chronically, issues around shining and difficulty individuating (becoming themselves fully).

3 September 2019 – What is the question I want to have my life answer? In this episode the discussion covers infinite listening and consciousness. Dr. Clara Mosley is recognized by many as a mystic, one who possesses excellent clarity, divine insight, and phenomenal intuition. In honoring her gifts, many affectionately call her Ma Mosley. She conducts classes, workshops, personal counseling, sacred ceremonies, and speaking engagements. Over the years Ma Mosley has masterminded numerous ongoing Wisdom and Goddess Gatherings, and through her practitioner (wise counsel) practice, she has inspired many.

Her focus is directing individuals to their own magnificence, through an integrative approach of science, philosophy, and spirituality. Dr. Clara is a licensed and ordained minister, holds a Masters degree in Religious Science, and a Ph.D. in Metaphysical Science.

Clara Mosley was born in Louisiana. She’s proud of her southern roots and often reflects on lessons learned during her early years of living in a segregated society, under Jim Crow. Her parenting mother, Bertha, while having no formal education, was brilliant and wise. She taught Clara essential life lessons, particularly how to relate to others, or as Bertha would say, “How to do." Clara acted as an intermediary for her parents in literate matters, as neither could read or write. These encounters piqued her interest in behavioral psychology, which she would later include in her formal academic studies.

Dr. Clara continued her academic studies at Santa Monica College, West LA College, and UCLA. After attending Unity churches for several years, in 1991, she began attending Agape International Spiritual Center. Soon after, she enrolled in practitioner training at United Church of Religious Science headquarters (Founders Church) and graduated with a license in 1993. She served for many years in Agape’s Practitioner Studies/Education Ministry, eventually becoming a Lead Instructor. Next, she entered the City of Angels Ministerial Program while simultaneously earning a Ph.D. from the University of Sedona - Metaphysical University.

Currently, Dr. Clara is the Ecclesiastical Director of Guidance Church of Religious Science in Los Angeles, California.
