I don’t mind hearing about whats happening in the North Hem every now and again, but obviously if a (or many) posting is written with regard to North then I am not your intended audience. I am very happy with a few writers who acknowledge both North and South..to see a mention of Australia is pretty special and again it is broadening audience base.

The solstice is not big here at all as far as i am aware. Our Indigenous Australian do not believe in pagan rituals, the closest they come to observing season/celebration is their burning off for bush regeneration, we do not have cultural history that focuses on seasonal change we are however interested in elements of human personality.

We all benefit from feeling belonging.

Jamie – Thanks for sharing. That’s a lot of Pisces! Sounds like you’ve got a high degree of awareness, which is so key for making it through to the ‘good side’ of the Pisces energy. I drank pretty much every day from age 20 to age 33 – I just didn’t know how else to shut off the overwhelm from picking up everyone else’s psychic energy. It worked for a while but then the remedy starting hurting worse than the original disease. I’m so glad and GRATEFUL that I’ve found that I can (a) ground and protect myself enough to deal pretty well with life on life’s terms most days and (b) that I can survive those periods when the emotions overwhelm me, without having to escape or turn off with drugs or alcohol. It was a long journey here, and having the awareness through astrology of why I felt so overwhelmed and sensitive was a big part for me. Hope it is for you too! Much love, DK.

Hey congratulations, man,

I knew I had to quit alcohol when I did. No question I couldn’t handle the hard stuff anymore. But I sure struggled with letting go of pot. And I do feel marijuana helped me at a certain period of my life, I just got to a point where my Inner Guide was telling me, “If you want to grow more, you’ve got to let it go.” Funny you mention music, cuz that’s eventually about the only place I miss it sometimes. But I’m finding that I’m starting to develop that same ability to tune in to different vibrations and instruments I used to only get via pot. Enough about me, though, just wanted to say way to go. I’d recommend getting the book I reference in the post and working with whatever visualizations, flower essences, crystals, etc that resonate with you. Also, you’ve got to make it your own martial arts practice — if you’re drawn to martial arts at all check out NOLA Aikido on Louisa St in the Bywater — and do the grounding, centering, running off excess psychic energy EVERY DAY. If you can make it as a Pisces Moon in New Orleans, you can make it anywhere. But you seriously have to make the psychic protection and honoring your energy a #1 priority, warrior style.

Keep me posted!
