There is nothing about anything that is unimportant. Every detail matters. The tiniest, subtlest pieces are essential for the big picture. Intention precedes attention; attention precedes action; actions produce effects. Multitudes of small choices are just as powerful, if not more so, than singular big decisions.From Renee: I’m inspired this week (every week) by Robin Wall Kimmerer and the ways she brings light to the life that’s all around us. In her book, The Serviceberry, she offers practical, pleasurable ways to make a massive difference. If you feel confused, heartbroken, overwhelmed, defeated, depressed, or just ready for some inspiration, please read or listen to some of what sh

You make somewhere around 35,000 choices every day. The majority of them will be unconscious and automatic. Each choice you make will affect the choices you’ll be able to make after.Today’s New Moon is at 6º Gemini. Mercury, the ‘ruler’ of the new moon, is sextile Neptune in Aries today and trine Pluto in Aquarius tomorrow. This new moon sets the stage for Thursday’s Mercury/Sun conjunction. New decisions are needing to be made. What kinds of changes are you trying to create? How can you bring this energy of change into the subtle choices that you’ll make all day, all week, in all of your actions, behaviors, thoughts and words? Intent precedes action. What would happen if you brought attention to the smallest details of your choices? Instead of trying to figure out the big picture now, what kinds of choices can you make around your intention, attention and energetic awareness? How might these smaller choices affect larger choices later on?This week-ahead reading for May 26 - June 1, 2025 is an excerpt from to

“The survival of the hero is up to you all now. It is important, now more than ever, to fight for all of this, to fight for your rights, for your freedoms, for your art, poetry and music. Because you all need to be heroes, to step up, to speak up, to support each other. It is all about kindness, and you need the doers and the creators. You must pay attention to the ones who listen and hear and do and can and will and share. And to the people of science and art, books and music, otherwise what is the actual point of all this? What was the point? Why are you all here if not for that? You are here for love. To share the love. When hate is rising, then love can only rise higher.” - Salena Godden, Mrs Death Misses Death― This week-ahead reading for May 19-25, 2025 is an excerpt from today’s ⁠Somatic Space class⁠ with Renee Sills.

The astrology of the moment is reminding us that the only thing that's guaranteed is death, and if you don't live now then you might miss your chance. “Let the fire burn you, and the light blind you. Let your belly get full and fat, and embarrass you. Let your words fall out and tumble carelessly and honestly. Let your passions be unlimited. Do your lifetime in your own life time.” – Mrs Death Misses DeathThis week’s astrology is intense and powerful, beginning on Monday with a full moon in Scorpio, along with a square between Mercury in Taurus and Pluto in Aquarius. On Tuesday, Ceres and Saturn form a conjunction at the last degree of Pisces. On Saturday, Mercury will square Mars in Leo, and the sun will form its last conjunction with Uranus in Taurus for the next ~77 years.
