A Personal Story about Connecting with the Stars
Back in the early 1990’s I had a unique opportunity to spend time under the night sky learning about the stars, constellations and ongoing cosmic alignments as well as be witness to the planets moving through these starry realms. 30 years ago (1996) I began writing one of the first ever astrology/astronomy articles for my priestess community monthly newsletter. Then, I decided why not send it to my email list?
I was so amazed at how it caught on. I had maybe a 100 or so people I was sharing my writing with and they started sharing it with their friends. Soon I was getting email requests to be added to my list. The number grew until I had 5000+ free subscribers and had to find an email platform to send from.
In 2005, when I was going through my second divorce, a friend of mine insisted I start charging for this newsletter because in her words it was so comprehensive and so good I shouldn’t be giving it away. Plus, I was about to be a single Mom supporting myself and my youngest son (still in High School) through my astrological work. I agreed and started out charging $29 for an entire year.
I admit that extra income was very helpful and after a decade of having both a free and paid version of my newsletter I decided to let go of the paid version to free up my time for other things. To this day I still offer a free version.
I am sharing this because it was doing that newsletter that ignited my passion about the stars. I started reading books on the fixed stars and felt sadden by the many negative interpretations I found. I was inspired to consider writing a book on the Fixed Stars with new insights that would encourage readers to find their own relationship with the stars. That was back in the 90’s when I was a busy Mom looking after my 4 children.
So the inspiration to write the book faded over time. However, I have written many articles about specific stars that I feel have called to me. And, I started doing videos and then more recently teaching online star classes through My Star Alchemy with Erik Roth that greatly expanded my own understanding of the starry sky.
Starting in February, I am getting the opportunity to share insights on connecting with the stars with the AstroPriestesses. I LOVE the collaboration we have gotten to do with this as it expands my own connection and I imagine it will do the same for you.

Stars and Constellations Highlights
The Sacred Hoop of Stars is high in the sky after Sunset and is marked by the stars Castor and Pollux, Procyon, Sirius, Rigel, the Pleiades and Capella.
At the center of this Hoop is the Galactic Edge where the plane of the galaxy and the plane of the Solar system intersect forming the Galactic Cross where the June Solstice Sun currently rises.
The Sacred Hoop is visible in the Northern hemisphere from November to April with the middle months being the best time to view it.
Betelguese, Rigel and Orion’s Belt are also visible inside the Hoop. See the January 2010 archives for details.
Our brightest fixed star is Sirius (magnitude -1.46) lighting up the winter skies and is also marking the outer edge of the Sacred Hoop.
Capella is located in the constellation of Auriga and is one of the main stars that mark the outer rim of the Sacred Hoop. Auriga, the charioteer, is an imagery associated with this constellation thought to have originated with the Babylonians. Capella (magnitude of 0.08) is the 6th brightest star in our night sky.
Canis Major, the Great Dog, is visible in the northern hemisphere from December through March. This star group can be seen in the southern hemisphere between November and April. This constellation represents the larger of Orion’s two hunting dogs who accompany him as he hunts Lepus, the rabbit. Canis Major is the home of Sirius, the Dog Star, the brightest star in our night sky. At -1.46 magnitude Sirius dominates the winter skies not only marking the outer edge of the Sacred Hoop but is also one of the three stars along with Procyon and Beleguese forming the equilateral triangle known as Heaven’s Gate or the location in the sky many cultures have seen as the entry point into this dimension of experience. Sirius can be easily located by drawing a straight line through the three belt stars in the constellation Orion.
Lepus, the Rabbit, as it was known to the Greeks, is being hunted by Orion’s dogs Canis Major and Canis Minor. In February Lepus is under Orion and to the west or right of dogs. It is located just below Orion and west of Canis Major and Minor. See image above.
February is the best month to see the constellation Columba, the Dove in Northern latitudes. The dove was sent out ahead of the ship Argo by the Argonauts to assist navigation through the narrow passage at the mouth of the Black Sea. The dove was also sent by Noah from his ark to find land and returned carrying an olive branch in its beak.

I am again inspired to share from the book Surfers of the Zuvuya: Tale of Interdimensional Time Travel by José Argüelles.
Similar to the multi-dimensional expression of the Aquarius Mysteries and Neptune and Saturn together in Aries, with an Annular Solar Eclipse on Feb 17 squared by Uranus along with other cosmic alignments the insights from this book help to give a context to the beyond everyday reality opportunities we are experiencing.
*Zuvuya is a Mayan term for our inter-dimensional connection to all past and future dimensions. It is also the universal wave of energy that surrounds all life reminding us that the universe operates within simultaneous dualistic cycles.
One of my great take-aways: the key to surfing the Zuvuya is radical trust and radical surrender.
Another favorite from this book that fits with the revolutionary consciousness energy of Aquarius…we must create a total world transformation including a revolution in attitude – we need to understand our life in a joyous and happy manner – it will NOT work unless we play! More about the book HERE
This is a great time to be asking the Aquarian Question: What is Really Real???
