The recent spring equinox is an unusually important one because it ushers in Neptune to the 0° Aries point, the first step in the Fool's journey. It also occured between eclipses.
Can we step through to our power despite the outer circumstances?

New Moon in Pisces ♓️ has me making wishes in my wish bottle. It is the end of the tropical year. Next new moon will be in Aries ♈️ and we will be ready to get going and do our part in making our wishes come true.

Today, my brother-in-law and I got back in the studio. He painted one of his favorite subjects - Chicago. Locally, Jim is a Rockstar.
"One day I just knew - I'm an artist!" says Jim. "Never give up! If I can do it, so can you!"

WOW!

A sequence of two bright 'stars' going from top left to bottom right with a foreground of trees. The top bright 'star' is the planet Venus and the fainter bottom one is Saturn. The image is a composite, made up of individual shots taken 5 minutes apart as the planets set in the southwest on 18 January 2025.

Good morning East Texas.

I have 1200 followers on fb and nearly 700 on Instagram. It doesn't sound like much but I've worked hard to get those numbers.Now those platforms are ruined by their owner.

Bluesky seems to be a lovely space but it's starting to feel like it did when I changed from cassettes to CD'S.

The fort was built in the 1600s. The moon has risen here for time immemorial. Those we miss, who live far away, see her too. Connection.

I had the opportunity to speak with the ocean, and She was generous. I know now, more than ever, I am loved. I am a living part of this 🌎 good Earth, and I am able to give love in return.

Last time Puto was in Aquarius there was revolution AND slavery AND the start of genocide - "power over." This time around we are conscious of Pluto's presence and the "power to" it provides. Let's revolutionize humanity and community to include all our relatives and commune with our Mother - Earth.

My day at work today.

It's cold in east Texas and the Caddo Mounds resident alligator, Little Snappy, is staying warm in the sun.

This little pot is not much to get excited about. It's cute and looks great on the kitchen counter. But I am super excited about our.

It has been over a year since I've been in the studio. Soon these little pots will be all over my social media feed, and I can't wait.

Out and about.

Family is the first priority.

Today I am thinking about clarity of vision, seeing the truth, deviating from norms, and authenticity. I hope I don't drown.

One of the things I love about being a potter is USING handmade pottery. This meal came from the local farmer's market and made it even more beautiful.

Need more books? Well, actually, I need more shelves. 📖 🪱

With the Sun sextile Pluto what we imagine has the power to manifest. What is the BEST that xould happen is a legitimate question and one for which we can prepare.💚

Hilma af Klint was briefly a part of the spiritualist movement and created a series of work that described interactions with her spirit guides.
She was a classically trained artist. However, her opportunities were limited by her gender.

Hilma af Klint. Not Hillary.🙄 I am struggling with the lack of editing ability here.

Hillary af Klint was likely the first abstract artist. I love her work because it speaks to an inner knowing that I can sometimes access. What my heart knows but for which I am without words.

I've twice mentioned here that reading Robin Hobb has helped me get through this month. Someone asked me why and I outlined all the things I appreciate about the Assassin Trilogy as an author, editor, English PhD, MFA-holder, poet, retired prof who taught lit.... I could've just posted this excerpt:

I was trying to figure out why I have this sense of new beginnings - especially prioritizing the truly important relationships in my life.
Pluto moves into Aquarius at 2:31 pm central and will be in the 11th house of humanity. Let's come together and dream a beautiful world together. ❤️
