This week-ahead reading for June 2-7, 2025 is an excerpt from today's ⁠Somatic Space class⁠ with Renee Sills.

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 she has to say. Let's re-member together the abundance that we're already part of. To paraphrase RWK, let's imagine what kinds of social and political climates we could be part of creating and tending if we uplifted the idea that humans are empathic mutualists rather than isolated individuals. 

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 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. Come Sunday, Jupiter in Gemini will square the nodes and sextile Chiron. Throughout the week, there will be multiple contacts with the nodal axis, and Venus is leaving its retrograde shadow.This week-ahead reading for May 12-18, 2025 is an excerpt from today's ⁠Somatic Space class⁠ with Renee Sills.
