We recently talked about the effect of Pluto, Saturn and the South Node being together in the skies this year. Today we’re going to focus on Saturn and the South Node as these two are pretty much side by side for the next 4 months until the end of September. This is a huge time for getting your act together, letting go of what needs to be let go of, and moving forward with purpose. Whether by choice or through circumstance it will feel like you are coming face to face with the past over and over again. You may be confronted to look at: What old baggage am I still carrying around? What old stories and beliefs am I holding that no longer serve me? What patterns do I keep repeating that I am DO
The morning after Jax's birth Nov 2011 Originally published here August 4, 2016. I'm reposting today as with the Duchess of Sussex - aka Meghan Markle - choosing to homebirth, it's shone a global spotlight on this birthing choice. If there was one thing I would love every pregnant woman to know it is this: fear affects labour and birth. The stalling of labour that leads to inductions. The pain that leads to epidurals.

For the homebirth curious I've reposted an article I wrote a few years ago inspired by my own very supported homebirth of our son Jax. ** Latest Australian data* shows that Homebirth rates increased by 56% from 2009-10. U.S statistics** tell a similar story with Homebirth rates there increasing by 41% from 2004-10. Mothers who are looking for better birth outcomes, for themselves and their babies, are leading the way toward reclaiming our ancient, natural birthing wisdom and right to choose where, how and with whom we birth.

Saturn is going retrograde today on 20 degrees Capricorn. Pluto went retrograde last week on 23 degrees Capricorn. The South Node is retrograde (nodes are always retrograde) currently on 21 degrees Capricorn. What does this mean? Firstly, these three planetary power-brokers are all together right now which strongly impacts their influence on each other. This combined influence has a stronger than usual impact on us (personally and collectively) than any one of these planets/points would have on their own. On their own they can and do trigger major life events and shifts in perspective. Together, they are likely to trigger massive turning points that offer collapse and stability all at once,
