“Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go”

The moment I pulled up this blank page to start writing, I heard those words singing in my head.
Hmmm, I wondered, where’s the asteroid Karma?
This is where:
On February 11, 2022, otherwise transcribed at 2-11-22, the asteroid Karma was conjunct the south node of the moon, which is otherwise known as the south KARMIC node of the moon.
This is what we’re leaving behind.
This is what we’re leaving behind.
Reflect back on the week leading to this full moon - what did you leave behind?
Maybe it was a person, a place, an idea, a part of yourself, or something you thought was a part of yourself. Maybe it was some tangible thing. Maybe it was more circumstantial, emotional, or mental. Whatever it was - you left it there - in the past.
You left it so you can embrace what’s coming now in the now.
This time is deeply karmic.
What even is karma?
I watched something recently where someone explained that karma is basically good deeds reaping pleasurable results and bad deeds reaping painful results. THIS IS NOT THE WAY IT WORKS.
This is a simplification.
This is what I sense:
Karma is the deep passing of time through the collective body of not just humanity but of all existence, and together, through this collective body, we are processing every deed that has ever been done and we are creating every deed that ever will be done.
Our bodies are like temples where all time flows through in a continuous stream of light, and different people carry different responsibilities within the processing of this collective energy in any given lifetime.
And for some reason, as I’m typing this, I keep hitting enter twice between every paragraph, creating more space. Why? I wonder. Because this letting go CREATED MORE SPACE.
Every heart break a heart opening, a creation of more space for God’s love, for self love, for acceptance, for grace.
You didn’t let this go just recently. It wasn’t just in the last week. This last week was a punctuation point in A KARMIC CLEARING that hit in a big way with the Leo new moon on August 8, 2021.
The karmic clearing was yours - within your personal processing - and also, it was for all of us. (Thank you, thank you.) The end of 2021 was marked by this big clearing that made way for the new karmic cycle we entered on January 18th.
Reflect back on the period of time around August 8 - August 21, 2021 (give or take a few days on either side). What happened then?
That Leo new moon time set the stage for this Leo full moon now on February 16th. It initiated you into this karmic clearing so you can receive what is arriving now

On this full moon, the sun rests at 28 degrees Aquarius, the moon at 28 degrees Leo. (Check your chart to see where this falls for you personally.)
While the sun and the moon rest opposite each other - reaching across the path of the ecliptic like the hands in Michelangelo’s great painting - Venus and Mars are in THE EXACT SAME PLACE at 16°57’ Capricorn.
I hear Brittany Murphy’s voice in Clueless, announcing her non-school book book of the week: “Mine is Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.”
But on this full moon, the energies collide - masculine and feminine, yin and yang, Venus and Mars - and we experience this merger in our minds, we process it through our actions, we feel it in our hearts.
This moon offers you the divine touch of internal unity - the marriage of two halves, and the RETURN OF THE FEMININE TO THE COSMIC STAGE MADE WHOLE as the patriarchy crumbles and a new world order comes to pass.
As I hear that last line in my mind, it sounds so grand and over the top. Like, really?? And I hear: If that’s what you want, you can have it. And I sense that there is a crumbling that happens now. Some sort of implosion of what was that serves to make space for this new way of being that is EXPLODING NOW. This isn’t just the subtle gentle rippling of “feminine” energy that has been happening for decades - did it ever really feel subtle? There have been moments throughout the last 100+ years that have felt akin to this explosion now. Bursts upon bursts upon bursts of YIN to counter the yang - nay, never to counter, but to balance.
A new balance has been restored/is being restored with this full moon.
This is what the karmic clearing was all about, to make space for this in a TRUE way.
And the feminine? We will come to learn that it is so much more than we ever appreciated it was.
It isn’t just soft and gentle and receptive.
It is FIERCE.
And rising strong.
☆
Along with the asteroid Karma, the asteroid Ariadne is playing a big role. Ariadne was perfectly conjunct Jupiter on the Leo new moon, and now, on this full moon, she’s perfectly conjunct Chiron.
What does all of this mean?
This full moon marks A BLOOMING, the end of two retrograde cycles, and the completion of what was incepted in August.
Incepted
The word stands out. I don’t think I’ve ever used it before in my life, so I look it up:
to incept ::
to embark on an undertaking
to undertake ::
to set about to do something, to put oneself under obligation to perform, to guarantee, to promise
What promises were made in August?
You must keep them now.
Venus/Mars in Capricorn will help you. It helps align all of your exchanges and actions with traditional ways of doing things, including contracts. Contracts, which aren’t just tools for business, but also, magical spells cast by your heart.
You are being held to your commitment(s) now, and you must keep it.
Ariadne - who offers you a clear path through the most challenging of mazes - helped you in August. She helped you find a way to make your commitment, and now, she’s helping you again. She will help you follow through, and any fear or reluctance you feel around keeping your promise will be healed.
There’s no backing down. This you must do.
What must you do? Reflect on everything from August, reflect on everything that came up last week. What have you been called to do? What do you maybe need to do but you aren’t exactly sure how to go about it or you aren’t totally comfortable doing it? Whatever this is is connected to your promise. It’s connected to the TRUTH that was rising inside and around you in August. If you don’t remember what this was, return to your journals, notes, Instagram, calendar, whatever helps you recall, or simply close your eyes, let it return to you in your sleep, or let it be revealed through whatever ritual you are guided to perform during this full moon time.

On the Leo new moon on August 8th, the asteroid Isis was conjunct the destiny point (a.k.a., the karmic north node of the moon). She was conjunct this point at 10 degrees Gemini - a.k.a. at the Hyades, the great V for Victory in the sky.
Then, she went retrograde, returning to the exact same place - that V in the sky - at the end of January. (Remember the overall card for 2022.) It is there that she went direct on January 26, 2022, after having been retrograde since October 20, 2021.
On October 20, 2021, she turned retrograde at 26 degrees Gemini. Long story short, the asteroid Isis has been in a retrograde cycle since the Leo new moon. She entered the retrograde shadow then. Then, she went retrograde in October, finally went direct in January, and now, she’s wrapping up the cycle.
Why is this important? Because this is what was written for the Leo new moon in August:
The Virgin Mary has long been associated with the image of the rose, just like an earlier divine feminine archetype/being - the goddess Isis. Many people believe that the imagery and stories associated with Mary are actually lifted from earlier stories about Isis. Like the same stories and same images keep getting retold and changed from culture to culture.
I hear it again:
“Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go”
It’s no surprise that the asteroid Isis went direct shortly after the Cancer full moon on January 17th. It was then that we entered this new karmic cycle, and it was then, in that full moon note, that all of these messages came through about The Virgin Mary and the idea of “our eternal mother.”
Let me say that again but clearer this time: As we entered this new karmic cycle spanning 2022-2023, our focus was turned to THE MOTHER ARCHETYPE.
What does The Mother represent for you? What images and feelings do these words evoke?
It isn’t just one thing, and for you, it is whatever it is.
I think now about this article I saw at some point last month. It was about the movie The Lost Daughter and how recently, there have been all of these depictions of motherhood in our storytelling that diverge from the image of the good, aproned mother who lives for her husband and children - an image that had been presented for so long (especially via globally distributed American film/TV), but now, new stories are being told. New aspects of the mother are being honored and acknowledged.
In what way are you like a mother? Regardless of sex or gender, this is a question worth exploring.
☆
On this full moon, the asteroid Isis is almost exactly where she was on the Leo new moon in August. She has returned to the same place except this time, SHE IS CLEAR.
I remember these words now. This is what else was shared about her in August, for the Leo new moon:
“On this new moon, while Juno conjuncts the south node and we let go, the asteroid ISIS conjuncts the north node - the destiny point - and we arrive.
We arrive in harmony with this divine feminine energy.
Ow, ow, ow. This hurts like a bitch for some.
The egg is CRACKED OPEN. This released the wave. I see Isis RISING out of the cracked egg. The cosmic egg - the womb of creation.
Isis and the destiny point are conjunct within The Hyades, leading up to the destiny point crossing The Golden Gate of the Ecliptic.
Women were never allowed through the gates. The men held the doors shut. They walled off the gate. They poured brick and mortar and crowned themselves the masons.
The keepers of magic, but THE FLAME IS INSIDE AND CANNOT BE CONTAINED.
The true keepers of the flame are rising, waking.
I hear the word “power.” They are taking the power back.
Now, we create a new portal of magic. A new place to store the wisdom TO BE SHARED with all those who understand.
I see chains breaking, shackles released.
FREEDOM.
The magic is freed.”
☆
The day after returning to those words and copying and pasting them here for you, my husband asked me to try his this new VR game he’s been loving. I have not enjoyed past experiences with VR (a.k.a. virtual reality) - I like this reality just fine, thank you - but he kept asking, so I agreed.
I placed the headset on and entered a world of golden stardust and green moss and tiny books made for a mouse. In this reality, I was a mouse - a female mouse named Quill - moving along the forest floor, my sword in hand, and as I crossed a wooden bridge, I heard the narration say (and I’m sorry I can’t give you an exact quote here - I couldn’t find it online and I can’t get back to that part of the game - but this is basically what it said): Women were not allowed through the east gate, but now, Quill must find her way and embark on a new adventure.
I immediately removed the headset and was like WOAH.
Then, the next day, as I was adding this little synchronicity story in here for you, I paused my writing to go eat lunch.
While my husband made sandwiches, he played music through the TV. He had no knowledge of what I’d been writing about, and he played a song that I have no memory of him ever playing before. This is what he played:
The song Sirius was followed by a song called “Eye in the Sky,” and if you aren’t familiar, the symbol on the album cover is the eye of Horus, which is an Egyptian magical symbol that amongst other things has been linked to the idea of the balancing of the two halves of the human brain.
And the reason this really caught me by surprise and inspired me to take a photo is because I remembered there being something about Sirius in the August messages for the Leo new moon, but I didn’t remember exactly what they were, so I returned to the issue I released then, and this is what I found:
“Sirius is often associated with Isis and has even been considered the goddess’ home…This new moon is happening as Sirius becomes visible in the eastern sky during what’s known as the Lion’s Gate Portal.
And the lion’s gate? Well...that is also the name of another one of the gates in the old city of Jerusalem.
Specifically, the lion’s gate is the gate just above the golden gate. They are both on the eastern wall of the city, but where the golden gate is sealed shut, the lion’s gate is open.
On or around August 8th [the Leo new moon], the star Sirius rises in the eastern sky.
When I started channeling about this moon, I saw: Isis hatching from the cosmic egg.
And as I was reading about all of these gates on the eastern side, I flashed back to January, flashed back to my vision of Jesus filling the United States Capitol with golden light, flashed back to the bible passage I’d never read before but was guided to when I was given the page number in a dream two days later:
‘Afterward he brought me to the gate, the gate facing east...And the vision I saw was like the vision which I had seen...and I fell upon my face. As the glory of the Lord entered the temple by the gate facing east, the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the temple.’”
As I was writing (a.k.a. channeling) this note for you all, all of these synchronicities starting popping up around me - the female mouse with sword in hand, preparing to enter the eastern gate that had been closed off to women.
And then, Sirius.
And then there was the echoing of all of the language I channeled in this note before ever looking back at what had been written for the Leo new moon.
At the top of this note, I wrote about letting go…and what’s “arriving now.” It had to be the word “arriving.” And on the new moon, I channeled: “On this new moon…we let go…and we arrive.”
I wrote in this note about how, “Our bodies are like temples where all time flows through in a continuous stream of light.”
And on the new moon, I included the quote about the glory of the lord filling the temple.
I had no conscious memory of any of these lines in the new moon messaging. It all just lined up through time….new moon to full moon because it’s all connected.
It is happening.
The intention was set on the new moon. The promise was made. The chains broke, and the feminine was freed. But like with all moon cycles, what starts on the new moon is just the beginning…building to the full moon in the same sign six months later (and connecting to even more points in time before and beyond that).
What started with the new moon - this great FREEING - is BLOOMING with this full moon.
On this full moon, Isis (now direct) rests at 11 degrees Gemini - at almost the exact same place where she was on the new moon, but now, she’s ready. She’s been through her retrograde. She’s gone direct. And she is MOVING FORWARD.
THE MAGIC IS FREED.
☆
This notion of the magic being freed is yet another message that is repeating itself through these channeled writings.
I had no conscious memory of that message from the August Magic Guide. Honestly, when I channel, I’m so in another zone that I don’t tend to remember a lot of the details, so I didn’t remember that message when I sat to channel the story of The Great Divide - the new karmic cycle we entered last month - but this is what came through then: “There will be more magic available on Earth than there has been in a very, very long time…THERE WILL BE MAGIC.”
There are honestly so many overlaps in the messaging in The Great Divide and this moon that you might want to read the story of The Great Divide again sometime soon (or for the first time if you haven’t read it yet).
This full moon is…a bit intense.
And more messages just keep coming through, but I need to wrap this up…so I will leave you with this:
This full moon is connected to the Leo new moon on August 8, 2021, AND the Leo new moon on August 18, 2020. Reflect back to that time…that new moon was in virtually the same place as this full moon now and that new moon paved the path to the PORTAL OF DESTINY on August 27, 2020.
Also on August 18, 2020, the asteroid Icarus was perfectly conjunct Pluto in Capricorn…and they will be conjunct again on February 19, 2020…there has been an ongoing cycle of Pluto and Icarus conjuncting every few months for years. I was guided to see this just as I was wrapping up this note…and honestly, it’s too much information to share all of it here, so I’ll just leave you with this: WE HAVE BEEN UNDERGOING A HUGE TRANSFORMATION OF EARTHLY/DIVINE ENERGY FOR YEARS. Man reaching for the heavens and being reborn again and again, only to learn that really, the heavens were reaching for us all along, and all we had to do was let it descend in order for us to rise.
Which leaves me with the actual last piece of information for this moon that I was guided to see at the very last minute - at precisely 3:33 PM on February 13th - this full moon? It’s conjunct the asteroid Gratia, the asteroid named for the three Graces of Greek mythology.
Who were the three graces? Their names translate to mean shining, joy, and blooming. Blooming, I think…that word kept coming up in this note. Is there an asteroid just for her? For Thalia (the grace whose name means “blooming”)? Why yes, yes there is.
Asteroid #23.
I enter the number in my software, and I see for the first time that on this full moon, while Gratia is conjunct the Leo moon, the asteroid Thalia is even more closely conjunct the Aquarius sun.
For those of you who are curious to see for yourself:
This full moon brings a freeing of magic and a blooming of grace.
LET IT BE.

There’s a lot in this note. There are a lot of subtle, buried messages that I was not aware of when writing, that I’m not even aware of now, and that you maybe were not aware of when reading. That’s okay, they’ll do what they need to do, but also, you may want to reread this note a few times. Return to it when you feel called. Read it all again, or simply scroll to a point and stop when you feel you should stop and start reading there.
It is filled with keys.
That’s what I’m hearing: It is filled with keys.
The magic is being freed. With each unlocked gate, the magic is freed.
☆
And guess what? I just noticed that for me personally, the sun during this full moon falls in the exact same place where the asteroid Isis is in my chart (you can see this in the picture above). For me, the sun is shining its light on Isis. Thalia is BLOOMING on Isis, and here I am, writing about Isis blooming. 🌹

ADDENDUM
This moon is the inverse of the second Aquarius full moon from 2021. The one that fell on August 22, 2021. The sun is where the moon was then. The moon is where the sun was. (Give or take 1.5 degrees.) I have been getting nonstop messages about this ever since early this morning (February 15th), so it’s important. You may also want to reflect back on that time now too (August 22-September 6, 2021).
☆
Long story short:
This full moon marks A GREAT ARRIVAL - your arrival. This is where the last six months have been leading you. After a huge karmic clearing, you are ready for what comes now. While the collective body of humanity may feel torn, stay focused on the new ways that you feel whole. What happens now marks a huge moment in the new karmic cycle that began in January, and it’s an especially powerful time for all women (and “feminine” energy) everywhere. This full moon is about the ETERNAL FLAME and the persistent burning of truth that cannot be denied - despite all of the ways that society may try to deny it. This moon is about magic, a big embrace of MAGIC. What does that mean? What will that mean? We must live it to fully learn. This is the only way, and there’s no reason to force it. There’s only a reason to live it. Live and let the sweet gift of grace bloom inside you.
