If females can manage their fertility with precision using environmentally-available means and learned methods (herbal abortions, charting, etc), what impact does this have on our understanding of human evolution?
Will ‘life-force-energy’ be accurately, usefully, and explicitly integrated into scientific discourse?
Note:
I don’t know if people have answered these questions already. Please comment.

The new moon in Scorpio this past Wednesday marks an exciting new phase for all of us – Scorpio energy propels us toward deep, total, and meaningful transformation. Scorpio is the still, murky waters - deep, passionate, cold, instinctual, primal, sexual, aggressive, resourceful - most of the tendencies that we tend to mask as we smile and politely excuse ourselves through public.
Read MoreI’m sitting here trying to decipher the rather busy and colourful astrological chart for this early morning’s new-moon-partial-solar-eclipse and I’m just not sure what to say. New moons are the time to start something fresh, so clean your house and make a list of goals. Eclipses are like a super-charged fresh start. That’s what I got so far...
Maybe it’s because I’m approaching my 30s (the initiatory Saturn return in astrology-speak) or maybe it’s because I’m feeling particularly humble but how the hell should I know what is going on? What have I learned in my brief life and studies that can be reasonably and usefully distilled into a little article?
I know what I would like to do: write something that resonates with at least a few people; create something that taps a nerve of truth; share writing that is practical and meaningful; and of course, write something deeper than those numerous, vague, and overly-optimistic new age platitudes.
Based on what I’ve read, effects of eclipses last about 6 months. I haven’t tested this idea yet but my partner and I started a little experiment to do just that.
Read MoreI planned to share a post in time for the new moon last Friday but instead I’m sharing this one today during the first quarter phase of the current Leo lunation, which is really fitting given the apparent vibe of the week. First quarter phases are generally associated with challenge and crisis – we face a little test of endurance to see how committed we truly are to creating what we planted at the new moon one week prior.
Friends of friends dying. Unemployed friends feeling lost. Disillusionment. Dramatic, emotional outbursts. Constrained resources. Illness. Binges. Childhood memories disintegrating. Relationships dissolving. Sexual exploration. New highs and ugly lows. Ecstatic dreams. Connections with friends. Temptation.

Today is the beginning of a new lunar cycle in the fabulous sign of Leo. I planned to write a post about it but life got in the way this week! Here is a little update...stay tuned for the new moon blog coming out this weekend!
A week ago, my lover and I returned from a fun, refreshing, and romantic vacation. We raved, danced, socialized, nude-beached, spent time with friends and family, enjoyed lots of scenic driving, fucked/made sweet love, and connected through deep conversation. After 2.5 weeks on the road away from our home and our cat, Marshall, we were both ready to return to Saskatoon.
Read MoreThe new moon began last night, July 15th, at 7:24 pm here in Saskatoon. New moons signify the beginning of a fresh 28-day cycle, so take some time to clean your house, wrap up any old tasks if you haven’t already, and enjoy some quiet time to set some new goals or intentions.
During the new moon phase Luna’s light is absent, so symbolically speaking, any seed, idea, or dream can be planted in this rich, dark void of possibility. The Moon merging with the Sun from an earthly vantage point is a brief joining of the unconscious and conscious, a moment to simultaneously open up and choose. Some of your ideas will take root and come to fruition at the full moon in two weeks time and others will rot, feeding the soil for the future instead.
