In today’s episode we explore how the three signs of spring relate to creativity and the tropical zodiac. We share personal experiences of the creative cycle as understood through the lens of the zodiac and the phases of the moon.

Astrology teaches us to notice how energy starts, sustains, and shifts throughout each season. This conversation is about the story of spring told by #1 Aries who starts the fire, #2 Taurus who sustains the idea to bring it into form, and #3 Gemini shifts into new possibilities.

The Three Signs of Spring each have a unique approache to harnessing and directing creative energy. In the episode we offer examples of ways that each sign supports the one before and the astrological sign that follows.

Notice the energetic signature that Aries, Taurus, and Gemini bring to YOUR cycles of creativity.

Aries - Cardinal Fire

inspiration strikes

an idea sparks the creative fire

takes action to begin!

... and then runs out of steam...

Taurus - Fixed Earth

slows down and stabilizes

creates a process and a container

digs in and gets to work!

...and then gets stuck...

Gemini - Mutable Air

gets curious and expands

talks to their muse and does some research

cross pollinates to bring in fresh ideas

...and then has too many options and enters the next season...

It’s so much fun to bring art and astrology closer together. If you’re like me then you probably want to keep playing with these ideas and apply them to your process…

You’re in luck! Come play with the planets and your birthchart in an experimental masterclass called Cycles of Creativity Masterclass! Together we will explore the archetypes of each of the eight planets and how they relate to the creative process.

Friday May 17, 2024 from 1:30-3:00 PM Pacific - replay will be available.

We will show you how this sequence factors into the way artistry and expression unfolds in your life. You will personalize this flow by designing your own template for creativity based on your birthchart.Let's share creative practices in community to feel more connected and inspired!
