I write poems inspired by transits + offer astrology consultations. My lens is experiential + evolutionary (meaning nonlinear, purposeful change) + queer. https://www.sabianraineastrology.com/ https://sabianraine.substack.com/

She conveyed worlds without words: on experiential astrology, pet loss, and grief
Posted on Substack and the blog on my website: www.sabianraineastrology.com

She conveyed worlds without words: Experiential astrology in practice. Image of small, brown dog. Astrology for me is most useful when it is experiential. By experiential, I mean lived. I may know what the quality of time portends, but until I actually go through it, the meaning remains elusive, open, and multiple.

For the day that's in it...

'All Hallows' by Louise Gluck - has a deep sense of loneliness and loss, that shifting between the seasons, and the final lines where the veil between this world and the next becomes thin

An old red oak (and Helene survivor) just said to me: time is material, and space is timeless.

short of cash, buying the products of writers & artists is the best form of mutual aid for us creatives... we have 5 adult children (4 with children of their own) and each month we're paying the rent/mortgage, utilities, and/or buying groceries for any 3 of them. so, please, buy my book! 💙😫

Anybody else have strange dreams last night? Mercury was in the last degree of Scorpio trine Neptune rx in Pisces. We’ll revisit this on December 11 when Mercury and Neptune meet again (after the retrogrades).

Sometimes I feel like I don’t know how I got from one night to the next. Going from one world into another and then another with no connecting thread. I used to be the thread. Now I just have this vague sense of having had these other experiences in between. This is not a bad thing, just different.

Let the water trines support you as you feel the provocation from Jupiter/Chiron and Sun/Pluto. What does emotional safety mean for you?

We do that, too!

One of a few things! The irony is that Mercury and Mars are conjunct in Scorpio, which would typically indicate mental fortitude. The Neptune fog is thick, though.

Anybody else feeling super spacy with Neptune back in Pisces? There is something about that 30th degree. I remember feeling this way last March. Need to adjust my expectations for any linear thinking!

The Clean Up: Neptune returns to Pisces

As is appropriate for writing about Neptune in Pisces, I am feeling overwhelmed.

As Mercury enters the pre retrograde shadow, Juno is stationing at the degree where this chapter of Mercury’s retrograde story ends. Juno is holding the space for us to trust what we know.

What would it feel like to be on the water and not get wet? To really experience surface tension?

Feeling a desire to really slow down, to actually match my own pace. I finally took the time to smell the ginkgo fruit today. It does smell sickly sweet, rancid.

”The apprenticeship is patiently crafting an elder.” Francis Weller, 47

from “In The Absence Of The Ordinary”

This ginkgo will be here for millennia after we go.

This neighborhood ginkgo biloba is a couple of hundred years old and will be around for a couple of millennia at least.

We need to do our best not to internalize social conditioning about what makes us worthy. Our value is inherent. A reminder from Venus in Virgo opposite Saturn rx in Pisces

I also think the 8th house can be shared power, and this could be a positive association with sexual intimacy.

Sabian Raine | astrologer | poet @sabianraine.bsky.social · 25d

Unfortunately, a lot of what people call sex is transactional and centered around power.
