How you can build relationship to your Good Ancestors & Good Spirits this year:

Water, Treats, Gratitude

Water is a portal, protectant, & purifier in many spiritual traditions. If you are unfamiliar with Ancestor veneration this is an excellent entryway. Go to a thrift store get a mug, bowl, fancy vase, etc. This vessel will only be for this purpose. You never drink or use this vessel for anything else, because it is explicitly for the Dead or Spirits. You can clean it, fill it with water and refreshen multiple times a week. You can say a prayer like “Sacred Water, please absorb all the negativity and stagnancy of my home. Thank you!” or “Good Ancestors and Good Spirits please accept this water as symbol of my eternal gratitude.” You can put rocks in it, seashells, flowers, floating candles, whatever. This is now an altar. You can also use Holy Water or my preference, Florida Water, or blessed salt water to cleanse your altar, home and self. Put a Treat on your little altar.

A pastry, candy, flowers, something special next to it. Is there an image or knowing or feeling of what exactly your Ancestors might like? Do that. The other day I asked my partner to bring home coffee to brew for my Ancestors. Unknowingly, he brought home a brand that shares my maternal grandmother’s name, an uncommon French name. I laughed. They will tell you what they want. Throw this treat away before it molds, smells bad, or dies. At your altar, attune to the felt experience of Gratitude. Close your eyes and think of small and big moments where you have felt held, seen, and affirmed by your living and dead loved ones. Whether it is your access to shelter, your cat, your freedom, feel whatever you are thankful for warm you.

These are offerings to go back to all throughout the year and after if they feel good for you. There isn’t any wrong way to do them and make them your own.

Every season there is a natural rhythm to the land’s conditions that is wise to follow. Of course, we aren’t bats or bears, but many of us are still conserving our energy this winter. The lesson is salient: Surrender to wise timing. Because of technology and our access to resources here in the “US”, we have fallen out of sync with wise timing. Fuck, waiting! We can have it all immediately, at our doorstep, with a click of a button.

The next year, as you already feel, will be chaotic. All of the outer planets will be in Air-Fire signs. With the reprieve of Jupiter transiting Cancer, the sign it exalts in. We will have round two of an aspiring autocrat and who knows if he actually leaves office in 4 years. Project 2025 is truly a terrifying vision, and I don’t know if even an all red government can do all the shit they wrote about in that plan. It is clear they are gunning for genocidal immigration policies and healthcare access elimination especially for marginalized genders and groups by removing abortion access, gender affirming care and even euthanasia (they want us to work as long as possible before we die). I would be surprised if our already shit healthcare system including Medicaid and Medicare survive this brutal campaign against human life. Additionally, the next global pandemic that happens is not going to be responded to adeptly by this government (astrologers speculate it will be another airborne virus because we are in the Age of Air). People and industries have been forever changed and harmed due to the many ramifications of COVID. It is increasingly deadly to be poor, sick, disabled and old.

People are talking about leaving the US. Which you do you. But don’t in a fearful hurry jump into situations where you don’t actually have any more autonomy, liberation or support than the one you have now. There is a time to get the fuck out and there is a time to stay. There is a time to be silent and cautious or outspoken and take arms. Different approaches are necessary at different times. When the time comes to take to the streets or show public dissent that goes beyond a social media post I hope to see you. Because what they want is for us to cower at home and let them take the country without resistance. They want us scared and shrunken into ourselves. If you in the past have left activism to the “activists”, well I am calling you in, friend. We need you. Now is the time to participate in the resistance. Lean into communities. Nurture what you have already planted. Build new relations now. Do what is accessible for you and what you can sustain throughout time. Push yourself to do more, if you are well-resourced.

In July 2025 Uranus ingresses Gemini and trines Pluto in Aquarius. Look at all these Swords in this tarot spread. The Swords, our thoughts and words are related to Air. Mercury and Uranus rule our nervous systems. Social media and technology will continue to exploit and dominate our attention. Being too centered in the mind, in our thoughts is not a good thing. Frankly, it feels like shit. Let go of mind, embrace embodied experience. The goal is not to live off the grid completely (unless you really want and can) but to reclaim our agency by inhabiting our sweet bodies now. We are living sci-fi novels written decades ago. We are still beings of Earth. We are animals. When you can find yourself in your body, it is much easier to be attuned to wise timing. Fuck, being in your body is wise timing. So, whatever that is for you, deep breathing, polyvagal exercises, chanting, walking barefoot in grass, drawing, drumming, swimming, stimming, etc. Identify a couple accessible somatic practices and incorporate them into your life. Do it as much as you can and feels right for you. You cannot control what is going to happen. You can in this moment, be in your body.

Care for yourself and your many fluctuating needs. Honor your home, the shrine to yourself and your family. Honor your need to rest and be at ease. How can home be more inviting, pleasurable or peaceful? Your home is where you can lay your weary head, be still, relax, laugh, unmask. With Uranus and Pluto in Gemini activating are nervous systems, accelerating and amplifying, how can you rest in your home and body? This daily return to your home, an extension of who you are, that can be act of self-veneration. And in giving love to yourself, you give love to your Good Ancestors and Good Spirits. Rest is a need that is trivialized under capitalism. Rest is itself an act of resistance (Tricia Hersey) against indoctrination that our value is solely in our money-making productivity. We also need the clarity and strength rest gives us so we can be equipped to organize, sabotage, disrupt, boycott, revolt, take arms.

We don’t have any outer planets in Earth next year. We need the rootedness and endurability of Earth as much as the flow of Air. In order to brave new heights, we need the habits, tangible practices, and security only Earth provides. How can your roots support you in exploring adventurous Air? Next year we are called to lean into flowing with easeful exploration. Learning the spontaneous movement of our hearts. Practicing generosity when the urge strikes us which generates good faith in our relationships and communities. Sometimes though, we may not have enough love or resources even for ourselves. It is essential to know when to share and when to prioritize yourself, materially and energetically. Gentle reminder, most of us are in the struggle, knowingly or not. Give what you can, when you can. That is an embodiment of the Divine on Earth.
