WOMEN, POWER and MONEY: BRING THE CHANGE
“If there is to be a change, it will come from us. Right here, where we stand. Women were always the story-givers, the memory keepers, the dreamers. Listen now to the land’s long dreaming. Do you see what it is dreaming? It’s dreaming you.” (Sharon Blackie, If Women Rose Rooted)
Today I am shaken, as most probably you were, by the news of yet another school shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas. Heartsick, I questioned whether sending this post with a consultation offer was the right thing to do. But because it is about women, and power, and our relationship to power and money, I decided it was exactly the right thing to do. We need a new story.
This week we had a major astrological event: Uranus, the Great Awakener entered the sign of Taurus. Uranus as "Goddess of change and creative chaos", (https://chaninicholas.com/2018/05/horoscopes-for-uranus-in-taurus-may-2018-april-2026/)is an evolutionary force associated with the starry sky, lightning, earthquakes, Kundalini and technological innovation. Taurus is earthy, sensual, grounded, determined, slow, comfort and security loving. Bringing these two energies together can be challenging. It calls for radical changes in our relationships to the material world: Mother Earth. Our bodies. And money.
It has been 84 years since Uranus was in Taurus so be prepared for a major shift. This could bring flashes of intuitive insight, radical new knowing. Whatever is coming to you, it will probably involve some surprises.
The powerful opportunities now for you are the possibilities of joining the imaginal with the material world. Reuniting spirit with matter. Bring your dreams and visions down to Earth. Connect them to money and your financial freedom.
"Money is a manifestation of the divine Feminine, the Goddess, in our lives." (https://erinreese.blogspot.com/2018/05/uranus-enters-taurus-money-and-security.html) It brings joy, pleasure if we accept it. It is a blessing when we learn to receive it. It is an important support and tool of power, which awakened women can use for the good of all.
It seems more important than ever, urgent for the state of the environment and social justice, for women to create wealth and wield power.
Mother Teresa: “It takes a checkbook to change the world.”
The word money comes from the Latin moneta (money, mint, a place for coining money, coin) from the name of the temple of Juno Moneta which stood on the Arx or the citadel on the Capitoline Hill overlooking the Roman Forum. Moneta is the name of both the Goddess memory (Mnemosyne) and Juno Moneta money and mint. Mnemosyne was the daughter of Uranus (Sky god) and Gaia (Earth mother. Juno Moneta was also known as the Goddess of Good Counsel, Advisor, Warner. Here is another indication of the enormous shift underway bringing sky and earth, spirit and matter together. It is particularly relevant, powerful, urgent, for women to harness these energies and reclaim her sovereignty in the material world.
This is a time to change our relationship to the material world. To the Earth. To our bodies. And to our money.
Juno Moneta Goddess of Money is a powerful presence in the Uranus in Taurus energies, symbolizing in this ancient gold coin the divinity in the natural world, in us, in the material world. Restoring the ancient wisdom, the direct knowing of gnosis, that Spirit is in all Matter, the divine is alive in the material world, we begin to restore, rewild, our connection to the soul in matter, the soul of money. Are you treating your money with the respect it deserves? Are you honoring the true value and worth of your own soul's calling?
Whether you are called to a public leadership role or a personal fulfillment goal, find the freedom to come fully alive. Make allies of your fears. Sift the darkness of your shadow for gold, which is often where your power is hidden. This is the time to tell all you know.

Raise the bar. Be still. Make a decision. Make a choice. Declare your intention. “This is what I’m doing.” “This is what I want.” There will be magic. Spirit can work miracles when you align with what you really want.
In Sacred Success, Barbara Stanny (author also of Overcoming Underearning) says: Sacred Success is pursuing your soul’s purpose for your own bliss and the benefit of others, while being richly rewarded.
Money is a powerful archetype, serving as a conduit for our imagination and a projection carrier for soul. Find the honest value of things. Partner with the Goddess Juno Moneta to make a new beginning. As James Hillman said: "Money is devilishly divine".
“Sow it, give it out, sing it out, live out in the topside world what we have received through our sudden knowing, from body, from dreams and journeys of all sorts.” Clarissa Pinkola Estes
We are being challenged to make a major evolutionary leap. Take the first steps towards building a solid foundation for your new story. This is a pivotal time for making choices. Who are you? Are you expressing your true essence?
This is a growth process. Where do you need to let go? What skills have you attained in the last 7 years to help? Take a step on your edgy new path. Break free, stand up, step out into new lands.
As the wise Angeles Arrien said years ago: If we fully express who we are, we are said to be "full of power”. When we demonstrate our power, no one can tell us what can’t be done.’ The word power comes from potere: to be able, the ability to act or produce an effect. What effect, what influence, what impact do you want to have in your community? For your family and the world? Claiming your power means “being full of yourself”. Celebrate your power and bring it to bear life to the wasteland of a dying patriarchal myth.
Begin a journey here with me. Take a few steps into The Way of the Wild Feminine.
So many of our stories, our journeys are losing and rediscovering our feminine powers, then finding ways to use them in service to what we care about most. We bring a different kind of power: Relational. Collaborative. Connecting. Embodied. Magical. Transformative. Visionary.
How do we attune to the new myth? It is very difficult being between stories, carrying a piece of “what is to come.” Because we are not only Earth of course but cosmos. We belong to the stars. What might be coming? We are living through a time of extreme contrast, when the dying and death dealing old story is for a moment all around us. But we are dreaming our way to a new story. Drawing a map that begins in our hearts, and takes us down to the bones of a new foundation.
Whether you are called to a public leadership role or a personal fulfillment goal, find the freedom to come fully alive. Make allies of your fears. Sift the darkness of your shadow for gold, which is often where your power is hidden. This is the time to tell all you know.
