Ahhhh, friends. What a year, no? Our first moon cycle in 2017 inaugurated a man as the leader of our metaphoric house who bragged about the exploitation and objectification of the female body.

Women’s Mysteries: Winter Solstice and the Dark Moon. Hope.
Today’s New Moon, around 5:30pm in California, marks the end/start of a new cycle.

We know this as the Winter Solstice. On the…
