    A New Beginning Needs Ground | Virgo New Moon 2026

    In this reflection, I explore the Virgo New Moon not as a blank slate, but as a conscious practice for examining the soil we are standing in. Entering this lunation in the aftermath of the Pisces lunar eclipse, we look at what an intention requires when it encounters lived reality... our bodies, our time, our relationships, our responsibilities, and our limits. If you're questioning your direction, reconsidering something you once felt certain about, or finding that an earlier intention no longer fits quite as you imagined, I hope this reflection offers you somewhere supportive to land.

    How Images Teach Us What to See

    Transforming the Established Self What happens when the image stops simply representing reality and begins teaching us what reality is supposed to look like? In this reflection, Veronica brings the work of French philosopher and cultural theorist Jean Baudrillard's ideas of simulation, simulacra, and hyperreality into conversation with attention, perception, conditioning, identity, and conscious participation.  This reflection explores: how representations can participate in training perception, how standards teach attention where to look, and how repeated attention gives significance to particular features, beliefs, identities, and ways of seeing.Maybe the question isn't only... what am I seeing? Maybe it's... what taught me to see it this way? *** If you're a visual learner: the video includes several diagrams I created to help map some of the more conceptual parts of this conversation. The audio stands on its own, but you may find the visual version especially helpful. Play Video Here Connect with Veronica - Send her a message!
