  • New moon in Cancer

    New moon in Cancer

    The most loving thing you can do is expand your capacity to give and receive care.

    Britten larue – Living Astroloogy

    The new moon in cancer will be forming a trine Saturn retrograde in Pisces. Making this a new moon one that asks us to get serious about taking care of the things that matter.

    The new moon in Cancer is staring something that your are ready and willing to commit to. Something that brings nourishment and emotional value to your life. Something that heals you. Next to this new moon is the planet Venus, the planet of harmony, balance, and value. Making this new moon an opportunity to connect, express, and share with those around you.

    The sign of cancer is about honoring your sacred cycle, the truth about how you feel, and being in the moment with the full spectrum of your own emotions. If you have trouble being present with your emotions, from lack of practice, or maybe some negative experience that made turning away from your feelings necessary, now is the time to reparent yourself and attune your self to your emotional truth.

    It isn’t uncommon to have trouble recognizing, and/or acknowledging our own emotions. We are told to suppress emotions that are perceived negatively. When we successfully integrate cancer energy when we are able to express the parts of ourselves that we have limited for the sake of others. In honoring our own cycles, we create a space for emotional healing, and self nurturing.

    Over time consistent internal validation and emotional control becomes soft strength. What this looks like is trusting our gut instinct or intuition, in spite of whatever conditioning tells us to doubt ourselves.

    What is your inner voice telling you it needs?

    How can you show up for yourself in a comforting, tender, and loving way?

    What are you thankful for the opportunity to close out in favor of a new more aligned beginning?

  • Capricorn Full Moon | Embracing Flow and Structure

    Capricorn Full Moon | Embracing Flow and Structure

    June 21st 2024 @ 1 degree and 05 min of Capricorn

    TL:DR The full moon in Capricorn wants us to allow the tides of emotion to role in and out with out losing site of our goal. This might look like releasing commitments that have run their course and no longer serve any purpose, or ending emotional connections that take more than they give. By saying no to the things that aren’t aligned with your path you say yes to things that are.

    Venus, Mercury, and Neptune are all activated during this lunation.

    Venus and Mercury will be in a separating conjunction or Cazimi with the sun, meaning that the energies of Mercury and Venus in relation to the full moon might take some time to develop and eventually manifest.

    • Mercury wants us to understand our feelings and its relation to others feelings.
    • Venus wants us to find balance and harmony by connection to others emotionally.

    Neptune in Pisces forms a degree based square with the Sun and the Moon. This is a challenge and opportunity to go deep and find a way to give shape to things that have no form (find practical ways to work with our feelings).

    Hold space for others feelings without compromising yourself

    The Moon in Capricorn wants us to exercise emotional control, but the first step to emotional control is to be open to experiencing and expressing your own feelings in the moment with out getting lost in them. When we successfully hold space for your own emotions we are able to appreciate and hold space for others emotions.

    Successful integration of this energy looks like acknowledging and integrating the part of ourselves that are empowered through emotion, and the part that is empowered through self-discipline.

    some things that are worth considering when interacting with the energy:

    • How can I honor my feelings while staying consistent to the commitments

    Feeling is the path forward

    Being in your Cancer energy is to be receptive from a place of sensitivity, nurturing dreams, and being attuned to what the heart wants. Capricorn in comparison is more objective and can feel impersonal in comparison to Cancer. However, Capricorn will build the structure and will build the structure that will protect out hearts as we navigate this world.

    Give form to the feeling

    You can have it all, just not all at once. Think about all of the things you give your energy to. Do these things nurture you? Do they help you connect to who you truly are? Does it give you a healthy sense of security? The full moon in Capricorn wants you to take a hard look at all of the things you feel tied to discern what it is that truly worth being connected to and place it accordingly.

    You become what you do. You attract what you feel. Thoughts are direction, feelings are change. You may be able to trick yourself around you but you cannot trick the universe.

    True manifestation occurs when thought, action, and emotion are all aligned.

  • Maximizing Jupiter’s Influence in Gemini: Communication and Resilience | Astrology 2024-2025

    Maximizing Jupiter’s Influence in Gemini: Communication and Resilience | Astrology 2024-2025

    Jupiter enters Gemini on May 25th, 2024 until June 9th 2025

    What does Jupiter mean for us in general?

    Jupiter’s job is to bring expansion to our understanding, experiences, and knowledge. It represents good fortune, protection, growth, optimism, and abundance.

    While Jupiter was in Taurus, it pushed us to honor our needs for stability, comfort, grounding. While compelling us cultivate tangible outcomes, and provide for ourselves using our own abilities.

    Now that Jupiter is moving into the sign of Gemini we are going to expand our close connections, learn new information, and communicate in ways we haven’t previously.

    The goal of Jupiter in Gemini is to get in touch with the part of ourselves that needs to collect, communicate, articulate, and process information. When Jupiter is in this sign we seek mental stimulation, movement, and variety.

    What is the energy of Gemini?

    Gemini is a mutable, air sign.

    Mutable Modality: Having the qualities of change, flow, transformation, and pivots. Mutable signs act as an energetic bridge between cardinal and fix signs. What this means is that mutable signs are able to balance the enduring energy of fixed signs and the engaging energy of cardinal signs. If you think about where mutable signs fall in the year, Gemini is the transition from the end of spring into the beginning of summer.

    Element of Air: When a sign has the elemental quality of air, that sign is associated with topics and themes like communication, the mind, interpersonal topics, and socializing. Air signs tend to direct their energy outward, and skew towards action as opposed to being receptive.

    The energy of Jupiter and Gemini together.

    Jupiter will be transiting through the sign of Gemini for approximately one year. While it is here we will see expansion relating to our mindset, communication, network, and location. When Jupiter is in Gemini it is very resilient, there is energetic incentive to learn, change, and adapt to external factors.

    In comparison when Jupiter transited Taurus we learned how to expand our own sense of prosperity. This was achieved by setting clear goals and consistently showing up to manifest them.

    Jupiter in Taurus is very tangible, so lessons likely came through our 3-D reality.

    Jupiter in Gemini is more mental, and the big picture here is how we expand our mind to see the BIG PICTURE. This will likely happen through connections with new people, participating in an educational course or program, and/or going to new places.

    Gemini’s lessons help us to be more resilient by putting us in situations that are unfamiliar or foreign. We may see this manifest as changes with where we live, who we associate with, or where/how we consume information.

    Curiosity, being dynamic, and friendliness will manifest the best results for this transit.

    looking to the future Jupiter in Gemini primes for when Uranus enters Gemini in 2025. Where we will learn to integrate the lessons from Jupiter as we experience the new energy with Uranus. (especially when it trines Pluto in Aquarius)

    Manifesting opportunities and being “quick, creative, and concise”

    During this transit opportunities present themselves when we employ our own social charm, wit, and cleverness.

    There can also be a sense of comfort in articulating your thoughts and ideas, verbally or writing things down by hand.

    Gemini is attuned to collecting information, fact gathering, discussions and debates. Encouraging open questioning is also a good way to explore this energy.

    Most importantly we must be well informed in order to feel empowered during this transit.

    Jupiter out of balance in Gemini

    The ruler of Gemini is the planet Mercury. Mercury represents the way that we think, process information, our manner of speaking, and business transactions

    A well balanced mercury can navigate internal and external stimuli with ease and tact. While an unbalanced Mercury is easily disrupted by the same thing.

    Similarly with Gemini, when we do not honor our needs like rest, and set healthy boundaries we can quickly spiral and burn out. It is important to carry the lessons we learned from Jupiter’s transit in Taurus and establish a strong mind body connection. Taurus’ influence helped expand our material reality. Gemini works to expand our mental reality.

    Problematic behavior from Jupiter can look like, becoming obsessed with ones thoughts, or being bogged down by too many thoughts, lack of follow through or indecision, lack of focus, and gossiping.

    You should avoid

    • skimming the surface of topics
    • speaking too much or too soon
    • taking on too many projects or scattering your energy
    • staying busy for the sake of being busy.

    Its important to remember that Jupiter wants us to see the big picture. Contrarily Gemini wants to appreciate the details. The point here as we get to experience Jupiter in Gemini is to harmonize both ends of this expression.

    When we were working with Jupiter in Taurus our actions directly impacted our manifestations. Because Gemini is mental our thoughts can literally manifest themselves. So being mindful of how our own thoughts shape our perception of reality is key.

    Activities with Jupiter in Gemini

    • Keep in touch with friends, siblings, co-workers
    • Learn a new language, or expand your current vocabulary
    • take small or short trips
    • upgrade devices that you use to communicate
    • Anything that uses hands, arms, and lungs (breathing exercises is a great low effort way to engage with the energy, especially because breathing expands the lungs)

    I hope this helps 🙂

  • Full moon in Sagittarius – Big Vision

    Full moon in Sagittarius – Big Vision

    The key to the full moon in Sagittarius is to stay optimistic, keep the flame alive, and center your big picture. You are at the wheel, determining the direction of your life. Like with all full moons now is a time to release so we can bring in new more aligned things into our life.

    Sagittarius wants to be free, to go deep and gain wisdom. At times external pressures seem to work against that drive, they serve no purpose other than to play us out of our own abundance. The take away is to trust ourselves enough follow our own intuition and discernment as we blaze forward.

    The plant that co-rules this full moon in Sagittarius is Jupiter, which is still in Taurus. What this tells us is that the universe is here to provide, all we need to do is go out and cultivate the thing that we desire. The only requirement is that you are rooted in your ‘why’ and you are willing to adapt and transform as you need in order to reach that goal. The tallest trees have the deepest roots.

    Venus is also a key player in this full moon because it will be conjunct Jupiter. Venus’ influence helps find balance and harmonize the changes necessary to move on.

    We are continuing to synthesize the events of the Aries eclipse and the Uranus Jupiter conjunction back in April. What new things have we learned? how are we being asked to adapt. How have we defined and re-defined ourselves? Has this change impacted our course in life. As we march forward with these lessons, the activation of Sagittarius tells us to connect with the part of ourselves that is free of ego and its perceived divisions.

    The house were Sagittarius lives is likely where you will feel this energy the most. But looking at your Sun, Moon, and Rising sign can give helpful context as well.

    Aries: This impacts your 9th house of long distance travel, ethics, beliefs, publishing, and teaching(and teachers).

    Taurus: This impacts your 8th house of other peoples finances, investments, the occult, endings, transformation, death and rebirth.

    Gemini: This impacts your 7th house of relationships, partnerships, agreements, negotiations, and open enemies.

    Cancer: This impacts your 6th house of health, daily habits and behaviors, animals specifically work animals, and work that you do on a daily basis.

    Leo: This impacts your 5th house of creative expression, hobbies, play, children, and hobbies.

    Virgo: This impacts your 4th house of home, family, foundation, parents, and ancestors.

    Libra: This impacts your 3rd house of siblings, neighbors, communication and mindset.

    Scorpio: This impacts your 2nd house of personal finance, self esteem, material matters, and feelings towards possessions.

    Sagittarius: This impacts your 1st house of self, physical body, the way we navigate reality, early life themes, and our persona.

    Capricorn: This impacts your 12th house of spirituality, interconnectedness, endings, loss, hospitals, and things that are hidden.

    Aquarius: This impacts your 11th house of friends, larger groups and communities, and hops and dreams.

    Pisces: This impacts your 10 house of career, legacy, public reputation, and authority figures.

  • Greener pastures

    Greener pastures

    The new moon in Taurus will be happening at 11:21 pm on May 7th.

    During the new moon, Saturn will be making a supportive trine. Venus will be at home in Taurus, and Mars is in Aries. Making this month much lighter and smooth in comparison to April. The link to Saturn makes this new moon especially rewarding if we have been consistently working towards some goal.

    Taurus is the sign of the land and all of its physical gifts. Taurus is spring sustained, where the world is alive, fresh, and born again. Taurus are the roots that take hold in the fertile soil giving us food to nourish our hearts and bodies. Taurus is the bloom that paints the world in a full spectrum.

    When we we experience the new moon in Taurus its a time to sow new seeds in our hearts, minds, and bodies. Over the next couple weeks as we work with the energy of this lunation, by leaning into the things that make you feel prosperous and abundant. What this might look like it honoring going at the right pace, taking time to appreciate things around you, and surrounding yourself with people and things that help you feel at peace.

    Simultaneously we are learning how to integrate the events of the Aires solar eclipse back in April. Where we learned how important it was to define who you are as an individual and accept yourself wholly. We ingrain those lessons by leaning into the energy of Taurus. Which requires us to commit to what we say and do with who we are. What this means what ever truth we learned about ourselves, be need to commit to feed that part of ourselves so that can take root and bloom into something beautiful.

    Saturn forming a sextile with this new moon provides additional support as we navigate the energy. When Saturn sextiles the moon there can be a materialization of our emotional desires, or a more objective view of reality. If you are still feeling lost in the sauce with the eclipse energy and can’t find a way to understand the energy of the eclipse, trust your senses at this time they will tell you what needs to be done. This can be for the negative emotions as well as the positive ones. For example, if you feel a sense of shame for not doing something you told yourself you were going to do, that is your sign to get up and do it.

    Keep in mind that Taurus’ goal is prosperity. Long term prosperity is a product of sustainable actions and behaviors that get you your desired outcome. If you want to be financially stable do you have a regular ritual where you allocate money so you always have something when you need it? If you want to invite long and happy love into your life do you show up and love your self every day? If you want to improve your health are you taking the necessary steps to take care of what your body needs?

    The new moon themes based on your rising sign:

    Aries rising: Self worth, possessions, values, immediate environment

    Taurus rising: New beginnings, Self, Appearance

    Gemini rising: Isolation, endings, healing, the subconscious

    Cancer rising: Social groups, friends, hopes and aspirations

    A closing exercise to get in touch with Taurus energy:

    Since taurus is a sensual sign meaning that it is involved with the five senses, try experiencing one thing you love with each of your senses. Here is what I have been enjoying.

    I’ve been loving to see this AI artist on Instagram who makes these ethereal portraits

    I’ve been listening a lot to Cleo Sol’s new album Gold, here’s my favorite song

    Some scents that I have been enjoying recently:

    Jasmine incense

    Spellcrafter’s Money Maker Candle

    For taste chocolate has defiantly been my go to, and a nice cup of chai!

    For what I love to touch might bee a bit weird but I love the sensory feeling when I wash my rice. Very ASMR

  • Break Down or Break through

    Break Down or Break through

    The Jupiter Uranus conjunction puts us at an impasse that has been building over the last 6 months, making this the pinnacle of Uranus’ transit through the sign of Taurus that started in 2018. The culmination of this energy will be happening at 21 degrees of Taurus, and will be making a sextile with Mars in Pisces.

    Also happening at this time:

    • Sun will be squaring Pluto
    • Moon will be opposing Neptune
    • Chiron will be forming a conjunction with Venus at this time as well.

    The Jupiter Uranus conjunction brings new and exciting opportunities to our lives. Jupiter the planet of expansion and opportunities meets the planet Uranus the planet of sudden events and upheavals. They form a conjunction in the sign of Taurus, which is centered around value and possession (tangible and intangible).

    On a collective scale Uranus in Taurus can mean that we are able to see advancements and revolutions in the way we define currency, how we nourish ourselves, and a redefinition of what we value on a collective level.

    Here are some events that give off strong Uranus conjunction jupiter in Taurus vibes:

    • Bitcoin halving event
    • The off label use of of drugs like ozempic
    • Continuous blood glucose monitors
    • The popularization of mock meat, lab grown meat, and the growing need for more sustainable food production methods and practices.
    • Rejection of mainstream dating and marital preactices. (This is considering a western lense) (I am mentioning this because Taurus ruled by venus is associated with long term connections and commitment, Taurus is also associated with the hierophant who rules the contractual side of marriage)

    On a personal level this conjunction can bring events that lead to a breakthrough or a breakdown in the way that we cultivate prosperity. The opportunities that we may encounter that might feel weird, or out of the ordinary. The point of this conjunction is to try new opportunities, so you can experience aboundance.

  • Solar Eclipse in Aries

    Solar Eclipse in Aries

    I sat with my anger long enough until she told me her real name was greif.

    C.S.Lewis

    The solar eclipse is on April 8th 2:20pm at 19 degrees of Aries.

    This eclipse will be in a exact conjunction with Chiron, the asteroid of emotional and spiritual wounds. At the time of the eclipse, Venus will be making a supportive sextile to Pluto, and Saturn and Mars will be approaching their annual conjunction.

    This eclipse will be the most impactful for cardinal signs and placements on and around 19 degrees of Aries, (give it a 5 degree orb so 14-24 degrees).

    I will be doing this interpretation using whole sign houses, this means that the expression of Aries will be somewhere in your chart based on your ascendant sign. For example if you are a Capricorn rising this eclipse will be happening in your 4th house.

    The sign of Aries is all about who you are as an individual, What you feel, how you feel it, and how you act. Aries values inspired action, that feels good in your body. The goal of the eclipse in Aries is to help you define who you are and what you stand for. Even if it means you have to fight for it. But becareful of acting impulsively on your actions. This Eclipse wants you to honor all of your emotions without being controlled by them.

    Along for this eclipse activation is Chrion and Mercury.

    We have been working with Mercury retrograde since April 1st. This is an opportunity to slow down, feel our feelings, and decide with a level head how we want to move forward. (if not we end up needing to review, reflect, and redo) with this particular retorgrade with mars conjunct neptune in Pisces, you might feel the urge to move forward for the sake of movement without a plan or goal. Try to avoid that.

    If you have mercury direct in your natal/birth chart, be mindful of your energy. Are you quick to anger? take a step back and give yourself time to cool off. Do you feel like you need to get to a destination quickly? Is there really a need for immediacy, or is this some sort of manufactured urgency that doesn’t actually get you anywhere?

    Mercury retrograde gives you the space to slow down and listen to the fire inside you. Now is the time to get in touch with what feels right and find a way to integrate it into your life.

    For those of you with Mercury retrograde in your natal/birth chart. What has been causing energetic congestion in your life? What actions are you taking to clear the crap.

    Mercury retorgrade gives you the green light to move forward to our destination. Don’t look back.

    With Chiron there is a need to release guilt and shame that is associated with the way that you express youself. If your intentions are honest non-malicious you are supported in your acctions. If youre interested in reading more, check out my chiron in Aries article.

  • Why Chiron in Aries Matters this Eclipse Season

    Why Chiron in Aries Matters this Eclipse Season

    The April 8th Eclipse in Aries will happen in an exact conjunction with the asteroid Chiron.

    To understand the impact of Chiron in your natal chart as well as Chiron in transit. you need to understand the myth behind Chiron’s namesake.

    The term transit is used to refer to the movement of a planet through the constellations. For example the suns transit through the sign of Aries takes roughly 28 days.

    The Greek figure Chiron is a half man half horse demi-god, who’s parents Kronos and Philyra both abandoned him after child birth do to shame and disgust for his appearance. At the start of Chiron’s story he inherits a heavy karma from the actions of his conception.

    He was taken in by Apollo, the sun god who taught him the art of medicine, herbs, music, archery, hunting, gymnastics, and prophecy, and made him rise above his beastly nature. Chiron was known for his knowledge and skill with medicine, and thus was credited with the discovery of botany and pharmacy, the science of herbs and medicine.

    Although a centaur, Chiron’s physical appearance often differs somewhat from other centaurs, demonstrating his status and heritage. In traditional Greek representations of Chiron his front legs are human, rather than equine. This is in contrast to the traditional representation of centaurs, which have the entire lower body of a horse. This Made Chiron stand out physically as well as with his demeanor. Traditionally centaurs in Greek myth are described as wild, unclothed, lusty, overly indulgent drinkers and carousers, violent when intoxicated, and generally uncultured delinquents.

    By honing his mind, Chiron was able to transcend stereotypes and create his own identity.

    Later in life Chiron was pierced by an arrow treated with the blood of the hydra, this left a wound that was uncurable but could not kill him since he is immortal. Chiron spent the remainder of his life looking for a cure. He was unsuccessful in treating his own wound but was able to heal many others in his pursuits. This is where he gets his wounded healer title.

    At the end of his life, he is able to get Hercules to convince Zeus to exchange his immortality with Prometheus so he could die and be at peace. Zeus took pity on him and placed him amongst the stars to be remembered forever as the constellation Centaurus.

    Chiron’s story is tragic, Ironic, impactful, and endearing. While we are not immortal, and we have not been hit by an actual poison arrow. We all have deep wounds that we are dealing with. In our pursuit to master the more shameful, guilty, and . are able to in turn help others with similar afflictions.

    Chiron can be associated with the feelings of: shame, guilt, pain, vulnerability, and can also be used as an overall health indicator.

    So if you are feeling low energy, depressed, unsure, and/or lost. It’s okay, slow down or rest if you need to. You don’t have to have everything figured out right now. (you can thank mercury retrograde for that one) However, you do need to take the time to get in touch with yourself and your wants and needs. In the time around this eclipse, what are the things that are triggering you? good or bad. What makes you angry? Why? understanding those feelings are the secret to unlocking the wisdom of this eclipse and the Chiron transit in Aries.

    In the coming weeks we have an opportunity to have a cathartic release, as an effect of the self reflection of the Eclipse. This is so we can move fearlessly into the future in spite of all of the reasons people tell us that we shouldn’t.

  • Mercury Retrograde in Aries Forecast

    Mercury Retrograde in Aries Forecast

    Photo by Vlad Fonsark on Pexels.com

    Mercury stations retrograde at 26 degrees and 12 minutes of Aries. on April 1st 2024 @6:30 am EST

    People with Cardinal placements between 15 – 30 degrees (ARIES, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn) will feel this energy the most. Fire signs are up next (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) and Scorpio (due to mars rulership in traditional astrology)

    From April 01 to April 25th Mercury will appear to move backwards in the sky. The dispositor of this retrograde is Mars, which is in Pisces with in 10 degrees of Saturn.

    What does dispositor mean? Dispositor is a term used to describe the ruling planet of an activated sign, and is used in astrology to bring additional detail to the event being looked at.

    The energy of Mercury retrograde in Aries might feel a little weird. Aries likes action, instinct, inspirations, and passion. When Mercury normally spends it’s time in Aries communication is straight forward, fast, and witty. But a retrograde Mercury wants us to measure twice and cut once with our words. This is the antithesis of what Aries does normally, (instead of “ready, aim, fire Aries is fire, ready, aim). As a consequence we might feel ourselves spin out, like were doggy paddling in circles. As we enter this retrograde it’s important that we first protect our own energy and be patient with ourselves so we can be patient with others, because they’ll be experiencing the mercury retrograde too.

    Earlier I mentioned that the dispositor of the retrograde would be Mars. Currently Mars is in the sign of Pisces. The energy of Mars in Pisces, is also a bit weird. Mars focuses on action, passion, and assertion. This is a stark contrast to the energy of Pisces which appreciates belief, connection, oneness, and flow.

    This can shake out in a couple of ways:

    Less challenging:

    When Mars is in Pisces there might be more energy to fight or protect the things we believe in….(I say protect because of the the close proximity of Saturn to Mars in Pisces). Or a passion for play and exploration as a means for pleasure, but be careful about over indulging. If you are feeling this energy, ride the wave. There is likely something you are meant to find, realize, or connect with that has been hidden from you that will help you get in touch with yourself ahead of the Aries eclipse.

    More challenging:

    Another manifestation of this energy might be the dampening of passion, and a need to slow your roll. As Mars approaches Saturn in Pisces at the beginning of the mercury retrograde we are being checked by Saturn who’s been doing the work to clean up the energetic leaks in the Pisces part of our charts since the beginning of last year. And if the energy that we approach this conjunction causes us to burn out, or vaporizes our energy, or some how puts undue pressure on Saturn to move faster and produce results (it wont) (because Mars yields to Saturn in this scenario, and Mercury supports a slow down as well….Let me know if you want me to explain my reasoning for this) Our efforts might just get thrown in our face. This frustration, of perceived set back shouldn’t last the entire retrograde as mars moves away from Saturn, and approaches Neptune. Be cautious of retreating into negative coping mechanisms as we work with the energies.

  • Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Libra

    Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Libra

    We will be experiencing the lunar eclipse on the 25th of March. This will be happening at 5 degrees of the Libra and Aries axis. Any one with placements on and around 0 – 10 degrees of Aries and libra or the other cardinal signs (Cap, and Pisces) will feel this event the most.

    Libra is the sign of others, balance, harmony, support. Aries is the sign of self, instinct, will, and risk. As we approach the lunar eclipse in Libra there is push to make a sacrifice in order to break from cycles of self identification that are causing energetic leaks and poisoning us. Think about where in our lives where we have been taking on responsibility for things we have no control over including things we did in the past. Or places where we are being asked to show up as something externally that we do not feel aligned with internally.

    We are being asked to contend with the voices that have been impressed on our subconscious that tell us we should feel shame for being too much. That voice got us to change how we behave so we can understand what it means to work within someone else’s rules. Maybe back then it made sense to go along to get along so we had place to belong and a sense of safety. We are learning with this eclipse energy to be who we are without the need to meet the expectations of others. To find the safety by being grounded in who we are and trusting our own judgements and instincts.

    We are learning to decouple our identity from shame and instead loving ourselves wholly in spite of all the excuses we are given not to. We are divorcing ourselves from the value forced on us by others regarding our worth, because who we are has no measurable value and is therefore priceless. We are recommitting to the voice within us guiding us to the things that energetically feel right and feed the passionate flames within us.

    We are learning that the validation of self is the only validation that really holds any weight.

    As we release the parts of ourselves that rely to heavily on others we are then left with the task of self definition/concept. As we move forward into the Aries eclipse on the 8th think about the things in life the feed your fire, and as we find those things and take action on them. We empower others around us to do the same
