How can we make space for our authenticity as our most potent gift for the world? How might honoring our boundaries facilitate more ease in moments of conflict? How might staying with your own experience expand the capacity for true connection? How do we resource ourselves to relax our over-vigilance?

In this offering, I'm sharing my personal notes and contemplations about the week ahead. Combining astrology, tarot, the Akashic & Cosmic Body perspectives, and guidance from my sacred ancestors, healing guides and my own spirit, I hope these messages will serve you as you walk your path.

While this contemplation was inspired by the energy and the astrology of the week of 05.08.23, I also offer the possibility that that the message here is relevant for you - even if you found the episode sometime in the future. 

This week, the Sun meets Uranus in Taurus, Mercury sextiles Saturn and Venus, Venus trines Saturn, and Mercury goes direct at the end of the week.

I mentioned the work of a few friends and colleagues:

• Natasha Levinger's class Grounding is Your Secret Weapon
• Rebecca Padgett
• Kathryn Solie
• Jonathan Mead's post on boundaries
