Welcome to eclipse season, gorgeous. We are officially IN it.
Today we have a New Moon total solar eclipse in Leo, and the cosmic weather feels a little like somebody picked up a snow globe and shook the absolute shit out of it.
There’s a ton of fire. There’s information flying everywhere. Mars and Pluto are out of bounds. Mercury is incredibly active. And there is ZERO earth in the sky.
And then I looked up the Sabian symbol connected to this eclipse and nearly peed myself.
Intoxicated chickens flapping their wings trying to fly.
I mean, COME ON.
Because that image beautifully captures what I want us to remember today.
There can be enormous inspiration right now. New ideas. Revelations. A sudden awareness that something you’ve wanted for years isn’t actually what you want anymore. You may see an old identity, relationship, ambition, role or way of expressing yourself completely differently.
But you don’t have to immediately DO something with everything you discover.
Do not mistake ignition for integration.
This eclipse is happening in Leo alongside the South Node, bringing our attention to visibility, creativity, identity, expression, performance, recognition and personal power.
And one of the questions I’m sitting with is:
Where am I actually inhabiting my power, and where am I still putting it on like a cape?
Where are you still flapping really fucking hard?
Where are you looking for applause, validation or evidence that you’re doing it right?
Who have you become so committed to being that you haven’t left yourself any room to become someone else?
Maybe the stage you’ve been performing on isn’t the one you want anymore.
Maybe the ambition that once lit you up has quietly become an obligation.
Maybe something entirely new is beginning to reveal itself, but it hasn’t fully formed yet.
Perfect.
You don’t need to know what it means today.
Your mind may be ready to rocket launch while your body is saying, “Gorgeous, we need a sandwich first.”
Listen to her.
Eat. Drink some water. Move your body. Get outside. Get in the water. Give all of this information somewhere to LAND.
Something can be deeply true without requiring immediate action.
Let the lights go out where they need to go out.
Sit in the dark for a minute.
See what remains when nobody is watching and nobody is clapping.
And for the love of God, gorgeous, do not be the drunk chicken.
If you want to take today’s eclipse conversation deeper, I’m heading into The Inner Tide to pull the cards and explore what else is coming through.
