I want to share a personal share that will (eventually 😉) come full circle to this NOW moment, and my encouragement of how YOU/WE can navigate the waves that are incoming for March.
Buckle up. Or, if I know my audience… hands in the air 😆🥰
This past fall, I did something I haven’t done in 20 years….
I stopped keeping track of the Astrological currents. 😱
I stopped watching my Astro favorites on YouTube, or IG.
I even stopped watching the Astro reels Marco would send me.
I took an entire 4 months offline, and off the Astro Sauce.
My dear StepDad had passed, my Mom needed my care and attention, and thankfully, I had enough Spiritual Counseling clients to keep me afloat.
It was an incredibly stressful time, that was equally, if not more, tender, sweet, and deep.
I didn’t set out on this journey with some detailed intention, or some sweeping commitment. I just showed up to what God had dropped on my Soul’s doorstep. I wanted to be *right here.* I didn’t feel like communing with the Moon, I needed to care for my Mother. I didn’t care to give attention to Pluto, for death and transformation were already at my feet and fingertips.
I totally knew what was happening Astrologically (at least broadly speaking)… all that Astro doesn’t just go away by request… I just chose not to invest in it.
For example, I sold my Mom’s house DURING Mercury Rx in full awareness (and a holy s**t kind of amusement) of said retrograde and all I knew it to mean!!
Full asking price, all cash ⚡️
And what did I learn?
I learned that I still LOVE and VALUE the art of Astrology.
AND…
ASTROLOGY IS NOT GOD.
BUT GOD IS AS EACH AND EVERY STAR, PLANET, ASTEROID, AND SPECK OF COSMIC DUST.
AND GOD IS ALSO AS YOU.
GOD IS AS EVERY BEING THAT COMES YOUR WAY.
GOD IS THE HOLY MOMENT THAT IS RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE.
My break-up with Marco in 2023 taught me that I had made him into a false idol. I had placed him above my relationship to God. Our coming back together allowed me to learn how to be in right relationship to them both.
This past Fall taught me that perhaps I had done the same thing with Astrology, looking to it as a source of knowledge and power above the ONE POWER, the ONE INTELLIGENCE in back of the entire Universe. And I was given the perfect curriculum to learn how to come into right relationship to them both.
Like, did you catch that I sold my Mom’s house, FULL ASKING PRICE/ALL CASH…. DURING MERC RX??
I could have very easily requested a longer closing (so that we would close after Mercury went direct).
It was an ultimate, “Who’s your Daddy?” moment!
I chose God. I chose to believe that God knew what it was doing. That God had showed up as this buyer. That the prayers I had prayed for ease and grace were already in motion.
—> Even if that meant a re-do would be in store. (This is actually the most important piece… to trust, no matter what would ensue, that God knew better than I).
I chose to believe, and know that God was at the helm, that this was FOR ME and not against me.
And God got that house under contract in less than a week and completely closed with ZERO issues in 21 days.
(For those Astrologers that are wildly curious about this (as I was!), the closing date that the BUYER chose, turned out to be the Merc/Sun cazimi. Like, f***ck, right?! The perfection of it all without me having to control a single shred of it)
And, so… now we come back to YOU and this present moment in time. (Thanks for reading so far!)
Basically, friend, WHO’S YOUR DADDY?
Who are you giving your power away to?
Is it Trump? Is it our Gov’t?
Is it Social Media?
Is it the TWO retrogrades happening alongside TWO eclipses in March?
Allow me to encourage you to CHOOSE GOD.
What does that mean, Julie? How do I do that??
God is actually the incarnation known as Trump. God is actually the planet we call Venus, and Mercury (going retrograde in March). God is each and every 8 billion souls adventuring on Earth, and each one that shows up to like or not like your social media post.
This doesn’t mean that you have to be emotion-less at this time. Cause, remember, God is as you, too!
Be angry, be afraid, be disappointed, be trepidatious, be curious, be whimsical… BE YOU, FEEL YOUR FEELINGS.
YOUR INVITATION IS TO NEST TEA PLUNGE INTO THIS MOMENT ~ cause it’s FOR YOU/FOR US, and not against us!!
Trust that the TWO Eclipses, and TWO Retrogrades that will be happening this March will shape and mold you into your more authentic self.
NEST TEA PLUNGE that s**t, my friends!!
BRING IT ON GOD!!
I trust YOU. I trust the ONE POWER, the ONE INTELLIGENCE, the ONE LOVE in back of the entire Universe to get ME and ALL OF US to where our Higher Selves are longing to be.
Fear not a Tower Card moment. The Tower Card is POTENT medicine that can completely wipe out the old blueprints and bring on board the new.
And we are… forever spiraling UPWARD.
Right now there is an “appearance” of backward-ness. In your personal life, there might be an “appearance” of backwardness. But the nature of the Universe is always spiraling UPWARD.
Call it out for what it is.
It APPEARS that our system is breaking… but it’s possible that THIS is the very thing that creates the breakthrough we’ve all been asking for.
It APPEARS that suffering and struggle are on the horizon… but it’s possible that the struggle will develop the cultural muscles to SURGE forward. It’s possible that the struggle moves us into action, that our revolution prevents the momentary struggle from turning into lasting suffering.
And, however this moment APPEARS… GOD IS ON THE SCENE.
Not as in Santa-God's gonna rescue us all in his reindeer sleigh…
But there is a perfect order here. YES, IN THE MESS!
My break-up with Marco led to me becoming MORE JULIE, MORE SOVEREIGN, MORE FAITHFUL.
The death of my StepDad led to MORE TRUST, MORE LOVE, MORE FAITH.
Whatever is happening, collectively, and personally… will lead you/us to MORE if you SAY YES!
And I know you’re gonna say YES!
So you take all those IG or TikTok Astro reels telling you it’s gonna go this way or that way… and you affirm that GOD IS DRIVING YOUR BUS, therefore, you are headed to MORE (not greedy more, but AUTHENTIC MORE!)
You take all those Substack or News Reports telling you our country (or our world) are gonna go this way or that way… and you affirm that GOD IS DRIVING THIS BUS, therefore, WE ALL are headed to MORE.
AND I AM WILLING TO BE A PART OF THAT MORE!! Use me, guide me, speak to me, open me, show me the way!
NEST. TEA. PLUNGE. THIS. S**T!!!!
If you are with me, let me know below! GOD IS DRIVING MY BUS, therefore, I AM headed to MORE! GOD IS DRIVING OUR BUS, therefore, WE are headed to MORE!
