EP 73: Dark Goddess Hekate Master Class

This episode takes us into the weekly astrological energetics of December 16th - 22nd, 2024 with practical and magical tips and tactics to help resource and support you through all the energies. 

Last week was wobbly and weird. We had a full moon in Gemini and Mercury stationed direct. Did you ground yourself? Was there an ah-ha download or just weird messaging, portal madness?

Last week did you:

This week is more calm. No major transits, HOORAY! But it's still alchemizing all the shifts from last week. Get things as simple as possible and get your non-negotiables in terms of self care in focus.  

This week: 

Monday, December 16th: 

-🌓 Happy Mo(o)nday! This week is much lighter and yet, we're in a cycle or bumpy, clunky, and slow. The full moon in Gemini is still thick in our energetics. It was at its fullness just yesterday afternoon. Grounding remains the name of the game this week...and honestly can we just say 2025? Imma say it.

This lunation calls for balancing  our humanity and divinity, with focus in last week and this week.

You'll need to see where YOU need the move towards the midline, towards neutrality, towards a 4 or 5 rating vs. a 0 or 10. This lunation calls us out on some level of bullshit. It's time to let go of or outgrow something that's just keeping us out of harmony with our authentic self and personal path in this lifetime.

This lunation is pushing us to learn the difference between information and wisdom.

What have you just memorized and regurgitated vs. what have you learned? What do you know and have made decisions about and had experiences with? This moon pushes us to see how there are different ways of working with info and data. WE NEED WISDOM. Not quick fix info. We're all swimming in different pools of how we can not only generate more wisdom in our lives but also navigate from it...on the regular. 

The other reminder for this week is that Mercury stationed direct yesterday (Sunday) and the directive is still to practice NON REACTIVITY. Witness. Process. Solve when you need to. I'm also tacking on that this is the single most potent piece of guidance and direction for 2025. 

 Notice it's a practice, not a perfect. And we need to start practicing now. 

When we're reactive and riding the waves of fear, alarm, surprise, and adrenaline...this is the fastest way to slow down progress, never starting the things, hit burnout or chronic fatigue....and to LOSE a long game task or goal.

This week, and 2025 as a whole, are a time when diffusing our emotional reaction, temporarily, is deeply helpful in order to learn and upgrade our way through things. 

And a reminder for basic post Mercury direct post shadow (now through December 29th) keep planning for the slow downs. Keep buffering your schedules and to-do's with extra time. Plan for things to take longer than they should or you want them to. Ask for the extension. DO NOT STRESS AND GRIT YOUR WAY THROUGH IT. Advocate. Plan ahead....or let things go. Cancel. Reschedule. It's ok. Or simple pause, rest, regroup...but do not quit. Remember the tortoise won. Keep that tucked in your heart for at least the next 4 years. If we get moving too fast, or let our ego, or our melancholy get the best of us...we've handed over the keys to the kingdom. Now is not the time for it. Lock in as my kids would say. Get focused. Stay focused. Go slow.  

Through May is a period of consistent adulting, toddler early bedtimes, and scheduled doses of play and fun. 

There will be pleasure, manifestations, sparkle, and gifts; it's just not the overall vibe. Know that 2025 is a year of more weirdness. A practice of presence is what is absolutely called for. Being able to assess what is happening in the now while having an education of the past and an open subconscious to what has never been is where we're headed. 

There is great potential for constructive change.

Focus on you. Keep things local. Contribute to community in the ways you can. Deepen your relationship to the Divine and tend to your vessel impeccably.  Life is getting a new, strange upgrade of play. Be prepared. Pick your avatar and play to win the long game. Pluto in Aquarius is setting the scene but there's a lot of shifts in the astro coming that are truly new and unknown. But more on that in the weeks and months to come.  

This week...mat, hydration, meditation, toddler bedtimes, non-reactivity repeat. 

Tuesday, December 17th:       

- 🦄 Day 1 of Rooted Climb  - No props needed in this workout. This workout is so juicy with classical pilates mat work; series of five, bridge, planks with my dash of weird...L sits, Lotte Burke work, lizard, and my all 4's hip series 🍑

It's juicy and amped, yet much more calm and hopefully grounded than on Sunday. Your wish can be as simple as asking your guides and guardian angels to move you deeper into wisdom and discernment and out of info overload overwhelm. This shift moves you into power and empowerment. It's perfect for a Gemini lunation.

Last week did you:

This week is also wobbly and weird. Yay. I know. We've got a full moon in Gemini and Mercury stations direct. Ground yourself, like your sanity depends on it....'cause it might. 

This week: 

Monday, December 9th: 

-🌓 Happy Mo(o)nday! The end of last week was a lot with a Mercury Cazimi, Mars stationing Rx, and Venus moving into Aquarius and bumping into Pluto on the way. Our nervous systems are still trying to figure out what's going on. That power wash from the sun while Mercury is Rx is bigger than we realize, and good goddess, Mars slowing down is going to take some time for us to benefit from.

There's a lot to the current layer cake of energetics. The only thing to do is to keep doing the things we know support us.

It's a period of time of consistent adulting, toddler early bedtimes, and scheduled doses of play and fun.

If you're waiting for inspiration to strike...it might...but you won't get to activate it till mother earth says its time... in the Spring (or a teeny bit earlier in mid February). Practice the pause. Indulge in wandering the liminal spaces. Don't push ahead. Walk. slowly....so the insights land and you can move forward with more strategy, wisdom, intuition, and soul connection. The time will come. But you'll push it farther away if you sprint for it. There is NO hurry, even if it feels like it.

Stay curious. Be open. If you meltdown, let it through and sink in to see if you can identify why. What can it gift you via understanding? There is wisdom and balance from the insight we experience this week. We just might feel wobbly as we receive it. 

- 🦄 Day 2 of Solid Climb - No props needed! This video focuses on your spine and hips...in full spectrum, range of motion, mobility + strength and stability. Our favorite side lying bent knee series is here. Get Ready! Feel the burn 🔥 🍑.

- 🪄Final readings for 1:1 Magical Mentees are out. Today Cycle #4 tarot readings and to-do lists are complete!

Wednesday, December 11th: 

 - 🎙️ NEW episode on The Magic Spark! EP 87 welcomes another surprise special guest. We delve into Lilith, Hekate, Kali...and new to our table...Medusa! Find out who I'm chatting with by listening on Spotify, Apple, or here.   

- 🦄 Day 1 of Full Moon Climb #1 - No props needed in this workout. This video is our first of this full moon cycle. Week 4 of our 4 week training cycle. It asks the most of our effort. It doesn't always mean 'harder' but it will always be deeper and push us past our comfort zones. you'll see stacked log sufi rolls, side plank, our mermaid crunches and my all fours hip series. This workout is deep hip and strong leg work. 

Thursday, December 12th:

- 🌕♊️ Full Moon energy begins -Energy amps up...big time. This energy may invigorate you or drain you. We hope it fuels us to finish up, launch, or complete something. But if it's just exhausting, it's all ok. Something will be revealed...and something will come of what was revealed. Stay present. Check in with what your body needs. Stick to the mat and if you're out of gas for our full moon workouts, swap for a new moon stretch. Keep it simple. Ground through your vessel. This moon is in an Air sign, Gemini...so the propensity for anxiety is real. Bathe in vetiver oil, my loves. 

- 🎥🌕🎴 Watch your Full Moon Tarot Reading - It's so good and so clear. The energy is big and high, you need this reading...and the prompts offered for journaling or a personal full moon tarot reading. 

Friday, December 13th: 

- 👑 Today is a very special Aphrodite's day.....it's a true Goddess Day! Friday the 13th is NOT bad luck, that's a lie of the patriarchy, it's a day to celebrate the 13 lunar cycles in a year and the typical 13 moon cycles those with a womb space typically experience. It's a magic day of abundance and creativity. Celebrated in Goddess Culture, when god was a woman, and we knew the magic of the Divine Feminine day-to-day. 

Every Friday is a time to ask: What does my inner goddess need in order to remember she is sacred, divine, and designed to receive? Today it's extra important to do so, and/or to celebrate any of the goddesses that resonate with you...*cough, of course include Aphrodite, it's HER day*.

🥂Options for celebrating (but not limited to):

Saturday, December 14th:  

- 🦄 Day 1 of Full Moon Climb #2 -You'll need a set of blocks for this workout. Heads up, foam blocks on this one might not work so well. We're stepping up on the blocks for a little pistol squat prep (you can do them without the block if needed). You'll also see our shoulder series, my hip stirs, swinging dogs, reverse planks, and floating! Oohhhh all the strength magic here. get-er-done!

- 🎥🌕 Watch your Full Moon Basics - If you're new to following the lunar cycles, or Unicorn Wellness, or you just need a refresh. This video tutorial offers the themes and energy that every full moon brings us. 

Sunday, December 15th: 

- 🌕 ♊️ Full Moon in Gemini - It's a big energetic day! In general with a full moon in Gemini we'll all be called to balance two sides of something, and this one is no different. Today/this week could feel very wobbly not just because it's a full moon , but because Mercury stations direct today. As always, stay present, double down on grounding....this lunation is calling for a balancing between our humanity and divinity. You'll need to see where YOU need the move towards the midline, towards neutrality, towards a 4 or 5 rating vs. a 0 or 10. This lunation is for sure going to call us out on some level of bullshit. It's time to let go of, grow out of. This lunation is going to push us to learn the difference between information and wisdom. What have you just memorized and regurgitated vs. what do you know and have made decisions about and had experiences with? These are different ways of working with info and data. WE NEED WISDOM. Not quick fix info.  Again, make sure to watch your Full Moon tarot reading in the Unicorn Wellness Studio Library. 

- ☿ ▶️ Mercury stations Direct -Today starts 2 weeks of post shadow. Our final phase of a Mercury retrograde cycle. If things lightened up in the last 2 weeks in communication, travel schedules, shipping, or finances...make sure to buckle your seatbelt...it may get bumpy again. 

Today begins the 3rd pass at the path we've already covered twice. 

Whatever topic(s) just won't quiet down in the last 4 weeks get's another shoutout. This is our final exam. 

Continue to practice NON REACTIVITY. Witness. Process. Solve. 

This is a time when diffusing our emotional reaction, or temporarily putting it on a shelf will be deeply helpful in order to learn and upgrade our way through things. 

Keep planning for the slow downs. Keep buffering your schedules and to-do's with extra time. Plan for things to take longer than they should or you want them to. Ask for the extension. DO NOT STRESS AND GRIT YOUR WAY THROUGH IT. Advocate. Plan ahead....or let things go. Cancel. Reschedule. It's ok. 

If you know what house Sagittarius sits in in your personal astro chart...it's happening here...again. What can we learn? What can we gain from this? How can we evolve? Or how can we laugh it off and simply care less....yup...a much kinder way to say...lighten up...release our inner type A control freak (talking to myself here, ya'll). 

🙈...But I will say this combo of Gemini full moon and Mercury direct might be reeeeally weird or rough on the communication front. Heads up. It could just be the wackiest game of unintentional phone tag...say it with me....stay committed to NON REACTIVITY. It's not as bad as you think. Or if it is, the solve through it is easier than you perceive. 

- 🪞Your weekly mantra:  

I am both human and divine. 

I balance my humanity and divinity.

I tend to the 3D with diligence.

I tend to my Spirituality with consistency. 

I do my best daily.

And that is all I can do. 

Therefore, I do all I can do, each day. 

mat

meditation

tarot

repeat

I trust in the long game of the tiny and mighty.

This episode takes us into the weekly astrological energetics of December 2nd - 8th, 2024 with practical and magical tips and tactics to help resource and support you through all the energies.   

Last week was oddly quiet. There was a new moon (we're still in the energy) and Mercury stationed retrograde. There was magic messaging with unexpected solutions on the table. Did you eat?

Last week did you:

This week is a lot. Mid to end of the week gets crunchy and yet....it's auspicious and all offers clarity, ah-ha's and breakthroughs! 

This week: 

Monday, December 2nd: 

-🌓 Happy Mo(o)nday!  Our New moon occurred yesterday, in Sagittarius. We're still deep in its energy as well as swimming in a Mercury Rx and prepping for multiple shifts in the cosmos this week. Hang on to your hats, and above all prioritize calm...plan your days and make sure to include at least one of your Unicorn Wellness practices every day. They're all designed to help harmonize and synthesize the crunchy so it's either not as challenging OR we clearly hear the lesson in it for our growth and progress through. Plus every video offering is infused with an energy healing. For my healing junkies out there, this is massively micro-dosed and multi-level healing/magic support.  

- 🎥 🎴Watch you New Moon Tarot Reading.If you haven't already. The prompts are gems this go round. This is a lunation to lean into. 

- 🦄 Day 1 of New Moon Climb #2 -No prop needed for this constructive rest series, unless adding props supports your practice. We're still in our flexibility and mobility cycle. This video has a focus on the shoulder heads, neck (hello, scalenes), and a lovely dose of rotation for detox and digestive support (see why this is happening this week?) as well as a hearty hamstring hug series and fish to encourage flow in this new moon cycle that could get crunchy and heated because of the astrology this week.

Wednesday, December 4th: 

-🌑🏹 New Moon energy ends. 

This lunation is conflicted simply as it is. Sag is fire that wants to wander, explore, and galavant. New moon's want us resting and hermitting. Regardless of how this lunation is landing with you, it offers fresh starts and a new path forward in weird ways you may not have entertained prior. Lean into your meditation, mat, and energy healings. Don't sleep on the power of our 5-min Frequency Reset. It is literal magic and if you tend to avoid meditation. TRY THIS! If you're a member here, you're witchy and energetic AF and you need the spiritual hygiene of clearing off the energies of every day that attach to us and can inadvertently drag us down. This lunation offers us an optimist gallop forward and that always begins in the mind. Support your frequency and clarity in order to make progress forward this week because this week from this point forward could be crunchy and salty. Support yourself through the weird traffic jams and lane changes of today, Wednesday, through Saturday.  

Thursday, December 5th:

 - 🎙️ NEW episode here on The Magic Spark! EP 85 is super special. We welcome back one of my favorite humans, fellow Unicorn, Mentee, and one of the hosts of Queens History Podcast, Nathan Foster. It's a podcast party! RUN to listen....and it's a surprise as to what we're chatting about! You're going to need to tune in. 

- 🦄 Day 1 of Combo Climb -You'll need a set of yoga blocks and yoga strap for this movement series.  Today we're out of our constructive rest cycle and enter back into strength training. Lots of attention to your shoulders and spine today with yummies for your QL's (lower back). You'll see serving, believe it or not it's easier with the cork blocks, because they're heavier than a foam block. These also build strength in the shoulder girdle and upper back and shoulders (heeeeey, delts!) and my personal favorite hip circles, followed up with more juicy hip work and deep core. 

Friday, December 6th: 

- 💗👑 Every Friday is Aphrodite's Day! Time to ask: What does my inner goddess need in order to remember she is sacred, divine, and designed to receive? Give her as much of that as you can today.

- 🪄Group Magical Mentees receive their final reading + to do list! Cycle #4 tarot reading and to-do list are in the Magical Mentoring Library. It's our final reading of this session. This cycle we're working with How to tap into Uranian energy? This question was offered by Kali and is pure magic. Mentees will also find a bonus video Question Expansion under Cycle #4 as well that explains the question and gives depth and context from Kali. 

- ☀️Sun Conjunct Mercury! All hail the Cazimi. Mercury will be pulled into the heart of the Sun today for a power wash. All conjunctions are wild cards. We never quite know how they'll shake out but a cazimi is a kiss of the sun and a reset. A Mercury wash during a Mercury retrograde....now that's something new. It could be a crunchy, caustic explosion, or a refreshing clarity...remember it's always for the greater good because a kiss of the sun is the magic we want and need. It infuses our communications with vital life force and strips the crap away. There is truth here for sure. We may just not like what the truth is. Remember....the truth will set you free, but first it'll piss you off. This is all happening in Sagittarius....Sag seeks liberation at all costs. We need and want whatever info this is. It births liberation at another level. If you know what house Sag sits in in your natal chart the truth and liberation lies here, in these themes. 

- 🔴🦁 Mars stations Rx in Leo. Much of the crunchy cranky is coming from here this week. I love to de-demonize the god of War and yet...all truth and no shade...Mars does not like to be slowed down. It wants to move forward and does not respond well to impediments. This shift will bring up emotional insecurities in the next two months. It's very on brand for this season in the northern hemisphere. Pursuing our goals and desires may feel seriously thwarted in this period of time...however...remember the power of a retrograde is to slow down, to think, contemplate, rethink, reimagine, redo, and reevaluate. It offers us magic in breakthroughs about what motivates us and keeps the tank full towards our goals. This is the pull back that generates tension to fling the arrow straight to the bulls-eye once it stations direct (in February). If you feel like your energy just was drained by an invisible vampire....you can blame Mars Rx. Our literal physical energy could take a hit. Focus on hydration, rest, and daily movement (just. get.on.the.mat.) to help support fuel in the tank this month. Lean on peppermint tea and essential oil to help cook and boost momentum. It's a gift towards our true place in the sun, but first it's the work we've been avoiding in terms of our fullest main character energy. There's major feels with this one because Mars will backtrack all the way into Cancer...so the hurt and tears are on tap. Remember feelings are valid data points but they aren't facts. In this transit we're going to be asked to grow up and out of some of our victim nature and hurt feelings. Time to let some things go or accept we may have been off track with the feelings of hurt...the narrative might have actually been on us, not the Universe. Good news, it's simply time to release them and move into confidence and empowerment! No more self shame, blame, judgment or guilt, that's sooooo last year. 

Saturday, December 7th:  

- 🌹👽Venus enters Aquarius. We love this transit! Our lady Aphrodite let's her freak flag fly and steps into bold aesthetics that are very neon, non-binary...think shaved heads...because the revolution has no time for hair products. This is a turn to community connection. It's about attraction of the mind, not the vessel or packaging. It's about falling in love with humanity and looking at all the weird ways we can connect and help. There could be a shift in communication styles or formats...all with a massive focus on values and authentic integrity. This is expansive and futuristic. It aims to solve and does not care who thinks what about it. Think friendship compounds, polyamory. Think intellectual heart driven solutions. Even if it never resonated before....does it solve what needs solving? TRY IT. It's Aphrodite so it will touch all we love + our money. There are blessings and growth here. DO THE WEIRD THING. This is super fresh and has everything to do with Pluto in Aquarius ⬇️.

- 🌹♇Venus conjunct Pluto. AS our lady Aphrodite saunters int oAquarius she has to squeeze past Pluto to get there. We all know the drill on conjunctions at this point. It's a tight squeeze of two celestial bodies. A passing in tight quarters and we never know exactly how it'll shake out. Will it be a steamy beginning to a great long lasting love affair? Or will it be anger and frustration of two bodies both trying to go first and end up in a fight because no one steps back? We'll just have to see, but I'm getting amazing vibes off of this. If we're willing to embrace the weird, this one is a cathartic change in terms of blessings in everything Aphrodite touches as she walks across the ballroom that is Aquarius. It's giving tango solo. Shamelessness. And bold, unabashed desire. But first, it may bring up your shadows, what is hidden beneath, of what you truly want in terms of love, beauty, and finances. Lean in. Sometimes we stuff our wants and desires so far down we don't even know what we really want. This conjunction may just reveal it to us. Most astrologers don't love Venus in Aquarius, but I think that's because they don't do well with change, shift, or personal evolution. When we embrace our unabashed authenticity, no matter how 'odd' we may think it is, Aquarius rewards us for it. SO when the goddess of love and beauty has a chance to snuggle the God of the Underworld, our deepest desires are primed to surface. EMBRACE THEM! It's time to shine as YOU in the world, not as others want or think you should be. 

- 🔱🐠 Neptune stations direct in Pisces. AND THERE WAS MUCH REJOICING! As one planet slows down (Mars) another moves forward. Neptune stations direct in Pisces and offers us clarity in what we want to bring to fruition in this life. Our goals may clarify...tho we won't be able to drive them forward just yet (Mars 🙄) but we will know. And we'll understand more about the quality of the work we need to do and some of the formats or steps we need to swim towards our fantasy. If we're listening to Saturn we'll have a much clearer picture about what we want, and how to get to it....if not the itemized steps, the quality of the effort to get there. Our dreams are becoming more of our reality. We're moving out of delusion and into reality.

This episode takes us into the weekly astrological energetics of November 25th - December 1st, 2024.  

This week is oddly quiet. We've got a new moon and Mercury stations retrograde. There is magic messaging with unexpected solutions on the table. Meditate. Use your energetic healings. Stay open. 

This week: 

Monday, November 25th: 

-🌓 Happy Mo(o)nday!  Mercury stations retrograde today.  We exit our retroshade pre-shadow. These are the 2 weeks where we get the second pass at the lesson/blessing this retrograde wants us to receive. 

Some kind of crunchy topic or mishap that occurred in the last 2 weeks, comes back in some fashion or form. If you know what house Sagittarius sits in in your personal astro chart...it's happening there.

Every Mercury retrograde affects technology, communication, shipping, schedules, travel, and finances. It's literally the worst time of the year for it. With an uptick in travel and spending as holiday season launches it's not the easiest time to need to side-eye all the things. Just stay diligent. Check on things. Double check the schedule. Make sure you get the refunds you're owed, be ready for mistaken payouts and weird bank account things, packages being returned or late delivery. It's just the lay of the land. It's ok. It'll be ok. 

Continue to commit to NON REACTIVITY. (4 more weeks.)

Witness. Breathe. Say a prayer that whatever goes sideways, balances quickly and efficiently. After that prayer, go support the solution whatever way you can. This cycle is about learning, and sometimes the mess is just mercurial f*ckery that is trying to teach us to let go and not care so much. Sometimes the mess is trying to teach us to laugh. When we can laugh things off, all the better. 

This second phase of the cycle, tends to be easier. Particularly for this community.  

Plan for the slow downs. Buffer your schedule with extra time. Plan for things to take longer than they should or longer than you want them to. Harness all your best Virgo tendencies. Control what you can. Prepare for the worst, and expect the best.  

- 🎥 🎴Schedule time to watch you New Moon Tarot Reading. I'll load it into your library TODAY. Hang in there. It'll be there. Today. Carve time for it this week.

Tuesday, November 26th:      

- 🦄 Day 1 of Classic Love - No prop needed for this workout! We're in the Classical Pilates wheel house for the next 3 days... with my spin on it, as always. It's a truly full body workout that is sneaky and deep; you'll see sufi rolls, stacked log, lizard, side kick series, goddess pose and fencing...it's hip focused and ridiculously good. This is a personal favorite. 

- 🎥 ♐️ Watch Zodiac Basics: Sagittarius. If you're looking to know Sag energy better, head to this tutorial in your Unicorn Wellness Library. It's great for those who have natal placements in Sag, but this content is for everyone, to understand this season and this lunation better. Find it in Astrology Basics Part 2. 

- 🎥 🌑 Watch New Moon Basics. If you're new to following the lunar cycles, or just need a refresher, this video takes you through the energetics of every new moon. Find it in Astrology Basics Part 1 in your UWS member Library. 

Wednesday, November 27th: 

- 🎙️ NEW episode on The Magic Spark! EP 83 welcomes back our favorite co-host, Dionna Eshleman, to chat Hekate. We focus on the types of lessons our dark goddess offers IRL, as well as discuss how to start casting spells. There's going to be another episode on this, the topic has come up a ton lately....thus we begin. As always, listen on Spotify, Apple, or here then share it on social or with a friend! Because sharing is caring. 

Thursday, November 28th:

-🌑🏹 New Moon energy begins. 

This begins the downturn. It's always conflicting at this time of year in the northern hemisphere. It'll feel sleepier. It'll have you wanting to hermit and hunker down and cozy up. It's not a cycle of galavanting...tho Sag will want to...it's more about the mind than physicality under this moon. Today begins the energy of reflection and meditation. If you're feeling slow and needing more time to recharge or rest...you're in alignment. Honor it. Don't prescribe to the should's and expectations. Take care of YOU and do what YOU need. It's radical activism to advocate for ourselves on the daily (but, seriously) especially if you self identify as the she's, the gay's, and the they's. The culture has expectations of us...this time of year exaggerates them. DO NOT BUY INTO IT. If it doesn't serve you in equity. It's a no. 

- ❌🦃 No Thanks. We don't prescribe to Thanksgiving in our house. I always say we do a 'No, Thanks' giving ritual. We gather, we eat, and we discuss gratitude...as well as genocide. We can absolutely reframe and reclaim this day and honor the experience of gathering with those we love. Let's just make sure to educate as well, so that it doesn't turn into spiritual by-passing or whyte washing. Thanksgiving was never a thing. It's a made up narrative of patriarchy. On the heels of recent election results, its important to get really honest and understand we are a country founded on genocide, racism, and patriarchy. We've been fed and have been eating propaganda for too many years in order to make our origins okay. To not have to really think or understand that reparations are in order. This is a moment today, to do better, because we know better. Reclaim the day. Express gratitude AND know the facts. Then help advocate for Indigenous peoples. Because education is power, consider reading this piece on NPR about Indian Boarding Schools or listen to American Genocide by IllumiNative. Let's learn our way out of performative allyship. This is a yes, and moment, every year. This is shadow work. This allows for future healing. Without honesty, healing and progress are not possible. Because around here, we no longer lie to ourselves (7 of Swords). 

Friday, November 29th: 

- 💗👑 Every Friday is Aphrodite's Day! Time to ask: What does my inner goddess need in order to remember she is sacred, divine, and designed to receive? Give her as much of that as you can today.

- 🦄 Day 1 of New Moon Climb #1 -You'll need a 36" high density foam roller for this constructive rest movement series. This begins 6 days of our constructive rest cycle. Why, because results actually happen in the rest. It's all stretch, mobility, and flexibility. Rejoice and above all, get on the mat. It's the best time to begin a practice or return to it. Welcome to Week 1 of your 4 Week training cycle.

Saturday, November 30th:  

 - ✨ November Simple Stars complete. If you had a Simple Stars natal chart scheduled this month, it's in your inbox by the end of today! 

Sunday, December 1st:

- 🌑 New Moon in Sagittarius. The dark moon is Hekate's moon. It's Kali's moon. It is considered the witchiest portion of the lunar cycle and is said to offer the most messaging. Clarity will come, if we make clarity welcome. We make it welcome by doing a little cleansing, meditation, perhaps an energy healing and simply being open to breakthroughs, downloads, and ah-ha's. Let the weirdest solution be an option. Listen to the Universe...found objects, song lyrics that seem really loud, take notice of everything. If you think something is a message...it is. Be present, journal it out, share it in our private community group.

Listening to the Universe often feels like the kookiest scavenger hunt...when practiced, after multiple cycles it starts to make sense. Let today be the day it begins to make sense, or celebrate the magic of honoring it for many cycles. 

Also, don't forget to work with your prompts in your New Moon Tarot Reading, they can facilitate journaling or be used for a personalized tarot reading. 

- 🪞Your weekly mantra:  

I am the oracle I seek.

I am the magic eight ball. 

I am the tarot.

I am the runes.

I allow my messaging to be heard clearly. I accept it and become Alice chasing the white rabbit. Off I go, swallowing the red pill and trusting that what's mine is mine and what is for me will be seen and received. 

I explore my own potential. Everyday. Every moon.
