Venus day blessings. We are waxing with the Moon, and as I am sure you know by now, knee deep in retrograde season. This week Neptune stationed retrograde amongst Pluto, Saturn, Pallas Athene, Jupiter, and Mercury. What we are dreaming personally, ancestrally, and collectively is being asked to be reviewed, and perhaps even revised. We are renewing our commitment to our transformation, our work, our high visionary genius, our ability to expand through the realms of Spirit and Matter, and the ways we communicate.

Venus, the transmitter of love, relationships, art, and culture went direct yesterday at 5 degrees Gemini. Tomorrow Mars, planet of will and instinct enters his home sign of Aries. This astrological shift will be palpable and will literally rock the rest of the astrological terrain for the remaining of 2020. I will be speaking to this specifically in episode 5 of Stars, Stones and Stories, which will air next Friday.

As I stated in the first episode of my podcast, both Venus and Mars have each (and still are) on their own unique journeys this year of 2020, which means that many of us are deepening into our independent frequencies. The Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine frequencies are being purified, as the Motherline and Fatherline are being purified. The Capricorn Lunar Eclipse coming through July 4-5th will be the culmination of the Cancer/Capricorn Eclipse axis bringing this great phase of ancestral clearing to a closure (have no fear, there will be plenty of more opportunities for ancestral clearing!). 2020 is an immense year of spiritual lifting where we are immediately feeling the impact of the cross where Spirit and Matter meet.

Self care and self love remain to be the most potent ways to stay afloat in these dramatic times. In Western culture we have been systematically programmed to believe that taking care of oneself is selfish. However, it is essential to be rooted and authentically strong in these times. Each one of us is being stripped to the core, as this is the work. In my own journey of self care, I have pulled back immensely from posting on social media. It feels amazing. I love community and real live connection. I appreciate technology and the way to connect with others all across our Earth. And I also love slipping back into the simplicity of life, really savoring the sweet, and sacred moments.

When I flew home from Kemet at the end of February, which was just two weeks prior to the world shutting down to covid, I wrote these promises to myself: take exceptional care of my daughter, find financial health and freedom, take impeccable care of my body, social media batching, walk/dance/rebound daily, enjoy free time each day, work less and work more sophisticatedly, build friendship like good soil, trust my gut, be in the mystery, write my book, and make beautiful art. These promises are becoming more than seeds, many are sprouting and growing buds. It's pretty amazing.

What are your promises to yourself?

This Eclipse portal and retrograde season urge you to dive deep into the pure silence of your soul to tap into this Truth.
