✨ This new moon in Ta**us just so happens to be conjunct Algol - a fixed star associated with misfortune, chaos, and intensely transformative energy. Let’s see what these power players are guiding the collective towards…

🪄King of Wands + Ace of Wands 🪄
Shadowed by the Five of Cups:
Time to take all those regrets, disappointments, and frustrations, and use them to fertilize the metaphorical soil, so you can dig your (10 foot stiletto) heals into towards inspired action.
Sick n’ tired of being sick n’ tired? Excellent! Let’s tear the motherfu*kin roof off, and strike a match to light the way in making those gorgeous dreams a reality - no permission needed. 😘 ✨

✨ Lunaria Annua - AKA Annual Honesty, AKA Moonwort - represents protection, prosperity, honesty, and sincerity. According to its lore, it’s said to ward against monsters, i.e. wendigos, chupacabras, litterbugs, and people who back into parking spaces during high-traffic times, just to name a few…😘✨

✨Rabbit Rabbit you sweet spring muskrats - In the spirit of the full Pink Moon in Libra, let’s have a look-see on what La Luna is illuminating, what we’re shedding as a collective, and what the rebalancing of the scales looks like moving forward:

Illuminating: Origin of Water (Queen of Cups) If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times, YOU CAN’T HIDE YOUR HEART FROM THE MOON! And why would you even want to? The spotlight is on your intuition, and it’s time to pay attention to whether or not your actions are congruent with love, creativity, and compassion. If you’ve felt like you’ve been swimming against the current, here’s a gentle reminder the tides are turning, and these waters support you.

Shedding: 8 of Fire Reversed (8 of Wands) In this context, not only is the foot off the breaks, the whole dang pedal has been torn out. Any hesitation to move in the direction of your heart’s gusto is gone, and if the 8 of wands is the moment you pull back an arrow and draw the bow, then this is that final release. And man alive that’s gotta feel good!

Rebalancing: 2 of Water (2 of Cups) Did you think we were done with the water analogies? Of course not, ya big silly - The dam has broken, and love remains the waters we’re swimming in. The scales aren’t tipped, here, they’re rebalancing to promote choice, partnership, and copacetic harmony. “Love is where we are going, and where we have come from”.

Happy full moon my dearest darlings, don’t be afraid to jump in, the water’s fine. 😘

✨Beethoven’s Symphony 6 in F Major always seems to call my name, certain measures call me like my mom waking me up for school, “Raaaachaaaael!….RAAAACHAAAAEL!”
The funny thing is, the piece translates to, “the awakening of cheerful feelings upon arriving at the countryside.”
And that exactly resonates with how I’m right now, the cheer of being in the world outside of a hospital bed.

I’m taking it slow, and my heart is heavy, but my will is strong.

Thank you, sweet friends, for being my nature’s call, “Raaachael….RAAACHAEEEL!”
I hear you, I’m up!
