Lunar Guidance: 11/4-11/11/2024

It's been a fucking rough ride this past week, hasn't it? If you haven't been trudging through the muck this past week, you'd better be checking that pulse of yours (or you'd better brace yourself, because it's coming). The psychic shitstorm we've been individually and collectively facing has not been for the faint of heart. (All signs point to Pluto.)

I have personally been grappling with some health issues over this past week that has deeply impacted me on every level. It's been pretty ugly, if I'm being honest. And that's exactly the point: To not just be authentic in our expressions and dealings with others, but to be (BRUTALLY) real with ourselves. Has me rethinking everything. Questioning everything I'm trying to do here. What am I trying to do here?

Starting something new and building momentum is daunting, especially when you’re creating content and sharing it on fresh accounts. The rules are clear—consistency is non-negotiable if you hope for the algorithm’s nod of approval, just enough to push your work out to a wider audience. It’s an unspoken agreement: you show up, and maybe, just maybe, the algorithm will meet you halfway. That was why I set a dedicated posting schedule for YouTube. I planned, committed, and aimed to show up for myself and my audience. But as it turned out, the universe had different plans.

What I hadn’t anticipated was how forcing myself into a rigid framework could feel so misaligned. My authenticity isn't something I can compromise, even in the name of progress or visibility. Chasing clout, pushing content just for the sake of being seen—it goes against every intuitive fiber in me. I can’t force myself to create when my being cries out for rest, to purge what no longer serves, to recharge. The cyclical nature of my creativity aligns with the natural flow of my female essence. There are times for action and times for pause, and trying to override that rhythm felt unnatural.

The effort to stay consistent and push out content when I wasn’t truly connected to it only led to a deeper realization. There’s a delicate balance between discipline and honoring your own cycles. I had tried to meet that balance through a schedule, but the attempt became a lesson. It reminded me that while strategy is important, it is equally vital to trust the greater flow guiding me. Forcing the process won't summon the genuine spark that makes the work worth doing, nor does it yield the type of energy that resonates with others. And so, the universe reminded me that no amount of planning can overpower the inner call to step back and align myself before moving forward.

There was a post on Threads that I came across yesterday that really put this into perspective for me, so I will share it here: "It's such a disservice to women that the only popular books about how to be successful are written by men with insane daily routines and toxic masculinity. These books and ways of being DO NOT apply to women. Men operate on a 24-hr cycle, while women operate on both a 24-hr AND 28-day cycle. Women are meant to view life through their cycle and energy fluctuations. This is where we find our success—by being in tune with our cycle, hormones, body, womb, and emotions." - @theascensionqueen

In the upcoming week of the 4th-11th, I have deciphered a series of symbols that, when interpreted individually and then viewed collectively, begin to form a narrative.

This week holds an undercurrent that calls for authentic expression and clear communication. There is a strong emphasis on the power of words and how they can create or dismantle connections. This period highlights the necessity of speaking one’s truth without hesitation, finding the balance between vulnerability and assertion. Emotions may fluctuate, revealing the dual nature of light and shadow within the self. Navigating this contrast is essential, as it encourages deep introspection and acceptance of all facets of the human experience.

The energy invites a sense of alignment, not just with oneself but with others, urging a recognition of shared understanding and moments of profound connection. It’s a time to ground oneself, to seek stability amidst any emotional turbulence. The themes of nurturing and protection come into focus, suggesting that tending to both the self and those around you is a key part of maintaining harmony. There is a call to recognize what leaves a lasting impact, both in action and thought. This is a period where one's choices resonate beyond the immediate moment, imprinting their significance into personal and collective memory.

Wisdom and transformation are central, pulling from the depths of what is hidden and often overlooked. This is a moment to tap into the unknown, drawing on lessons learned and inner strength to guide the way forward. Change becomes an invitation rather than a disruption, urging renewal and a reevaluation of what is truly valuable.

There is an underlying sense of surprise in the air, a reminder that not everything can be predicted or controlled. This energy brings an element of sudden realization, challenging rigidity and prompting a shift in direction when least expected. The push for innovation and breaking from the familiar is strong, with an emphasis on embracing what may seem unconventional or rebellious.

Steadiness and ambition surface as essential traits, pressing for patience and strategic steps toward long-term goals. There is a recognition that true progress requires effort and discipline. Yet, amidst this push for achievement, a reminder emerges that one’s worth is not tied to accomplishments but to their intrinsic value as a person.

Creativity and communication blend, highlighting the importance of dialogue, collaboration, and the power that comes from shared ideas. The flow of energy encourages looking beyond surface-level interactions, delving into deeper exchanges that reveal hidden truths and offer clarity. There is a sense of receiving guidance—not just from logic or external sources, but from an intuitive place that feels ancient and wise.

This week calls for a synthesis of grounded introspection, transformative thought, and readiness for the unexpected. It asks for resilience, encouraging an openness to change while holding fast to a deep sense of self. The overarching narrative points to growth through the balance of stillness and movement, wisdom and adaptability, truth and the willingness to embrace new paths.

Lunar Guidance: 10/28-11/4/2024

Whoops! Looks like I forgot that I was issuing these forecasts on Sundays, but I think it works better for my schedule to just keep doing them on Mondays. So, that's what I'll do!

In the upcoming week of the 28th-4th, I have deciphered a series of symbols that, when interpreted individually and then viewed collectively, begin to form a narrative.

Eihwaz (ᛇ): Eihwaz represents resilience, grounded strength, and transformation born from challenge. Like the enduring yew tree, it indicates that a core part of you is ready to surface and undergo a necessary transformation. This is not a shift of fleeting energy but one rooted in something deeply personal, set to leave a lasting mark on your path.

Number 6: The energy of six is about stability, balance, and supportive relationships. This week, it suggests grounding yourself by focusing on areas that bring harmony—be it family, friendships, or responsibilities that anchor you. This stable foundation will make it easier to welcome and process upcoming changes with clarity.

Number 11: This is a number of heightened awareness and intuition, signaling that this week may bring a revealing insight or hidden knowledge to light. There’s a sense that you’re standing on the verge of greater understanding—whether through a sudden realization, an intuitive leap, or a situation that makes previously unseen patterns clear.

Mars and Scorpio: Mars in Scorpio brings an intense and focused energy that pushes you to confront and transform. There’s a calling to delve into unresolved or hidden aspects of yourself, unearthing what’s been overlooked. The power here lies in acting decisively to face these depths with courage, whether addressing old wounds, power dynamics, or truths long left unspoken.

Dreams Become Reality: This suggests that ideas or visions you’ve nurtured are beginning to take form in your outer world. The message here is about the tangible manifestation of desires, whether that’s through creative projects, personal goals, or something you’ve been quietly hoping for. These seeds, once abstract, are now sprouting in real and visible ways.

Patience with Spiral: The spiral represents growth in cycles, encouraging patience as things develop at their own pace. This is a reminder to resist the urge to rush and instead honor the unfolding process. You’re in the midst of something that requires time to fully mature; trust the rhythm of it, and don’t force a conclusion prematurely.

White Hart: The white hart, a mystical symbol, suggests a noble pursuit or spiritual quest—something elusive yet deeply resonant. It’s a call to seek out what feels rare and valuable, to follow what may be calling to your soul. This could be an ideal, an insight, or a path that inspires and propels you toward a profound purpose.

Bold (Mars symbol in the “O”): This indicates the need for assertive and courageous action, as represented by Mars. There’s energy here to take decisive steps—perhaps in a situation where you feel called to step up or take a risk. It’s a reminder to let go of hesitation and embrace your full strength.

Worthiness (with a present symbol): Worthiness points to a gift or acknowledgment, either from within yourself or from others. It’s a sign that you’re ready to receive the rewards of your journey or hard work. This is not only about external validation but an internal alignment, where you recognize your value and are open to the gifts that recognition brings.

Completion: Completion indicates a closing chapter or the fulfillment of a long-standing goal. Something significant is coming to an end, and there’s a sense of satisfaction and resolution as you let go of what’s finished. This frees you up to focus on new horizons, unburdened by past efforts.

You Didn’t See Coming: This suggests an unexpected development or realization that will reshape your perspective. The message here is that while you may feel prepared, life still holds surprises that challenge your expectations and assumptions, propelling you into new understanding or action.

Together, these symbols form a week of deep, transformative energy that calls for patience, clarity, and bold action. Hidden aspects are surfacing, desires are manifesting, and you’re being led to embrace strength and worthiness as you close one chapter and open another—while also remaining open to the unexpected. This is about fully stepping into your power and aligning with what’s been quietly building within, ready to emerge into reality.
