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.

Video Transcription:

"The Wheel of Fortune symbolizes the cycles of life—fortune and misfortune, rise and fall. It is tied to the Hebrew letter Kaph, meaning "hand," which represents grasping—our ability to mentally comprehend and navigate life's patterns. The alchemical symbols of mercury, sulfur, and salt on the wheel stand for the mind, passion, and inertia, reflecting the different energies that shape our experiences. Atop the wheel sits a sphinx, representing the higher self, remaining still while the wheel turns, reminding us to find our center amid life’s changes. Surrounding the wheel are the fixed signs of the zodiac, signifying stability even as life's events rotate. The letters “TARO” inscribed on the wheel can be arranged to form the phrase "The Wheel of Tarot speaks the Law of Nature," hinting at the deeper cosmic forces at play. Ultimately, this card teaches that life’s apparent randomness is actually the result of deeper, unchanging laws of cause and effect."

Lunar Guidance: 10/21-10/26

In the upcoming week of the 21st-26th, I have deciphered a series of symbols that, when interpreted individually and then viewed collectively, begin to form a narrative.

The crate represents a decision, an opportunity, or latent potential that is about to present itself. It may be related to something you’ve been waiting on—a project, a personal matter, or a chance to explore something new. The key is that this opportunity, this ability, is still sealed, and you may feel the pull to open it before you’re fully prepared. As the well-known saying reminds us, "The day you plant the seed is not the day you eat the fruit," it's important to practice patience, postpone immediate satisfaction, and avoid harvesting the fruit before it's fully matured. That said, the messages suggest that the harvest is approaching and could "crop up" quite suddenly.

Real-world examples could be a sudden job offer, a relationship conversation, or an invitation that seems to come out of nowhere.

The puzzle indicates that there will be situations requiring you to piece together information from various sources. You may find yourself connecting the dots in a conversation or in a situation where the truth isn’t immediately obvious. Pay attention to the nuances and what is left unsaid—look for the subtle details and interpret their underlying meaning. You might be solving something in your personal life, like understanding someone’s behavior, or uncovering hidden motives in a work scenario.

The hammer suggests that you will need to make a bold move this week. Whether it's in asserting your boundaries, starting a new project, or finally addressing a long-ignored issue, you will have the energy and decisiveness to break through any hesitation, to "hit the nail on the head." This could manifest as speaking up in a meeting, making a major purchase, or cutting ties with something or someone that no longer benefits you.

On the coast, something long buried might resurface (crate). Old memories, past relationships, or unresolved emotional issues may come back to your awareness, not to haunt you, but to be dealt with once and for all. This could be an ex contacting you unexpectedly or an issue from the past showing up in a new form, giving you a second chance to handle it differently. Stay grounded and let the tide bring in what it needs to.

The brain’s ability to undergo neuroplasticity, adapt, and form new patterns suggests a form of personal evolution, just as opening the crate suggests something new or transformational is emerging. The memories could also symbolize new parts of yourself or areas of potential growth, much like how the crate holds an unseen opportunity.

The shrimp symbolizes small but important matters that will need your attention. You may be focused on big tasks, but something seemingly insignificant could be the key to progress. This might show up as a minor detail in a contract or a small gesture from someone that carries more weight than it initially appears. Don’t dismiss the little things—they may hold the bigger lesson or solution.

To elaborate, the shrimp, living in a delicate environment, symbolize the seemingly minor but crucial aspects of our lives and bodies. In human physiology, it mirrors how small, unnoticed processes—like hormone regulation or neurotransmitter balance—play a vital role in maintaining overall well-being and homeostasis. Likewise, in the realms of psychological and spiritual development, it is frequently the minor, persistent thoughts, habits, or slight emotional changes that hold the most significant potential for transformation, or alternatively, for stagnation.

Just as the shrimp maintains balance in its ecosystem, paying attention to these subtle cues can lead to greater harmony in our lives. Whether it’s a fleeting emotion, a minor decision, or a small detail in our routine, these "small" things can have profound impacts, much like how tiny physiological shifts affect our overall health. The shrimp reminds us not to dismiss the little things, as they may hold the key to larger progress and growth.

The small things are the BIG things. We're all ripplers.

The lantern illumines areas that have been in shadow. If you’ve been confused or uncertain about something, clarity is coming. Expect a conversation, a dream, or a sudden realization that shines a light on what was previously unclear. This could be a revelation about someone’s true intentions or clarity in your own path forward, especially if you’ve been unsure which direction to take.

We're reaching another boiling point. With this energetic storm, there’s potential for conflict or a disruption, but this is a clearing force. If tensions have been brewing—at work, in your relationships, or even within yourself—the storm may be a confrontation or event that releases the pressure. A heated argument, a sudden change of plans, or an emotional outburst could happen, but it will lead to clarity and movement once the storm passes.

Walking across the gravel, you’ll encounter small discomforts this week—those little things that irritate you but are ultimately manageable. Whether it's a series of minor setbacks or physical discomfort, you’ll be able to keep moving through them. The discomfort is temporary, but it reminds you to stay flexible and not let these small challenges weigh you down.


Event Horizon

The chart is incomplete, symbolizing that not everything is planned out yet. You may find yourself navigating without a clear roadmap, which could feel unsettling. Trust that your intuition will guide you, even if the full picture isn’t available yet. In a real-world scenario, this might mean working without all the facts or having to make decisions with limited information. Keep moving forward, even if things are uncertain.


The Matrix Revolutions

"The subconscious mind is a distinct entity. It occupies the whole human body, and, when not opposed in any way, it has absolute control over all the functions, conditions, and sensations of the body. While the objective (conscious) mind has control over all of our voluntary functions and motions, the subconscious mind controls all of the silent, involuntary, and vegetative functions. Nutrition, waste, all secretions and excretions, the action of the heart in the circulation of the blood, the lungs in respiration or breathing, and all cell life, cell changes and development, are positively under the complete control of the subconscious mind. This was the only mind animals had before the evolution of the brain; and it could not, nor can it yet, reason inductively, but its power of deductive reasoning is perfect. And more, it can see without the use of physical eyes. It perceives by intuition. It has the power to communicate with others without the aid of ordinary physical means. It can read the thoughts of others. It receives intelligence and transmits it to people at a distance. Distance offers no resistance against the successful missions of the subconscious mind. It never dies. We call this the 'soul mind.' It is the living soul." - Robert Collier

The spike of energy this week could come in the form of a sudden burst of motivation or unexpected news. You may find yourself energized to complete tasks you’ve been putting off, or an unexpected event could demand your full attention. This could manifest as a breakthrough moment, where everything clicks into place, or as an urgent situation that requires swift action.

Read the room: Listen for the melody around you. This might not be literal music but rather the harmony or discord in the energy surrounding you. Pay attention to your environment and the people around you. Are they in sync with you, or is there tension? This week could bring a meeting or a conversation that either feels like it’s flowing naturally or one where you recognize discord. Your ability to harmonize with the energy around you will make all the difference.

You’ve been building something, and the brick represents the stability of your efforts. This could relate to something you’ve been working on—your career, personal development, or relationships. The foundation is strong, and this week may reveal the results of your efforts. You might see recognition for your work or feel a renewed sense of stability in an important area of your life.

The shelf represents what you’re showing the world versus what you’re keeping hidden. You might find yourself questioning what you’ve put on display for others. This could be a time to re-evaluate how you present yourself, whether that’s through social media, at work, or in personal interactions. Are you being authentic or performative? Are there parts of yourself that you’re holding back that are truly worthy of display?

A token may come in the form of a small gesture or a symbolic gift this week. Someone might offer a sign of appreciation, or you could receive a subtle message that confirms a direction you’re considering. This token could be literal, like a small gift, or symbolic, like an encouraging word or a chance encounter.

The cable is an energetic connection that remains unseen but felt. You might experience strong telepathic or intuitive links with someone this week. Sometimes, during a conversation, it may seem as if the other person is voicing your very thoughts, or you might feel someone's presence even when they are not around—only to receive a message from them soon after. This could also mean maintaining a connection with someone far away, a reminder that time and distance doesn’t sever certain bonds.

The fence suggests boundaries—ones you’ve set or ones you need to re-evaluate. Are you letting people in too easily, or have you closed yourself off in certain areas? (Or maybe you're letting the wrong ones in and the right ones out.) This week will give you a chance to assess where your boundaries need to be strengthened or relaxed. You may find yourself confronting someone who pushes those limits, or you might be the one rethinking how open you want to be.

The drawer reveals something you’ve shelved for later—an idea, a memory, or a plan. It’s time to pull it out and take another look. This could be an old project you’ve put on hold or a personal goal you’ve been avoiding. The energy this week is supportive of revisiting these things and deciding whether they still serve you or if it’s time to let them go for good.

With the badge, there’s recognition. This could be internal—acknowledging your own strength and resilience—or external, where others see and appreciate what you’ve been through. It’s a reminder that you’ve earned where you are through effort, persistence, and perhaps hardship. This week, you might find yourself being acknowledged in a way that feels overdue, whether in a professional or personal setting.

The breeze is a light shift, one that is barely noticeable but important. You might receive subtle cues this week that a situation is changing—whispers of a new opportunity, a chance encounter, or a sudden shift in someone’s behavior. Once again, pay attention to the little things, as they will signal larger changes to come.

The torch (sime torch is calling you to act. In real terms, this could mean taking the initiative in a situation whilar to the lantern) is in your hands, symbolizing your power to take control. Whether you’re stepping up to lead, making a decision you’ve been hesitant about, or lighting the way for others, the energy of there others are hesitant or finally starting something you’ve been thinking about for a long time.

The butterfly reminds you that transformation is imminent, and it’s one that affects both your inner world and your external circumstances. Your neuroplasticity is enhancing this shift, enabling you to adapt quickly to new situations. This might involve adopting a new mindset, rethinking old habits, or embracing a more flexible approach to life.

The idea of something emerging from the crate mirrors the transformative energy of the butterfly and the adaptability signified by neuroplasticity. Just as the crate holds a latent opportunity, the butterfly speaks to the inevitable transformation that occurs when potential is unlocked. It’s as though you are on the brink of something emerging that will reshape the way you see yourself or your path.

The Pisces eclipse with the North Node acted as a guiding light, pulling you toward a more intuitive and emotionally resonant future, much like the lantern, the torch, or the butterfly—all symbols of guidance and transformation. This moment is about moving forward, following a path of emotional depth and insight, and it relates to opening the crate of potential within yourself. The energy of Pisces and the North Node encouraged you to trust your instincts and embrace the unfolding of your personal evolution.

Meanwhile, the Libra Solar Eclipse with the South Node reflected the need for release, especially in relationships or areas where you’ve been holding on to patterns that no longer work for you. This parallels the symbolic themes of the fence and boundaries, prompting you to assess where adjustments are necessary. It’s about understanding where balance has been off and what needs to be let go in order to move forward. The shrimp, representing small but significant shifts, could be linked to recognizing those subtle but important imbalances in your connections with others and yourself.

These two eclipses work together—Pisces/North Node pushing you toward intuitive growth and emotional fulfillment, and Libra/South Node helping you shed old patterns, particularly in relationships, to restore balance. The energy of transformation (represented by the butterfly and the crate) is both a calling and a clearing, preparing you to step into a future that resonates with your highest potential.

Even though it's now the 21st of October and some time has passed since the eclipses, their energies are still unfolding and influencing us, as the shifts they initiated—particularly around emotional clarity and relationship patterns—continue to ripple through our lives.

The number 4 offers stability, assuring you that as things shift, you are supported by a solid foundation. In practical terms, this might show up as financial opportunities or breakthroughs, indicated by Financial Freedom, that give you a sense of liberation you didn’t see coming. This freedom, combined with the surprise element of something you didn’t see coming, might lead to new pathways (neuroplasticity, torchbearer as trailblazer and wayshower) or partnerships that catch you off guard, for the better.

An imprint is left by this time—something about this week will leave a lasting mark. Whether it's an emotional experience or a significant realization, it will influence the way you move forward. The adrenaline and power symbols indicate that things will speed up, perhaps propelling you into action faster than expected. This week, you will find yourself in a heightened state of awareness, feeling empowered and ready to take on what’s coming.

The Yes! moment suggests a door (or the 'crate') is opening, something you’ve been waiting for or contemplating is finally aligning. You might receive a long-awaited confirmation or get the push you need to take the leap.

Being Open to Receive is key. Be ready to welcome what comes with an open heart.

The spike of adrenaline and the Yes! represent the breakthrough energy—where the pieces of the puzzle finally fall into place. This surge of energy propels you forward, amplifying the momentum created by the small but important movements in your life. As you move forward, holding the torch in your hands, you become the active participant in this process, ready to embrace both the unexpected and the long-anticipated changes ahead. 

This week's themes:

- Unseen Potential and Latent Opportunity: Both the crate and the butterfly symbolize hidden or emerging potential, with the crate representing something sealed or yet to be realized and the butterfly signaling transformation. This suggests that something significant is on the verge of manifesting but hasn't fully emerged yet. These symbols carry the energetic resonance of Uranus and Jupiter.

- Patience and Timing: There's an emphasis on waiting for the right moment (e.g., "the day you plant the seed is not the day you eat the fruit"), indicating that even though opportunity is very near, rushing the process could be detrimental. This message recurs with themes of gradual revelation and the crate remaining closed until you're fully prepared. These symbols carry the energetic resonance of Saturn.

- Subtle Details Carrying Larger Significance: The shrimp and the gravel symbolize small but crucial matters that, though they seem minor at first glance, hold greater meaning or influence. There is a call to pay attention to details and nuances, suggesting that these smaller elements will lead to significant progress or insights. These symbols carry the energetic resonance of Mercury.

- Revelation and Clarity: The lantern, the torch, and the upcoming storm all point to an illuminating force that brings clarity, even after discomfort or tension. Whether through a sudden realization or confrontation, clarity is a central theme. These symbols indicate that confusion will give way to understanding, guiding the path forward. These symbols carry the energetic resonance of the Sun.

- Action and Boundaries: The hammer, the fence, and the torch emphasize taking action and assessing boundaries. They highlight the need for decisive movement—whether that’s asserting oneself, reevaluating relationships, or setting limits. The repetition of these symbols suggests a need for empowerment, reinforcing personal boundaries while making bold decisions. These symbols carry the energetic resonance of Aries and Mars.

- Hidden and Shelved Matters Resurfacing: The drawer and the crate represent something stored away, whether ideas, memories, or opportunities, and suggest that now is the time to revisit them. Along with the coastal imagery of something buried resurfacing, this implies that past issues or long-forgotten ambitions may come back for closure or further exploration. These symbols carry the energetic resonance of Pluto.

- Transformation and Growth: The butterfly, neuroplasticity, and the crate all point to personal evolution and transformation. Together, they represent both the mental adaptability required to face change and the external shifts that accompany growth, as potential is unlocked. These symbols carry the energetic resonance of Uranus (The Fool) and Saturn (The World).

- Interconnectedness and Energetic Ties: The cable and the breeze highlight unseen but felt connections, suggesting that intuition and energetic bonds will play a significant role in your week. These symbols echo a theme of invisible forces or relationships influencing events. These symbols carry the energetic resonance of the Moon and of Saturn.

- Balancing Relationships and Boundaries: The Libra Solar Eclipse symbolism, the fence, and the shrimp bring attention to rebalancing relationships and reassessing boundaries. This is about letting go of patterns that no longer serve, especially in relationships, and fine-tuning the balance between openness and protection. These themes carry the energetic resonance of Libra, Venus, Neptune, and Saturn.

- Energetic Movement and Breakthroughs: The Yes! moment, adrenaline spike, and the hammer symbolize moments of intense energy or motivation, representing breakthroughs. They suggest that after building momentum, you are on the cusp of significant action or change that propels you forward, amplifying previous efforts. These themes carry the energetic resonance of Mars.

Announcement

 

Starting this week, I'm committing to a regular video posting schedule on the YouTube Channel. You can expect two longer videos each week, dropping on Wednesdays and Fridays, along with around three shorts sprinkled throughout the week. 

Additionally, the Daily Lunar Guidance, which I previously posted on Instagram and on this blog, will now transition into Weekly Lunar Guidance, posted here every Sunday. This shift will allow me to dive deeper into each week’s energy and offer more insightful reflections. 

Lately, I’ve been learning a ton about new tools for animation and video generation, honing my prompting skills, and experimenting with exciting techniques. It’s been an incredible experience, and I can’t wait to apply these new abilities to future content—lots of fun things on the way!

On a different note, as of October 18th, my X (Twitter) account is set to followers-only mode due to recent platform changes that I strongly disagree with. This shift has caused some broken links on this blog, but I’ll also be working to fix those all week. So, if you encounter some previous blog posts with links and videos that are currently inaccessible, this is why—they will soon be corrected.

Video: The Fae

Video Transcription:

"The fae, often romanticized as nature spirits or fairies, are far more intricate than popular myth suggests. In their true essence, they represent primordial forces that operate beyond human perception, weaving the subtle fabric of nature and reality. Unlike mere folklore entities, the fae are interdimensional beings, manifesting in both energetic and symbolic forms, acting as the hidden currents behind natural phenomena.

Their origins stem from pre-human intelligences, entities that were never confined to the physical realm as humans are. They exist in the etheric layers, just beneath the surface of material existence, where the flow of elemental forces—earth, air, fire, and water—converges. The fae are custodians of these forces, regulating the balance between the spiritual and material, ensuring that life’s processes unfold in alignment with cosmic order. They are neither benevolent nor malevolent in human terms, but rather operate according to laws far older than morality.

In their truest form, fae are not the diminutive, whimsical beings portrayed in folklore. Their manifestations can be elusive, shifting in appearance to mirror the psyche of the observer or the environment in which they reside. To those sensitive enough to perceive them, they might appear as shimmering lights, shadows that dance at the edge of vision, or even distortions in the natural world, like the sudden stillness of wind or an inexplicable shift in temperature.

These beings do not adhere to linear time as we know it. The fae exist in a simultaneity of past, present, and future, engaging with the human realm when the conditions—astrological, elemental, or emotional—permit the thinning of veils between dimensions. In such moments, their presence can be felt as a surge of otherworldly energy or as sudden, uncanny synchronicities in nature.

True interactions with the fae are often initiations into deeper mysteries. Those who encounter them frequently experience psychic shifts or awakenings, as the fae serve as gatekeepers to the unseen realms. However, these encounters require caution. The fae are known to bend perception, leading one into altered states of consciousness where time may stretch or compress, and reality itself can become fluid. Their gifts—if given—carry hidden consequences, as their nature is bound to the principle of balance; nothing is offered without a corresponding exchange.

In some traditions, the fae are seen as echoes of the ancient gods, entities that have withdrawn from direct interaction with humanity, residing instead in realms parallel to our own. These realms, often referred to as Faeryland, are not mere physical places but vibrational zones where the laws of physics and reality bend. Entry into these realms is often symbolic of crossing thresholds—both literal and spiritual—such as twilight, crossroads, or liminal spaces between life and death.

Thus, the fae are more than the sum of their mythic parts. They are manifestations of nature’s hidden intelligence, deeply tied to the cycles of growth, decay, and rebirth. To understand the fae is to recognize the living consciousness within the natural world, an intelligence that is ancient, vast, and operating in dimensions largely inaccessible to the rational mind."

Lunar Guidance: 10/15/2024

Author's Note: These messages are evergreen. No doubt you've heard this all before (and far too often, if I'm being honest), but it's a point worth reiterating here. Whenever you come across these messages, they're relevant or will soon become relevant. I will even venture to say that every reading you come across directly applies to you in some way, even those readings you might give for others. This is true even when it doesn't "resonate." Everything, no matter how unsavory, that enters into your sphere of awareness is relevant to you in some way (even if you never come to comprehend why) and on some levelotherwise it would never have come into your conscious awareness or lived experience at all. It just might not be relevant in terms of the lens you're viewing it through at the moment. But that doesn’t mean it lacks relevance altogether.



At the center of the message lies a moment of quiet stillness, a freezing of time, like the rune Isa, where movement halts, creating space for reflection. Around this stillness, there is a force building, a radical shift represented by Uranus. This energy is chaotic but also liberating, disrupting old patterns and moving towards new realms of possibility, much like the duality inherent in Gemini—the twins, two sides of one whole, always in conversation with one another.

The number two signifies this balance, the point where opposites come together and where choices must be made. It's a mirror of reflection, a dance between partnership and opposition. The season of Fall comes in as a time of transition, a shedding of what is no longer needed, a necessary preparation for what lies ahead.

These dueling energies also reveal how easily perception can be swayed, particularly when fear and pain are amplified. There is a veil that has been cast, one that many choose to accept because it is more comfortable than facing the raw, unsettling truth. There seems to be an ever-widening divide between those who seek to awaken and those who remain bound by the illusions.

You are being called to see through the distortion, to recognize that what is presented on the surface is often a mask. There is a need for discernment, a courage to face the darkness and to question the narratives that have been placed before you. Trust the deeper knowing, the inner voice that sees beyond the immediate. Only through this can the real truth be uncovered, and the veil of illusion lifted. This is not just about the facts, but about the spiritual journey of seeking clarity in a world that often thrives on confusion.

The Unicorn appears as a beacon of purity and rare possibility. It whispers that the impossible can become real (the occult may become manifest), but only if you are willing to believe in the unseen—in the Invisible Self. This belief in the magical brings the notion of freedom, an expansive space, but it is freedom tempered by responsibility. The snail is a reminder to move slowly, deliberately, and without rushing ahead. When we harness our one-pointedness, progress—even slow progress—is still progress. Trust in the spiral, in the Law of Rotation, is paramount.

The word “Yes!” reverberates like a universal confirmation, an affirmation that the answers you seek are already within you, waiting to be unlocked. Make a wish, and let that wish serve as a seed of potential, knowing that enigmas—the things you cannot yet understand—are part of the beauty. Not all mysteries are meant to be solved instantly.

The Dollhouse hints at something small and intricate, a constructed reality that feels safe but perhaps too controlled. It asks you to examine the structures you’ve built, and whether they are confining your spirit. 

"You Matter" radiates with the magnet’s pull, reminding you of the cosmic Law of Attraction (the Law of Mirroring). What you put out into the world returns to you in kind. "On My Wavelength" brings harmony, an alignment of energies, where you will find your people, those who truly resonate with your frequency. 

Lastly, "You Are Enough!" wraps the message in an embrace of worthiness. There is no need for external validation or change—everything you need is within, and the magnet represents the undeniable pull of your energy. 

Synthesized message:

There is a (pregnant) pause, a moment where time freezes, and in that silence, a transformation begins. The old falls away, revealing truths you have avoided but must now face. What you seek is not hidden, though the path to it may seem shrouded in mystery. Trust the light that guides you in the darkest moments, for it is only in those depths that you will find the keys to your own freedom. Slow down—each step matters, even the ones that feel like they lead nowhere. You are not lost. The forces aligning around you are preparing for a greater shift, one that requires belief in the unmanifest and faith in the unfolding enigma. You are enough, and your energy draws to you all that you need. There is a great magnetism in your presence, pulling the right energies, people, and opportunities into your orbit. Know that you are being guided, not just by forces outside of you, but by the wisdom you carry within. Now is the time to acknowledge your worth and trust the connection you feel.

Unfolding layers of hidden truths, with slow but steady progress, and the need for self-trust. The energy of change is looming, but patience is required to fully integrate and navigate the forces at play. There are subtle deceptions or illusions that need to be cleared, especially concerning outward appearances or constructed realities.

Video Transcription:

"The Hermit card in Tarot represents introspection, inner wisdom, and solitude. It’s about stepping away from the external world to find truth and guidance within yourself. The figure of the Hermit carries a lantern, symbolizing the light of inner wisdom that illuminates the path for both himself and others. Often associated with Virgo and the Hebrew letter Yod, this card embodies the quiet process of self-discovery and spiritual growth.

Saturn, sometimes linked to The Hermit, brings a deeper layer of understanding. Saturn is known for its restricting and isolating energy, but this is not a punishment. Instead, these limitations encourage us to turn inward. By isolating us from distractions, Saturn's influence allows for deep reflection, forcing us to cultivate our spiritual gifts and understand our life's purpose. This period of restriction offers the opportunity for profound inner work, fostering growth that can only come through such introspection and seclusion."

Lunar Guidance: 10/13/2024

You are standing at the intersection of desire and restraint, and the key is in knowing when to act and when to allow things to unfold naturally. A dynamic equilibrium is at play, urging you to listen closely to the quiet guidance that lies beneath the surface before stepping fully into your power.

There is a surge of energy and strength asking to be channeled with precision and intent. Passion and drive are heightened, but they require a guiding force, a steady hand that knows when to strike and when to hold back. You are being called to face the things that may have held you back before, and the fire that rises within is both a transformative tool and a catalyst for growth. This moment is about harnessing that inner fire and directing it towards your deepest desires, but not in a way that burns out quickly—rather, in a sustained, controlled burn that lights the way forward.


I'm your Venus, I'm your Fire, your Desire

Emotional depth and creativity are flowing strongly through you. The waters of your inner world are rich with potential, and imagination plays a crucial role in shaping your reality. There is a deep connection to the heart and emotions, suggesting that your dreams and desires are not only valid but essential to your personal evolution. Your emotional intelligence and capacity to nurture these dreams will play a key role in their manifestation. There’s a strong feminine energy, intuitive and compassionate, that guides you through these waters, urging you to embrace both your emotions and your creative vision.

Communication and expression are vital. There’s a message here about the importance of speaking up, of using your voice to bring your ideas and desires into the world. Whether through conversations with others or self-expression through your talents, the act of speaking your truth is directly linked to the opportunities that are coming your way. The words you use now carry weight, and they have the power to set off a chain reaction, where one step leads naturally to the next, creating a domino effect that opens up new possibilities.

Innovation and bold thinking are key to unlocking these possibilities. You are being asked to step outside the boundaries of what has been done before, to approach situations with fresh eyes and an open mind. This is not a time for playing small; rather, it's about confidently stepping into your talents and embracing your unique gifts. The validation you seek will come, but only after you trust yourself enough to take that leap. Your ideas and creativity hold the potential to inspire not only yourself but those around you.

The message here is also about reciprocity—the give and take in relationships, both personal and professional. As you move forward, consider the balance between what you offer and what you receive. There's an interplay between action and rest, giving and receiving, that is crucial now. The energy you put out will come back to you in equal measure, so approach your connections with authenticity and openness, trusting that what you need will be returned to you in kind.

As you navigate this period of growth and movement, remember that you are in the midst of a larger cosmic unfolding. The steps you take now are part of a greater chain of events that will continue to ripple outward, affecting not only your path but the paths of those connected to you. There’s a sense of divine timing at play, and while you may be called to act boldly, there’s also an understanding that everything is aligning as it should. Trust in your ability to navigate both the fire and the water within you, and know that your dreams are well within reach.

There’s a sense of deep-rooted stability that is starting to surface, built from the groundwork you’ve been laying over time. The natural world and your connection to it play a significant role in your growth right now, reminding you that your path is grounded, steady, and in sync with forces greater than yourself. There is a rising energy—a quiet momentum urging you upward, encouraging your personal expansion.

Your emotions are moving through you like currents, guiding your next steps. These emotional waves aren’t something to be ignored, for within them lies a deeper truth about your journey. Investigating the feelings and patterns that emerge will provide insights that push you further along the path. There’s a quiet, introspective moment here, one where self-awareness is key. As you reflect, answers will begin to emerge, clarifying not just your direction, but the strength that lies beneath it.

The energy of manifestation is potent now. The work you’ve put in is starting to show results. The symbolic movement toward something greater is undeniable. The invisible threads that connect you to your desires are strengthening, pulling your goals into view. There’s an alignment happening, a natural magnetic pull that’s drawing opportunities toward you without the need for force or struggle.

Within this space, there’s a reminder of connection—whether it’s familial ties, close bonds with friends, or the connections you’ve forged over time. These relationships, built on mutual respect and shared experiences, are playing a supportive role in your current phase. The exchange of ideas and the silent understanding between these bonds offer you grounding and insight. Pay attention to these interactions, for they carry wisdom that helps guide you forward.

A powerful, upward force is emerging. It’s as if the world around you is supporting your rise, urging you to step into your full potential. There’s a clarity and strength in this movement—a sense of purpose that can’t be ignored. But even as this energy builds, there’s a protective element, a quiet nudge to be mindful of what or who you allow into your space. The magnetic force working in your favor draws many things to you, and with it comes the need for discernment. It’s important to recognize the energies that align with your goals and those that may pull you off course.

Ultimately, you’re at a powerful juncture where internal reflection meets external action. Emotions guide you deeper, uncovering truths that strengthen your resolve, while a steady upward motion propels you toward your goals.

Lunar Guidance: 10/11/2024

This moment is about embracing a new kind of motion—one that doesn’t just move you forward but opens you to the many paths and potentials that spiral out from where you stand. You are not confined by a single direction, but rather, invited to explore all the pathways available to you, each one filled with its own set of possibilities. The sense of duality you’re feeling is not something to resolve, but to integrate: hold the power of quick action in one hand, and deep inner trust in the other. You can move with purpose while still allowing space for curiosity and evolution.

The key to navigating this period lies in your ability to trust your instincts and redefine what action looks like. It’s not about aggressive or hurried movement, but about tapping into your inner knowing and taking steps from a place of full awareness. You’ve cultivated a strong sense of self, and this self-trust is your most valuable asset as you move through the possibilities before you.

There is a current of destiny moving through this time, but it’s not about passively allowing fate to carry you. Instead, it’s about actively engaging with the opportunities that present themselves, recognizing that while external forces may open doors, you are the one who decides how to walk through them. This is a powerful partnership between your will and the wider energies that are aligning around you.

Creativity and vision are crucial right now. Your ability to see beyond the ordinary and imagine new possibilities will be key in manifesting what you desire. Connections—whether with people, ideas, or energies—are instrumental in expanding your vision. Don’t hesitate to collaborate or seek advice, as others may offer perspectives that light the way forward.

Finally, understand that you are already in the process of attracting what you need. You are in the center of a vortex of energy that is gathering around you, pulling in the resources, people, and opportunities that align with your path. The shift you seek is already in motion, and your role is to recognize it, trust it, and take action from a place of inner certainty. You are not chasing dreams—they are gathering around you, waiting for you to step into them with confidence and openness.

Lunar Guidance: 10/10/2024

You are entering a period where both inner and outer forces are aligning to bring you toward your true path, but the journey will require both personal strength and collaboration. You’ve encountered resistance, but this is a time to rise above it, knowing that these challenges are forging a stronger sense of purpose within you. There is wisdom in both struggle and perseverance, and your courage is being shaped by the fires you have walked through.

Partnership and cooperation are key now—there are forces around you that, when harmonized, will push you further than you could go alone. While it may feel instinctual to go it alone, the energy of teamwork and collective wisdom will be a powerful asset. Reach out to those around you, particularly when the way forward seems unclear. The strength of community will carry you when your own reserves feel low, and in this balance, progress will accelerate.

You stand in a position of immense personal power, encouraged to step boldly into the light and embrace the unique gifts that you carry. The time has come to stop holding back—your ability to lead and inspire is at its peak, and there is no room for doubt now. While the world around you shifts, your confidence must remain steady, like the sun, unwavering in its brilliance.

However, even as you shine outwardly, the message of turning within is strong. This is a time of involution, a call to dive deep into your inner world, exploring the realms of self-awareness and personal transformation. As you venture inward, allow your mind to remain open and flexible, recognizing that your thoughts, beliefs, and mental patterns are malleable. Like clay, they can be reshaped to serve your highest purpose.

Abundance is flowing toward you, not just in material forms but in emotional and spiritual fulfillment. Stay open to receiving this prosperity, for it is your rightful inheritance. As you navigate this path, you will find a sense of belonging—whether within yourself, a community, or a larger purpose. The desire for connection and feeling at home is a crucial aspect of your growth now, reminding you that you are part of something greater.

Remember, your actions have a profound impact, even in ways that may not be immediately visible. Every step you take, every choice you make, ripples out into the world. You are creating a legacy, whether you realize it or not, and the time has come to align with the deeper truth of the impact you wish to leave behind.

Finally, the dreams you have nurtured are beginning to take form. The once-distant visions are manifesting, moving from concept into reality. Obstacles that have stood in your way are being removed—barriers are dissolving as the energy of Ganesha clears the path before you. Now is the time to rise, to step fully into your power, and to embrace the unfolding of your dreams with both trust and determination.

Trust your instincts, much like the wolf who knows when to act alone and when to call on the strength of the pack. Your intuition is guiding you in the right direction, and with every challenge you face, remember that you are brave—you are more than capable of navigating this journey. Keep your eyes forward, your spirit strong, and know that everything you’ve been working toward is within reach.

Whether through actual travel or the journey of the mind and spirit, this phase is about expanding your worldview, seeking knowledge, and moving swiftly toward growth.
