Hello cosmic cuties,
The bitch is back and on the other side of her exact Saturn return — well, the first one — and still in the midst of Saturn kicking my ass. With this everything about me is just a little different and this newsletter is no exception.
You’re now reading Cosmic Musings. Continue to expect personal reflections, spiritual forecasts and journal prompts just with more astrological infusion. Plus, a new section for paid readers, Magical Musings, where I will share tarot readings, resources on your aura, manifestation shenanigans and philosophical reflections.
Psstt…my business is also evolving in addition to birth chart readings, I’m also offering spiritual writing services to my fellow woo woo business owners.
my doctrine
the stars bring me peace in the way your scripture does. your prayers, your hymns. the promise of timing, perfectly suited to me soothes existential crises fueled by jealousy and doubt. the truth is, i can't tell if you astrology is real or if horoscopes are accurate. but i can say , the patterns in the cosmos bring me peace.
Cosmic forecast
This is a week of energetic shifts. With that comes discomfort, invigoration or equilibrium depending on your unique birth chart.
On Monday, Mars, the planet of action, entered motivating and altruistic Virgo. This fiery planet will live in grounded Virgo until the end of August giving us time to find motivation in this sign’s energy of devotion.
This is the time to commit to yourself and establish routines that fuel your dreams. Mars in Virgo is fertile ground for creating your ideal self. Don’t get hung up on perfectionism or nit picking yourself — this is the shadow side of Virgo energy — instead nurture yourself and dreams.
Yesterday, the planet of communication and thinking, Mercury, entered confident and expressive Leo — it will stay here until the end of the month. This is the time to let yourself be heard. Embrace your creativity and find space where you can shine. If you've been waiting for a moment to be bold and put yourself out there, this is the time.
This Mars and Mercury combination is potent. In this moment you’ve been gifted motivating energy to chase your goals and the confidence to believe in them.
Today is a little heavy thanks to the Sun squaring Chiron. Chiron is known as the wounded healer. So, this tense aspect with the planet of our outward identity is forcing to examine our deep, personal wounds and transform.
Let the pull of the new Mars and Mercury energy guide you to healing.
Finally on Monday we have a new moon in Cancer. This new moon is fertile ground.
Cancer is the mother of the zodiac. Maternal, nurturing, fertile.
New moons are an abundance time to set intentions and plant new seeds.
Together, the universe is giving you the opportunity to transform your life. Be sure to create a vision built off the lessons our other transits brought you. Build your dream life or bust vibes.
To honor this new moon I’d recommend you:
Clean your home (Cancer loves their personal haven)
Thank the universe for everything you have while you clean (Gratitude goes far)
Journal out your dream home and life as if you already are living it (Cause it’s already yours)
Personal musings
Collectively we’re in a moment of reclaiming our authentic selves and aligning our lives with that person. It’s time to get clear on what this means.
In what ways do you prioritize yourself? How about on a daily basis?
What’s something the ideal version of you would do everyday? Why do they do it? What can you do daily that is similar to it?
Where in life do you know fully express yourself? Why? When did you start doing this? How does this harm you?
Is there a wound or insecurity that still haunts you from time to time? What is it? Why do you remember it? In what ways have you grown past it?
In your dream life how do you feel everyday? Why do you feel that way? Why don’t you feel that way now? How can you bring that energy into you current life?
Did you know you have a signature aura color? It’s true, and I can see it.
My first edition of Magical Musings breakdown the different aura colors and how this show’s up in your life.
