I love you but you can't come along for this ride

Full moon eclipse in Scorpio feels

May 05, 2023

What is it about separations that is so gut-wrenchingly hard? Leveling up, letting go, cutting ties with the old and what once was. What makes it so difficult to say goodbye and move on?

There has been deep parting and cord cutting and endings all around me and yet, I am still here, showing up, doing the work. The paths are emerging and they are new and unpaved, and although I may trip and stumble, I will put one foot in front of the other and begin a new journey.

Today, it’s raining and my heart is rejoicing. I love the rain. I love the rain so much. It bring me so much fulfillment, and release, and relaxation, and inner knowing. Rain brings me dreams, that offer clarity on the direction I am heading in as I continue to move towards my path in the dark, trusting the universe will always provide.

Sometimes, that inner knowing gets interrupted, by checking one’s phone constantly, by nourishing your body with sub-par fuel, by not offering yourself enough rest, and in these opportunities it is time to take a moment of pause, drop into your breathing, and see where you are at, inside, right now.

To those with ample air in our charts, grounding can be lifelong work of settling a busy, flurried nervous system and I can lean into plant allies to ensure I feel whole and protected. Now is a time of release, letting the walls down, and letting go, relinquishing the need to control what is not and accepting what is.

Now is the time to release old patterns that are no longer helpful and say yes to what is resonant, what feels like you now.

Now is the time to let go of anything that is holding you back, weighing you down, or feels burdensome. How does it feel? Do you feel lighter?

If I could practice one ritual consistently it would be one of self compassion. Holding hand over heart and acknowledging that I am here, right now, doing the absolute best I can with what I have.

Others are doing the same, and we can extend all the love we can share beyond the love we have for ourselves and there is still enough to go around.

The world is filled with moments of hope, moments of joy, moments of sadness, moments of rage and still, we can remain hopeful and loving that the world is still good. I believe in the good of the world, I believe in the good of humanity, I believe we all are love, and that love is meant to be shared. If you have not heard it today, give yourself a gentle squeeze or pat on the back, and remind yourself that you are love, that you love yourself first, and the only way to be a good love sharer is to ensure that you prioritize your own needs too.

This lunar eclipse in Scorpio tells us it’s time to let go out outdated stories that no longer serve us anymore and show up more whole and authentic for ourselves.

Written under a Taurus sun and a Libra moon, feeling deeply loved and seen by the universe.
