Into the eclipse portal we go. . .
Hello Abundant April,
Mercury Rx is here, and I finally am understanding how to navigate the energy with gentle ease. Opportunities are afloat and it is important to acknowledge what I do and do not want during this pivotal moment. One thing I want is to express deep gratitude to my friends who offer the reciprocity of appreciation for my words with a paid subscription. With this, I want to share an offering as the planet that rules three strong aspects of my core being is spinning backwards: I will be sharing one old post per week from my archives. These are tucked away, like a small bumble bee dozing off in a flower as I never hit publish. As my gratitude grows, I would like to include space for these words with you. As Mercury Rx timed so impeccably with the first day of the month, I will share a post a week starting today.
I encourage you to revisit what feels unfinished during this period of review and renewal.
So what does all this astrology stuff mean?
For those who are less familiar or less interested, we are in a pivotal time with major abrupt changes occuring to the way we operate and interact as humanity. Systems that are no longer serving society as a whole are falling apart and new pathways are emerging. If there is something you have always wanted to do and have never been brave enough to try it or, like me, you have failed* a couple of times then the energy of this year is really supportive to make a change towards what you deeply desire. This is a unique year, and we won’t have energy this potent for a while.
Maybe this year looks like unlearning the systems which have not been supportive and inviting in rest. Rest is not something to be discouraged and today, as I write I am taking a moment to pause and rest. My immune system wanes from exhaustion and I must bring all my energy back to center to focus on me. What does rest look like, feel like, taste like?
I have been quietly expanding my mind and consciousness while dreaming this wintertime. Summer will be for writing and finishing up the bare bones of an upcoming novel about my tumultuous youth. This year is for showing up for myself and making things move and flow in ways I could never imagine.
My offerings will be shifting once more as they tend to and, I am planting the seeds of the types of opportunities of exchange I wish to cultivate. My dormant goal to start a few gatherings in my area will emerge this springtime, and once again I am going to practice consistency.
As spring emerges, more soft than ever, remember that we are in a portal that can be violent in a sense of getting us on track. If you are off track, it may be amplified, and the collective grief and suffering is getting louder as it crescendo’s to an eventual fall. Tap into what feels good, stay home if you want to, and remember to always follow the muse.

I also want to thank all of you who have purchased my book! Seeing so many dear and far friends with my words in their hands is inexpicable.
