Cosmic Insights 🌟#31

Oct 31 - Nov 7 | Tired from the eclipse but still truckin'

If you have heavy fixed sign placements (Scorpio, Leo, Taurus, and Aquarius) then you are definitely aboard the struggle bus (as I am, a Scorpio rising and Aquarius stellium). Eclipse season has been rough on many of us. Unraveling and deconstructing elements around us is tiring. But, the good news is it’s over for a while (more on that below).

This week we have a lot of Venus transits, which I’m personally looking forward to. We’re met with the opportunity to view our routines and habits around creativity through a detail-oriented lens. So buckle up, and let’s dive into the week ahead with an open mind and an open heart!

Also, we’ve created a Facebook group for the Interstellar Harmony community! We're nurturing our vibrant community dedicated to exploring the profound world of Hellenistic astrology, tarot, alternative healing, and plant-based recipes. Here, we seek to align ourselves with nature's wisdom, promote holistic well-being, and optimize our mental health through practices that honor the world around us. The power of community is real, and we’re glad to make it more accessible through the Internet! Join here!

The star forecast 🌠

First off, let’s rejoice that eclipse season is over. Not that it’s always a tough time, but most of us have been going through lots of transformation. Between Samhain thinning the veil, losing precious light during the day, and big astrological transits - we’re all a bit tired. Eclipses often mark a period of transformation, transmutation, or rebirth - which is oftentimes it’s uncomfortable. We’ll start a new eclipse season in March of 2024, so until then, we can all rest a bit in that aspect. That doesn’t mean that we’re done growing or changing, just the unique challenges that eclipses bring will come to a sleepy point of rest until then.

• Nov 3 Sun opposes Jupiter & Venus opposes Uranus | This day in particular is one meant for self-care and to indulge in your space of fantasy. It’s especially helpful if your actions are bettering the parts of you that fuel your ego and make you feel beautiful. You might find an unconventional way to indulge in self-care. Or maybe, it’s taking a step in a direction that you’ve been dreaming of for a while but haven’t had the courage. Either way, what matters is the relationship you’re curating with yourself, and if you’re acting out of love for your future self. If you feel resistant to taking time for yourself, examine why that is. Are you embarrassed with what you crave? Does your relationship with your body need work? Do you feel comfortable caring for yourself around your partner? Sit with these sorts of reflections and adjust where needed. What matters during this transit, is that you’re loving the past, present, and future you in a way that feels yummy and healthy.

• Nov 6 Venus trines Pluto & Mercury trines Neptune | Let’s deconstruct and break down how you can level up your connection with your innate sense of creativity. Odds are, you’ve been in a creative rut as of late, and you’re searching for something to break that cycle. Have you carved out time for creativity and passion lately? Get honest with yourself, and find opportunities to schedule time to let your inner child flourish. It’s hard to schedule creativity, as most of us feel like we need to “act when the passion strikes”. But what most of us don’t realize, is that we need to carve out time and a routine to let our guards down. Creating a routine around creativity not only allows your nervous system to expect what comes next but also lets your mind relax. In turn, creativity and play come naturally. It takes a while to work this muscle out, but, once you get in the swing of things everything starts to flow as necessary. Sometimes you’ll have ruts, and that’s okay. But, when you have a routine to fall back on, it makes picking up the pieces much easier. Examine your thoughts around your creative process or what lights up your soul. Let the version of you that “needs” certain things to be creative "(ie: heartbreak, alcohol, etc.) step into your true artistic power. Deconstruct the idea that you need to hurt to be creatively inclined. Instead, make a plan. Your routine can be as rigid or abstract as you’d like, what matters is lighting that creative flame in your heart. You got this.

• Nov 4th Saturn resumes its path | Since Saturn will resume its motion forward, you’ll notice some past conversations and limitations coming to the front of your mind again. These boundaries are something that need to be evaluated, and swiftly corrected, or else you’ll find yourself working through the same karma over and over again. This is a long and oftentimes heavy transit depending on the construction of your natal chart. Sometimes, the best way to learn from this transit is to truly try to listen to what the universe is trying to show you. The media does a hell of a good job catastrophizing this transit. So instead of panicking about it, just sit back, and listen.

What’s in my cup ☕

If I’m being honest, my daily brew has been looking different every morning. I’ve been going through my herb cabinet and tailoring each day to my current needs. Some days I’m starting the day with a nervine, and others maybe a little more caffeine. It’s been one of those weeks, and I’m just taking it one day at a time.

Reworking routine is necessary sometimes.
