As I begin
To look from within
I need a plan
To be whoever I choose
All I need's a friend
To lend me a hand

Astrology forecast 🌠

Dec 5 | Venus trines Saturn | I know things don’t feel like they’re going your way right now, but what I can say, is that some relief is coming with this transit. It won’t be Earth shattering, but, look for tiny wins. Positvity and productivity don’t always have to come in grandiose packages. This could be something as simple as having a good hair day, or cooking a fabulous meal when you otherwise expected things to take a turn for the worst. This transit serves as a reminder to not overlook the small stuff, especially when it comes to checking your own limiting belifs about yourself. Sometimes you just need to clean your glasses to see that the road in front of you isn’t as blurry as you once thought.

Dec 7 | Mercury trines Jupiter | If you’ve felt like your productivity has dipped a little, today might feel a little different. Try to have a little grace for yourself today when it comes to work or passing conversations. It’s so easy to get stuck in you own head. But, when you’re able to see outside of yourself and work with developing a conscious practice when it comes to how you view your occupation - you’re able to unlock some serious potential.

Dec 9 | Venus Jupiter opposition | Be extra kind to yourself today, and while you’re at it, get everything ready for the New Moon coming up soon. Focus on what you’re looking to release during this upcoming lunation, because you might have a laundry list of things irking you today. Don’t get swept up in the negatives, even thought it might feel super inticing. Instead, practice some radical self acceptance, and try to engage in some grace for yourself and those around you. Even if you wake up and decide today is not your day, don’t let it consume you.

Dec 12 | New Moon in Sagittarius | This lunation is here to shake up the stagnant energy that’s been lingering since our last lunation on November 27th. Sagittarius’s energy is insightful, positive, and inspires us to look toward the future - instead of ruminating on the past. During winter, it can feel extra difficult to embrace the idea that better things are on the horizon. This New Moon is here to interject some lightness, especially in your own mind and how you might view yourself. This is your time to realize, and embrace, your limitless potential.

Let this lunation spark the interest to dig a little deeper, and play with some (sometimes uncomfortable) introspection.
Where can you give yourself more grace?
Where can you adjust to allow for more “you” time?
Where can you readjust your social circle and make sure it supports your highest vibration?
Are you giving yourself enough credit?
Are you taking on too much, and in turn setting yourself up for failure?

Events 📅

Dec 3 | Release Meditation Recap | We were graced with a smaller group than usual at the Interstellar Harmony house for our RELEASE group meditation and sound bath. When I say the vibes were intense, I mean it! You could literally feel the love and support radiating from one another. Especially during our sound bath. Facilitating that movement of energy was nothing short of magical, and I’m still riding that high. We discussed our ancestors, and how much guidance they provide. How social standards are extra heavy this time of year (especially for women.) Above all else though, we were all so grateful for community.

Dec 11 | New Moon Circle | We’re cohosting a New Moon Circle with the Witches of Western NC at the Interstellar Harmony House! Personally, the New Moon works best when you’re looking to manifest or settling on intentions. A lot of folks think Full Moons are the best time for magic, but during this circle we’ll be diving in on all the goodness that New Moons bring - specifically the upcoming New Moon in Sagittarius.

What’s in my cup ☕

This week I’m back on my High Garden Tea game.

One of my favorites for years has been High Garden’s “Daily Strength” blend. Though, “In the Pines” is a close second (it’s seasonal, so it’s extra special.) Anything with elderberries this time of year is what my body craves, and “Daily Strength” delivers. Plus, the goodness of nettles providing my body with the extra nutrients it needs during the winter months just feels so wonderful. It’s the tiniest bit floral, and super earthy, perfect for an all-day sipper!
