January photo dump⁣
⁣
One thing I’ve been noticing as I’m committing myself more to embodying Venus is that I barely take any pictures from day to day. Sure, I take a lot of pictures of my son, but other than some functional snapshots of things I might want to buy for the house (very Venus in Virgo 💀) I don’t really take a lot of time to capture my life. And despite having natal Mercury in the 10th, I also don’t really share much of myself in this space. So this year I’ll challenge myself to take more pictures and also share them!⁣
⁣
January was both slow and extremely busy (blame it on Saturn opposing my Mars), and with Saturn finally moving on I’m glad things are getting back to normal soon. I’ve enjoyed not being much on social media but also miss the connection with all of you!⁣

‘Tis the season of looking back and reflecting on the year we’re leaving behind. And how else to do that than by revisiting some of the major transits I've gone through? Transits aren’t only a great technique to use for astrological prediction, they are also incredibly helpful to better understand the past. When we’re going through the thick of it, it’s challenging to make sense of what is actually going on. The meaning-making of certain events usually comes after the fact, when you’ve gained some distance from whatever happened. There’s a quote by philosopher Søren Kierkegaard that illustrates this “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”⁣

Astrological transits help us understand backwards. They provide an archetypal context to experiences that maybe seemed unclear or just plain chaotic at the time. And understanding the past more deeply brings integration, freedom, and healing. It’s the best foundation for looking ahead at what’s next, too. I strongly believe that new plans will be more impactful and empowering once you’ve properly reflected on where you come from in the first place. It makes our goals and intentions more realistic and helps us stay embodied in the here and now.⁣

In most of my Cosmic Cycles consults, I start with an acknowledgment of and reflection on transits that clients have recently lived through. I often hear back from clients how validating it is to start there and how it helps them move forward with more clarity. My books are open, if you’re curious about exploring your own past, present and future. ⁣💌 subscribers have received a discount code in the mail.
