85. The Gifts of Tension: Contemplating The Week of 07.17.23

Where can our personal desires naturally and spontaneously be met with receptivity and grace by the social ecosystems of our lives? Where is more work needed to prime these ecosystems for deeper receptivity? Where will we be met with resistance and where might we perceive or receive others’ disdain? What's our relationship with that external and internal tension?In this offering, I'm sharing my personal notes and contemplations about the week ahead. Combining astrology, tarot, the Akashic & Cosmic Body perspectives, and guidance from my sacred ancestors, healing guides and my own spirit, I hope these messages will serve you as you walk your path.While this contemplation was inspired by the energy and the astrology of the week of 07.17.23, I also offer the possibility that the message here is relevant for you - even if you found the episode sometime in the future. This week, the lunar nodes shift into Aries-Libra after having spent the last couple years (give and take) in Taurus-Scorpio. We have the New Moon in Cancer, the Sun will enter Leo, and Venus will begin its retrograde period in Leo. Sign up for my newsletter to read my essays and be the first to hear about new offerings here.If you've enjoyed and benefited from the podcast, I invite you to apply for private mentorship and coaching with me.
