Trust Yourself & Take the Next Step

from Blood, Belly & Stars Hosted by Shannon Amrein

This week we are standing at a threshold. With a rare astrological configuration peaking in the sky, we’re in a season of profound change. The runes and animal medicine remind us that this is a week for aligned action. Some identities are continuing to fall away. New ways of being are beginning to emerge. Trust the wisdom that is already within you, seek the knowledge you genuinely need, and then move forward with intention. This is also the beginning of a harvest season. The seeds you’ve been tending are beginning to bear fruit—but harvest still requires participation. Keep showing up and taking the next aligned step. In this week’s reading we explore: * The rare “Barbault Basket” astrological configuration and why this period may mark a significant collective turning point. * Why an old identity may be dissolving to make space for something new. * Listening more deeply to your intuition while remaining open to learning. * The balance between observation and decisive action. * Why moving quietly and protecting new ideas can be powerful medicine. * Continuing to receive the harvest of what you’ve been cultivating. * Trusting yourself instead of remaining stuck in second-guessing. Animal Medicine Weasel reminds us to move quietly, observe deeply, and allow wisdom to fully mature before sharing it with the world. Antelope arrives with a clear message: the time for aligned action is now. Trust your timing, trust your knowing, and move forward with courage. Reflection Questions * What identity am I ready to release? * Where am I being asked to trust my own inner knowing? * What action have I already known I need to take? * What harvest is beginning to arrive in my life? Mentioned in this episode The Elemental Embodiment Journey I’m re-releasing one of my favorite foundational courses—a journey into relationship with Earth, Water, Fire, and Air as pathways back to your body, your life force, and your connection with the living world. If you’ve been longing for a grounding practice during this season of change, this course offers guided teachings and practices to help you reconnect with yourself and the elements. ✨ Currently available for $27, with lifetime access.
