As we ride the end of the 50' wave of surrender from the last couple of days, that inner critic of yours might be sounding really loud and may get in the way of getting things done that you want or need to do. Today's invitation (or permission slip) to slow down involves making a list of your recent accomplishments. You could even title it, "Yo! Inner Critic, I love you and you're wrong." If you want to post some accomplishments here, feel free!

Ok, so there won't be big transits every day, sometimes the energy is just normal, but, this week is pretty active. (This should be it for the technical talk) We have a partial lunar eclipse in Pisces later today and it's extra special because Mars is being it's agitator self by squaring off with the nodes. What in the world does that mean for your day? If this is as far as you read, use this energy as the kick in the butt it is to move forward by connecting to, and trusting, your gut (or heart or wherever you feel your instincts). I marked an action item at the end. We're all made up of all of the things (masculine-feminine, shadow-light, serious-playful, organized-scattered, etc) and today's eclipse has an extra boost of the divine masculine (to activate and inspire us to get in touch with our emotions so they can (healthfully) take the CEO reins). These few days (yesterday through tomorrow and, most particularly, today) may feel frustrating, emotional, intuitive, day-dreamy, and cutting. This angst is here to help you set the foundation for moving forward. This is an invitation to slow down and ask your emotions what they need/what they want to do, and for you to do it. You may find yourself needing or wanting to vocalize (yelling or singing would not be surprising today), getting creative, daydreaming, or just getting quiet and letting your mind wander (which is ALWAYS a good idea, this is just an extra special workout) - go with that flow, even if it's for just 60 seconds, whenever you feel called and have the ability to. You may feel surprised by the emotions that come up today and they may get in the way of your productivity and efficiency - try to tend to those emotions. It's likely that they're from childhood and they've gotten stuck in a pattern you had to implement to keep you safe (this comes from Mars in Cancer and that tricky square) and now, you have agency and can process and release those patterns/emotions. (I'm making an assumption about your situation here) Know that it's safe to process now, that your inner mother (divine feminine) is hear and ready to nurture you.

Are you new to the community? Welcome, I'm really glad you're here! Introduce yourself in the comments so we can get to know you. The focus of this community is to help you get in touch with who you really are so that you can get past the confusion and frustration of not making progress on a big work project or on the priorities on your to-do list. If you’re like me, the pressure to conform and fit in you’ve felt throughout your career (and earlier) has you in a loop of fear – fear to embrace your true process, and fear of speaking up to ask for the resources you need (even if that’s just asking for a minute to formulate a plan). To make this shift more efficient, I like to use your astrological natal chart as a sort of cheat sheet to apply some amazing nervous system tools to show you how you, specifically, get back to the present moment (vs beating yourself up about the past or worrying about the future), and to recharge and rebalance your nervous system. This way you can use who you really are to fully get your move on with your priority projects. If you’re comfortable with sharing your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs in the group when you post about a current project, please do, but please don’t share more than that here. Everything in the community will center around getting unstuck and owning who you really are so that you can move from to-do to done by: 1. Identifying current blocks that are mucking up your productivity 2. Getting your nervous system recharged and back on-line so you can healthfully navigate struggles 3. Understanding how the current astrological energy may be working for or against you and how you can apply it so that you can get moving (which may mean slowing down for a time) 4. Building and maintaining healthy boundaries so that you can focus on doing things your way for your greatest success Welcome again, and please introduce yourself below!
