Rest first. Clarity comes after. This week Io and Bonnie held space heavy on storytelling and human design depth. We talked about rest, embodiment, and what it means to be selfish in a healthy way. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ 🎯 Space Weather ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ 🃏 Power: Threads of Fate Shadow Edition This is a Fire element card. A reminder to honor your Life Force energy. It is yours. Feed it first before giving it to others. Be selfish first. Prioritize your own clarity. Then you can show up for others from a real place. Power arrived as we began to speak. Not the power to dominate or control. The power to know yourself. To stand in what's true for you even when the world is unsure. ⚡ Venus Retrograde in Scorpio | Begins October 3, through November 13 This is the shell closing. The eyes turning inward. This is an 8 year cycle. Look back at your relationships and what was happening in 2018 and 2010. Venus retrograde is not a crisis. It's a recalibration. A deep look at what you actually value in your relationships, your work, your life. Not what you think you should value. Not what looks good on paper. What is actually true for you. This is not the time for big decisions. No major relationship moves. No large financial commitments. No moves that require you to go out and convince the world you're right. This is the time to go in. To check yourself against your own compass. The inner questions will get more urgent during this window. 🌀 Human Design Gate 48 | The Well. Wisdom. Gate of Depth. A splenic gate: this gate connects to the throat center, gate 16. If you don't have this gate, what you learn from the body may not be expressed vocally... yet. This gate asks you to draw from the depths. Not the surface. The real knowing that lives beneath the noise. Here's the thing: you can't draw from the well alone. Most importantly, you need community. This is a gate in the Collective Circuit. To tap into the depth of the well, this gate requires witnesses. It requires people who can hold the space while you look inside yourself.

Hello everyone! This week we have 2 recordings this week. Today's was embodiment centered. Today was a gathering. A settling in. A place to arrive and be held. Bonnie held the field while we settled into presence together. 🎥 Recording below. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ 🎯 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐀𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐝 ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ The first card was simple and direct. 🃏 Positive Programming: Self Compassion Question: I am open to receiving support with ____. ____ could listen with compassion. Not doing it alone. Not figuring it out solo. Receiving. Letting someone else hold part of it with you. 🃏 Psychic Tarot Oracle: Movement, Choices & Decisions (2) + Material Harvest (9) The pair says: choose what feeds you. Decide what actually nourishes. Don't move toward what's familiar just because it's familiar. The harvest arrives when you choose from presence, not from habit. 🃏 Yantra Oracle: Circle (Perfection) + Six-Pointed Star (Peace) Circle: all possibilities are open to you. You are exactly in the right place at the right time. Six-Pointed Star: practice doing one thing at a time. Feel the tranquil mind arising. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ 🌿 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐖𝐞 𝐀𝐤𝐞𝐝 ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ We breathed together. Moved attention through the body. Let thoughts pass like water passes. We used water sound for clearing. Stillness as arrival. One thing at a time. Breath by breath. Presence by presence. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ✨ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ What do you need support with? Who could listen with compassion? What nourishes, and what's just habit? Can you practice one thing at a time today? Thursday we gather again for a full recording. Until then: sit with what arrived today. Let it settle. 🎥 Recording (here & classroom) In gratitude, Bonnie Sunshine The Archer

From crunchy to clear. Constraint opens into vision. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ 🎯 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ 🌀 Mercury Opposite Saturn | September 16-20, peak September 18 Libra opposite Aries ✨ This is truth telling, not smoothing-things-over talk ✨ Accountability without avoidance. Saturn isn't letting Mercury charm its way out of accountibility Asks: What needs to be said, even if uncomfortable? The shadow: words that wound, or feeling silenced by that heaviness. The gift: clarity built on what's actually real. ⚡ Mercury Sextile Jupiter | September 19-23, peak September 21 Architect mode opens. The door between constraint and possibility. ✨ This is the window for planning, laying foundation, setting ambitious but achievable goals. ✨ Opportunities arise for teaching, writing, negotiation, community co-creation. ✨ Move from recognizing limits into visioning what's possible. 🌀 Human Design Gate 46 | September 21 - Pushing Upward / Self-Identity / Embodiment Being present here and now, not pushing yourself into the future. And when you do push upward, let it be effortless ascent, not struggle. ✨ Auto-writing: Ask "What wants to expand in my life?" Let it flow without judgment. ✨ The trifecta this week: Intuition opening. Initiation arriving (Cacao). Embodiment activating (Gate 46). ☀️ Sun Enters Libra | September 22 The Equinox. Two sides meeting each other. Move from maintaining harmony to creating actual balance. The deeper work: don't abandon yourself to keep things looking smooth. ✨ Can you meet someone else without disappearing? ✨ Can you honour yourself without refusing to compromise? ✨ Where have you been maintaining harmony instead of creating actual balance? 🃏 The Cards Herbal Astrolgy Oracle: Cacao Initiation. Sacrifice. Yantra Oracle Deck: Chinnamasta's intuition. Positive Programming: Self Compassion (see images) 🌿 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 September 18-21: Speak truth. Plan from vision. Be fully present. Trust the timing. September 22 onward: Renegotiate the relationship between me and we. Not perfect balance. Right relationship.

How are you all doing? What are you finding for yourself this week? I'm in Rhode Island this week. I find myself going to Nature, walking and playing with plants and trees, and enjoying some slowness as I reconnect with myself and 2 friends. Any requests for our call on Tuesday?
