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.
