🥂My Birthday is Coming Up! -- Where does the term solar return come from?
Sooo, idk about you, but I used to be addicted to watching conspiracy theories and lectures on the metaphysics. When I was about 22 or 23, I saw an amazing Howard University Lecture by Zodeakus El. She was doing a lecture on etymology, something I have always been totally intrigued by as I loved English class growing up. I loved words, their roots, where they came from and I fell in love with language and the romance of it. SO later, once my mind began challenging religion and other teachings I have been introduced to, my intuition stated asking me to challenge my elders' ways of thinking and I began looking for answers in this period between 17 and 22. One day, I was speaking with someone, and they told me I should listen to a lecture because of what "she was talking about, you would like the subject matter because you like stuff like that -- you like talking about philosophy and mysticism and I just think you would get a lot out of it"... boy did I. The lecturer's name was Zodeakus El. Her lecture was about etymology, but she went into Jesus and climbing Jacob's ladder and how to elevate your soul, so you don't have to "come back" something I have always found, funny... but that's not the matter of conversation. She spoke of a Septenary cycle that begins on your birthday where every 52 days, a different planet has influence upon your life. Starting from your birthday, a 52-day cycle begins, from the sun, moon, mercury, Venus, mars, to Jupiter then finally Saturn, each planet energetically influencing how we are experiencing life. Let's get into it! 🌻So, when your birthday comes, you begin the sun cycle, duh, I mean it's your birthday, the sun is in your day, just like in astrology, they say your sun is in Virgo? Your life is being influenced by the sun! The sun represents vitality, visibility, purpose and power to express ourselves! The individual is symbolically returning to the center of their own lives. These reflection questions could start coming to mind; Who am I becoming? What do I want to be known for? What deserves my energy? Where am I ready to take up space? Because the birthday marks a solar return, this first period can be viewed as a personal reset. It is a time to establish intentions and reconnect with one’s direction.

🌙 Monday Medicine: Working With the Moon's Energy
Good Morning, Sanctuary Family. ✨ Many people wake up on Monday groaning, counting down to Friday, and dreading the week ahead. But in NovaSoul Sanctuary, we honor the deeper vibration behind each day. Monday is not a punishment. Monday is a portal. The word Monday literally means Moon Day. Across many ancient traditions, Monday has been associated with the Moon, the celestial body that governs emotions, intuition, dreams, reflection, receptivity, and the sacred feminine. While the Sun shines outwardly, the Moon asks us to look within. That means Monday is not necessarily the day to force, push, hustle, or overexert yourself. Instead, it is a day for asking: 🌙 How do I feel? 🌙 What does my spirit need? 🌙 What energy am I carrying into this week? 🌙 What needs nurturing before it can grow? The Moon reminds us that power doesn't always come from action. Sometimes power comes from awareness. 🌿 Herbs of Monday Monday herbs traditionally support emotional balance, intuition, healing, peace, and inner wisdom. Some of my favorites include: Chamomile For peace, gentle protection, emotional soothing, and calming anxious thoughts. Lemon Balm For uplifting the spirit while calming the nervous system. Excellent for emotional overwhelm. Mugwort Known for dream work, intuition, spiritual awareness, and connecting with the subconscious mind. Jasmine Associated with lunar energy, emotional healing, self-love, and spiritual connection. White Rose Connected to purity, self-compassion, peace, and opening the heart. Lavender For tranquility, emotional balance, rest, and energetic cleansing. A simple Monday tea using lemon balm, chamomile, and lavender can help set the energetic tone for your entire week. 🌙 The Shadow of Monday The Moon also teaches us about cycles. Some Mondays you may feel inspired. Some Mondays you may feel emotional. Some Mondays you may feel uncertain. That's okay. The Moon never apologizes for changing phases. Neither should you. You are not meant to operate at full capacity every single day.

🌿 The Angry Architect and the Alchemist's Secret
There once was a top-notch New York Architect who was angry at everything. The weather was wrong. The traffic was too slow. People spoke too loudly. His coffee was never hot enough. Every inconvenience felt like a personal attack, and his anger followed him everywhere he went. One afternoon, after an argument with a merchant, he stormed down a back alley, in the rain, to puff on a cigarette, muttering curses under his breath. As he walked, he came upon an older woman, dressed in Nigerian garb, smoking a cigarette herself. She was sheltered by the shop loading dock she worked at. She watched him for a moment and smiled. "You carry a heavy bucket," she said. The man looked around, confused. "I carry no bucket." The woman pointed to his chest. "Yes you do. It is overflowing." Annoyed, he replied, "People keep putting things into it." The old woman chuckled. "Then let me tell you a story." The man sighed, frustrated but sat beside her. "There was once a river that hated the rain," she began. "Every time the clouds arrived, the river became angry. It swelled and surged against its banks. It shouted at the sky and fought against the water." The man frowned. "Why would a river fight water?" "Exactly," said the woman. "The river thought the rain was disturbing it. What it did not understand was that the rain was the very thing helping it grow." She inhaled the smoke slowly and exhaled steadily. "Look," She said pointing at the storm drain "The wise river learns something different." "What?" asked the man. "It learns that water is water." "The calm water. The rushing water. The storm water." "It stops asking how to get rid of the current and instead learns how to flow with it." The man sat silently. The woman continued. "Your anger is not your problem." "It isn't?" "No." She pointed again at the flow of the water going into the sewer. "Emotion is simply energy in motion. Like water moving down into our lakes and reservoirs and rivers. When anger comes, you believe you must become anger. When sadness comes, you become sadness. When fear comes, you become fear. The alchemist does something different."
