Choosing Belonging in a Time of Collective Change @Io Ash Misako and I gathered for this week’s Intuitive Tea at the edge of multiple thresholds: the final shedding of the Wood Snake, the approach of Lunar New Year, the beginning of both Lent and Ramadan, and and a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius that will ripple through our communities and alliances for the next six months. The field carried intensity not in a rushed way, but in a truth-telling way. We spent time naming what it means to belong, to choose community consciously, and to hold standards that protect what is tender, creative, and alive. This included honest conversations about emotional release, bold communication, and the necessity of speaking out when harm is present even when it’s uncomfortable. As the Tea unfolded, themes wove together: - Wood Snake’s final shedding: rest, gratitude, and honoring what is complete and the baby-fresh skin that revealed after the shed - Solar Eclipse in Aquarius (Feb 17): communities and alliances being tested; doors closing cleanly so others can open - Saturn moving into Aries: building through courage and structure, not surrender or resignation - Gate 49 & Gate 30: community principles, emotional intensity, and the courage to choose alignment over appeasement - Boldness vs. collapse: audacity, moxie, and clear boundaries as acts of care, as you move forward with all of your parts aligned A strong through-line was emotional honesty: allowing grief, anger, tenderness, and joy to move through the body rather than being suppressed or acted out unconsciously. We talked about how unexpressed emotion becomes distortion, while honored emotion becomes clarity. The cards that came through mirrored this perfectly: disruption alongside emotional loss, fertility beside grief, generosity next to abandonment, as responsive mirrors to the moment we were in. Their their placement clarified how to stay present and aligned while crossing this threshold.

@Io Ash Misako and I gathered for this week’s Intuitive Tea with gratitude for the tech, the space, and the strange sweetness of being human together. The field felt like wood-snake energy: shedding, clarifying, clearing what’s no longer true—so what’s real can move forward cleanly. Io shared about her snake venom rituals (and some very on-brand arrow art on her feet 🏹) as a way of clearing blockages around being seen and speaking live. And from there we moved into the current Space Weather with the kind of honesty that doesn’t demand a full plan, just a truer direction. We touched the edges of what’s shifting: - Uranus moving direct in Taurus and the possibility of disruptions in creature comforts, stability, and money stories - the Aquarius stellium as a collective-frequency amplifier (innovation, community, truth breaking through) - the last quarter moon in Scorpio (Feb 9–10) as a final purge / death-rebirth portal - Mercury square Uranus (Feb 5) bringing lightning ideas—write them down, don’t act yet (parking-lot method) A big thread was stories: the narratives we inherit, repeat, and mistake for truth. Especially the ones shaped by parental/ancestral voices or masculine authority. Gate 13 (Human Design - see book note below) was in the room as a reminder: notice the story, bless it, release it. And the practice underneath it all was simple and powerful: - ground through your five senses and let your intuition speak through the body so you’re not making decisions from spin, fear, or urgency. - plant your feet, raise your bow, and be intentional about the direction that you release your arrow 🎧 Tune into the recording to feel the full transmission, especially where the card pulls (and the timing of them) clarified how to move through this week’s intensity without forcing or freezing. Our invitation: 🏹 Where are you feeling the “shed” this week—what story, habit, or expectation is ready to fall away?

@Io Ash Misako and I dropped into this week’s Intuitive Tea feeling the weight of the moment. And the quiet strength that comes from being together to co-regulate, name what is in the field, and be filled by our time with you. We began with simple check-ins. Bonnie feeling more grounded back into her body. Io navigating fatigue from recent downloads. A shared awareness that the collective field is heavy right now and that tending ourselves is part of tending the whole. As the Tea unfolded, we moved through space weather, astrology, poetry, cards, and lived experience. - Io named the current energy as a kind of thermocline. That sudden shift in pressure where orientation matters more than force. - With Mars conjunct Pluto in Aquarius, the field can feel intense, agitating, even mosh-pit-like… and also deeply communal. Themes that kept surfacing: - grounding while the world feels unstable - hope as something practiced, not forced - activism as embodied, aligned action - the path of the Mystic / Spiritual Warrior: doing the uncomfortable thing that’s still true - quantum change as small, honest steps, rather than big heroic leaps Bonnie pulled cards that echoed this rhythm: Solitude (The Hermit) and Passion Ignited that remind us, listening inward and taking action are not opposites. We also touched on karmic completion, lunar cycles, and the permission to declare a chapter complete and let something new begin. 🎧 Tune into the recording to sit back into the field and receive what wants to meet you, at your own pace. Our invitation: 🏹 What’s one quantum step you’re feeling called toward right now, even a quiet one? 🏹 What line, image, or moment from the Tea stayed with you? A word or a sentence is plenty. This space grows through shared presence, not performance. 🍵✨ Images & Deck details: 🎥 Live Recording 📜 Space Weather details from Io 🃏 Decks: The Psychic Tarot Oracle Deck by John Holland (PT) and The Spirit Animal Oracle by Colette Baron-Reid (SA)

@Io Ash Misako and I dropped into a wide, Aquarian field this week. One that kept circling back to identity, agency, and the courage to say “I Am” in changing times. This Intuitive Tea unfolded around the current Aquarius stellium and the collective moment we’re in: where community matters more than ever, where old identities are loosening, and where spirituality is becoming more active, embodied, and choice-filled. We explored the upcoming Neptune shift from Pisces into Aries (Jan 26) and what it signals for the next long cycle — a movement away from dissolution and toward self-definition, boundaries, and action. As always, the field was layered with real life: rest, illness as a teacher, dreams, intuition, cats doing cat things, humor, and the reminder that awareness unfolds at different speeds. The speed of community, self, work, home, and spirit may be running at the same cadence or variable speeds. 🎧 Tune into the recording to receive the wisdom that moved through: the body, space weather, dream space, astrology, tarot, numerology, and the living intelligence of the group. ☪ Herb: lavender - reminder that scents and herbs can help us focus, pull through clarity, and clear the system to receive.
