Hey, love! Readings, both general and sign by sign are up in their respective folders in the classroom. The energy this week is pretty intense. There’s shit rising to the surface that is no longer giving you the option: It’s face it, feel it, and metabolize it or be buried by it. Lock in, make self-care and nurturing a priority, and audit the fuck out of the programming running the show and words coming out of your mouth. EVERYTHING is being expanded this week. Make sure it’s expanding what you do want, not more of what you don’t. xx

This weekend’s astrology is not exactly subtle, nor is it playing nice. Today, the lunar nodes shift into Aquarius and Leo, beginning a new collective cycle around individuality, community, leadership, visibility and the difference between being authentically expressed versus performing for validation. The South Node in Leo begins exposing where ego, pride, attention-seeking or the need to be specially chosen has been running the show. The North Node in Aquarius asks us to move toward something larger: aligned community, collaboration, innovation and becoming less concerned with being applauded by the room and more concerned with whether we belong in the damn room at all. Saturn also stations retrograde in Aries today, beginning a period of reviewing how we lead ourselves. Some questions to chew on rn: Where have you been waiting for permission? 
Where have you confused impulsivity with courage?
 Where do you need more discipline, personal responsibility or follow-through? The Moon moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn today, so you may notice the energy shifting from restless, optimistic or mentally expansive into something more serious and grounded. Suddenly, it is less about what could happen and more about what you are actually prepared to build, change or commit to. A Cap moon makes for great week planning energy—what do you want to achieve this week and what are some simple, practical and accessible steps that can be penciled in for the beginning of the week. Now that Mercury is moving forward it’s time to begin thinking about steps that create momentum and pick up the pace. We’re still in a shadow period so triple check details but it will feel good to begin matching action to intentions. We are also moving toward Wednesday’s Aquarius Full Moon, sitting opposite the Sun and Jupiter in Leo. Whatever is beginning to surface now is likely part of a much larger culmination around identity, visibility, belonging and the future you are choosing. There’s a very unique energy to this transit that will make us feel pulled in different directions. Take some time to really settle into what comes up and dialogue with it. Expansiveness and structure can seem like unlikely bedfellows but in this case, one benefits the other.

Hello, beauties! A quick programming update: technology and I had creative differences this morning, so the weekly collective overview and sign-by-sign readings did not get recorded as planned. Apparently, Mercury wanted a producer credit. After a full afternoon of coaching calls and private readings, I decided not to force it or give you a half-charged version just to check a box. I’ll be recording and uploading everything tomorrow when I can give the energy the depth and attention it deserves. And tomorrow is already a big one. We also have our live preparation session for Saturday’s Lion’s Gate Activation, which means there is still time to upgrade to Premium or VIP and join us. Those tiers are where we move beyond simply knowing what the energy is doing and start working with it intentionally through live classes, activations, coaching, deeper readings, and closer access to me each month. Free insight can help you recognize the pattern. Proximity is where we start doing something about it. For those already inside the closer-proximity tiers, the full August Astrology Breakdown is now available in your classroom. The sign-by-sign readings will be added tomorrow. Free members will find the weekly collective overview inside the Weekly Reading classroom tomorrow as well. I’ll post an update as soon as everything is live so nobody has to wander through Skool like they’ve misplaced their car in a parking garage. August already feels extremely active. There is movement, pressure, opportunity, and more than a little cosmic bullshit-testing in the air. I’m excited to break down what is happening this week so you can navigate it from an empowered, discerning, and aligned place instead of letting the energy drag you around by your nervous system. Have a beautiful rest of your Monday. Sending you love!

I just finished hosting the most incredible Full Moon circle and Jupiter expansion ritual, and the energy was completely off the charts. That is one of the wonderful things about summertime, at least for those of us who live somewhere with four seasons. Although, I’m fairly certain Colorado operates strictly in either summer or winter, with approximately six business days of fall thrown in for decoration. Being able to gather outside and celebrate these cosmic doorways beneath the actual sky always enhances the experience for me. There is something powerful about working with the energy while physically immersed in it. During the discussion portion of the circle, something came up that I felt was important to share here because I see it everywhere in manifestation culture. Gratitude. Here is my unpopular opinion: In my personal and professional experience, gratitude is not the key to actualizing your desires. In fact, it is not even particularly important to the mechanics of manifestation. Now, don’t misunderstand me. Gratitude is a beautiful practice. It can help create a happier, healthier and far more pleasant life. It can soften us, expand our awareness and help us recognize the goodness that already exists around us. We should all probably practice more of it. But gratitude, by itself, has absolutely no bearing on whether you can manifest and sustain the life you desire. Honestly, I consider it a bit of a red flag when I see an influencer, coach or spiritual guide treating gratitude like the holy grail of manifestation. You can express gratitude every second sentence, but if your identity is still rooted in scarcity, low self-worth or low-caliber decision-making, you are going to continue creating from those foundations. You can be grateful for what you have and still subconsciously believe you are incapable of receiving more. You can write ten pages in a gratitude journal every morning and still choose unavailable partners, undercharge for your work, avoid opportunities, sabotage momentum or retreat the second your desires require you to become someone unfamiliar.
