consumed

the astrology of this time is so unknown and yet quite ripe - like reaching your hand out to pluck fruit with your eyes closed, trusting your gut and your senses but fearful of what may jump out and bite you along the way. making moves while knowing there is sharpness afoot is daunting, and some of us may even feel foolish trying to navigate. but beyond the barbs, there is beauty to be captured and explored.

these barbs may be tangible, and they are most definitely contained within the mind. the astrology of Scorpio season is cutting, brandishing, violent yet necessary - there is an extraction that must be made if we are to go on any farther. if we are to continue on this path we’ve begun. there is a shattering that must occur in order to be set free. what are you currently breaking out of? how much of it was of your making, and how much of that was informed by blueprints you’ve never before had the opportunity or audacity to question? how will you hold yourself with grace as you set yourself free? who will you be when you emerge from the flames anew?

I loved speaking with Jeff Hinshaw over at Cosmic Cousins about the November transits, which you can check out here. I began a thought there about how to consume is human, and I wish to elaborate on it more here: to consume is human, to desire is human, to crave and to hunger and to need, all human. now is the time we begin to discover how to do so - how to embody all of this Being - with equity. what awaits destruction has been built from a place of inequality. what holds us back has been designed by a system of cruelty. the instinct to consume is not one to place blame on or carry shame around, but it is also easily swayed and betrayed, used against us to add insult to injury and added to our tab.

but no more. not with Pluto preparing to return in the states. not with Venus preparing for a long stay in the material realm.

I’ve channeled a tarot spread for this four-month journey, that takes into consideration some of the other players involved. feel free to try it out and let me know how it goes!
