Happy January friends!
How are we doing? The first few days of the month have been a blur for me, very hectic but in a way that I feel like I am prepared for. Hectic in a way that I’ve been needing. But here I am on a Saturday night, in front of the computer (I’ve been working since I woke up—ahh to have my Chart Ruler as the Sun. When Sun is in Capricorn, I go on overdrive too!), drinking a glass of Berocca when I wish it was wine instead. From my orange tinted vitamin infused chalice to yours, I say cheers. Cheers to getting things done, one day at a time.
Today, the Nodes, the points in space where the solar and lunar eclipses happen, are shifting positions. For the past 18 months, they were locked in at Aries and Libra. (And so, if you have prominent Aries and Libra placements, you might have witnessed big changes in your life.) The lessons of those eclipses revolved around stepping into our most authentic selves and letting go of relationships that can no longer go on. These people, that story, we can no longer take them with us in the new seasons of our lives. How have you rebranded yourself? I hope you feel good in this new, lighter version of you.
Today, the Nodes enter Pisces and Virgo. The North Node, what we will be hungry for, the lessons we should embody, are of the light aspects of Pisces. Pisces is about flow, intuition, and trust. On the flip side, the South Node, what we will need to tame, to set aside, are of the shadow aspects of Virgo. We must let go of unrealistic expectations and in being so critical (to others and more importantly to ourselves) and release the illusion of control. The only thing we can control are our thoughts and actions.
For the next 18 months or so, we will find ourselves in situations that will nudge (sometimes gently, sometimes not—ahh, the ways of the universe. But it really wants us to learn!) us towards these themes. I use this phrase a lot, but there is no better time to use this now and for the next few eclipses—TRUST THE UNIVERSE. This, I think, is the ultimate lesson for the Pisces-Virgo eclipses we have upon us. How spiritually connected are you to the people you surround yourself with? How spiritually connected are you to the things you choose to do? This is also about being SO INTENTIONAL. If you have to do something, or be with someone, make it a precious ceremony. Make the conversations deeper than usual, when you talk to someone really look them in the eye. This is no time for superficial connections. Let’s take things to the next level, let’s really connect heart to heart, soul to soul.
And I love that.
Before I go, I just wanted to thank everyone who booked Cosmic Blueprint and 2025 (which I am closing soon by the way, so let me know quick if you still want one) readings with me. My December has never been booked with not tattoo work! It was fully booked with astrology readings this time, so woohoo yay thank you so much. I love being in service this way. It really, really means a lot. Quick backstory: I’ve been seeing Uranus (the planet of surprises, the unexpected) above my 10th House (House of Career, Legacy and Reputation) the past few years and I was always sort of anxious about it. I worked so hard to be a good tattoo artist—I’ve been tattooing since 2009—and will that all go away? And in the most unexpected, but also most perfect of times, astrology landed in my life. One of the things I’ve loved the most about tattooing are the connections I’ve made with my clients, their stories. Now I see that tattooing also prepared me for this part, the connections, the deep conversations with clients.
Another thing, I was interviewed by Vogue Philippines to talk about what’s in store for you, according to your Rising Sign, in 2025.
I also did a thing with an app called Uptime —where you learn something new in just minutes, which I think is a way better way to spend time on your phone with. Anyway, I did a quick quick course on determining the Ruling of your Birth Chart, which is truly very important in knowing how and where to navigate your life.
Love and good vibes,
