Whew, this month! Are y’all feeling it as much as I am??
Sunday July 21, 2024 welcomes in our second full moon in Capricorn in a row. The first was June 21, coming in at one degree Capricorn – kicking off the beginning of a cycle of change, or death portal as I like to call them. And this second one is coming in at 29 degrees, marking the end of that cycle.
In the last week, we witnessed an assassination attempt at Donald Trump and the ensuing response to that attack. We have been receiving an earful about political violence. And many have been justifibly calling out the political violence that we contribute to outside of the US.
Much of our energy has been tuned outward lately as we take in the drama. So it makes sense that the invitation for us right now is to refocus that energy inward again to connect to our inner healer / wise person / higher self / infinite essential self.
We’re invited to connect to the divine within each of us rather than the noise of the collective ego. (High Priestess reversed)
In the closing of yet another cycle, we are moving on from a particularly challenging sticky moment in our growth. (10 of Swords reversed) Perhaps there were some confronting conversations you had to have last month. Perhaps you were feeling the burn of impatience that felt like hitting the gas while in park – lots of energy revving and going nowhere. Perhaps you were feeling intense discontentment that was hard to pinpoint within your body. Just angsty frustration.
Needless to say, collectively we have been hot (literally) and bothered.
Take some reassuring comfort knowing that collectively we’re moving through the stagnation and stuckness of victim mentality and rigidity. (5 of Swords, reversed)
This is our invitation to continue doing the work of opening our hearts to our shared humanity across the polarities of public opinion. Soften. Allow. Witness the inner child in all of us, even those we name as perpetrators of violence. Because each of us perpetrates violence within our own being when we don’t honor our divinity, our worthiness, our fallibility, our humanity.
It’s this personal violence we enact upon ourselves that perpetuates violence across the world stage.
So this is a potent moment to give ourselves grace, space, kindness, slowness, and patience as we are recovering from the overwhelm of being alive on this Earth in this time of great change. (Chariot reversed)
And the ways in which we’re invited to show up for our own nurturance right now is new for each of us. We are expanding against the edges of our own self-acceptance, self-love, and self-compassion. We are expanding against the edges of acceptance, love and compassion of our collective body.
What we honor for our individual bodies is reflected in what we honor for our collective body. We are being tasked with taking that self-love to an even deeper level.
What protective boundaries are you putting in place to honor your energy and capacity? Your home? Your family and loved ones?
What decisions do you need to make about your consumption of media? Of the energy you devote to your social spaces, physical and virtual?
Where are you feeling impatience and fear – the scarcity of time or material resources?
Where have you over-considered other’s feelings, energy, time, needs over your own?
This full moon closes out Cancer season so we have been reflecting on HOME this month. So this last nudge is inviting us to clean house, and fill it with renewed loving energy for what YOU need to feel anchored, confident, secure and abundant.
The well needs to be replenished.
Pour into YOU.

Medicine Retreat for AAPI Women – Autumn 2024
An intimate spirit medicine retreat that honors the season of death and our ancestral roots.
JIA is mandarin for family and home. It implies a shared identity, belonging, and the foundation upon which relationships are built.
We witness those we call family move through life transitions and transformational portals. Within our chosen families, we seek safety and a sense of belonging. We seek nurturing space held for us in compassionate presence to both celebrate and grieve life events together.
In this intimate 4-day, 3-night retreat, away from the noise and density of urban environments, we will receive the invitation of winter – the season of death – to witness each other as we honor what is shedding, what we are grieving, and memorialize the aspects of our identity that are dying away to make room for what is unfolding.
Book a free discovery call to find out more and claim one of the four spots.
