When the Full Moon illuminates your 12th House

Today there’s a full moon in Virgo. It’s lighting up my 12th house, so I felt inspired to write this:

10 Practices for when the Full Moon happens in your 12th House:

invoke energy work/support with the topic of hidden enemies, people who secretly wish you harm. anchor into safety, visualize health boundaries, pray for divine protection. visualize all energy that’s not yours being sent to Source for recycling. 🧿
awareness & energy work around patterns of self-sabotage/undoing. bouncing off of #1, what are the ways where you secretly wish yourself harm, if there are any? are there any parts of you resisting growth, success, the path you’re moving on?

Embodiment, Systemic Harm & Getting Our Needs Met

My higher self is the version of who has her needs met easily & effortlessly and therefore is fully embodied in her magic, wholeness 🌅⁠

Systemic harm includes having systems where it’s so difficult to get our needs met. where it’s difficult to even *identify* our needs.⁠

(the hoops someone has to jumps through with insurance in the healthcare system just to be cared for = one example of this) ⁠

⁠

this is ingrained into us subconsciously,⁠

imprinted into the infrastructure,⁠

and unless you have wildly strong boundaries…we’ve all internalized it. ⁠

Energy does not need your help to wake up

⁠energy does not need your help to wake up. ⁠

⁠energy is already awake ✨⁠

shift your energy to the awake awareness that’s already present in the background of your awareness. ⁠

⁠spiritual awakening is not about traveling to Bali, kundalini, 5D is better than 3D, starseeds, conspiracy theories, twin flames, ayahuasca, blah blah blah 🙄🙄⁠

spiritual awakening is about developing a relationship with awake awareness. it's about letting go, surrendering your need to know, and simply being. ⁠

⁠spiritual awakening is being awake to the present moment. ⁠

it's wild how something as simple as "being" isn't easy. it brings up a lot of our shit - ⁠

Your Body is a Portal to the Universe

Uranus in Taurus is teaching us that our bodies are a portal to the universe. (2018-2026) 🌌💫⁠
⁠
Today is Friday, ruled by Venus. Taurus is ruled by Venus.⁠
⁠
Friday is named after Frejya, a Norse Goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. 🌺⁠
⁠
Here's your invitation to get out of your head and into your body. find what feels yummy, whether that's ⁠
⁠
• the simple pleasure of breathing deep, ⁠
• asking a loved one to massage your neck, ⁠
• standing up at your desk to stretch as you wrap up the workweek⁠
• pausing to drink water ⁠
