The Update: Solar Eclipse in Scorpio - October 25 2022 | Lunar Eclipse in Taurus - November 8 2022

For this eclipse season (10.25 -11.08) I was expecting a severing. Something dramatic, sudden, and unwanted - like the shock I received in July when Uranus met up with Mars and the North Node, and my husband suddenly announced his need to carry on without me.

Instead, it brought a reconciliation. Renewed commitment. A declaration to stay and work through whatever needed to be transformed. "You are my family, and I need my family". This message came to me from overseas. My husband returned from Italy on October 26th.

These last 4 months were a test. A test I regretted signing up for many times as I sat within its relentless confines.

Together, we discovered what a divorce might look and feel like. The shadow side of a love relationship is an ugly thing - but still, we always held each other with honor and respect, and I am proud of that.

Despite all the pain, I walked with a light in my heart and a bright anticipation for the future. It was a moment by moment game, like it always is, but maybe we're not always aware of that.

At my local park on October 25 - The shock of the news was that it was not shocking.

Life is Kind to Me

One mantra I kept returning to in moments of despair, was:

"LIFE IS KIND TO ME."

It works if you truly believe it. It is a declaration as much as a reminder. I moved forward into the impossible with this torch of faith.

This is an important message for the time we are living in right now. Every moment will ask you to make a choice between a shadow reality and a true one. This truth can be seen in the astrology, as well as felt inside you. Biofeedback on our thoughts and actions is more immediate than ever before, in my experience.

FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES

I HAVE SO MANY ALLIES, SO MANY TOOLS. WHEN THINGS GOT REALLY HARD I FELT A DEEP COMPASSION AND AWE FOR EVERY HUMAN BEING WHOM HAS EVER HAD THE IMPOSSIBLE SHOW UP AT THEIR DOOR, AND DID NOT HAVE THE PRIVILEGES I HAVE. EVEN WITH ALL THIS, MY HUMAN FEELINGS PUSHED ME OVER THE EDGE.

Journeying Alongside Masters

Kaia Ra recently offered this prayer for mentoring with Mary Magdalene and when I heard it I thought "yes, that-" : If you work with Mary, invoke her and say this prayer to yourself:

"Show me how to be balanced and in harmony with the power of my Higher Self, whether something feels easy or hard, in every present moment. Show me how creative I can be. Show me how willing I can be. Show me how courageous I can be. Show me how much fun I can have, even when something does not feel fun. Show me what I'm really up to. I'm ready to discover more of how magnificent I am as an Angel on Earth."

And so it is.
