    Wtf is going on energetically right now?

    Hello my loves,

    Since I was last on here I ran my first retreat Recharge and Renew in Bali and oh my gosh it really was one of the best weeks of my life. I can’t wait to do it again next year there are already 3 confirmed retreats that haven’t officially been launched yet but I hoping it will next month in October my birthday month woohoo.

    I felt really called to speak to you today about the energies at present collectively cause boy it’s a lot and if you’re not feeling it, I am genuinely so happy for you, if you’re like me and many clients and people I’ve spoken to online on Instagram huge rapid changes are on the horizon.

    We are in a gateway, a bridge, an eclipse sandwich in between two eclipses. What’s really interesting about this current one is from the lunar eclipse in pisces, the next is a solar eclipse coincides with a new moon on the 2nd of October in Libra.

    What do the eclipses mean?

    Eclipses are not just astronomical events; they’re cosmic catalysts that can shift our lives significantly. Each eclipse occurs in pairs. The one that recently happened in September, a lunar eclipse illuminated our inner worlds, revealing what needs to be let go of, while the upcoming October solar eclipse represents new beginnings and fresh starts. Together, they form a dynamic interplay that encourages us to embrace transformation and change.

    September 2024 Lunar Eclipse

    The recent lunar eclipse in September invited us to look inward. What fears or limiting beliefs have been holding us back? What relationships no longer serve us? This eclipse shines a light on the shadows, urging us to acknowledge and release what we’ve outgrown. It’s a moment to honor our past experiences, but also to recognise the need for change.

    Eclipses and Destiny

    Now with all of this said , it’s important to also take note of the background to all of this. The shift in destiny nodes too energetically. Currently, the focus has shifted from the Aries/Libra chapter for the last year and half to now starting to introduce Pisces and Virgo energy inviting us to explore new themes in our lives.

    Essentially the recent lunar eclipse was a peak of a new chapter coming in over 2025 – 2027 in the energies of Pisces and Virgo so we’re not quite there yet given Aries and Libra with the upcoming solar eclipse in Libra.

    Pisces Eclipse Energy 2024

    Pisces emphasises spirituality, feeling, compassion, and creativity, encouraging us to embrace vulnerability and connect with a higher purpose. In contrast, Virgo is about practicality, letting go of over-analysis, and perfectionism.

    Libra Eclipse Energy 2024

    Libra’s large influence continues still particularly in regards to our relationships. Libra encouraging us to evaluate existing partnerships and focus on balance and harmony where possible and healthy. This influence complements Pisces by highlighting the importance of empathy and emotional intelligence in our connections with others.

    Aries Libra Eclipse Series 2023, 2024 and 2025

    All in all what I am trying to say is this is part of the whole chapter series of Aries Libra energy 5 of 6 which which are complete, so have a listen to these dates to reflect upon what is going on in your life, particularly patterns and themes repeating themselves keeping in mind lunar is endings and solar is beginnings. Furthermore if you know more about your astrology you may want to see where you have placements in Aries or Libra, even if you don’t collectively we are all impacted by this energy.

    You may want to pause the episode to allow yourself to do so and I’ll also be finishing this episode with journal prompts.

    Aries Libra Eclipse Karma Information

    It goes without saying there’s a karmic undertone to eclipse series. I had an episode back in March alluding to this so to recap and bring back to the forefront with the Aries Libra eclipse series; as it highlights themes of independence (Aries) and relationships (Libra). During this time, karmic patterns related to self versus others, autonomy, and partnership come to the forefront. Here’s how karma may play a role in this dynamic in your life:

    Balancing Self and Relationships

     Aries represents the self—individual desires, ambitions, and assertiveness. Libra, on the other hand, symbolises relationships, harmony, and cooperation. The eclipses in this series often bring karmic lessons where individuals are asked to strike a balance between personal independence and the needs of others. This can manifest as karmic situations where past imbalances in relationships, power dynamics, or self-sacrifice are brought up for resolution.

    Revisiting Old Patterns

     Eclipses have a way of revealing unresolved karma, often by bringing up people or situations from the past that trigger similar themes of individuality versus compromise. For example, if someone has been overly independent or neglectful of their relationships, this eclipse series may force them to address the consequences of that imbalance. Conversely, those who have struggled with setting boundaries or asserting their needs in partnerships might find themselves pushed to step into their personal power. Often people from the past can resurface, it’s important to tune in have they truly changed? Their actions? Their intentions so of course… 

    Karmic Relationships

     This eclipse series may highlight karmic relationships—those connections where lessons are learned and patterns from past lives or earlier in this life are revisited. These relationships may surface during the eclipses, offering an opportunity to resolve old debts or heal wounds that have carried through cycles of reincarnation or life experiences.

    Action vs. Peace, Force vs. Surender

    Aries is a sign of bold action, while Libra seeks peace and balance. The karmic lesson here often revolves around knowing when to act and when to surrender. Those who have karmic imbalances in this area may find the eclipse series pushing them toward situations that force them to confront these dynamics, teaching them the importance of timing and intention in their actions and relationships.

    Why am I emotional during eclipses?

    Given all this, it’s common to  experience emotional waves—intense feelings may surface as old wounds are reopened, new ones that arise. This can be uncomfortable but is also a vital part of the healing process. Allow yourself to feel these emotions without judgment. It’s the perfect time to reflect in however you choose to do that such as journaling or meditating. 

    Even look at what is going on globally collectively, we are in very much a dense upheaval phase, if you’re listening to this you’re likely an empath so very much feeling it too. Think about the nature of eclipses. An eclipse occurs when one celestial body moves into the shadow of another. In a lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks the sun’s light from reaching the moon, while in a solar eclipse, the moon obscures the sun’s light. Things are being illuminated on a global scale for example think about celebrities and what is coming to light or trying to be buried and hidden.

    This dance of light and shadow symbolises the cycles of illumination and darkness we experience within ourselves. Just as eclipses bring temporary obscuration, we often face periods in our lives where clarity feels out of reach, and our path seems shrouded in shadow.

    Letting go during eclipses

    One of the most significant themes associated with eclipses is the process of letting go. Things, people, opportunities whatever out of alignment will get ‘eclipsed.’ Eclipses prompt us to release what no longer serves us—whether that’s limiting beliefs, stagnant relationships, or outdated patterns. This release can feel heavy and dense, like a weight we’ve carried for too long. However, just as the moon eventually reveals its light after an eclipse, we too can emerge lighter and more liberated on the other side of our letting go.

    Upheaval and the unexpected durign eclipses

    During this time in between eclipses, it’s common to experience a sense of upheaval or disruption. Unexpected events may surface, forcing us to confront what we’ve been avoiding or perhaps has been hidden in the shadows. While this can feel uncomfortable, it is also an opportunity for profound growth and transformation. The heaviness we feel often indicates that we’re shedding layers of old energy, clearing the way for new possibilities. 

    What I’ve really noticed amplified particularly in this season is the unexpected which you would see in my Instagram posts of late. When we encounter surprises during an eclipse, it’s essential to lean into the uncertainty rather than resist it. The universe is presenting us with an opportunity to align more closely with our true and highest selves. Embracing the unexpected allows us to adapt and grow in ways we might not have anticipated, leading to new paths and insights.

    Coming back to yourself and truth

    On a final note intuitively what I feel the flavour right now is a sense of things happening or coming to an end that you essentially knew already was coming. Coming back to your true self and what you truly want. Perhaps its a truth you’ve perhaps been avoiding or not fully acknowledging. 

    Life often has a way of circling us back to things we’ve always known deep down. We get caught in distractions, in the stories and expectations placed upon us, but there’s always a quiet inner voice—one that whispers the truths we don’t want to face. When you reach that point where things are coming to an end, it’s not a surprise, because somewhere within, you already knew this was inevitable. It’s that sense of déjà vu, that realisation that what is unfolding was always written into the path, waiting for you to see it clearly.

    As things shift and close, there’s also a homecoming—coming back to your true self, the part of you that knew what you truly desired all along. It’s a time of unlearning and stripping away what no longer serves you, so you can stand in your authenticity once more. This space, the void   invites you to reflect on what you truly want, beyond the noise, beyond the expectations. It’s the raw truth that was always there, waiting for you to claim it.

    October solar eclipse 2024 energy

    This process is both a release and a renewal—a shedding of layers and a return to the core of who you are, the dreams you hold, and the life you’ve always known was yours to live.

    Thus kicks off the October new moon solar eclipse on the 2nd presents an opportunity for new beginnings and manifesting. In this phase, take time to set clear intentions for what you want to manifest in your life. What new projects, relationships, or experiences do you wish to invite in? 

    Practical tips eclipse season

    What can really help during the in between is tapping into your intuition. The energy of the lunar eclipse has likely heightened your awareness, making it easier to connect with your inner wisdom. Spend quiet moments in reflection or meditation, asking yourself questions like, “What does my heart truly desire?” and “What steps can I take to align with my authentic self?” Trust the insights that come to you during this time. I’ve found revisiting your human design to be super helpful for many clients I am working with too.

    As we navigate this transformative energy, it is so important to ground ourselves in nature whether its a beachside walk or sitting in your garden or the park, nature helps us connect with the Earth’s rhythms. It reminds us that just as the seasons change, so too can we embrace our personal transformations with grace and resilience.

    Lunar Solar Eclipse journaling prompts

    Here are some journaling prompts to help you gain further insight into what’s going on for you personally during this time;

    What is life asking you to release right now? Reflect on any feelings or situations that surface. Are there recurring patterns or attachments that no longer align with your higher self? Think about how letting go could open space for new possibilities and personal growth.

    Which areas of your life feel imbalanced? Take a moment to evaluate aspects like work, relationships, or self-care. What emotions arise when you focus on these areas? Consider how restoring balance could improve your overall well-being and happiness.

    Have you experienced anything unexpected recently? Reflect on your feelings around these events. Often, surprises offer valuable lessons. How might these experiences be guiding your personal growth or encouraging you to embrace transformation?

    Eclipse relationship love dating journaling prompts

    What beliefs or habits related to love and relationships should you let go of? Identify limiting beliefs that may be holding you back from deeper connections. How have these shaped your past, and what might change if you released them? Imagine the kind of love and relationships you want to invite into your life and how releasing these patterns could support that.

    Are there relationships in my life that feel ‘karmic’—where lessons seem to repeat or feel heavy? How can you approach these relationships with more awareness and compassion?

    What are the recurring challenges or conflicts you experience in connections and partnerships? How could they be tied to past actions or decisions?

    Are there past relationships or experiences where you feel unfinished business? What might you need to release, forgive, or understand to move forward?

    How do any fears of being alone or overly dependent affect your decisions in this Aries and Libra eclipse series?

    Where do you need to set or strengthen boundaries? Reflect on any relationships or situations that leave you feeling depleted or overwhelmed. What boundaries could help protect your energy and support your well-being?

  • To let go…

    To let go is to trust the universe’s plan for your life, knowing that every ending is a doorway to a new beginning.

    To let go means to recognise that change is a natural part of life.

    To let go means to accept the lessons learned without dwelling on the pain.

    To let go means to stop trying to control outcomes and allow life to unfold.

    To let go means to free yourself from past regrets.

    To let go means to release the fear of the unknown.

    To let go means to lighten your heart and create space for joy.

    To let go means to acknowledge that endings are merely beginnings in diguise.

    Letting go is never easy, especially if it doesn’t feel to be on our terms or timeline.

    The process… journey often brings up feelings of uncertainty, fear, and even resistance.

    When life pushes us to release what we hold dear, it can feel like we’re being yanked from our comfort zones, leaving us grappling with a sense of loss.

    We may find ourselves longing to clinging tightly to what is familiar, even if it no longer serves our highest good.

    This discomfort highlights the struggle between our desire for security and the inherent need for growth and transformation.

    There is so much growth in letting go if we acknowledge our feelings and allow ourselves to grieve the loss.

    Letting go doesn’t mean we have to suppress our emotions; it’s an invitation to process them fully which is not easy.

    I hope you honour what is changing, honour your emotions and honour what’s coming on the other side 🌕

  • The sun still rises

    Maintaining hope during difficult times doesn’t mean pretending everything is fine when it isn’t. It means acknowledging the pain and feelings while still choosing to believe in a better future.

    Hope fuels resilience, helping you bounce back from setbacks and build your inner strength. Each challenge faced is a testament to your ability to persevere, even when the odds seem stacked against you. In the midst of a tough season, it’s important to remind yourself that these moments won’t last forever.

    Challenges are temporary, even if they feel overwhelming in the present. Just as the sun rises after the darkest night, so too will you find light after periods of turbulence and uncertainty.

    Every person, no matter how successful, wealthy, or seemingly happy, faces moments of difficulty.

    It’s easy to look at others and assume their lives are free from hardship, but beneath the surface, everyone experiences their own struggles.

    We often compare our worst moments to someone else’s best, but this comparison is neither fair nor accurate.

    The truth is… life’s challenges are universal. They are part of being human. In a way this can be comforting to know.

    What matters most is not avoiding difficulty, pain or hardship, but how you choose to respond to it.

    One choice and aspect is to hold onto hope, there is healing and joy to come. What’s important is to have support and find aligned ways of healing and moving forward for you. You don’t have to do this alone and you aren’t meant to ❤️‍🩹

  • To be human…

    To be human is to feel and flow with life – to experience the full spectrum of emotions that surge and retreat, much like the ocean’s tides.

    We are made to move through these feelings, not avoid them. To be human is to honour the vastness of our emotional landscape, just as we honour the ocean’s endless horizon.

    There is beauty in both the storms and the still waters, in the moments of intensity and quiet lulls.

    There is beauty in feeling. There is beauty in healing.

    Feeling and healing create a delicate, dynamic dance. One cannot exist without the other; it is through feeling that we begin to heal, and through healing that we deepen our capacity to feel.

    As we navigate this continuous cycle, we become more compassionate toward ourselves, understanding that both the pain and the joy of life are necessary for our evolution.

    There is beauty in this process, as there is pain — in the way we learn to trust ourselves, lean into our emotions, and believe in our own ability to heal.

    Each moment of feeling and healing brings us closer to a fuller, more authentic expression of who we are meant to be.

    It guides us closer to our truth and aligning to become our
    most aligned and authentic self.

  • In the midst of darkness…

    In the midst of darkness, we often find the strength we never knew we had.
    In the midst of darkness, the power of resilience shines brightest.
    In the midst of darkness, we discover the depths of our inner courage.
    In the midst of darkness, every step forward is a victory worth celebrating.
    In the midst of darkness, the support of others can illuminate our way forward.
    In the midst of darkness, resilience is born from the ashes of our struggles.
    In the midst of darkness, the strength of our spirit shines through the cracks.
    In the midst of darkness, we awaken to the power of gratitude, even for the smallest blessings.
    In the midst of darkness, the seeds of wisdom are planted, waiting to grow when the light returns.

    The darkness forces us to confront what we might normally avoid, asking us to dig deeper into ourselves, into the clarity and reality of what is going on.

    In these moments, we come face-to-face with our everything: vulnerabilities, insecurities, pain, shadows and fears, yet through that truth, we begin to understand ourselves more fully.

    There is a certain rawness to navigating dark times that strips away pretense, allowing us to see our lives, the people we surround ourselves with, values, and choices with greater clarity.

    In the end, the darkness is a part of life’s ebb and flow. In those moments of struggle, we are shaped, refined, and prepared for the next chapter.

    The light that eventually breaks through is brighter for the darkness we’ve endured. So, in the midst of darkness, hold fast to hope, for it is not the absence of light, but the place where light is born anew.

    The light is always there in the darkest of times, sometimes we need a reminder. From my heart and soul to yours, this is your reminder 🌟 you are reading this for a reason 🙏🏽

  • There is wisdom in the heaviness

    Life can feel unbearably heavy, but it’s in these moments you tap into a strength beyond your own.

    You’re not meant to carry everything by yourself. The universe is always supporting you, even when it feels like it’s working against you.

    There is wisdom in the heaviness, in the emotions that feel like they might break you. Sometimes you can’t solve your overwhelm – sometimes life demands you to feel it, let it move through you, and trust that it will shift when it’s ready.

    Life can be unbearably heavy, but that weight isn’t permanent. The heaviness will lift, and when it does, you’ll see just how strong you’ve become.

    How resilient you truly are.

    Important dates related to this current eclipse. Keep reading for more information.

    Eclipses are powerful moments of transformation—times when the universe forces us to confront imbalances. In this Pisces eclipse, feelings of overwhelm, confusion, or even a deep sense of release may rise to the surface. It’s a time of emotional cleansing, where old patterns, especially in relationships and self-identity, may be washed away.

    Pisces, being the final sign of the zodiac, symbolises the end of a cycle. This is a moment to release and navigate everything that’s been weighing on your soul, to trust in new beginnings that are unfolding. It’s a time to allow yourself to feel deeply and intuitively, to let emotions flow without restriction.

    It’s easy to get lost in the confusion or heaviness that Pisces energy can bring, but this moment is about surrender. Feel the emotions that come up, knowing that they are here to guide you through this transition. As old patterns and energies dissolve, trust that what is emerging will be more aligned with your highest self.

    The last time we had eclipses of this flavour was between 2015 and 2017 — take a moment to reflect and see what was happening in your life then. Particularly around 16 September 2016. What are you releasing and letting go of?

  • Have the faith to surrender

    In the hardest of times, I may have the faith to surrender. To release the grip, the plan and fear.

    May I let go of what I cannot change, and instead keep my heart open to embrace the unknown. May I trust that there is wisdom in the unfolding and unlearning, even when it all feels unclear.

    When life’s waves crash relentlessly over me, may I have the strength to pause and simply breathe. To feel the rise and fall of my chest as a reminder that I am still here.

    I am capable of moving through the storm. That I am not defined by the turbulence, but by the quiet power within me.

    This is your sign. To hold on. That everything is going to be okay.

    In the moments of doubt, may you remember the light that still flickers within you, always.

    Even when the darkness seems to take over or seem a lot, may you remember the light always and the flames of hope, faith and optimism.

    Your soul is resilient and has weathered so many storms.

    Give yourself permission to rest, to seek support, to be kind, loving and compassionate with yourself.

    I believe in you 🧡 you’ve got this 🕯️

  • It’s time to explore new possibilities

    Life’s curveballs were never meant to derail you but to refine you, shaping you into a stronger, more resilient version of yourself.

    They force you out of your comfort zone and the plans you had for yourself. Life initiates you into a deeper journey of self growth and discovery, one that is often far more profound than the paths you had carefully and meticulously planned.

    When things don’t go as expected, you are given the opportunity to meet life with new eyes, to explore possibilities you hadn’t considered before. These curveballs are an initiation into trust – not just in life’s unfolding but in your own capacity to rise and thrive through the unknown.

    Curveballs crush rigid structures and beliefs that keep you confined, making room for new, aligned opportunities to emerge.

    It’s through these unexpected twists that you are refined, stretched beyond your old limits, and encouraged to grow in ways you wouldn’t have chosen for yourself. The refinement process is one of unlearning, letting go of what no longer serves you, and welcoming what is meant for your higher path.

    Each curveball sharpens your intuition, deepens your sense of self, and strengthens your adaptability. You begin to realise that life’s challenges don’t diminish you—they reveal your true power.

    With each moment, you find yourself more capable, more attuned to your inner wisdom, and more confident in your ability to navigate the unexpected. This resilience becomes a foundation from which you can build, not just survive, but thrive in any circumstance.

    When you embrace the twists and turns, you learn that they were never meant to knock you off course, but to guide you toward your highest potential.

  • A new chapter

    A new chapter is uncharted territory and now you’re standing at the edge of something new. The discomfort you feel is simply a sign that you’re evolving.

    It’s okay to feel the fear, but don’t let it stop you. Your courage to embrace the unknown is what sets you apart and opens door you never thought possible.

    Trust yourself enough to take imperfect action, knowing that every small move forward brings you closer to the life you’re meant to live.

    You’ve been preparing for this, even if it doesn’t feel like it. Growth isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about leaping into the unknown, trusting your path, and becoming the most powerful, aligned and authentic version of yourself.

    This next chapter is about stepping into your power and living in full alignment and authenticity with who you are meant to be.

    It’s not about playing small or holding yourself back because of old fears or doubts.

    The moments that challenge you, that stretch you, that make you question everything, are the very moments that will shape you into the most resilient, unshakable version of yourself.

    Each chapter before this one holds so much wisdom should you let it, reflect upon it and integrate it.

    So, as you turn the page, remember this: your story is uniquely yours, and it’s unfolding exactly as it’s meant to. Trust the process, trust yourself, and know that the best is truly yet to come despite how it may feel leading up to it and now in this moment.

    Here’s to you 🧡

  • Here’s to September…

    September is the month of the radical and the unexpected, a time when life invites us to break free from the familiar and explore new horizons. 

    There’s an electric current running beneath the surface, urging you to lean in and embrace change. It’s a season of surprises, where plans may take sudden turns, and new opportunities can arise from unexpected places.

    This energy encourages you to let go of rigid expectations and open yourself to possibilities that hadn’t yet considered. The radical can be as scary as it is liberating.

    Here’s to having the courage to walk down paths previously never considered or imagined.

    Radical transformation doesn’t always mean external change; it can also be deeply internal.

    This is a month for awakening dormant parts of ourselves, the subconscious, the shadows to shake off old beliefs, and step into a more empowered version of who you are.

    It’s about radical self-acceptance, shedding layers of doubt, and realizing that the unexpected moments often carry the seeds of our greatest growth.

    September holds the potential for a profound personal revolution, but it requires a willingness to be open, flexible, and resilient. What seems like a disruption may very well be the universe’s way of guiding us toward our next chapter. No matter what our mind thinks and conceive. Trust, have faith and surrender 🎢

    Here’s to you 🧡
