This Week in the Stars (10.21.24 - 10.27.24)

Time to do some pruning 🥀

Tasting Notes: The Week of October 21st - 27th, 2024

The bittersweet moment of pruning the last rose of the season—there’s loss in the air, but also renewal. As the petals fall, you remember the rosehips will soon appear, full of promise.

You know when you have the most profound idea of your life and swear you won’t forget it? This your reminder that it almost always slips your mind - keep your notes app handy at the end of the week.

But, what’s the moon up to?

As the Moon slowly fades, it’s a week for honest reflection. The waning gibbous guides us to shed what no longer serves as we reflect on the illumination of last week’s full moon. We welcome the last quarter moon at the end of the week and are invited to pause and make adjustments.

I’ve gotta be honest, self-employment is a wild world. I jokingly tell people my boss is a bitch. (Me, I'm the bitch). And some weeks that really is true. That Aries Full Moon last week was striking my MC (the very tip-top of your chart that speaks to legacy & purpose and in some people's eyes, career), which is why I suppose I'm having this dive with you.

Growing your business as a self-employed person is a rollercoaster - one day it's Mt. Everest, the next it’s Disneyland. Committing to this Substack earlier this year has been all of that and a bag of chips. I LOVE hearing from you (both virtually and IRL!) about the enjoyment and value you get from what I share. That's why I do this, cause I LOVE sharing astrology with you and witnessing you connect some dots through this ancient language.

However, I'm still human, and recently some weeks have slipped by without me writing anything. And yeah, I feel guilty about that. But also, I'm a one-woman show. Although I'm constantly in the pursuit of growing this little business, it has yet to sustain me full time. I pour my heart into what I share here and ensure that I get 2 posts out a month full of insights and resources that are FREE - because sharing my knowledge in an accessible way is deeply important to me. Everything beyond that is available at a paid tier for the price of one oat milk matcha per month, and I aim to share as much as I can with you. But some months that aim is lower than my ambitions would have liked

I guess I'm going off here to remind you that at the end of the day, I am just one witch on the other end of your screen, doing the best I can. If you too are finding yourself in some big feels this last week, I welcome you in with a warm cup of tea and a hug.

So dear reader, I ask you, how is your heart? How is your relationship to your output? Are you putting too much value on what you produce rather than your sweet human heart and its needs? What is the power dynamic between how you value yourself vs. your output? I currently find myself in a state of rebalancing with all the above and invite you to do the same.

We move into Scorpio Season this week, which invites us to sit in the deep waters of contemplation and feel our feelings. However, before that happens the Sun at 29° Libra will square off with Pluto at 29° Capricorn, really amping up the feeling of living in a pressure cooker. This is a peak moment as we navigate this final pruning that Pluto has to offer through November 19th. Consider what needs to go so you can grow. Now let us dig into the week ahead…
