94. Letting Yourself Have Your Own Experience - Contemplating The Week of 08.28.23

What shifts when we make space for our own experience to be valid? How might returning to our selves help us turn toward the world more fully, in deeper participation? What might our relationship with astrology reveal about our relationship with systems larger than ourselves?

In this offering, I'm sharing my personal notes and contemplations about the week ahead. Combining astrology, tarot, the Akashic & Cosmic Body perspectives, and guidance from my sacred ancestors, healing guides and my own spirit, I hope these messages will serve you as you walk your path.

While this contemplation was inspired by the energy and the astrology of the week of 08.28.23, I also offer the possibility that the message here is relevant for you - even if you found the episode sometime in the future. 

This week opens with Uranus going retrograde, leading us into peak retrograde seasons with 6 retrograde planets. In the middle of the week, we have the Full Moon in Pisces. The week ends with Venus stationing direct. 

The cards I pulled for this week are Ace of Swords and Justice from Serpentfire Tarot. You can see the photo of the cards here. 

I also read a passage from Rick Rubin's The Creative Act.

I mentioned Diana Rose Harper's article "How Personal is This Retrograde?"
