FALLING THROUGH TIME
tonight the moon rests in scorpio, hidden from view. this piece came to me as a descent: a figure made of stars, falling through the dark, held by something larger than herself.
in traditional astrology, the moon is in her fall here. she longs for comfort, and scorpio asks her to go deeper, into the places we usually keep tucked away. it can feel tender + it can feel freeing.
and the timing feels meaningful. the world is spinning fast, and so much has been stirred up in the collective. many of us are longing for space to integrate + rest. the moon’s descent reminds us that there are places that catch us as we fall, in our bodies and in the quiet moments we allow ourselves. the question is, are we still enough to notice?
BENEATH THE SURFACE
a new moon is the darkest night of the lunar cycle, and this one in scorpio arrives with real intensity. old feelings may rise to the surface, and with them comes a strong pull to react. this is the moment to pause. slow down + rest before the next step.
below the falling figure, a butterfly carries the truth that transformation begins in the dark, long before the wings appear. two hands reach toward the same moment, one in shadow and one in light, a reminder that we hold both and that each one belongs.
scorpio is the archetype of depth + renewal. it asks us to look honestly at what we’ve been holding onto, and to notice which patterns are rooted in fear and which are rooted in truth. from that honesty, a new intention can take hold. every seed spends time underground before it rises, and the choices we make now shape what grows. which seed are you tending to?
A DESCENT RITUAL
gather:
a candle
a blank page
a pen or any drawing tool you love
a quiet corner where you can settle
steps:
light your candle and take a few slow breaths, letting each exhale soften your shoulders + settle your body.
when you feel ready, let your hand wander freely across the page, following each mark wherever it leads. stay with it for a minute or two.
look at what appeared, and circle one mark that catches your eye.
write the first word it brings. this is your seed.
place the page somewhere you’ll see it, and tend to that word through this new cycle, all the way to the full moon.
UNTIL THE FULL MOON
wherever you are in your own cycle, i hope you can meet yourself gently here, in the dark where every beginning starts.
as the year draws to a close, maybe your seed is asking for space to grow. the studio schedule is open for private bookings, and i would love to bring this work to you. perhaps it’s a ritual in your own home, or a gathering where the people you love can slow down + drop in together. if something is stirring, let’s create it. please take a moment to explore what’s possible here: [private events guide]
and if you’re longing for a steady space to keep tending your seed, soul circle is my virtual healing arts therapy group, where we create + reflect together from wherever you are. the launch date is coming soon!
