First of all, a huge thank you to all of you whoβve been coming to my cacao ceremonies, for making this year extra special and magical.
With the introduction of Cacao into my life, I never expected to be someone who had the honor to share this medicine with others. It was the perfect fit with my soul and destiny. It's still mind-boggling to me β it came so suddenly and unexpectedly into my life!
It goes to show you that with patience, persistence, and trust β anything can happen. Which are all traits of Capricorn (I love being in my birthday season π₯°)
The uncertainty we tend to be afraid of in the future⦠is actually an incredible gift! Great things will reveal themselves. What if we always looked at it that way?
Without you all showing up, the ceremonies wouldn't have happened, so I'm extremely grateful for your trust and your adventurous spirits for making your way to these healing experiences. Every ceremony had its own constellation and flavor, and it's been so beautiful to witness β while personally being able to grow, learn and flourish through each single one. So thank you all so much. ππΌππΌππΌππΌ
A note about the New Year and the energies of this time:
While I love celebrating New Years and it can occur as an exciting time for new intentions and to get the ball rolling on them, we are actually in a season of stillness, going inward and restoration.
We are in the earthy energy of Capricorn π at this time (grounding, calming, steady), not a fiery π₯ one.
If you want to get the ball rolling, you'll really start to feel it at the Spring Equinox⦠the natural new year. The start of the astrological season which begins with the cardinal sign Aries. The universe's time of new beginnings, as the seasons show us.
And to add to that FYI we are currently in Mars AND Mercury retrograde, with a full moon in Cancer coming Friday.
All the signs are pointing to slowing down, going inward, settling, reflecting, restructuring, and self-care. Planning our way towards our goals and dreams and aspirations.
So⦠there's no need to push yourself, incase you are.
I am practicing the art of slowing down. Trusting, surrendering, letting go of any need to force things into existence.
Gently, does it!
Until then, here are some tips on how to experience this Capricorn season:
Be patient
Set your goals and create the actions steps needed to get there
Balance work and life
Make time for breaks
Check in to see if what you're doing is connected to your purpose
Find practices that will help you focus (and remove distractions)
Mars Retrograde ends January 12th (plus a post shadow period), and after that we will have way more energy to act and integrate what we have been learning since the retrograde started on October 30th.
As the full moon in Cancer is coming up this friday, really take care of yourself this week and see what it is that you need to Center yourself and bring in the stillness and calm of the winter.
"Celebrate the first Full Moon of 2023 and let go of anything you don't want to bring in the New Year. Perfectly timed, this Full Moon brings us the opportunity to honor our emotions as we step into a new vibration. The energy of Cancer helps us turn inward to restore, recharge, and replenish our spirit. It is an invitation to pause, sit with yourself, and align with your roots. It is also a time of deep release as we make space for positive frequencies to come into our world throughout 2023. This is the Moon to get into touch with what brings you joy, relieves your worries and helps you create a life of balance and soul fulfillment."
