☀️ Curate your life | Solar Eclipse & New Moon in Virgo
It's Elayna Ayo, here to welcome you to a meaningful pause to support you in evolving intentionally.
Life Updates: Disc Golf is now my favorite meditative activity (I'm gettin' good yall!), still job hunting and prepping my home to be rented.
There's so much happening 😵💫🚀⚡️
Hey Star ✨ There’s so much goin' on right now around the world from the US to France to Indonesia, and there’s a lot happening in the sky as well. We have our interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS passing through our solar system right now (NASA Science). There's this feeling of the unknown that's really heavy right now. We don't know what this object is, we don't know what's next for the changes our countries around the world, and you may have several things up in the air in your life.
What's helping me stay grounded the most is reminding myself that we will make it through with love and care (for ourselves and one another).
👏🏽 Celebrate life & love
To support my community energetically and spiritually, I'm hosting a Gospel Brunch at TaterQue in Pflugerville on September 28, 2025, from 11 am to 3pm. I'm thrilled for this opportunity to bring folks together to fellowship and praise God!

☀️A season of Uncomfortable Freedom
The way we will make it through love and care this fall is to feel through our feelings and make our way back to love over and over again. If you're going through feelings of uncomfortableness consider what you could do to take a step forward, and is that step uncomfortable? If it is, it just might be the step to take. I recently channeled the phrase "Uncomfortable Freedom" and it's been sticking to my heart and mind. This idea that staying the same will be uncomfortable and changing to expand into more freedom will also be uncomfortable as well.

🪐Closing out eclipse season astrology guide
With the an eclipse here today, a new moon, and this interstellar visitor lighting up headlines, I wanted to share experiments you can try as a way to center yourself, to move energetically and practically through this energy. May this guide steward your internal and external environment.
♍︎ Your Dramatic Reset: Solar Eclipse & New Moon in Virgo
I've been doing my best to get things more Virgo in my life before this massive eclipse and new moon. What a combo!. From finishing up outstanding paperwork and clearing the rooms in my house so that I can rent it out (I'm still looking for a tenant, if you know anyone, send them my way, elayna@infoldstudios.com), I'm really inviting in that clean, Virgoan energy into my space. Virgo asks for clarity, systems, and ritual. Have you been clearing out for clarity and being cautious of self-criticism?
Things to keep in mind:
This duo in Virgo symbolizes a supercharged reset
You may be experiencing new beginnings and karmic endings, especially around themes of health, routines, and practical self-improvement
For many it will initiate a significant turning point, pushing for clarity and the release of old patterns
Consider setting intentions for a future shaped by your healing and mastery
Use Virgo’s striving-for-excellence energy to prepare and steady yourself because we are still in the middle of planning and transforming with the Chinese astrology's Wood Snake.
Continue to rest well, strategize mindfully, and prepare now so you can perform effectivelyWe are about halfway through the Chinese calendrical arc (Chinese New Year: Feb 17-March 3 2026) So we are still being asked to go deep like the roots of a tree and shed old skin like a snake (if you feel like you and your life has been transforming alot... then you're right on track) Know that your planning will benefit you greatly when the Chinese New Year arrives in Fire Horse! 🔥🐎
May we be rested, resourced, and ready to gallop. So continue to rest well, strategize mindfully, and prepare now so you can run later.
Your Virgo Experiment
Below is a flexible experiment you can adapt.
Step 1: Pick 1 or 2 areas of your life to focus on
House
Style
Diet
Schedule
Step 2: Take action
House, Make your physical space feel Virgo: clear surfaces, remove excess, and give each room one clear purpose.
Style, Dress like a Virgo for the seven days: clean silhouettes, neutral palette, intentional accessories. Use your outward style as a container for inward clarity.
Diet, Eat like a Virgo for seven days: whole foods, simple meals, a gentle reset, more greens, legumes, simple grains. Notice how digestion, clarity, and energy shift.
Schedule, Organize your daily flow like a Virgo: morning ritual (5–30 minutes), prioritized work blocks, an evening unwind (no screens 60–90 minutes before bed). Set a sacred “do not disturb” block for deep work or rest.
Set 3: Set Mindset guardrails
Protect against Virgo’s self-deprecation. If you feel critical, pivot: ask “What small improvement would honor my energy?” rather than “What’s wrong with me?”
Use this energy to prepare yourself for more change as we continue through this 9 and snake year not a practice for perfectionism. Come at this experiment with the goal of readiness + care.
🤍 My Hope
My hope is that the provisions, prophecies, and patience you need during this season of expectancy are revealed and deeply rooted within your soul. That you may spend more time in silence and away from screens so that you can hear what is necessary for you to hear. My the message make your purpose come alive! May it come alive to support you, your family and community. Thank you for being a frequency holder that can support with the evolution of our culture in our world. May the consciousness of the world rise up for our highest good. Be well, love yourself & keep dreaming 💛
Elayna Ayo
Go Deeper
Get into the Virgo energy with the Relax & Remix journal
Slow down. Clear the clutter. Align with the eclipse. This isn’t just journaling. It’s a Virgo-season practice of precision and renewal , an invitation to study your life as a living blueprint, to sift through the details, and weave the purest threads into something grounded, luminous, unmistakably you.
Rooted in design thinking, agile methods, and proven mindfulness techniques, this journal helps you organize what matters and release what doesn’t, creating space for the quiet insights that arrive when the sky resets.
This is where clarity meets creation. Where a daily check-in becomes a sacred ritual. Where your carefully tended path becomes the new way forward.
Create your rhythm. Track your truth. Remix your reality.

December 2, 2025 Welcome to the Launchpad! This week's edition is behind due to migraines. I hope you enjoy it nonetheless. Thank you for your patience. 🙏🏾 May this message and good news be fuel to your fire of purpose, care, and hope. This is one of those I can’t remember where I heard it, but it arrived right on time kind of quotes.

November 23, 2025 Welcome to the Launchpad! May this message and good news be fuel to your fire of purpose, care, and hope. If there's one durable skill I've noticed as non-negotiable, it's resilience. I refuse to call non-technical skills "soft" anymore. These are the skills that help us endure, and there is nothing soft about them. They take years to cultivate and hone. Being reminded of joy's role in resilience made me grateful for how I've spent my month, dancing the line between effort...
