Y'all, are we really in the last quarter of the year? 😳😯😜

Time is moving swiftly, and there's so much change everywhere. Grounding and discipline are a must in this season cause there's lots of things being revealed and ending. In numerology, it's a 9-year (completion), and we are now in the 9th month (double completion energy). And Tuesday is a 9-day (triple completion energyyyyy ⚡️😵‍💫)
​
​What is unfinished in your life? Yes, pause to journal if you're a journaler. 😆 Whether you're getting into your back to school schedule or participating in "The Great Lock-In" (aka fighting distractions and devoting yourself fully to your goals, me cheering you on). The astrology has some valuable recommendations for how we can navigate this time 🚀👏🏽🥺.
​
It's a season to take care of what we committed ourself to in the first quarter of the year (specifically in March) and last September... Do you remember?? 🎶 . I'll talk more about the stars in a bit.

♟ The Game Of Life

On my social's I've shared a channeled message about the Game of Life: Part One & Part Two​

With the times changing rapidly, what we allow our mind to think is more important than ever. The thoughts are either in support of the Home team or the Away team. The Away team is taking us away from our home (self, earth that we want to create, etc). So, how might we harmonize with the universe at this time?

I'd like to submit for your consideration... storytelling.

And here's a story inspired by a message I channeled, to illustrate the experience of casting out stories in our Universe.

🎣 The Parable of the Fisher

There was once a fisher who came to the water, pole in hand and stories in their heart. They planted their feet firmly on the earth, feeling the ground beneath them as steady as an ancestor’s hand. They understood that fishing was not just about the catch, but about the practice, the story that lived behind every cast of the line.

Fishing was a practice of patience, of trust, of becoming. So they cast their line, and with each cast they wove a story into the bait.

The fisher knew that each story they told about their life was the bait on the hook. The richness of the story was what drew possibility closer, what lured the unseen toward the surface. So they crafted stories, stories of expansion, of joy, of becoming.

Some days, the bait was taken quickly, snatched away by unseen currents, leaving the fisher with only the ripples of what could have been. Some days, the bait was taken, and the fisher pulled back an empty line. Other days, the line hung still, no tug, no movement, just silence on the water. The line dangled in stillness, the water offering no reply. And still, the fisher remained.

Patient.

Willing.

Rooted.

They understood that not every bait would bring a catch. Sometimes the dream slips away before it can be reeled in. But even then, the practice mattered, the practice of shaping new, rich stories, casting them again and again into the waters of possibility.

They learned to change the bait, to craft richer, more nourishing stories. Still, sometimes the bait dissolved into the current without bringing anything back. Other times a tug came but the fish slipped away.

But the fisher understood, this was not failure. This was practice.

For the fisher knew: it is not only the catch that transforms us, but the patience with the pole in our hand, the discipline to stay when the line is quiet, the faith to believe in what cannot yet be seen. Because each story, each cast, was a seed in the unseen waters. Each patient pause at the water’s edge was a lesson in becoming the kind of person who could hold the weight of what they were asking for.

The fisher whispered stories of expansion, of joy, of possibility. They told themselves that their life was wide enough to carry the abundance they sought. They told the water, and the water listened.

One day, as the fisher stood steady, they felt a tug, subtle at first, then insistent, undeniable. The fisher’s heart quickened as they steadied the pole, remembering all the still days, all the silent waters, all the moments of waiting.

They did not rush.

They continued to remember the still days, the empty days, the quiet practice.

They breathed.

They held firm.

They reeled slowly, steadily, knowing that what was on the line was not only a fish but the embodiment of every story they had ever told, every dream they had dared to cast into the waters.

They were ready. Their patience had prepared them. Their stories had prepared them.

As the fisher drew the line in, they saw clearly: life itself is this way. A constant story we are telling ourselves and living. Some days the story drifts out without return. Some days the waters are silent. And then, when the time comes, the tug arrives, the moment where the story becomes flesh, where the dream takes form.

As they looked at the fish they knew it was not just a fish, it was the embodiment of every story they had told, every moment they had chosen to believe in something greater than the silence.

The fisher’s life, like all of ours, was not just a story told, but a story lived. A story written line by line, cast by cast, until the waters answered back.

So the fisher teaches us: craft your stories richly, cast them with patience, and stand steady with the pole in hand. For when the tug comes, your story will have prepared you to receive what you are ready to hold.

And so it is. ✨

🐟The Fisher Story: A Meditation on Patience, Story, and Becoming

This is my first voice recording of an original channeled story created simply on my phone, but carrying the depth of spirit, ancestry, and practice. You can listen as a meditation, a story to return to, or a reminder of how our lives are lines we cast into the waters of possibility.

✨Your Experiment

• Free write daily for 3-5 minutes about the life you are choosing to live. Write the story of your dream life in present tense.
• If you have the Relax & Remix journal, this is already part of your practice.
• After you write, pause. Connect to the emotion you want to embody, the emotion that aligns with your story, and feel it fully.

🪐The Sky for September

New Moon in Virgo (August 22 & September 21)
​As I mentioned at the beginning, this month is about getting things done, discipline... we gotta fall in love with discipline. It's here to love us back and help us close loop. The new moon in Virgo on August 22 really kicked this off hard. The energy was strong: purge what's cluttering your life and set intentions rooted in clarity, wellness, and structure. This cosmic sandwich of time till the next new moon will urge us to clean up our physical space, personal habits, and mental clutter.

​
​Saturn Retrograding in Pisces (September 1 - November 27)
​With Saturn retrograding in Pisces, it's clear that the structures we're creating, need to be compassionate ones because we are probably returning to something that didn't get closure earlier this year. Saturn was in Pisces back around March 29. Look and see where Pisces is in your chart to get some clarity around what it might be. If you need assistance with reading your chart, you can book a call with me.

​
​Eclipse Season (Total Lunar in Pisces "Blood Moon": Sept. 7 & Partial Solar in Virgo: Sept. 21)
​And right there to amplify the energy is an eclipse in Pisces and Virgo. (I'm a Pisces sun and Virgo rising... so I'm like 👀 ok I gotta do the work!) So you may feel like time is speeding up and the decisions feel very important or urgent. What's most important is that you make a definitive choice. This is not the time to be wishy-washy. And if there's some reflection that you need to do to move through this... please take the time to do that.

​
You can learn more about this in depth with our good friend Chani Nicholas. Reading astrology has helped me be care for myself since 2020. With it I'm able to ride the waves of change with greater awareness. I hope these nuggets support your life strategy and help you evolve with intention.

🤍 My Hope

May we think our thoughts
May choose to think instead of drifting
May we mindfully think
be
breathe
Amen. Asé. And so it is.

​
Be well, love yourself & keep dreaming 💛
