The Divine Balance
The Essential Roles of Masculine and Feminine Energies
Hey Beautiful Souls,
Welcome back to the blog! I just want to take a moment to say thank you for the love, feedback, and support on my last post—it truly means the world to me.
As I shared in the previous post, as the masculine energy rises, I will continue to bring you updates and messages I receive from The Divine.
There’s something important I feel called to address today—the attack on the phrase “Christ is King.” I don’t usually label myself as religious because I find wisdom in so many different spiritual traditions. It’s similar to how different cultures have their own beliefs, foods, clothing, and languages. We explore these cultures, fall in love with their food, and embrace the beauty in their uniqueness.
To me, religion is the same. I love learning about different belief systems. When you look beyond the labels, we’re all under the power of GOD. The name doesn’t matter—it’s about the connection we have with The Divine and recognizing GOD as the Higher Power.
Right now, we’re in the middle of Lent (March 5-April 17) and Ramadan (February 28-March 30), two sacred times where souls are fasting and praying, deepening their connection to The Higher Power.
And yet, during this sacred time, we’re seeing people claim that saying “Christ is King” is somehow being labeled as hate speech. Have you noticed this? Why do you think this is happening?
I believe it’s because people are starting to build a deeper relationship with Christ. The word “Christ” means The Anointed One. As people draw closer to Christ—the Anointed One, The Higher Power, GOD—the enemy loses its hold on them. The more we connect with the divine, the harder it becomes for any negative force to influence us. And that’s why it’s so important for us to develop discernment.
This all connects to the Divine Masculine Rising. We’ll dive deeper into that soon, but before we do, don’t fall for this. Now is the time for us to unite. We all know there’s a Higher Power at work—the GOD of LOVE. LOVE is the answer to everything. The only way to release hate is through LOVE. We all know this deep down.
In Colossians 2:16-19, Paul reminds us not to let others judge us for things like what we eat, drink, or the rituals we observe. These are just external symbols of a deeper truth—Christ. He also warns against falling into false spirituality, where people claim to have special knowledge or visions but lose their connection to Christ, the true source of growth. This message feels especially relevant today as many of us explore our own spiritual paths. Paul reminds us that faith is personal, and as long as we stay rooted in love and aligned with God, the opinions of others don’t dictate our journey. True spirituality isn’t about following rules; it’s about staying connected to what truly matters-Christ.
As we discussed, masculinity is rooted in logic, and as the masculine energy awakens, so does that logic. On the other hand, the feminine energy is rooted in feelings and emotions. This is why in traditional households, you’ll often see the masculine energy guiding with logic, while the feminine leads with emotion. Both are essential. It’s the balance of head and heart that creates harmony in the home. This is why a two-parent household can offer more balance than a single-parent one.
Masculine energy loves to solve problems, which is why they make such great thinkers and leaders. To my Feminine readers—doesn’t it feel amazing to call on a man in your life and ask him to solve a problem for you? It’s like a weight is lifted—no more overthinking every step or trying to figure it all out. Some things we love to solve ourselves, but other things? Definitely better left to the masculine.
As I’ve been noticing, you’ll start to see it too—the feminine energy praising the masculine on social media. Here are a few examples:
In my last post, I mentioned,
“The masculine has a bigger role than us right now, we must let them embody that.”
Let’s take a moment to dive into scripture. Ephesians 5:22-33 offers wisdom on spirit-guided relationships between wives and husbands.
Understanding the Roles of Masculine and Feminine Energy in Ephesians 5:22-33
The Feminine Role: Submission in Trust and Love
The feminine energy submits and trusts, not from weakness, but out of love and respect for the masculine leadership. It’s a partnership built on mutual respect.
The Masculine Role: Sacrificial Love and Leadership
The masculine energy leads with sacrificial love, guiding with strength, compassion, and wisdom, creating a space for the feminine to thrive.
The Masculine’s Role as the Head: A Sacred Responsibility
The husband’s role as the head is a sacred responsibility, leading with love and reflecting Christ’s sacrificial care, creating space for growth and harmony.
The Mystery of Union: Masculine and Feminine Energy as One
The union of masculine and feminine energies is a divine mystery, two forces coming together to create balance, unity, and a strong foundation.
Conclusion: The Masculine’s Important Role
The masculine role is foundational to relationships and to the world. The husband is called to lead with sacrificial love, creating a safe space where the feminine can trust, align, and thrive. This role isn’t about superiority—it’s about reflecting Christ’s love, bringing peace, and fostering growth. When both the masculine and feminine energies are in balance, it creates harmony not just in relationships but across the planet. This balance is essential for the well-being of the collective, bringing unity, healing, and alignment to the world.
All jokes aside, take a moment to scroll back up and notice how many lines are highlighted in pink versus green! The masculine energy plays such an important role here...
Feminine - Self-trust is essential. When you trust yourself, you’ll naturally trust the masculine energies at play. You’ll understand their role and why they’re necessary.
The masculine is called to protect and stand up for GOD/Christ is King! In doing so, the masculine also protects the feminine and children. This brings us back to the core of this post.
As the masculine fights, what happens to the feminine and children? The feminine steps up, nurturing and raising the next generations. We often hear, “Children are the future,” and it’s true—they are.
Parents, Please Listen:
Our generation has awakened to the trauma that has shaped our planet. We understand the impact of generational trauma, something our parents did not have the words or awareness to address. We’ve broken those cycles because we know that the generations that follow will not be blinded by the darkness. We’ve brought the light.
Your children are growing, especially as the seasons shift!
Your boys (masculine energies) will be outside more, playing, getting dirty, eating, and learning. Take the time to listen to them! Pay attention to the little messages they’re trying to share and the guidance they offer. Boy moms, your role is incredibly important right now!
To the girl moms (feminine energies) - you also have a vital role. You’ll be guiding your daughters in embracing feminine energy, understanding the 28-day cycles, protecting her womb, her body, her virtue, and trusting her intuition.
The energies taking place on the planet are for your children - the next generation to come.

Whispers from the Universe
Sacred Messages I’ve Been Receiving
Lately, I’ve been receiving powerful downloads—messages that I’d normally share on my stories. But instead of speaking on them, I’ve been journaling them, sitting with them, and letting them deepen. Now, I feel called to share them with you.
Number 1 - Embracing Divine Timing: This is the time to get excited about how The Divine creates things in our lives. We all have dreams we wish to bring into reality. You’ve heard the saying, 'Ask and it is given.' It’s true! You ask for what you want, and it will come. But here's the catch: you must release the 'when,' 'how,' and 'who' of it all. Your only job is to feel excited about the process without trying to control it.
Number 2 - Ready or Not: We are in a season of Divine Masculine awakening. I’ve been sharing this message since August 2024 and even have an IG highlight discussing the dynamic balance between masculine and feminine energies. Now more than ever, the masculine energy is rising in strength and presence.
Let’s take a step back to see the bigger picture. When Feminine Energy awakened on the planet, it brought both beauty and chaos. Love and healing started pouring in, shifting things on a deep level. But at the same time, some of that energy was loud, wounded, and unbalanced, which unintentionally suppressed the masculine. Many masculine souls felt like they couldn’t fully step into their true power—some withdrew, while others resisted with frustration and anger. But now, things are shifting.
The feminine body is beginning to soften, shifting away from the hustle culture, boss-babe, hyper-independent energy. Not because it was wrong, but because we’ve realized that feminine energy thrives differently. True feminine power isn’t about constant striving—it’s about receiving, resting, playing, and flowing. Now, the Feminine trusts itself so deeply that it’s allowing the Masculine to rise, to lead with both strength and love. And honestly, I’m here for it. I spent so much time in my masculine just trying to survive, but it feels ahhh-mazinggg to lean back and let men lead, support, and guide. It’s a relief not having to carry it all alone.
For example, even in the simplest moments, you can feel the shift happening. I’m sitting at a coffee shop right now, and I just watched this play out. A woman was walking up to the entrance, dressed in her “office dress and heels.” You could see it—she felt confident, empowered, fully in her feminine. At the same time, a man walked by, and even though he wasn’t coming in, he held the door open for her. That small act of service, of showing up in his masculine, empowered him. And you could tell it made her feel even more at ease—her whole face lit up with a smile. It was a simple, effortlyss exchange, yet it carried so much meaning.
Do you know what happens when someone feels truly empowered in their masculine energy? Here are just a few things:
Increased Confidence – Moving with purpose and certainty.
Positive Impact on Relationships – Leading with love, creating harmony in connections.
Better Decision-Making – Trusting oneself and taking action from a grounded place.
Emotional Well-being – Feeling balanced, secure, and at peace within.
Inspiring Others – Encouraging those around them to rise into their own power.
Personal Growth – Continuously evolving and striving to be their best self.
Creating Change – Building, protecting, and leading in ways that uplift others.
We must allow this masculine energy to expand—not in the outdated, “toxic” ways, but in its empowered, divine form.
This is what I heard: It is time to wake up, ready or not. Meaning, this shift is happening whether we’re prepared for it or not. The rise of the empowered masculine is here.
To the fellas (masculine) reading this: Some of you have been playing small, and deep down, you know it. Your heart feels it. Your mind is telling you too, which is why you’re in these internal battles. As the Divine Masculine rises, you must rise with it, or you’ll be left behind. I say this with respect—there’s greatness in you. You’re built to be leaders, thinkers, and guides. But these internal struggles are holding you back, making you weak. You must conquer them. Go to war within yourself.
Back in the day, masculine energy was stronger because boys were sent to fight wars—survival was everything. They knew the importance of being physically strong and mentally sharp. No offense, but there are women out here doing more pushups and pull-ups than some of you. The reason you feel defeated is because you're not yet undefeated. If you don’t adapt to the changes unfolding, you’re going to stay stuck in this place for a long time.
THE TIME IS NOW TO RISE. Break free from the demons that hold you back. Let them go. Stop letting these battles conquer you. The half-ass energy you’ve been giving yourself isn’t going to cut it anymore. You know this.
Now to my ladies (feminine) reading this: Give grace, especially to those who are in the process of rising. Don’t add unnecessary pressure—we tend to do that enough on our own. If you feel or see masculine energy trying to rise (whether it’s your partner, a family member, a friend, or even a stranger), give them the space they need to expand. This energy has been suppressed for so long, and now it’s coming up from deep within. There’s a lot of weight—many rocks have been buried on top. Let them climb through it.
Don’t reach out your hand to pull them up. They have to do this on their own. You can cheer them on, support them, and love them through this process, but don’t interfere with their climb. If your loved one starts pulling away, let them. Masculine energy operates in the mind, logically. They need time to think, process, and realign without feeling the pressure of your energy constantly “doing the most.” Honestly, they just need space to breathe and figure it out.
I know it can feel scary when you feel like they pull away. I remember feeling that way when the masculine energy around me started rising it felt different. But these are the times when you must lean into you. The masculine has a bigger role than us right now, we must let them embody that.
As the masculine energy rises, I’ll keep sharing, but for now, this is all that’s coming through.
Number 3 - Slow Burn: Why are we always in such a rush to get somewhere, to gather all of these things and experiences? I’ll tell you why—we know it’s achievable. Deep down, we understand that we have the power to manifest whatever we desire. We believe in this truth. But when it doesn’t happen instantly, doubt creeps in.
We’ve created a culture that thrives on speed—fast food, fast dating, short TV series, TikTok videos in seconds, quick gratification. Just think about how everything is designed for instant results.
But here’s the truth: We need to slow down. We need to honor the journey. We must trust the process and let go of the need for immediate results. We have to remember the first message—trust Divine Timing. Things will unfold as they are meant to, in their own time. All we have to do is align and have faith in the timing of it all.
Number 4 - Responsibility: You are responsible for everything that happens in your life. No one else can make you feel better or change how you feel unless you allow it. It all starts with you.
You have the power to choose the thoughts you entertain and the actions you take. When you feel out of alignment or notice that you’re slipping out of a good place, don’t stay stuck there.
Remember, you hold the key to your own experience. The power to shift your energy, thoughts, and actions is always within you. The choice is yours. So, the next time you feel out of alignment, take control of you—move, breathe, realign, and remember that you have the ability to bring yourself back to your center. Your life is yours to shape, and it all begins with how you choose to show up in each moment.
Astrology + Spiritual Updates
We’ve officially entered the Spring Equinox!
This is the time when light returns, reminding us of rebirth, renewal, and balance.
During Winter, everything was frozen over, still and quiet. But now, with the snow melting, the ground is waking up. It’s ready to embrace new growth, new energy. This season is all about fresh starts and letting go of what’s been holding us back. Just like nature is starting to shift, it’s the perfect time for us to do the same—clearing space for new beginnings and welcoming in the energy of change.
Watch as the flowers bloom, butterflies flutter by, and even the fairies start to dance in your yard. Of course, only the eye can spot the fairies.
And at the same time, Aries Season kicks off, marking the beginning of the Zodiac New Year!
(Shoutout to all my Aries babies!)
Aries’ positive traits include bravery, directness, fearlyssness, independence, a strong sense of justice, and natural leadership. On the flip side, some of their challenges can be aggression, self-centeredness, pushiness, inconsistency, bad temper, and selfishness.
Aries rules the 1st House, which is all about the self and the body.
With Aries leading the charge and Spring awakening, it's the perfect time for a fresh start both in the astrological year and in nature. Be mindful of both the positive and negative traits of this energy, and check in with how you're showing up in these forces.
This is the time to focus on taking care of your body and putting yourself together. Express yourself through movement—whether it's dancing, exercising, or simply paying attention to the way you carry yourself. Fashion and accessories are also a great way to reveal your energy and personality.
Thank you for taking the time to read and reflect with me. As we step into this new season of growth and renewal, remember to honor your own journey—whether that's embracing the rising masculine energy, nurturing your body, or simply trusting the process of your life unfolding. We've discussed the importance of alignment, of moving with the flow of life, and recognizing the power of both the Spring Equinox and Aries season.
So, let’s stay mindful of the energy we’re embodying, express ourselves fully, and give ourselves grace along the way. Trust that everything is unfolding as it should—no matter how slow or fast it may seem.
Sending you all the love, strength, and empowerment to rise in this season of transformation.
Until next time,

The Art of Manifesting: It’s More Than Just a Vision Board
Have you created your vision board for 2025 yet? Or, are you like me, still gathering inspiration photos and quotes to bring it all together?
I’ve always loved the process of creating vision boards. There’s something so satisfying about cutting out pictures from magazines, using stickers, and bringing little visions to life on paper. I also enjoy creative journaling (if you know, you know!).
My love for vision boards likely started when my Grammy introduced me to scrapbooking. Creating a vision board is a powerful way to take the dreams you hold in your mind and bring them to life on a board you can look at every day. But here's the key: seeing isn’t believing; believing is seeing. Manifestation goes far beyond simply creating a vision board.
The Proof of Manifestation: How My Vision Boards Became Reality
When I look back at the vision boards I’ve created over the years, I’m often amazed at how much has come to life. It’s not just about the pictures or the quotes I’ve chosen—it’s about the energy, intention, and belief I’ve poured into them. Let me share with you a few personal examples of how these visual reminders of my dreams have manifested into reality, and how aligning my actions with these visions made it all possible.
#1: Drivers License
For years, I had a desire to get my driver’s license, but fear always held me back—fear of driving, cars, accidents, you name it. Living in Massachusetts, I could easily get by without one since public transportation was so accessible. But when I moved to Texas, things were different. It’s nearly impossible to get around without a car. During my first few months here, I created a vision board and added a driver’s license to it, but that dream didn’t become a reality right away. Later, when I created a new vision board, I included an image of a car with a red bow on it. That specific image helped turn that dream into reality, and I’ll explain why shortly.
“The road to freedom begins with the courage to take the wheel.”
When I saw this image, it was added to my second vision board as I started to understand the deeper meaning and feeling behind using vision boards. I had never been excited about getting my driver’s license due to my fear, but I knew deep down that it was something I needed for the freedom to move around as I wanted. The joy I felt when I saw this photo made the process of getting my license feel so much smoother and more achievable.
Proof That Dreams Can Come True
Sometimes, as I’m driving, I catch myself thinking, “I still can't believe I actually have a car and I'm behind the wheel.”
#2: Health I$ Wealth
I wanted to take my body movement to new levels and truly discover what my body was capable of. I was inspired by the female runners I saw on TikTok, and my partner took me running, coaching me on my pace, and breath, and guiding me to push past my limits. Before I knew it, I was running 3 miles non-stop, and then even 6 miles—just once, though! I had added an image of a girl running to my vision board, and suddenly, I was out there running. Although I don’t particularly enjoy running (I prefer HIIT), I push myself to do it because it takes me out of my comfort zone. Plus, running is incredibly good for the soul—it humbles you in ways you wouldn’t expect.
What’s crazy to me when I look back at this photo is that I ended up buying myself sunglasses, and now I feel so aligned with this image.
#3: Relationship Commitment
On my vision board, I added 'engagement photos,' which makes me giggle because, growing up, I never imagined myself wanting a wedding. I never had those dreams many women have. While others talk about 'baby fever,' I had 'house fever.' Now, as a woman in my 30s, my mindset, energy, and beliefs have shifted in such a powerful way.
What surprises me the most is that I chose the word 'COMMITMENT' to surround those photos of rings. I picked that word because I realized how much it means to me to be truly dedicated to someone — and for that person to be just as dedicated to me. It’s about willingly choosing each other, and doing life together. Not from a place of pressure or trying to fit into a mold that forces us to be perfect, but knowing we can support each other through the strengths and weaknesses we bring. We’re choosing balance, growth, and a shared journey.
Two years later, I received a commitment ring. That’s what we call it. It’s a beautiful symbol of our commitment to each other, and he gave it to me as a meaningful gesture until we’re ready for the engagement ring. It represents the love and dedication we share as we look toward our future together.
Ladies and fellas (if you’re reading this), do not let society dictate the timeline or image of your relationship. Everyone’s journey is unique, and we all have different circumstances. Flow in your heart, trust yourself, and know what is right for you! Remember, don’t rush something you want to last a lifetime.
The Deeper Lesson: The Feeling
It’s easy to get caught up in gathering inspiration—whether it's scrolling online, flipping through magazines, or collecting quotes and images that resonate with you. But here's the truth: if you don't connect to the deeper lesson of the feeling behind each photo or quote, your vision board will simply remain a collection of images. Without that emotional connection, your dreams won’t transform into reality. Manifestation isn’t just about what you see; it’s about how deeply you align with the emotions those images stir within you. The feeling behind each vision is the energy that moves you forward, and that’s where the true magic lies.
Align, Manifest, and Create: Your Next Step
As you reflect on the power of vision boards and the deeper lessons they hold, I encourage you to create your own or revisit an old one. Take time to connect with the feelings behind the images and quotes you choose, and watch as your dreams begin to manifest in unexpected ways.
If you’re ready to dive deeper into self-love, manifestation, and aligning your inner world with your outer desires, I’d love for you to join my Heart-Centered Relationship Coaching workshop. Together, we’ll explore how to cultivate a deeper connection with yourself, harness the power of manifestation, and create the life you’re dreaming of.
Let’s manifest your dreams, one intention at a time.
Right now, I'm offering an exclusive discounted rate—only available to my subscribers! This is your chance to dive deeper into self-love, manifestation, and alignment, and create the life you've been dreaming of.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and connect with me today. I hope you’re feeling inspired to create your own vision and start manifesting the life you truly desire. Remember, the magic is in the feeling, and when you align with that, anything is possible.
With love and gratitude,

An Update on Life and Growth: Focusing on the Top 5 Pillars
Hey beautiful souls! 🌹
It’s been a long time since I’ve been active on Instagram. I’ve actually been posting more on Snapchat lately—crazy, right? Who uses Snapchat anymore, lol. But I’ve missed engaging with all of you! As I reflect on where I’ve been and what I’ve been up to, I realize how important it is for us to always focus on the top 5 pillars that support our well-being: spiritual, emotional, mental, physical, and financial. So here's a quick update on what I’ve been doing with each of these pillars!
Spiritual: Connecting to My Breath
Lately, I’ve been focusing a lot on my spiritual practice, especially through meditation. I truly believe meditation is the soul’s medication. Just like we plug in our electronic devices to recharge, we need to plug our souls in too. It’s easy to forget about the soul’s needs when we’re constantly on the go, but meditation helps me reconnect and recharge. It’s been so grounding to make time for stillness, breathe deeply, and simply be.
what you’re looking for is not out there, it is in you.
Emotional: Mastering My Emotions
This year, I made a deep commitment to focusing on controlling my emotions. Being a triple water sign, I am very sensitive—sensitive as in I might cry over the smallest things, but also as fragile as a bomb ready to explode. I can be the peaceful ocean or cause a tsunami! So, I’ve poured myself into journaling and working through my emotional challenges. I’ve also sought emotional support from safe spaces, learning to navigate my feelings with more understanding and grace.
Mental: Expanding My Mindset
Now, let’s talk about my mental state—WOW, it’s been quite the journey. As someone who tends to be more emotional, sometimes my logic takes a backseat. There have been moments when I wished I could have tapped into my masculine, logical energy to handle things differently, but I’ve learned to give myself the space and grace to keep growing. This year, I also stepped outside my comfort zone and listened to people I wouldn’t have in the past. This has helped expand my mental horizons! On top of that, I stopped smoking weed for 11 months, and wow—my brain feels so much clearer! It was like a cloud lifted, and I felt sharper and more focused. I gave up that habit, cold turkey, and within a month, I could see a noticeable difference in my mental clarity.
Physical: Embracing My Body
I’m still working out regularly because the gym has become a form of therapy for me. However, I haven’t been running as much lately, mainly because the weather here in Texas has gotten chilly (50 degrees and my brother says I’ve gone soft—LOL). I used to be vegan for a decade, but last year, I found myself craving a rosemary garlic steak that I made, and I haven’t looked back! Yes, I’m eating meat now, and I’ve seen some major changes in my body. That being said, I’m very picky about the meat I consume. Huge shoutout to my sister for making sure I’m choosing the best options. She’s taught me so much about mindful eating. Even though I now eat meat, I still tend to opt for plant-based options when dining out. I’m a creature of habit and love visiting the same places and ordering the same things. If I spend money on something I don’t like, I’ll be annoyed for days—LOL!
The reality is…
Our bodies are never the problem—it’s how we think and feel about them that matters. Your body is your temple, the sacred vessel you chose for your soul’s growth in this lifetime. Treat it with love, honor, and care.
Financial: Building a Stronger Financial Foundation
Right now, I’m in the process of cleaning up my finances. I’ve been reflecting on this year’s spending and setting financial goals for the year ahead. Financial planning is so important to me because, without clear goals, I tend to overspend. I blame this on childhood conditioning (not having much money growing up), and my inner girl and I are still working on healing that pattern. As I look to 2025, I’m excited to set solid financial goals that will help me build a more secure future.
Exciting Changes Ahead
As you know, there are certain parts of my life that I like to keep private. But I will say that there are some big changes coming up in the year ahead that I’m really excited for! These changes are going to push me to go even deeper within myself. I feel like this is a second chance that most people don’t get, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to “redo” certain aspects of my life, but this time with more wisdom, knowledge, trust, understanding, patience, and prayer.
Well, if you’ve made it this far, thank you for reading! I hope you’re doing well and taking care of yourself as you navigate your own journey. Sending you love and light.
XO,
Alyssa

New Moon in Leo 08|16
Hello Beautiful Souls & Welcome Back!
Lately, I have not been in the space to verbally chitchat on stories so why not utilize my blog and share what is going on in the cosmos?
On August 16th we will have a New Moon in Leo. As many know, a New Moon represents new beginnings and fresh starts. I don’t know about y’all but I could really use some fresh new energy right now. This is a time to gather all your intentions, create a plan, and release it to The Divine (God, Angels, and Universe).
Take a moment to think about where you’re currently at in life. What area(s) could use some fresh new energy? Is it your health & fitness, family & home, relationships (platonic and romantic), career & business, travel & adventure? How can you call in fresh energy or pour newer energy into those areas? What are your intentions and what is the action plan? Once you have created that give it to The Divine. This is the vital part. You must be willing to surrender and trust the process while doing what you can (taking action) as things are being prepared by the Higher Power. Trusting the process is not always easy because we feel as though things are not happening.
You must remember sometimes we cannot always see what is happening behind the scenes, but when the curtains open there is a beautiful performance taking place.
Now let us talk about what it means to be in the sign of Leo. Leo is ruled by The Sun. The Sun symbolizes ego, basic personality, consciousness, vitality, and stamina. Just like everything in life, there is the positive and negative side of Leo.
Leo’s Positive Side: brave, playful, leader, fun warm, protective, generous, and charismatic.
Leo’s Negative Side: egotistical, dominating, stubborn, controlling, show-off, and vain.
Leo’s Ruling House is the 5th which is creativity and entertainment. Its element is fire.
Before we move forward we have to backtrack a little. We currently have Venus in Retrograde in the sign of Leo. This began on July 23rd and will end on September 3rd, but you always want to give it a 10-day grace period for the energy to stabilize. Venus is the planet of attraction, love, relationships, art, beauty, and harmony. If you can, take a moment to reflect on your own personal life. What areas are feeling challenged and what areas are blooming?
During this time it is known for relationships to end, have challenges, and/or when past ex-lovers resurface. Yes, when relationships end or go into separation it can feel like the end of the world. It can feel confusing and hurtful. With this all happening in the sign of Leo be mindful not to show up in those negative ways: egotistical, dominating, stubborn, controlling, show-off, and vain. This can cause much more pain in the connections/relationships. Try your best to show up with positive energy: brave, playful, leader, fun warm, protective, generous, and charismatic. If the other person or persons are not aligning with you or you cannot see eye to eye; that is OKAY. It simply means that y’all need space to breathe or that y’all no longer align.
Endings can be scary because you cannot see the future or how things will turn out. I know firsthand how tough this can be, but every time I reach the light I am gifted something so beautiful. And I think to myself, damn why was I even trippin’? But it is all part of the process.
If you find yourself or found yourself stepping back into old patterns of behaviors or thought processes please hold space for yourself. It is okay to f*ck up and react in ways you wish you didn’t. IT MAKES YOU HUMAN. It is all a gift. Sometimes we get so caught up in the moment we cannot self-soothe and the emotions override us. When you begin to calm back down how can you self-soothe? Can you take a cold shower? Splash cold water on your face? Go for a run? Meditate? Call a friend? What do you need to shift back into taking care of yourself before you return to that challenge, problem, or person(s)?
Okay, back to the New Moon in Leo. This is a time to be more expressive. Finding new ways to express your feelings, express your creativity, and socialize with others. All while being more aware of self. We are going to gain this overall fire energy within. We are going to feel more passionate, energetic, optimistic, confident, and independent. This is the time to live from your HEART. Open it up especially if it has been closed. When you set those intentions and create the action plans you are being asked to trust and know everything will be created and moved with LOVE.
New Moon Oracle Reading
I pulled two cards for the New Moon Energy. We got Deep Knowing and To The Sea.
Deep Knowing: trusting your intuition, listening to your higher self within, empathy, and hypersensitivity.
Know that you have the ability to read between the lines and find all the truth that was missing when the story was told. Deep knowing allows you to open the door of wisdom far greater than what is available in the limitations of the human experience. The trick is to listen and then act accordingly. To receive the messages you must sit in silence (meditation) or do what you need to do to calm the mind. Also, pay attention to the signs.
To The Sea: being in flow, returning to the source, recognizing how pieces fit together, a natural pattern of events.
Doesn’t it always feel great when you feel yourself in the flow of life? This card is to remind us that going with the flow is exactly what you need to do right now. Ride the waves of opportunity. Allow trust and faith to guide you forward as you flow like the river into the sea of life.

Bloom Where You Are Planted
In December 2019 I decided to take the biggest leap of faith in my life. I decided to move to Houston Texas. As I laid down on an air mattress in my Massachusetts bedroom apartment for the last night, I was covered in fear & excitement. I could barely fall asleep. The thoughts of leaving my family, friends, and the only place I ever knew haunted me.
The dark cold early morning approached and it was time to load the final things into the Uhaul Truck. I went into my sister’s bedroom hugged her saying goodbye as tears flooded out my eyes. Before I officially walked out of the apartment I turned around stood in the living room and thanked my apartment for housing me through some dark & light moments in life. Then, we were off. I was the Passenger Princess in the truck as my partner (at the time) drove us safely across the country, state to state. I never felt so physically safe before in my entire life. My excitement grew stronger and stronger as we approached the Texas state lines.
There we were, getting ready to unload the truck into our first apartment together. We did argue about unloading the truck because I physically could not hold up the mattress on my end, LOL. I was tired & completely depleted from lack of food as no vegan options were easily available on the road. However, the Hercules in him grabbed the mattress and beasted it up the stairs along with the majority of the furniture and boxes from the truck. We got settled into the apartment and started to grow our roots together in Houston.
Then something within me shifted and I could no longer live in the same space as him. My inner child and adult self were suffocating and yearning for my own space (I never lived alone). I then took another leap of faith and decided last minute (after long thought) to go for it and get my own apartment. I did! I was scared! I didn’t have my family here and was “officially” on my own. It was truly the BEST DECISION I ever made for myself. For the first time in a long time, I wasn’t thinking about anyone else. I had to put my own mental, emotional, spiritual, physical, and financial health first.
After several months of trying to grow through the challenges within that relationship container, the time had expired. Everything in life has a start date and expiration date. That relationship is officially over. I am now in a state of mind of blooming where I am planted. I am currently planted in Houston Texas, living on my own, learning more deeply about myself, learning to love this new version of me, and ready to see how I blossom as I will be turning 30 in June 2023.
I am so blessed and grateful to have come in contact with the man that I did. Because our souls chose each other for that season I learned about femininity, leaning back into a softer life, I learned how to look more deeply into another's eyes, I learned how important it is for a man to be heard, felt, and seen. I learned how to play, sing, and dance again with my inner child. Without that relationship, I wouldn’t have explored other parts of the world and I wouldn’t have explored myself in a mental, physical, spiritual, emotional, and sexual way. I learned how to step boldly out of my comfort zone. Most importantly I learned how to bravely venture into the unknown.
If you are finding yourself wanting to take leaps of faith in your life, but find yourself scared to actually go for it. This is your sign to do it. Wherever you end up you are going to learn amazing life lessons, come across experiences you only dreamt about, come into contact with beautiful souls, and create an abundant life for yourself. Don’t hold yourself back because of fear, or not being able to see all the details of the plan. Once you make the first move of leaning into your fear, putting one foot in front of the other your path will slowly be revealed to you.
