Expressing Our Emotions

An air sign represented and known as the water bearer- tonight’s astrological placement- will asks us to look at the ways in which we receive our feelings and the messages and wisdom our emotions bring. We can ask ourselves honestly- Do we simply bear them and hold them in? When we feel something, do we analyze them and pick them apart without allowing ourselves to actually feel them? Or do we do the opposite and get so lost and consumed in them, that we forget to look at the bigger picture?

In a world that can be triggering and emotionally tolling, be sure to prioritize your peace and calm your nervous system. Look at what serves you and what is worth making a fuss about!

In remembering that your emotions are powerful reflectors on what matters to you, what you like or don’t like, be sure to use them as potent gifts that help you to make decisions that best align you with your highest self, being, and joy! Know that your emotions are energy in motion- Use your feelings as a guiding compass on whether something feels good for you or not. Take action towards honoring, listening to and moving through your feelings. Be brave enough to feel- for the flowing medicine of it- will heal and reveal what you need to know, acknowledge or change! And, if you find you are overwhelmed with anxiety, anger, stress, or fear, look for ways in which you can accept this, then use it as an opportunity to redirect, reflect, transmute and alchemize! Take care of you and all of your feelings in a way that best helps you and nurtures you now, and in the long run.

After all, being human, means balancing all aspects, mental, physical, spiritual and emotional. It means experiencing deep, passionate and quick reactions or emotions and not judging or condemning them. Know that feelings come and go, and that it is brave to nurture, love, listen to and express yourself and even your deepest vulnerabilities with others.

Embracing Our Quirks and Unique Light- Standing Out of the Darkness Like A Star

Aquarius is represented in Tarot by the star. Note: This specific card is from The Moonchild Tarot)

A star symbolically is something we wish upon, something that sparkles unapologetically in the vastness of the night and reminds us of the magic of reaching towards our dreams! Each star is unique, bright, and special and together all stars make up the night sky! ​

In looking at how nature often reflects us, tonight’s moon invites us to remember that we are all meant to shine and stand out in our own brilliant and unique way- and together- being true to all that we are- make an even more beautiful and complex picture of truth and worldliness!

In being brave enough to stand out of the darkness, the norms, the structures, the past and the present with all of your hope, wishes, dreams and light, your entire existence and being radiates strength, softness, serenity, and wild rebellion.

For when you give yourself the life and space to be who you came here to be, you make the world a more interesting, fun, and unique place, full of similar and different things that all come together to create the world as we know it.

​How We Can Best Help the World

​Despite being a fixed sign, Aquarius with their tender heart and hopeful world vision, is also ruled by Uranus, which is the planet of technology, advancement and surprising energies and events. As such, Aquarius is the first to try new things, adjust their perceptions, and change if it means it is better for their own well being and the well being of the world. In being able to channel this bigger and higher vision into the everyday- can you see how your actions, words, thoughts and beliefs touch and impact the world? Can you adjust your choices so that they align with the universe you wish to live in? Can you expand your awareness and empathy to realize we are all humans with hopes, wishes and fears? Can you have strong values while also staying open to embracing and accepting new ideas and different ways of being and seeing- if it means better for you and for us all? And can you learn to hold space, to celebrate the beauty in all of these ways of being instead of condemning, shaming, judging or controlling yourself or others?

In remembering that we all came here individually and together, at a very important time in history- the age of Aquarius. We remember that now, is a time of brilliant awakening and advancement- a time when the veil is thin and all truths shine through the darkness with undeniable light! With the moon shining this reality on all of the darkness of this realm, we remember this deep knowing and embody this truth more and more in our lives. We understand that in knowing ourselves and loving ourselves, by being true and honest with ourselves, and by expanding our awareness on the choices and actions we make, the people, ideas and brands we support, and the way we talk, think and show up in the world- we make the world a better place for us, and for all people!

After all, as a humanitarian and a innovator, Aquarius reminds us that the collective world is made up by a community of individuals, and when the inviduals are healthy and aware, the community is too! For when you support yourself, you better learn how to support others. When you love yourself, you better know how to love others. When you make choices that are good for you, you make choices that are better for others too. When you support yourself, you support others. For example: Eating organic or local food is good for your health and well being- and also for the planet’s! With fewer transportation= less gas/pollution, organic is more sustainable and supportive to the soil, plants and the environment, and you are also supporting and funding local community that cares about its practices! In realizing that what is best for you is also in the bigger picture best for all, you start to realize just how much power your choices and daily actions hold in creating the world we have today and hope for in the future! Another example: When you are true to yourself and don’t hide or dim your complexities, think Aaron Rodgers and his recent podcast interview discussing Ayahuasca, you make others more comfortable in doing and embodying the same! You trigger people to reflect on old ways of thinking, seeing, being or doing. You break the mold and expand people’s minds to be more open and accepting of what being truly alive in human form means.

So the main point? In focusing on staying true to our highest selves, today, and everyday, challenging ourselves and our awareness to grow and expand, day by day, we best help the world! For when you are authentically you, brave enough to be “weird”, different, and unique, try new things, to say no when you mean it, and to be honest and true, you inspire others to be themselves too and create a brighter, more loving and honest world.

With that, with us being in the age of Aquarius, and the moon itself shining in Aquarius tonight- ask yourself today, tonight and everyday- as each day and moment and person together creates the life as we know it today:

What would you like to celebrate in all of your journeys thus far? What are you proud of? How can you embody your unique frequency and light even more? What do you wish to change? What type of legacy and awareness do you want to embody, share and leave behind? How can you help create what you wish for? And what kind of world or community are you creating with your daily energy, actions, thoughts and words?

With love, ​from love,
