We’re training for a marathon, not a sprint. And boy, have we been well trained…

Buckle up, babes! November is one roller coaster you’re gonna want to be strapped in for. October gave us a slow build on the momentum, but that acceleration isn’t quite over.

I suggest you put a strict schedule on your self-care this month to both check in and care for your nervous system.

A channeled message for the Collective from the energy at large:

Take a deep breath. That anxious feeling in your chest isn’t because something has gone wrong, but because something is about to go really right.

This feels like a Tower month but in the best of ways. For those who don’t speak Tarot, that means life may feel like it’s crumbling around you, but I get the feeling we’ll see the purpose in it all even as it’s happening. Stay the course. Keep your eye on the prize.

This post is inspired by the intuitive messages I receive while sending the readers of this blog distance Reiki each month.
While the reading always represents the general collective, if you’d like to be a specific recipient of Reiki, follow my IG stories where I ask for any last-minute requests to be included just before sending out healing.

We may be starting back-to-school season, but the feeling in the air is that of finals time.

Let's get into the astrology of the month ahead...

September 1st: Uranus Retrograde begins - Uranus on a normal day is that weird, loose-cannon kid in class who says something unexpected to the teacher just to shake things up. This retrograde energy feels like a mix of intensifying and quieting that aspect in ourselves—the saying something part, not the weirdness. The weirdness will remain either way and likely will feel intensified.

If you’ve been following me for the past 10 years online, you’ll know I am an eternal optimist when giving readings. I can spin even the worst-case scenario into a lesson worth learning because, honestly, that’s how I see things.

That said, even I can admit that the energy right now feels…heavy. Not heavy in a doomsday, let’s all crowd into a bunker sort of way, but heavy in that way that your bowels feel heavy right before you rid your body of massive amounts of s***—because that’s what’s about to happen.

First of all, in writing the title of this post, I almost typed August 2014. There's lots of astrology pointing back to patterns from 7-10 years ago so I don't consider this a random typo.

My first tip: check back to that date & see what was going on for you, it might give you insight into the cycles closing out this month.
