Start #RetrogradingRight! Mercury Retrograde began this past Sunday, and predictably, I’ve already seen a feed cluttered with people who are blaming things on #MercuryRetrograde. Spoiler alert: Mercury Retrograde will only act up if you let it. The point of this season is to spend time focused on reflection, not time spent ruining your travel plans and have you out here responding to your exes. That isn’t the point. If you have been unable or unwilling to do the necessary work for evolution in your life, then Mercury Retrograde has been known to force a tower moment or two. ☾ There isn’t anything in astrology that exists solely to “fuck you up.” A lot of people feel this way. But Mercury Retrograde gives us the opportunity to let things fall away that no longer serve us: relationships, habits, even thought habits. When people say that retrogrades are causing them to implode and their lives to explode, they are likely holding on to something that doesn’t serve them anymore. ☾ Take time and take solace to let Mercury Retrograde make way for the things that are destined for your life. Whatever they are, whatever or whoever they might be, retrogrades can leave you on the precipice of a brand new phase of your life — if you let it. If you want to fuss about delayed flights, texts from your exes, or even your coffee order being wrong, you aren’t #RetrogradingRight.

As we enter into July — complete with a mercury retrograde, solar eclipse, and lunar eclipse — take a minute to come to the understanding that you are not simply “screwed” when looking at a month full of strong, cosmic energy. I see a lot of posts from people who are posting memes in genuine seriousness as if they’ve already decided to have a bad month and blame it on these transits. Spoiler: these events only bring about other events and awareness that you were always meant to have, and anything that falls away was meant to. ☾ Tomorrow’s complete solar eclipse will be the first complete eclipse since 2017. The energy is strong and this month can be completely transformational, if you let it. We have six months until the end of 2019 and we usher in 2020, which is going to have major spiritual and energetic overhauls for the entire planet. What can you accomplish in six months? I’m not talking about promotions or material things, but what about your dream life can you manifest? Can you change your thought process? Can you get closer to enlightenment? Six months is a long time and July’s eclipse energy is perfect for slowing down and getting rid of things that no longer serve you. ☾ I, for one, am excited for all of these transits and major celestial moves. It’s an opportunity to cleanse things from your life that are no longer serving you, to re-up your ongoing commitment to yourself and your spiritual path, and to evaluate your relationships. What is working for you? What life do you want to have in six months, when we enter 2020? ☾ The ability is completely within you. Whether you are a fan of rituals during eclipses or not (which is a person to person personal preference), set time aside tomorrow especially to quiet your spirit and be open to what the universe is telling you to do or drop. 📷: @serpentfire

Happy eclipse month + mercury retrograde month! ✨ pleasant reminder that these circuits only drag you through the mud if you let them because you haven’t looked inward, accepted yourself, and are consistently being pushed to ‘tower’ moments because you aren’t learning! Eclipses and mercury retrograde periods will not fuck up your life “just because.” So please stop living in toxic patterns and captioning your Instagram posts, ‘omg mercury retrograde.’ 😘

I’m always thinking about love. Not in the way that you likely think and certainly not in the way that conjures images of romantic comedies or Romeo and Juliet (also, read that book, it’s about the farthest thing from romance that you can possibly imagine and it’s incredibly toxic, thanks). Love is a universal force and if you were to ask me to describe god or the universe in one word, I’d say love. We are doing ourselves and our lives a great disservice when we attribute love to the matrix-driven concept of romantic love. Think of how it felt the last time you were in love, or had convinced yourself that you were? Imagine what your life would look like if you approached every day and everything in your life with that appreciation. ☾ But something that struck me recently was the idea of unconditional versus conditional love. The matrix-bound concept of romantic love will have you believe that there are a lot of conditions attached to love. I’ll love them if they take me to a nice enough restaurant, if they do this, if they think a certain way. Now, certainly, you should have standards — but the second that you begin making your love for someone performance based or based on a set of matrix-defined criteria, you’re doing it wrong. ☾ I have been reading an amazing book by @sadhguru, who aptly points out that there is no such thing as unconditional versus conditional love. There is just love, which by its nature is unconditional. There isn’t conditional and unconditional, there is just LOVE and then CONDITIONS that you attribute to it. Love in its energetic and purest form doesn’t come with a single condition. ☾ Love people without ego. Love without conditions. There is not conditional versus unconditional love — there is just love. No terms and conditions required.

One of the biggest theological concepts that traditional Christianity dedicates its resources to is the concept of sin. They call is the first sin, traditional sin, inherited sin. You have sin, no matter what your life has looked like up until this point, and you will always have sin — but, you should still strive to have zero sin, fruitless as that is, and must continuously throw yourself at church to get rid of sin (in an ongoing cycle). The Christian relationship with sin is one of the reasons that I call myself a “recovering Christian.” ☾ The same is almost tenfold with traditional Catholicism, apparent in practices like going to confession. The Christian relationship with sin is actively in opposition with their own doctrine, in the Bible where it’s said that Christ “paid the price for all sin.” But, that would meant that people are free from sin and from the confines of obedience that the fear of sin brings — which won’t work for the modern church. The church is steeped in tradition that is in open opposition of its own holy doctrine, when you truly read and compare the two, because it uses these traditions as a fear-based tool to manipulate people into fear and behaving certain ways. The biggest fear of all, of course, being that you will go to “hell for eternity when you die.” ☾ These teachings simultaneously preach that you are free from sin through Christ, but must spend the rest of your life asking for forgiveness and behaving out of fear based on your life’s sins. I’m not saying that humans are perfect or that I’m even close — I’m far from it. But the concept of “sin” is fear-based. There is light and dark, right and wrong, and actions and reactions that are either coming from a healed place or a wounded place. There is not “sin” in the Christian concept that they would have you believe. I thought it was a “sin” to read tarot and to develop my psychic gifts and it took me a LONG time to work through that (I still have days where it comes back around). The things that are often labeled as sin are things that would bring us closer to spiritual fulfillment and enlightenment WITHOUT NEEDING the modern church.
