This week in a coaching call, the specialist commented that in all of her 30 years of grief work, she has never come across a person who has done what I have been able to accomplish. She went on to say that I could give mass talks in how to move through grief with grace.

Hmmm.... I said thank you softly.

Here is the thing, I don't want to be that person. I want to be the person who still is living life with her partner, husband and love. But that isn't where I am at.

In deeper reflection I realize the only reason I am able to move through this with some grace...is my spirituality. I firmly believe that our energetic spirit loves on eternally AND I connect often with beings who have crossed over into the energetic sphere. I have done this my entire life. This helps me feel connected and not at a total loss. John is here all around me. I feel it, see it, dream it, hear it, know it.

I don't know how to help others understand this point if their spirituality is limited. But this is it. 50 plus years I have been interacting and receiving messages from beyond the veil from people who have passed. This is wisdom I trust. 🌸

Do you feel the shift?

The zodiac sign that comes after the current one will typically offer something of a balance to what we were just experiencing.
Leo- confident and sometimes center stage energy. Strong love.

Virgo- focused and work oriented. Not about the self but about doing and putting the head down to accomplish many things. Driven to produce and clear out. Selfless in many cases.

So many amazing things are hidden in the stars and our sky.

As the Sun crosses from Leo to Virgo it aligns with the Royal Star, Regulus. Regulus is the star of three lion. It is connected to wealth and success, but also our higher chakras. Regulus activates our crown chakra, helping to balance our connection between mind, body, and soul. Feel yourself rooted to earth and connected to the entire Universe. You are both human and being. You are both body and soul. You are both temporary and eternal.

Do you know where your Lilith is? I certainly do, but I work with planets and stars regularly.

I can help you find yours in a basic natal consultation. Send me a message if you are interested in booking a session. 🌸

Sharing from a talented astrologist and friend.

She was one of my 1st mentoring clients! She has done so much since those days way back when.

Love the depth she gives in her posts.

We’re Standing Between Two Worlds — And One Is Ready to Close

There’s a quiet rumbling beneath the surface right now. Can you feel it?

It’s as if the ground is shifting—gently but firmly—realigning you toward something new, even if you can’t quite see it yet. The astrology we are entering is not subtle. It’s layered, karmic, and deeply personal. And I want to hold space for you in it.

This Saturday, August 23, we begin with a Virgo New Moon at 0°—the very first degree of the sign. A clean slate. A beginning with sacred purpose. But this is no ordinary New Moon. It is the first of two: the second, on September 21, arrives as a Solar Eclipse at 29° Virgo, the final degree. This is rare. We are witnessing a full story arc—a cosmic inhale and exhale—within one sign, one season, one cycle.

And right between these two moons, we experience a Pisces Lunar Eclipse on September 7—an emotional turning point, a letting go, a sacred unraveling.

To stir the pot even more, the Sun in Virgo will square Uranus in Gemini on August 24, right after the New Moon. This brings a moment of disruption, clarity, and awakening. Something unexpected may surface—a shift in your routine, a revelation in your thoughts, a jolt that reroutes your course. Uranus doesn’t show up to keep things calm—it arrives to wake you up. Virgo wants order. Uranus brings chaos—but chaos with a purpose: liberation.

This square may come through tension in your body, restlessness in your mind, or a growing knowing that something just can’t stay the same. And it’s not supposed to.

✨ We are moving from one life chapter into another.
✨ We are standing between the first spark and the final release.
✨ Between what we’ve outgrown and what we’re finally ready to welcome.

This is a soul initiation disguised as a season change.

You may feel like something is closing—and you’re right.
You may sense that something new is trying to come in—but you’re not sure how. That’s okay. This is the moment to pause, listen, and realign.

I would love to hold space for you tomorrow in our live gathering on YouTube, as we explore what this means for you personally—by rising sign, house placement, and heart. We'll talk about the Virgo New Moon, the eclipse doorway we’re entering, and the deeper work this square is activating.

I’ll share what to look for, how to move with the energy instead of resisting it, and how to work with these themes in your own life. Tomorrow at 7pm est!

You don’t have to figure it all out. You just have to stay open to what’s unfolding.

With deep love and gratitude,
🌕 Patricia

Today's pull. This was a personal question and it seems my answer is quite positive. I would love to know how you interpret these cards.

It has been a day. Deep breath in..... hold.... deep breath out...slowly... exhale.... hold. Sign, and allow the energy to settle into a more grounded state.

How is your Monday, August 18th, treating you?

The deeper question is:
Can you offer it in a way that also makes space for someone else’s truth?

This isn’t about growth as a self-help concept, or empathy as a checkbox.
It’s about resonance!
Whether we’re truly connecting…
Or just using opinions to mask discomfort.

Where has our discernment gone?

Yes, the world expects you to adjust and it’s exhausting.

But maybe the bigger truth is this:
We’re the ones meant to shift it.
To crack the armor of detachment.
To rewrite the maps of emotional exchange.
To stop mistaking expression for weakness,
And silence for strength.

I know it’s hard. I know it’s heavy.
But people aren’t enemies for being in their feelings.
They’re asking: Can you meet me here… even when it’s messy?

You’re allowed to be tired. You’re allowed to feel misread.
But if you care, and I know you do...
Then there’s value in asking:
How might I be showing up in ways that feel inaccessible to someone in pain?

That’s not blame.
That’s not demanding change.
It’s inviting evolution...
A shift in how you hold space.
And that is the deepest form of love we can offer.

How does spirit speak to you?

One of the ways my husband speaks to me is through song and lyric. This song was one we talked about when we first started dating. He said it was one of his favorite Stones songs and is one of mine too.

On his earthly birthday, I started my day driving out of the drive with this song on the radio. I commented to my sons the significance. On the way back, at the end of the day, this song came on again as we pulled down the road and driveway, as if starting and ending our day with him.

We are spending the weekend up in a remote area with very little radio stations available. It was a long day filled with activity in between. So to have this song, a poignant one, start and end our day was his way of being there for us.

This is spirit talking to you, showing up and reaching out. 🥁♥️🥁

This weekend I gathered with family to celebrate my husband's earthly birthday. He made his transition just over a year ago. It was a great weekend and one he would have loved! Tears were shed and messages received. I hope to keep this annual tradition alive for many years to come.

Forever in Our Hearts

Anniversaries of our loved ones are heartfelt and challenging days
They arrive each year with a quiet weight,
settling gently yet unmistakably in the corners of our hearts.

It’s a day that can feel both unbearably heavy
and tenderly sacred,
a moment when the absence of someone we love
feels more real than ever.

Even if time has softened the sharp edges of grief,
the ache remains,
a gentle pulse reminding us of what was
and what still lives within us.

It’s okay to feel overwhelmed by the memories that come flooding back,
the laughter, the tender moments shared
that defined a lifetime.

It’s okay to let tears fall or to simply sit in silence,
holding space for the complicated feelings that anniversaries stir.

These days don’t just remind us of loss;
they also remind us of love’s enduring power.

The bond we shared doesn’t disappear with their absence.
It transforms, becoming a quiet presence
that walks alongside us, comforting and steady,
even in the hardest moments.

Though the world around us may carry on as usual,
our hearts slow down to honor what once was.

And in that honoring, we find a small measure of peace,
a reminder that love, even when wrapped in sorrow,
never truly leaves us.

It shapes who we are, guides us forward,
and gently holds us until the ache feels a little lighter again.

What grief took from me,
it took my confidence,
it took my safety,
it took the mornings I used to know,
it took the nights I trusted to end in peace.

It took my voice,
the one that could speak without shaking.
It took the warmth in laughter,
the lightness in music,
the taste of ordinary joy.

It took trust,
in people, in time, in the idea that life was kind.
It took the map of who I was before,
and the compass that might have led me back.

It took the belief that love, once found,
could never be undone.
It took my sense of home,
no matter where I stand.

And in exchange,
it left me with silence,
with a fog that swallows my thoughts,
with days that blur into one another,
with a body that moves
while the heart stays behind.

But what grief could not take from me,
it could not take the love,
woven so deep it lives beyond your absence.
It could not take the sound of your name
rising like a prayer in my chest.

It could not take the memories,
the sparkle in your eyes when you laughed,
that caring glance that made me feel seen,
those arms that made me feel safe,
the sweet sound of you calling my name.

It could not take the part of me
that still believes in connection,
even when I doubt the safety of the world.
It could not take my capacity to feel,
though feeling now comes
with both ache and beauty.

It could not take the stories
I will carry forward for you.
It could not take the quiet moments
when I know you would have smiled.

It could not take the stubborn pulse of hope,
small, flickering, but alive,
that insists the heart can grow again,
even in the shadow of what was lost.

This is what grief took,
and what it could not,
and between them
is the narrow path I walk.
