Find Love Within

Yesterday, I forced myself to close every open loop.

That same action led to:

3 difficult conversations
2 apologies I'd been avoiding
1 friendship I thought was over - saved

Here's the thing nobody talks about:

The real reason you're tired all the time isn't your workload.

It's your open loops.

The text you haven't answered.
The apology you owe.
The decision you're avoiding.
The conversation you keep postponing.

These run in the background of your mind all day, draining your battery.

But here's what I discovered:

We keep loops open because closing them feels riskier than the exhaustion.

Sending the text means getting rejected.
Making the apology means admitting we were wrong.
Having the conversation means potential conflict.

So we choose exhaustion over vulnerability.

We'd rather be tired than uncomfortable.

The best part? I didn't have to be perfect.

I simply sent imperfect messages and had awkward conversations.

Close your loops. Watch your energy return.

Mental clutter is more exhausting than physical work ever will be.

PS: The friendship I saved? We're meeting for coffee next week.

I said one night that life felt heavy.
Too heavy.
Like carrying something I couldn’t put down,
but couldn’t explain either.
I said I didn’t know my dream,
didn’t know what I wanted,
didn’t even know who I was anymore.

It wasn’t a dramatic moment.
No tears, no silence breaking in half.
Just me rambling again,
letting words spill into the air,
the way I do when the quiet feels too loud.
The way I do when I’m trying to convince myself
I still make sense.

And then you said something so simple,
I almost missed it.
Like it slipped in through the side door
while I wasn’t looking.
But when it landed,
the world slowed just enough
for me to notice.

“You are gentle and kind.
Thoughtful and sweet.
You like ice cream.
And you love the color of the sunset,
not orange,
just the orange in a sunset.”

I laughed at first,
because how could that be an answer?
I wanted something bigger,
something that sounded like a revelation.
But then I realized,
you weren’t answering the question I asked.
You were answering the question underneath it.
The one I didn’t know how to say out loud.
Who am I?

And somehow,
you reminded me I didn’t need
to know the whole map of my life.
Not the grand plan.
Not the purpose I kept chasing.
Maybe it was enough
to be seen in the little things,
the soft things,
the pieces of me I’d forgotten were still mine.

It’s strange,
how someone naming you in fragments
can feel more whole
than you’ve felt in years.
How being reminded of ice cream and sunsets
can hold more truth
than all the answers you’ve been reaching for.

I don’t know my dream yet.
I don’t know who I’ll be tomorrow.
But for a moment, I knew who I was.
Not because I figured it out,
but because someone else saw it,
clear enough to hand it back to me.

That someone could name me
when I couldn’t name myself.
That someone could find me
even when I thought I was lost.

And for the first time in a long time,
that felt like an answer.
And that felt like enough.

I hope one day someone says it to you too.
I hope you have someone who reminds you of the little things,
the small and ordinary truths that are already yours.
I hope it makes you smile,
the way the orange in sunsets does.
And I hope it feels like enough,
the way you already are.

Self-abandonment happens when we reject, suppress, or ignore our own needs, emotions, and intuition to maintain attachment, gain approval, or avoid pain.

Common Symptoms & Behaviors of Self-Abandonment

- Fear of rejection or being "too much"
- Over-dependency in relationships
- People-pleasing to avoid disconnection
- Chronic anxiety in intimacy
- Sabotaging closeness (before they leave me, I leave them)
- Ignoring your feelings or intuition
- Overriding your boundaries for others
- Harsh inner critic, perfectionism
- Suppressing the desire to be accepted
- Seeking worth only externally

Root Wound:
"I must disconnect from myself to be loved."

After a long journey through Leo, which began in November of last year, Mars enters Virgo today! This ingress may bring a dose of pragmatism and help temper impulses. The focus of action tends to shift toward problem-solving, adopting more strategic approaches and becoming less centered on personal assertion.

However, during this first week, we may still feel a sense of restlessness that fuels a spirit of defiance, aligned with the square Mars is making to Uranus — an aspect that will begin to dissipate after the 25th. The s*xtile to Jupiter, which will remain active until the end of the month, will also continue to inspire us, guiding our actions and nourishing hope.

In terms of relationships, we can make good use of this Mars in Virgo by channeling our energy into practical and efficient gestures rather than investing in grand, dramatic displays of passion. Under this transit, attention to detail is heightened, offering the opportunity to refine relational dynamics, manage conflicts through rational analysis, and focus on overcoming problems and difficulties with humility and discernment.

Still, it is important to remain aware of the critical tendency that Mars in Virgo can activate, especially when projected onto others. We may find ourselves becoming less tolerant of behaviors we perceive as "imprecise," "disorganized," or "inefficient" — and if left unchecked, this can easily lead to tension and conflict. With this transit, it is essential to remember that perfectionism can sabotage our efforts and distance us from our goals. Accepting what we cannot control and working on what we can change will be the best investment of our energy.

One day you will meet a soul who was also searching for yours. Someone who, while walking the roads of life, also missed someone whose name or appearance they didn't yet know, but whose soul already knew.

Because the greatest encounters have somehow already happened in life.

But the encounter alone is not enough if there is no maturity to sustain it. A good dose of internal growth is necessary on both sides for an encounter to become a journey for two. Because the encounter is only the beginning, it is the challenges of the journey that will show the purpose of a union and how far along the path two people can go together.

Because, just as there are people who only come to teach and leave, there are those who come to stay and grow together.

People connected to you will always find you along the way. In the meantime, take care of yourself, your development, your soul, your heart. Learn to enjoy your company, to value yourself, to love yourself regardless of someone else's love. Don't just wait and don't make your life a waiting game. Don't abandon yourself in someone's hands believing that this person will take care of you. Wonderful people will find you and still the responsibility of making yourself happy is yours.

Because no one comes to complete you, people come to expand you. No one will carry you on your journey, but they can walk by your side. And if both are prepared, they will reach a common goal.

The more you take care of yourself, the more you attract people who are compatible with what you emanate and the deeper and more beautiful your encounters and the course of your journey will be.

Full Moon in Scorpio- SECRETS Become Known, Deep Emotions, How Well Do You Trust Yourself + Others?

On May 12th, we have the uber intense and transformational Full Moon at 22 degrees of Scorpio. Full Moons always bring forth heightened emotions and signify endings, completions and manifestations. Scorpio, the 8th zodiac sign, deals with intensity, passion, hidden matters, death/rebirth and legacy.

Happy momma's day to all my US + Canadian based followers!

Get ready for some sh** to be exposed and revealed! Information and secrets will be coming out of the woodwork with this potent Full Moon! You can run but you can't hide. Repressed emotions on a deep cellular level will rise up to be acknowledged. For those who have been struggling, this is the time to face your shadows head on and prepare yourself to transform like the phoenix rising from the ashes!

The Full Moon in Scorpio is here to usher in intensity and the need to deal with the darker and more taboo aspects of life. Since the Sun in Ta**us is opposing this Full Moon, a lot of these issues could revolve around financial matters. Both Ta**us and Scorpio rule the 2nd and 8th houses which deal with my money vs. your/others resources. Expect big time confessions and as mentioned above, secrets to be revealed and exposed.

The reason Scorpio as a sign often gets a bad rap is not because people are scared of the Scorpion's sting( well maybe a little bit lol). The real reason this sign is often "feared" is that most folks only want surface level interactions and information. Scorpio wants the REAL truth and will go 20 layers deep where most folks only venture 5 layers deep. It takes bravery and guts to face s**t that isn't comfortable or easy. This is where Scorpio shines! The real beauty of this Full Moon in Scorpio will be the ability to "deal" with the hard, uncomfortable truths with humility and a sense of determination and grit. It is time to face your + other folks' darker sides with compassion and a sense of intrigue and resolve.

The Full Moon in Scorpio will be making an opposition ( 180 degree aspect) to not only the Sun of course but also to Uranus, the planet who is known to be about surprises, shocks and sudden events who is in the sign of Ta**us. The Full Moon opposing Uranus could bring all kinds of cray events connected to the financial markets and also weather/geological patterns. This aspect could produce earthquakes, floods and yes even violence. When Uranus comes to play, you never know. I would avoid making big financial decisions if possible over the next couple of weeks. The energy with this Full Moon + Uranus could also lead to financial breakthroughs but more often than not, it could also lead to financial recklessness and risky investing.

If you have your Sun, Moon or Ascendant signs on or close to 22 degrees of Scorpio ( or the other fixed signs of: Ta**us, Leo or Aquarius) you will be most impacted by this mysterious Full Moon in Scorpio. Expect all kinds of very intense and possibly erratic events especially connected to your physical health, family/home, relationships and career matters. For everyone else, check where 22 degrees of Scorpio falls in your natal birth chart to see where you will be feeling these transformational events play out in your life.

The Full Moon in Scorpio is here to wake us up + allow us to release hidden traumas and pain. There is so much going on right now in the world and this deeply felt lunation wants us to do the work but from a place of emotional strength and resolve. It is time to let go of outdated beliefs around our inability to feel powerful and strong. There is a new level of determination and willpower available with this lunation if and only if we are willing to face our "demons" with compassion and understanding. You weren't born to worry and dwell inside of your concerns. You were born to THRIVE and RISE in your infinite levels of courage and tenacity. The Full Moon in Scorpio is here to end cycles connected to trauma + lack of trust in oneself, bring forth the TRUTH and nothing but the TRUTH and to have us honor our depth with awareness and gratitude.

Individuals blind to the s*xual opposite within them, be they men or women, never realise that the partner they choose is chosen because he or she bears some resemblance to the anima or animus. The anger and hurt felt at the 'true discovery' of the partner's failings is really anger and hurt directed at oneself; and this would become apparent, were one to see the dark figure within one's own unconscious impelling one into a particular relationship. Like always attracts like; rather than railing at the partner, one should take a long, close look at one's own psychic makeup. But it is easier to complain bitterly --- to analysts, marriage counsellors, and also astrologers --- that yet another relationship has collapsed and yet another partner has proved to be a bad choice. It is also fashionable to blame this on the failures of the parent of the opposite s*x; but the past continues to live within a person not only because in some way it is part of his own substance, but also because he permits it to do so.

When a disastrous relationship occurs once, we may fool ourselves into believing it is chance; when it occurs twice, it has become a pattern, and a pattern is an unmistakable indication that the anima or animus is at work in the unconscious, propelling the helpless ego into relationships or situations which are baffling, painful, and frighteningly repetitive. Again, it is much wiser to look within oneself for the source of the pattern, rather than at the inherent failure of the opposite s*x. For these destructive patterns are the psyche's way of making itself known, although great effort is often required to fulfil its demand for transformation. And great sacrifices also are required - of such precious commodities as one's pride, one's self-image, one's self-righteousness.

The Full Moon on Monday, May 12th is at 22° Scorpio & is loaded with aspects bringing dynamism & power themes to the forefront. Above all this FM invites us to go to the depths of ourselves to own & speak our truth.

Scorpio’s ruler, Pluto, started its retrograde period on May 4th, making the already intense Plutonian experience deeply personal. The retrograde period will continue until October 14th. The God of the Underworld also squares Mercury during this lunation bringing repressed mental constructs from the shadow to the light & urging us to speak the unspoken. This FM insists we speak out & share our truth. It’s a potent time to transform thought patterns & associated behaviors, driving us to live from a place of personal empowerment instead of sabotage. With Scorpio, the likelihood of projections is high & previous issues related to secrets or betrayal could resurface. Considering this, be cautious in how you share your truths, yet own it & know it’s time to do so. Hard conversations aren’t meant to hurt us, but to liberate & deepen connection. This is a mighty opportunity to transmute past pain to strength & to use honesty to drive your most precious relationships in the same direction. Saturn is conjunct the North Node as well, ushering in a Karmic element to this lunation. This invites us to align & commit to our soul’s path, either individually or in relationship.

The Moon is in a unique Yod aspect with both Chiron & Jupiter, urging us to use wisdom to confront our wounds, while the Sun is conjunct Uranus, offering a chance to modernize how we present ourselves in the world. Will you rise to the occasion and see this FM as a call to step toward authenticity? Having these difficult conversations might be just the step needed to be more free!

Scorpio’s medicine teaches us to face our shadows & to speak our truths, because as we do so, we evolve into the most authentic and empowered versions of ourselves. This way we also attract the kind of relationships that match the same frequency!

Explore the alchemy of connection! Join us at the Centre for Relationships & Astrology.
