Lunar Eclipse Love from Les Herbiers
look out for a new episode of SITS on May 12!
Hello my lovely little swimmers, I hope this note finds you breathing and blinking and being as kind and generous with yourselves as you are with others.
I’ve been all over the map lately — no literally, I’m writing this to you from the most gorgeous room in the most stunning villa in Les Herbiers, France, where a longtime and cherished friend is getting married tomorrow. It’s been raining all day, but the sun is finally out, the birds are singing, and I am about to take a nap in a huge, comfy bed. Happy Eclipse to me!
But also, due to my travels, what was supposed to be this week’s episode of SITS is going to come out next Friday, May 12!
Though delayed, I promise you’re not going to want to miss it. My guest is truly love incarnate.
In the meantime, perhaps you’d like to feast on the double header that was Art April:
SITS 1x14 with Missing Witches — on craft, creative anti-capitalism, & the colorful life of Leonora Carrington
SITS 1x15 with John A. Rice — on letting go of outcomes, leaning into the mystery & living a creative life
As I mentioned above, today is a Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio! Astrologers will have a lot to say about what this chaotic and cosmic event might mean for you, but I couldn’t not throw in my two cents about the numbers of the day.
May 5, 2023 is a 17/8 day overall. In tarot speak, we’re working with The Star and Strength, and the numerological archetype for the number 8 is The Powerhouse. I also like to call it The Embodied.
Even though 8 energy can really pack a punch, there’s also a grace and a confidence that comes with it. It’s an empowered place to hang out in, one that doesn’t push unnecessarily or out of fear or greed or lack. It knows that everything is always flowing and that things are working out in due time. It knows that action is more potent in combination with trust and acceptance of what is.
Today, believe that nothing is impossible, while also knowing what is realistically possible right now. Practice patience and softness, and walk the fine line between divinity and mortality with ease and grace.
The “above” energy is quite chaotic, so allow for your “below” to be restful.
To play with that double 5 energy of 5/5, see on your to-do list can be a problem for “future you.” The you that’s living today will thank you for it.
We’re almost out of the mess.
I’m almost out of a massive moment of change and travel.
We’ve got this! I’ll be back in your inbox with new treats soon. Now, for a nap!
