LA Honeys, wanna meet IRL this weekend? I’m doing mini “Holy Trinity” numerology chart readings at READERS X HEALERS at Open Eye Crystals on Sunday 6/30 from 12-6pm PST. RSVP for free, bookings are day-of, first come, first serve. Hope to see you there! ✨🔥👁️🗨️
What’s up, swimmers?!
Last weekend, we kicked off The Road Trip—a series of three workshops geared towards using numerology to help us figure out what road we’re on, how to navigate it, and where we are in the current map of our lives—with a workshop on the Life Path and Public Persona numbers.
To be totally honest with y’all, I almost canceled the workshop the night before.
I’ve been teaching numerology for almost five years now, and I’ve had the great fortune of working with so many incredible seekers—a handful of whom have graciously agreed to join me again this summer. But the night before the class, while finalizing my slides, I was paralyzed with fear that I wouldn’t actually be offering anything new to these beloved students.
How many times can I go over someone’s Life Path number until they realize I’m a big ole phony with nothing new to say?
Thankfully, this isn’t my first rodeo. It’s not the first time I’ve wanted to cancel class, and it’s not even the first time I’ve actually gone ahead and done it (RIP Math Magic: Winter Session 2022, or whatever it was called LOL). So I know my brain well enough at this point to know that these feelings are largely rooted in fears of vulnerability and/or being a disappointment, and self-sabotage.
I also realized that the answer to my question was already in my class—What do we do when we’re up late at night, activated and upset, and ready to throw in the towel? Well, seven energy would say that we’re never going to know everything, or feel certain all the time, but instead of wrecking our plans, maybe we just need to go to sleep? Wake up the next morning, and come back to things with fresh eyes.
So that’s what I did. I woke up and grounded myself in the fresh soil of a liberated thought—
You don’t have to say something new, just say something true.
How often do we not speak, not share, not take up the space we want to take because we’re worried that someone else has already said what we have to say? Even worse, they’ve probably said it better and with more wisdom and flourish than you ever could?
But also, how many times have you heard the same concept and walked away with new insights and discoveries? How many times have you read the same book, with the same plot or cast of characters, and still enjoyed the hell out of it? How many times have you written the same mantra or the same affirmation in your journal or grimoire, and found power and magic in speaking it aloud to yourself in the bathroom mirror?
There’s a card in the Morgan’s Tarot that says, DO NOT MEDDLE IN THE AFFAIRS OF WIZARDS FOR THEY ARE SUBTLE & QUICK TO ANGER. The guidebook reads, “Put another way, do not attempt to take advanced calculus before mastering elementary arithmetic.” Now, of course we’re always learning and growing and challenging ourselves to expand beyond what we think is even possible. Still, when things are chaotic either above and below, or within and outside of ourselves, one of the best things we can do for ourselves is go back to basics.
So that’s what I did. And you know what? Class was great! We had the best time!
July 2024, which we’ll talk about further next week, may not offer all of the answers that you seek. But it will offer you opportunities to further evolve through tender love and care. It will push you to ask for support where and when you need it then most. And it will require that you get specific in these asks, so that you may receive what you want and need.
We’re over the hump. Halfway through 2024: A Collective Eight Year. How can you relinquish the need to be, do or say something new? How can you rest and reflect, right here, right now? How can you further root into basic truths and reasons to live?
How can you resist the urge to remove yourself from the game before you’ve even started playing?
FREEBIE ALERT 🚨
If you’d like to join The Road Trip, you can still sign-up for July and August’s workshops—Where the F*ck Am I? and What If I Hate My Life Path?—and as a huge thank you for supporting my writing here on Substack, I’ll throw in the replay of the first workshop for free!
That’s right. Once you’re enrolled in both a la carte workshops, I’ll email you everything you missed in June—on the house :)
LIFE PATH LIFE HACKS
Numerological tips + tricks for a Smoother Ride
Find your Life Path Number by adding the month + day + year of your birth, reducing until you reach a single digit. (For example: July 7, 1992 — 7+7+1+9+9+2 = 35, 3+5 = 8)
Take Your Time — Ideas are instant, but plans and processes take time. Patience might be a virtue you have no time for, but releasing notions of control around timelines will put creative energy back in your pocket. Instead of worrying, make something new.
Know Thy Self — Dolly said, "Find out who you are and do it on purpose." But do it without input from others. While they may truly have your best interests at heart, they won’t ever know the longings in your heart or the primordial gurgling in your gut.
Regularly Re-Write Your Stories — Be careful around prolonging stories. Everything has a natural beginning, middle and end. To hang onto perspectives and narratives until they rot is to chance allowing sickness into your system. Let it go.
Define Enough For Yourself — Safety and security can be their own traps if you aren't clear on your personal definition of "enough." Be just as aware of holding too tightly to material gains as you are of playing it safe to keep yourself small. Fear comes with us.
Change Your Behavior to Change Your Life — If you want something to be different, you have to do things differently. Einstein said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results,” and he was right. Inaction leads to restlessness and frustration. Take action towards your future.
Do Not Rush Growth — Do not rush through growth, for after expansion comes accountability to and for what you wanted. Just as you cannot pour from an empty cup, you cannot hold water in a cup with a hole in it. Take good care of yourself. Sustain your expansion.
Enjoy Your Findings — Seekers gonna seek, but don't forget to enjoy all that you find. Staying in the question is a beautiful commitment to exploration. and also this world has a lot to offer if you can pull yourself up to the surface long enough to taste it, touch it, know it.
Make A Joyful Effort — If it doesn't get your juices flowing, it may not be worth your efforts. being capable is not a reason to put yourself out. When you begin to value your energy and flow is when you will begin to make choices rooted in the desire to make a joyful effort.
Try, Then Teach — Knowing when to retreat and when to offer is an equilibrium worth finding. Some lessons are just for you to learn. in fact, they all are at first. you’ll know when you are ready and feeling called to share. But don’t make a habit of teaching what you haven’t yet attempted to master for yourself. Try, then teach.
