Overall Themes
For a deeper share and listen, join me on the audio.
I was raised to be perfect. To look perfect. To act perfect. To live perfect. There was no space for mistakes, unless it was someone else, but even then I was still expected to respond to their messiness…perfectly. Since, as you can guess, I could and have never been perfect, it was like swimming in a pool trying to keep my head above water when I didn’t know how to swim. I know I’m not alone in this. Even as an adult, now who understands the impossibility, the theory of being perfect at everything, my subconscious - little Jess, still tries. I don’t even notice it most of the time until it’s reflected back to me by others or if I make a big enough mistake that catches me off and shows me the magnitude of my imperfection. This week’s energy is alllll about judgment. Harshness towards ourselves and others around any area of imperfection. And there are a lot of different directions I could take this theme, but I want to talk a bit about a reframe. What if… you as you are now - shadow, light, hurtful, kind, arrogant, humble, selfish, thoughtful, etc. you know the drill - ultimately messy and complex, is actually the exact sort of human perfection that we need? I am all for moving towards wholeness and health, but we cannot really arrive there without embracing the cracks, “mess-ups”, and wayward journeys. Because these very experiences are actually what grows our honesty, our empathy, and our openness. Without them we actually become less whole. We become fake, rigid and closed. Our supposed “imperfections” are actually what lead to true perfection, which is what I would call wholeness of spirit and body, if we are reframing and perhaps reclaiming the term of perfection. So this week I want you to ask yourself, what parts are you denying of yourself for fear they take away from this image of perfection to others and maybe even just to yourself? Can you not only accept these parts of yourself and your journey, but celebrate them, and even further what if you loved on them?
This weekend, starting Thursday, we will move into the energy of depth, which most of you reading this are going to love, because we are just deep human beings. We love going into the depths of humanity. But again, I want to take a specific look at this…because I feel like depth is what has made many of us feel rejected in our lives, specifically for our level of intensity. It is often one of the top reasons we feel alone in life, because the longer we live the more we realize there are not many humans who are willing or honestly can even go to the same depths as you and I. I am sure if I took you to coffee right now, you’d have many stories around different relationships that dissipated or just straight up died, because the other person could not or would not go there with you. Our souls, yours and mine, we crave the deeper, often darker, more honest, and more intimate levels of humanity. It’s part of our nature as artists, as sensitives, as empathic beings.
Allow yourself to honor and cherish your depth this weekend. If you have it, savor community with those who also have the same depth and intensity, and if you don’t have it, consider finding ways to soak in it with your own spirit - journaling, monologuing, playing music, singing, dancing, painting, moving to your own layered and potent rhythms. Marinate in your intensity and know you are exactly who you are meant to be. Your complexity, your wisdom, and your innate richness, I believe, is what keeps our world sane. So, you are loved, whether you feel it this weekend or not. You are appreciated and needed. I see you. I see you. And I know the hurt. I’ve felt it many times too. You are not alone. You are not alone. You are among many, others just like you, reading this very email. We are scattered, but we are here.
I just want to finish by saying, I think that we can all connect and be in flow together, right now. As you read this email, may we tune in energetically, telepathically, frequency-wise to each other and join hands and move forward this week at the deeper layer. Choosing to know that there are other humans like us out in the world moving through life at the level we are, and to just trust it. Choosing to feel loved and hugged and cheered on, as we do the same for our fellows by giving this energy out as well. Perhaps as a result, you’ll run into each other. Perhaps you’ll meet someone new, a rich unexpected soul. Perhaps you’ll connect to someone already in your life on a deeper level simply because you’re holding that energy and you're trusting that it’s there. Anything is possible.
Hold this with me. May we all feel connected and in flow tonight and going forward this week. Love to you, my sweet little family of tender rich spirits.
Moon Schedule
September 29th - Moon in Capricorn
Love your skin and feed your bones and ligaments with collagen. I’m a huge fan of regular collagen as an easily digestible protein source. For my blood type As, stick with wild marine and for my blood type Os pursue grassfed/finished bovine. Capricorn speaks to our sturdiness. The webs, fibers, bones that hold us together. It is a strong part of us, but everything that is strong can only stay strong if t is well cared for and regularly supported. If you have potent or numerous Capricorn placements in your birth chart, you will feel great these next fews days - if you’ve been well supported. If you feel off, weak, lonely, compromised, vulnerable, joints popping and skin looking lack-luster… time to focus in and nourish yourself.
October 1st - Moon Moves Into Aquarius
Your eyes and your blood are the focus right now. How clear are you seeing? Any spots? Any blurriness? Are your whites, white or yellowing? These are signs to pay attention to and to address, especially if they increase over these few days. Rest your eyes often, especially from screens. I love placing my hands, slightly cupped over both eyes, and taking deep full breaths, to reset. Your blood quality and strength will show as well. Anemias from low iron or low B12 or B9 or B6 are the most common to come froward during this time, which will feel like exhaustion, brain fog, and cold extremities. General blood vessel integrity can be compromised too. Fortify yourself with mineral-rich broths and soups. Get yourself that juicy, high-quality burger or fresh wild sushi to add in bee pollen or royal jelly to your daily routine to rebuild the necessary nutrients.
October 4th - Moon Moves Into Pisces
Oh pisces, sweet pisces, you remind us to rest, to flow and be gentle. No pushing or forcing, no aggressive shake-ups, just light, almost invisible shifts and nudges. Improve your body’s lymphatic movement with water - take a bath, swim slowly, soak your feet, gently use the chi swing. Stay well hydrated. Incorporate trace minerals if you’re struggling to hold onto water. Take this time to cultivate your rest mode. How can you slow down? How can you do everything, even action, from a place of rest?
Your astrological map is a powerful tool to understand sources of chronic symptoms, health blocks, your body’s vulnerabilities and strengths, and the best preventative measures to stay strong, youthful, vibrant, and dis-ease free. I can introduce you to your map in my single session or use your astrology to dive very deep as a part of your Concierge Reset. Come see me!
