Your Weekly Oracle Reading + Astro Transits (02.26.2024)

Don't give up now.

Happy Monday, friends.

I hope this weekend provided you with ample rest, rejuvenation and clarity, especially with this Virgo Full Moon that just passed.

Some quick announcements:

• Thank you to everyone who purchased a discounted love reading for February. The special is now over and the remainder of the readings will be sent out this week 💕

• Return to Self is now on Society6! I’ve been a professional doodler since I was a kid and decided to share some of my creations with the public, so take a look at our online shop ✨

• You can still grab an early bird spot for our Egypt retreat this November! Take a look at what we have planned here, and see if it’s the right trip for you 🐪

Before I continue, I want to let you know that this will be the last newsletter until the beginning of April since I will be traveling internationally in March, but once I’m back, we’ll be on and poppin’.

As I mentioned in last week’s newsletter, the energies have been quite unpredictable, and there’s still this lingering feeling of things not being completely settled.

For that reason, I wanted to open this newsletter up to all subscribers, since this message feels important for the collective.

There are no significant astro transits for this week, but there’s still a lot of cosmic energy occurring that may be driving whatever you’re feeling.

I always recommend the app TimePassages, where you can input your birth chart information and not only see your birth chart breakdown with beautiful explanations on each placement and aspect, but also how the current transits are affecting your natal chart through their Daily Horoscope section.

Now, the last few weeks have been a rollercoaster—emotionally, mentally, spiritually and perhaps physically. I’ve felt it myself and it’s been expressed by damn near everyone I’ve spoken to.

The guidance I’ve been getting is that there is a massive death and rebirth happening collectively, and therefore within you. There’s a need to intentionally rest as this process moves forward.

You know I’m a Capricorn stellium, so I’m working even when I say I’m relaxing, but this feels different. This is a call to put everything down without judgement or shame. This is allowing yourself to slow down without fear of falling behind or not being taken care of. Wherever you can, loosen the reins and let go.

It’s OK to watch movies all day and nap. It’s OK to not feel the same drive you always do. Your body is begging you to slow down so it can process and integrate these changes in energy.

With that said, I will be staying off Instagram this week and limiting my social media activity as a whole for the time being, so the daily messages will also be on pause. This has been a stark reminder that we cannot show up for anyone if we’re not showing up for ourselves, so please honor that.

I’ll get into the message for this week shortly, but it needs to be prefaced with what has been accumulating up to this point.

You may have been diving deeper into your shadows than ever before lately, unearthing buried unconscious fears that have been sneakily sliding by for many years. In fact, you may have been facing a lot of fears that you didn’t realize you were carrying, just to see what wounds were hiding underneath.

(I talk more about that here.)

Let these Tower moments happen. Change is necessary for the next leg of this journey, because who you’ve always been isn’t going to be coming for the ride.

There’s been a palpable feeling of a death cycle occurring in order to make room for the rebirth that has been brewing for quite some time. If you’ve been experiencing this in your own life, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

Things may have been tough for a while (maybe most of your life), but there was a huge shift that occurred roughly two years ago that propelled you into a new timeline, and ever since then, you’ve been trying to reconcile with who you are in this new space.

You’ve been coming face to face with the aspects of yourself that no longer match who you knew yourself to be, habits that you know need to be let go of, patterns and people that you know need to be released. This was all part of the integration process in order to fully embody the essence of you.

Sometimes it’s not so much about becoming who you are, but unbecoming who you’re not.

As I always say, it’s darkest before dawn, and this week may try to persuade you to give up, but you’re too close to do that now.

For the energy of this week, we got the Seven of Pentacles in reverse. Now is not the time to quit. You may be feeling impatient, you may feel like everything was for nothing or that there’s no movement forward and everything was a waste, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

You can’t see the long term vision yet, because you’re still trying to make sense of something that you don’t have all the information on.

There are greater things at play here that you’re blind to, and you’re being hidden from that at this time because you’re not meant to know yet, but what you do know, and have known for perhaps your entire life, is that there is something bigger happening.

That’s why you never gave up, because the thought has crept in many times.

Let’s be real, with the Ten of Wands here, life wasn’t exactly a stroll in the park. You’ve had to carry so many burdens for so long, most of which may not have even been yours, but you made it your duty and obligation to take it on.

You may have taken on extra responsibilities (while perhaps neglecting your own) and this caused you to burn out. There was too much stress and you reached a point of exhaustion.

It makes sense that you feel like throwing in the towel, because WTF was it all even for? However, these are the thoughts that you’re being guided to challenge.

First, how do you define giving up? Because surrendering is not giving up. In fact, it’s finally allowing yourself to stop resisting everything so much and instead see how things unfold. If you’re someone who clings to control, this may be uncomfortable for you, but you might also notice how you’ve been your greatest obstacle.

Secondly, when something knows it’s about to be left for good, it will try to conjure whatever evidence it can to plead its case. Think about toxic relationships you’ve been in—when the relationship is coming to a close (for good), the toxic person will usually try to convince you otherwise, because it can sense that you’re letting go and fears being left behind.

This is what your past programming and patterns are doing right now.

They’re pleading their case. They’re trying to convince you that you still need to engage in the same behaviors and patterns, because they can feel you letting go.

The guidance for this week is the Seven of Swords. Be weary of deception—both from your own mind and from those around you who are feeling you pull away. Stick to your guns and leave no room for what you know to be true, even if all you know to be true at this point in time is that you deserve better than what you’ve always experienced.

Come up with a new strategy. Scheme your mind out of its usual tactics and be discerning with those who try to keep you stuck in the same energy that you’ve been working so hard to break free from.

What’s beautiful to see is The Lovers at the bottom of the deck and The Fool at the top of the deck.

You’re experiencing inner union and harmony whether you see it yet or not. You’re balancing out your feminine and masculine energies in a way that is ushering in this new beginning for you.

There may be a divine love or deep soul connection that has served as a catalyst for this growth. This person may have challenged your values, your perspective on relationships and your Self, and ignited a fire within you to have the confidence and resilience to strive for a better life and to remember the love that you are.

Take this leap of faith into the new journey you’re being guided to take. This will require faith, hope and fearlessness. That’s not to say fear won’t be present, because that’s unrealistic. It’s just to say fear less.

As always, when fear arises you have two options—fear everything and run or face everything and rise.

The guidance for this week is “take a field trip.”

It might be time to change your scenery so that you can reconnect with yourself.

Sometimes the best way to do that is to get out of your usual environment and experience a new place with new people and new energy—whether that’s a weekend trip away or a full vacation. For some of you, it might be a whole move to a new location. Take it as it resonates.

I always say travel is a beautiful teacher on who is hidden beneath the surface, because there’s always a sense of liberation that comes with being in a place where nobody knows who you are—you get to see who you become.

I know this slowness and rest may be uncomfortable for you, but I hope you realize that you’re worthy of this.

Your value does not lie in your achievements, what you can do or how accessible you are to everyone else. You have nothing to prove.

Your value is YOU. So, for everyone who loves and appreciates you, do them this favor by making sure you’re good, because we need you.

There’s Taurus and Sagittarius Saturn energy, as well as Aquarius moon energy and Gemini energy, so these placements may be significant for you or someone else connected to this reading as additional confirmation, but they don’t have to be.

The numerology of this reading is master number 3. In numerology, 3 is “highly original and embraces unique thinking and creative expression. This number's artistic, curious nature allows it to convey abstract ideas and find solutions others may miss. A child at heart, the number 3 never misses a chance to have fun, engage with others, and express all the love and joy it embodies.”

I’ll see you on the other side.

Have a beautiful month and take care of yourself.
