Look at the energy surrounding us.

Solar eclipse. Six planets in alignment. Meteor shower. New Moon in Leo.

The Year of the Fire Horse.

Mercury has left retrograde. The North Node has shifted after an 18-month cycle. Pluto is retrograde in Aquarius. Saturn is retrograde in Aries. Neptune is retrograde in Aries.

The message is simple:

If you have been forcing something and it still is not working, let it go.

Stop drinking poison expecting someone else to suffer from it.

Make amends where amends are owed.

Speak clearly. Mean what you say.

Do not speak ill of the Craft while expecting the Craft to protect you.

Do not bite the hand that feeds you.

Get right with the Universe, or get got.

You might think you got away with something. You might think enough time has passed. You might think nobody saw it.

The Universe keeps receipts.

Karma has no expiration date.

The bill always comes due, and Mahadevi decides how the balance gets settled.

The Law of Equivalent Exchange is deeper than spiritual banter. Energy moves. Actions create consequences. Words carry weight. What you put into the world becomes part of what eventually returns to you.

It might take five days. It might take five months. It might take five years.

Time does not erase the seed you planted.

So today, during the hours of the Sun, burn some sage. Cleanse your home. Cleanse your altar. Cleanse yourself.

Release the resentment.
Release the negativity.
Release what has already ended.

Forgive yourself for falling short.
Forgive yourself for saying the wrong thing.
Forgive yourself for the moments when you were wayward in your kindness, loyalty, practice, discipline, or communion.

Then do better.

Forgiveness is not permission to repeat the same behavior while expecting an endless supply of grace.

An apology without changed behavior becomes another broken promise.

Be grateful for the life you have.
Be grateful for the people who poured into you.
Be grateful for your ancestors, your teachers, your community, your chosen family, your spirits, and every hand that helped carry you when your own strength was not enough.

Never convince yourself you built everything alone.
Never convince yourself you maintain everything alone.

That is ego.

You are one fractal within something far greater than yourself. You hold the power to participate in your own blessing, your own healing, your own destruction, and your own becoming.

Choose wisely.

The cycle turns whether you are prepared or not.
Change is inevitable. Change is constant. Change is the way.

From the roots to the skies. 💚
