Lost in Turbulence

It’s okay to feel lost. You have never been this version of you. You have never lived this stage of your life before. If you’re trying to do things differently I see you. Your efforts matter. Please don’t give up.

Our collective is a shitshow and the turbulence will not cease. It is time for us all to individually step up, so that the people as a whole can awaken. And that means getting to know yourself really well. All the ins and outs, the strengths and weaknesses, and how to use them all effectively.

It is the time where we recognize our structure cannot be one of capitalistic greed, but that we must come together and form independent communities. We all have something we can offer as individuals that we can contribute to the whole.

I highly encourage getting to know yourself through meditation, self-reflection, your astrological blueprint, and your amazing human design. These tools can assist you in understanding the current energy surrounding your life, and what you’re meant to do with it.

This journey isn’t comfortable. I’m warning you that self-understanding is the most brutal of journeys. However, even a basic understanding can help you make better aligned decisions, and change the entire trajectory of your life. Liz and I would love to be the ones to walk you through that.

Our first episode for August will be released next weekend. It will contain horoscopes for all Rising Signs, as well as a detailed report of the month. I highly encourage you to follow The Grand Rising Podcast. If you can’t afford a reading right now please subscribe and comment on our podcast to be entered into a drawing for a free comprehensive reading.

Let’s walk through some examples, shall we?

As a Leo Rising I am meant to become the roaring wildfire in charge of leading the way to authenticity and self-love. The ruling Sun is in the opposite 7th house, suggesting I will learn that through my personal and professional relationships. And the Sun is between Mars and Mercury.

Mars rules my 4th and 9th houses. So, this suggests that I will carry generational cycles over into my partnerships, but it would somehow lead me to higher wisdom and purpose. Mercury rules my 2nd and 11th houses, which can suggest I earn resources once I learn my value, and collaborate with the right people. Because the 11th house is Gemini I would likely do this through communication of some sort.

However, with Saturn in the 2nd, ruling the 6th and 7th, this can speak to my own resources and values being limited, and a partner working, while I stay at home and be all domestic. That’s what my first marriage was. There was financial abuse along with all other types of abuse.

Since leaving him I have worked hard to provide for myself. With a South Node in Pisces I definitely know how to allow others to take care of me, but that always comes with regret. So, I’ve taken matters into my hands.

I write a blog. I co-host a podcast. I put my thoughts out on social media. The difficulty is that we are all our own worst critics, but when you have a Virgo 2nd house this is even truer. There is no one in the world who could make you feel as bad about yourself as you do.

The ruler, Mercury is in the 7th house conjunct my chart ruling Sun. So what others I care about say about me (Mercury in the 7th), affects my self-worth (Virgo 2nd house), and causes wounds to my identity and pride (Sun ruling the Leo first house).

You can add to this when you notice that my Moon is there conjunct Saturn, and Saturn rules my 6th and 7th houses. I am emotionally invested in other people because I truly do value connection and being of service. With the North Node in Virgo it speaks to the first half of my life being ostracized, feeling like I matter to no one, while being desperate to matter.

As difficult as the Moon conjunct Saturn can be it speaks to a long-term gift of emotional intelligence. And that the day would come where I would put so much work into emotional intelligence (Saturn ruling the 6th house of work) that it would turn into something I value above all else (2nd house).

Saturn is also trine my sixth house Venus. This can suggest me one day earning resources through helping people with relationship issues. And while my relationship isn’t perfect it is healthy. And I do have a leg to stand on when I speak on these things.

The Moon rules my 12th house. Whatever is in the 12th house is what we never really knew. It is the trauma that triggers us to project and sabotage our desires. For me that is Cancer. So emotional nurturing was absent and the mothering I longed for was never there.

For Leo Risings it can be a challenge not to end up as a deadbeat parent. But you can see that the ruler of my house of children (Jupiter) is in the house of self and identity (Leo). So becoming a mother mattered to me. My children’s view of me mattered more than anyone else. And this is what led to my motivation to change my entire life.

Because I have a Libra 3rd house I know I need to be careful. That my natural instinct is to jump into fawn response and people pleasing. But with an Aries 9th house I am meant to be a warrior who stands up for herself. It can also speak to my love of words and poetry. It’s such an aesthetic. And our opposites teach us where we need to balance.

The ruler of my 3rd is Venus and she is in the sixth house, Capricorn. This suggests that the work I do is centered around communication and mindset (3rd house), that the communication is about relating (Libra), and that teaching others how to relate is part of the work I’m here to do (Venus is relationships in the house of work and rules my career house, too).

Funnily enough I am doing my first in-person relationship reading today. I will be sitting down with a couple and going over each of their charts, what they are experiencing individually, and what they are meant to overcome together. I am very excited for this.

With a Scorpio 4th house we can see that the grudges I’ve held in my life are with home, family, and parents. Mars is the ruler in the 7th house and is square Uranus in the 4th house. Every shock or sudden disruption in any relationship I have I once blamed on my parents, but I realized if I didn’t change I was no better than them. It was on me.

And Scorpio is the area of life you transform the most over time. I left an abusive marriage and home. I have now created a beautiful home with a healthy partner. And with Mars in the 7th it can show more than one marriage in your life. It also shows I got married the first time for religions reasons. Mars rules my house of religion from my partnership house.

Chiron was conjunct my Mars the day I got married.

There is so much you can learn about yourself through the chart. Transits are a guide to the next level. They don’t make things happen. They are the oracle of what is happening.

The Moon is in my house of public image in trine to my Saturn, natal Moon, and Venus. I am emotionally invested in this venture. I am writing a public blog and recording a public podcast. What’s crazier is that Venus rules my 3rd house, too. The 3rd house is where cousins fall, and Venus can represent women and money.

I had a female cousin reach out to me today stating that she is talking to her upline to see if they can help us out financially in order to keep our home. The talk will be on Tuesday, so I’ll have to look at my transits for that day to determine the potential outcome of the conversation.

The transit Sun isn’t doing anything to my natal placements. It’s just hanging out in the house of my identity. However, Uranus transiting the tenth is in square to my natal Sun. These are challenges related to putting myself out there. To trusting people to follow and believe in my message.

The only transit in the sky today is the Moon in Taurus sextile Saturn in Pisces. This is my tenth house and eighth house. So something positive could come that helps me through someone else’s resources.

You can see that we need help in a few ways. First I’ve been in my Uranus opposition for a while. This has heightened the level of sudden and shocking events with home and family. It’s caused a need to go public with our situation and ask for help. We are in danger of losing our home.

So then we would want to see what Mars is doing, since he rules the 4th house of home. He formed a conjunction to Uranus on July 15th, and then he moved into Gemini. Things are going well for my career, and I am indeed networking with others in order to earn more money and get us elevated from our current position.

Mars is not currently aspecting anything in my chart, but he did, and he will again soon. In Taurus he squared my Mars, my Sun, and my Mercury. The conjunction he made to Uranus squared my ruling Sun, and I ended up with Covid. Next he will square my Saturn, Moon, and North Node.

This will affect my resources, my values, my work, and my relationships. It is because of my relationship that I’ve had to figure out a new way to create resources. He is sick and cannot work.

You can see this again through Saturn transiting the 8th house of other people’s resources that benefit me. My partner’s resources were restricted. This is in opposition to my natal Saturn and Moon. So it reflects back to me the need to create my own resources.

I told you guys before a man is not a good financial plan. Don’t be a trad wife. If he doesn’t get bored, cheat, and leave, he can get sick, lose his ability to earn, and eventually die. Where does this leave you? But maybe that’s just my North Node and Saturn Moon talking here.

I could go on and on. My one-on-one session for an individual is about an hour, and we still wouldn’t be able to cover everything in detail. But it’s a great start in getting to know yourself and understanding what is happening in your life at this time.

Namaste
