Dear Souls on the Other Side of this Screen in the Shared Solar System!
I hope this email finds you well with some intentional spaciousness to do some things that bring you into a deeper sense of embodied awareness today and this weekend. This is a wish that I have for anyone who is intuitively drawn to this practice and especially today, which is a new moon in Taurus (which governs the body) alongside many other placements in Taurus today including Sun, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus, and the North Node.
I have cosmic alignment a lot on my mind today because after years of wanting to make Solar System pancakes, today was the day. If you're ever looking for a project that can potentially take hours to make, this is the project for you! I saw my dear friend Dara Cole post about making these on Instagram years ago when her son was really into the solar system. Desmond has been really into the solar system for about two years now, and it's stayed in the back of my mind, "I really wanna make those solar system pancakes!"
Today, the stars aligned.
He was ecstatic, and so was I.
I'm curious for you: what have you had in the back of your mind, orbiting around your heart's true desire for years now, and today just might be the day to call on the courage to take the next best step?
In addition to solar system pancakes, there are a few big decisions in my life that have been emerging for awhile. To move forward, I realize today the need for a few simple things: my clear decision and action that is aligned with them.
In addition to honoring the power of my mind to decide, the power of my body to act, I also wish to invoke the power of my heart as it aligns love with will. That all action be rooted in love.
How to do that? For me, it's often bringing whatever is present in life to a place of ritual and ceremony, and my most inspired way of doing that is my making a nature offering. I believe every day is a good day for a nature offering and again, especially today, as Taurus is an earth sign.
If you're deciding what is most valuable for yourself to put attention on today, I'd like to offer that the practices of Qoya Inspired Movement and making nature offerings are things I've found I never regret. I've yet to hear myself say, "I wish I hadn't made a little time to listen to my body and move in a way that feels nourishing" or "I can't believe I slowed down enough to say thank you to life by making something beautiful and resonant from my heart."
I call on the energy of Taurus to simplify what is most important, to decide, and to commit to the path of things that take time to build, because they are worthy of our whole-hearted commitment.
As a recap for the new moon in Taurus, I invite you to:
1) Notice what you feel called to cultivate courage for to take your next best step.
2) Deepen your embodied awareness. As a reminder, you can access free online videos here, sign up for retreats here, and look out for upcoming classes here.
3) Make a nature offering. I strongly encourage people to trust themselves here, and if it's helpful, we made this resource document to get you started on different approaches.
Blessings on your embodied path!
With love,
Rochelle
P.S. I did happen to pull an astrology chart for the first Qoya Inspired Movement class on March 1, 2009 and found out that it has a Taurus Moon! So happy moon to Qoya!
