Like Revolution, Belonging Is Not A One-Time Event
Aquarius & Pisces: Electric & Eclectic February
Dear Loves,
Thank you for subscribing and making space + time to read my sharings. I hope February has brought a lot of revelation and reevaluation to your mind and heart, especially with the ending of Mercury retrograde in Aquarius. If you were having increased experience of anxiety attacks, you are not alone dear ones. Mercury Rx in Aquarius was fucking up with our nervous system - bringing (or rather forcing?) us to spaces of disequilibrium, especially mental ones as Aquarius is an electrifying air sign. The Aquarium (Aquarius Stellium XD) transit, with Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter & Saturn there, amplified the Aquarian themes for the collective. Heavier themes of feeling detached from current reality, feeling lonely despite being surrounded by supportive love, and feeling misunderstood as if you were not made of this world, those feelings were all present and valid. Concurrently, the lighter side of Aquarian reality: feeling embraced by our uniqueness, feeling liberated through our social connections, and feeling like we are our own genius were also deeply felt. I made a post inspired by the Aquarius transit since I had a moment of deep questioning of my sense of belonging in this world - especially given my current circumstances. I hope you find a relational remedy through my musings. Feel free to DM me if you have thoughts about it, I love it when my work resonates with something within others!

6 Planets in Aquarius Musings:
Audre Lorde (Aquarius Sun, Venus, Saturn & North Node) once said that “revolution is not a one-time event.” Electrifying, it is to feel and be in awe in moments of revolution, these moments are a product of time – the time dedicated to imagined realities of the future, the future where we belong.
Revolution is when, continuously and intentionally:
We rupture what was,
We reset what is,
And we radicalize what will be.
Belonging too, follows the similar wave
Belonging is felt through
Showing up for our deviance,
Showing up despite our differences,
Making the concept of divergence as the default bias,
And finding resonances and harmony in the collective genius.
Belonging is not a one-time event,
Belonging is not a one-person event.
The more spaces we revolutionize,
the more spaces available for our belonging,
the more spaces accessible for collective belonging.
Where is Aquarius located in your birth chart? If you have important fixed signs planets or fixed rising signs (Taurus, Leo, Aquarius, Scorpio) in your birth chart, I am sending you more love and healing prayers to flow with greater ease. Thank the Universe Mercury is direct now!
Pisces season has started to dissolve the piercing coldness of Aquarius weather from where I am. The transit has been kind-er especially when Venus entered Pisces - where they are exalted. Here’s a wonderful post by AliceSparklyKat on Venus:
Pisces is considered an extra potent placement for Venus to be in because Venus has all the fantasy-like and other-worldly-like tools to work with to bringing relational connections, calling in bodily pleasures, and basking in the limitless potential of our creativities. However, beware of any detrimental over-idealization and unhealthy projections! On a personal level, Venus in Pisces in my 4th House has brought more unconditional love between me and my blood-family. It has also brought financial support through my tarot offerings to beautify my bedroom space - since that has not been a priority. I am grateful for this transit especially since the end-January and early-February periods were some of the most financially stressful/anxious times in my life (ever!) of having to ration every single fucking spending, which felt exhausting. Thank you for the continued support and sustained abundance, dear universe. Also, thank you if you’ve ever engaged with my posts and shared them with your soul circles. May the Divine reward ten-fold towards your soulful abundance!
I have changed the coverage of this monthly journal to the gregorian calendar, thus covering two zodiac seasons each month - although more emphasis will be given to the previous zodiac month.
Tarot Time:
Last year, I purchased a 2021 Year Ahead Reading from Erin. My Tarot Card for 2021 is The Lovers, and I’ve had the card on my mini-altar since January to represent any soul partnerships and integration inner-work I am witnessing throughout the year. Particularly for February, my card was the Queen of Wands and they wrote:
Things are hot. Things are spicy. Things are passionate. As much as your drive to succeed and making sure your hard work is paying off, you might feel burnout easily. Your curiosity and energy are at their peak, but that is also the main reason why they easily run out. Make sure that you have the time for yourself other than focusing on work. It is easy to lose yourself in the middle of a passion because you try to get things done on time. Focus on enhancing your craft instead of rushing it.
Looking back at my February choices and decisions, the card advice was undeniably true especially in the realm of situationship and side-career: cultivating patience and discernment of where we put our soul-fire is a virtue. I pulled a card to wrap up the month: King of Cups. Interestingly, both cards (Queen of Wands & King of Cups) carry similar double elements of fire and water. Both cards represent the alchemical mastery and balance of magick, the Queen of Wands through their passion and drive and the King of Cups through their emotional sovereignty and compassion. The Tarot of The Divine provided an added layer to the interpretation with the representation of Pele (Goddess of Volcanoes & Fire, and Creator of Hawaiian Islands) and The Dragon Pearl, a Chinese legend of a poor boy who swallowed a magical pearl and was turned into a sea dragon. Both cards ultimately represent the transformation of a product in the material realm. Understanding and chasing my personal desires have been a strong theme for February, especially my desires for soulful relationships and abundance. I am reminded how it is important to acknowledge that my power comes from my presence and my purpose, again and again. Thank you for these lessons.
With Radical Rebirth, Still, I Rise
