The Corner of 8th & Insanity
Today, you don’t need to be anywhere other than where you are. Not further along. Not more perfect. Not more ready. Right here, in this exact breath, in this exact moment, the door is wide open. An epiphany isn’t waiting somewhere else. It’s not hiding at the top of a mountain or in the version of you you’re still trying to become. It’s here—in the dirt under your feet, in the rhythm of your lungs, in the silence behind your thoughts.
Stop bargaining with tomorrow. Stop measuring yourself against some horizon that never arrives. That’s the trap. That’s the delay. Power doesn’t live in the future. Power is presence. If you choose it, this moment can split you open. If you allow it, clarity can hit you like lightning right where you stand.
This is the threshold. This is the holy ground. You don’t need to chase it. You don’t need to earn it. You only need to stop running, stand still, breathe deep—and face yourself.
And when you do, you’ll realize: The breakthrough you’ve been chasing was circling you the whole time. Everything you’ve been reaching for is already in your hands. I love you dude. Keep going, keep pushing, keep striving. The best is yet to come.
Energy Is Currency: Why Traders Must Focus on Leaders and Relative Strength
There’s a universal law that most people nod at but few actually live by: everything is energy. Energy is currency. And just like dollars in a trading account, where you allocate that energy determines your outcomes.
In life and in markets, attention is the channel through which energy flows. Put your attention on distractions, and your energy is siphoned away into noise. Put your attention on leaders, strength, and momentum—and your energy compounds. For traders, this isn’t philosophy. It’s survival.
Attention Is Allocation
A trader’s capital isn’t just measured in dollars. It’s measured in focus. Each chart you watch, each news headline you consume, each narrative you entertain—it all costs energy. And energy is finite.
The mistake most traders make? They spread that focus too thin. They watch fifty tickers, chase every headline, trade every setup. The result is scattered energy and mediocre returns.
The best traders treat attention like capital: they allocate it strategically, toward the assets that are already proving themselves.
Why Leaders Matter
In every bull cycle, a handful of stocks step out ahead of the pack. They lead with explosive earnings growth, disruptive products, or undeniable momentum. These leaders are where institutional money flows.
And here’s the kicker: when you focus your energy on the true leaders, you sync your personal energy with the dominant market force. You stop fighting for scraps in laggard names and instead ride the wave of strength.
Leaders create clarity. They show you where the current is strongest. Put your attention there, and your energy compounds with theirs.
Relative Strength Is the Compass
Relative strength is the purest indicator of where energy is flowing in the market. It tells you what stocks are holding up while the indexes wobble. It tells you which names institutions can’t stop buying, even on red days.
As a trader, your job is to direct your energy into these pockets of strength. It’s not about predicting. It’s about aligning. Energy flows toward the strongest magnets in the market—and relative strength is the compass that shows you where that magnet is.
The Currency of Focus
Think of it like this:
Scattered attention → weak energy → mediocre trades.
Focused attention → concentrated energy → asymmetric returns.
When you stop chasing everything and start focusing on the select few leaders showing real strength, you’ve upgraded your energy allocation. You’ve shifted from trading like a gambler to trading like a fund manager of your own internal currency.
Practical Application for Traders
So how do you embody this?
Build a tight watchlist. Twenty stocks max. Ten is better. These should be leaders in their sector, names breaking out on volume, stocks showing superior relative strength.
Filter by strength. Ignore the laggards. If a stock can’t beat the index, it doesn’t deserve your energy.
Re-allocate daily. Just like capital, your focus must adapt. If a leader breaks down, cut it from your mental portfolio. Redirect attention toward the new leaders emerging.
Protect your mental capital. Doomscrolling, over-analyzing, chasing chatroom picks—it all drains the same energy you need to execute clean trades.
Energy Flows Where Attention Goes
The deeper truth is this: trading isn’t just about markets. It’s about resonance. When you align your attention with strength, you align your energy with growth. And when you align your energy with growth, your account becomes a mirror of that flow.
Everything is energy. Energy is currency. Where attention goes, energy flows.
In markets, in life, in trading—focus on strength, and strength becomes your return.

Pluto Retrograde
Today, I want you to tap into your ability to think and quickly and seize the moment. A part of you is comfortable running on instinct and can avoid overthinking - this genuinely helps you take advantage of opportunities that land right in your lap.
Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius: The Call to Inner Revolution
On May 4th, Pluto stationed retrograde in the sign of Aquarius. If you’ve felt the ground beneath your feet shifting this year, you’re not imagining it. The cosmic climate is charged. Planets are changing signs, old patterns are cracking open, and the intensity is undeniable.
Pluto turns retrograde for about five months every year, but each cycle carries its own weight depending on where Pluto is in the zodiac. Retrograde motion—when a planet appears to move backward through the sky—slows and magnifies that planet’s influence. With Pluto, that means transformation, shadow work, death, and rebirth. It’s never subtle. It’s the phoenix rising from the ashes, the destruction of what no longer serves so that new life can grow.
Pluto’s Arrival in Aquarius: The End of an Era
Pluto entered Aquarius on November 19th, 2024, beginning a nineteen-year transit that will reshape not only our personal lives but also the collective fabric of humanity. This marks the end of Pluto’s long stay in Capricorn, which began in 2008—a period defined by hierarchy, elitism, empire, and control. Capricorn energy tested us on how tightly we cling to established structures, even when they no longer fit.
Now the tide turns. Aquarius is about freedom, individuality, equality, and the future. It’s the sign of community, consciousness, rebellion, and technology. Pluto in Aquarius is not polite—it forces a revolution. Expect massive shifts in technology (especially AI), new frameworks for community and governance, and radical redefinitions of what it means to live authentically. The last time Pluto traveled through Aquarius coincided with the French and American revolutions. Today, the revolution is both external and internal.
The Retrograde Invitation: Turning Inward
When Pluto goes retrograde, the work is less about external events and more about self-reflection. It asks:
Where do I feel disempowered in my life?
How am I using—or misusing—my power?
What am I afraid to reveal about myself?
Who or what is draining my energy?
Aquarius energy amplifies these questions with a focus on authenticity. Are you showing up as your true, unconventional self? Or are you hiding behind masks, trying to fit into systems that no longer make sense?
This is where shadow material surfaces. The shadow is not inherently negative—it’s simply the hidden, unconscious parts of us that steer our decisions without awareness. Old childhood patterns, outdated beliefs, and buried insecurities often drive our choices about relationships, careers, and communities. Pluto retrograde brings these shadows to the surface. It can feel turbulent or irrational, but the purpose is cleansing. What is buried must be revealed in order to be healed.
Breaking Down and Breaking Free
The Capricorn era taught us about structures and control. But control often masks fear—fear of loss, fear of failure, fear of the unknown. Aquarius invites us to break free of that. The old paradigms of proving our worth through status, money, and conformity are collapsing. Pluto in Aquarius reminds us that our true value lies in living authentically, contributing to the collective, and embodying our unique frequency.
This is uncomfortable work. Transformation rarely comes wrapped in ease. Letting go of what no longer serves—whether it’s a toxic relationship, a draining job, or an outdated mindset—can feel like death. And in a way, it is. But Pluto’s promise is always rebirth. The ashes clear space for something truer to emerge.
Fear, Consciousness, and the New Currency
In today’s world, fear spreads like wildfire. The headlines, the noise, the collective anxiety—it’s contagious. Pluto retrograde challenges us not to catch the fear, but to rise above it. Consciousness is the new currency. The magic lies in knowing who you are, what you believe, and what values guide you. When you anchor yourself there, you stop being swept away by the storm.
Practical Ways to Work With This Energy
This retrograde is a time for deep reflection and conscious release. Some practices to consider:
Journaling: Write honestly about where you feel powerless, where you hide your strength, and what patterns you’re ready to let go of.
Community check-ins: Reflect on whether your friendships and partnerships are aligned with your growth—or whether they drain your energy.
Shadow work: When uncomfortable emotions surface, meet them without judgment. These are the keys to your transformation.
Surrender: Let go of control. Pluto teaches that true power comes from release, not grasping.
The Power of Surrender
Ultimately, Pluto retrograde in Aquarius is about surrender. Not surrender as defeat, but as liberation. When you stop trying to control every outcome, you make room for authentic power to emerge. Transformation is not linear. It’s messy, circular, and often uncomfortable. But the only way out is through.
As we move through this chapter, remember: you are not just witnessing a collective revolution—you are part of it. Every time you choose authenticity over fear, every time you let go of an outdated belief, every time you rise from your own ashes, you contribute to the greater evolution of humanity.
Pluto retrograde in Aquarius is your invitation to inner revolution. Step into it with courage.
Masculine Initiation
The most dangerous traders aren’t reckless.
They’re self-controlled monsters. 🐺
That’s the initiation of the warrior. You don’t repress your primal force—you integrate it. You bring the wild beast inside you under conscious command. When anger rises, you don’t let it control you. When the urge to dominate surfaces, you don’t unleash it recklessly. Instead, you harness it as fuel, as focus, as drive.
That’s why Jung and later Peterson emphasized: a “good man” is someone who has sharpened claws but keeps them sheathed until the moment truly requires them. Controlled danger, not suppressed danger.
Trading & Discipline
Trading is the perfect arena for this metaphor.
Markets tempt you to act like a reckless predator—overtrading, revenge trading, chasing every move. If you let your impulses run wild, you burn yourself out and bleed your account. That’s the harmless version of danger: it only hurts you.
But when you’re a self-controlled monster, it’s different.
You have the aggression to take a bold position when the setup is undeniable.
You have the power to size up and strike with conviction.
And you have the discipline to sit still, sometimes for days, while everyone else chops themselves to death in noise.
It’s like being a warrior in the market: you don’t swing your sword at shadows. You wait until the target is clear, exposed, and worth the strike. Then you move with speed and precision. That’s how you win.
At its Core…
A harmless trader gets eaten alive.
A reckless trader self-destructs.
A self-controlled monster thrives—because he has the fangs, but he also has the discipline to bite only when the odds are in his favor.

The Orchestra of Consciousness: How Brainwave Frequencies Shape Our Reality
Most people think of the brain as a command center—an organ that processes information, sends signals, and governs the body. But what if we flipped that perspective? What if, instead of being just a control panel, the brain is also a frequency generator? What if your lived experience of reality is being played, moment by moment, like notes in a song—determined by the rhythm of your brainwaves?
That is not just a metaphor. It’s a lived truth.
Brainwave Frequencies: The Vibrations of Mind
Every second, your brain emits tiny electrical pulses that can be measured as waves. These waves vibrate at different speeds, and those speeds are not random. They directly correspond to different states of consciousness:
Delta (0.5–4 Hz): The slowest waves. They carry you into dreamless, restorative sleep. In delta, the ego dissolves and you drop into the timeless ocean of pure being.
Theta (4–8 Hz): The dream state. Imagination, intuition, and creativity live here. Theta is the realm of symbols, visions, and inner journeys.
Alpha (8–12 Hz): A calm, relaxed but awake state. Meditation, light daydreaming, and “flow” often ride on alpha rhythms.
Beta (12–30 Hz): The ordinary waking state of thinking, analyzing, focusing, and separating. Beta sharpens the sense of “I am me and you are you.”
Gamma (30–100 Hz): The fastest measurable waves. They correlate with heightened awareness, insight, and states of expanded consciousness—moments when the brain is firing in symphonic harmony.
When the frequency slows, consciousness sinks deeper inward, into the vast ocean of unconscious unity. When the frequency speeds up, consciousness rises outward into the experience of individuality and separation.
The Illusion of Separation
At the surface, waking life feels separate. You are a person with a body, surrounded by other people, moving through time and space. That’s what beta waves gift you—the clarity of separation.
But this separation is only an appearance. Like a movie screen that seems to show countless characters and places, the truth is that everything is projected from one unified field of awareness.
When you enter dream states or deep sleep, the illusion thins. In dreams, you begin to notice how fluid and interconnected everything is. In deep sleep, you dissolve completely into the silence behind all things.
Awakening is not about escaping these cycles, but about recognizing the continuity. Waking, dreaming, and sleeping are not separate—they are variations of a single song being played at different tempos.
The Practical Inquiry: What State Am I In Right Now?
This isn’t theory—it’s practice. At any moment, you can stop and ask yourself:
What is the texture of my consciousness right now?
Is my mind racing, hyper-focused, or scattered?
Am I calm, centered, or drifting?
Do I feel connected or isolated?
The simple act of reflecting tunes you into the brainwave state you’re inhabiting. And from there, you realize: your experience of life is not fixed. It’s fluid. By shifting your state, you shift your world.
Life as a Divine Orchestra
If all of this is true, then reality itself is music. Each brainwave is a note. Each state of consciousness is an instrument. Together, humanity—and all of creation—is a symphony unfolding.
Picture it:
You are the violinist, your strings vibrating in time with your thoughts.
Someone else is the drummer, pounding out a rhythm with their actions.
Others form the brass, woodwinds, and choir of this living orchestra.
And the song? It is life itself. It is not random. It is not chaotic. It is a perfectly timed composition, both improvisational and eternal.
The astonishing part is this: you are not just one instrument in the orchestra—you are also the composer, the conductor, and the very song that is being played. You are both the part and the whole.
Living in Tune
So how do we live with this awareness?
Notice your state. Awareness itself is the beginning. The more you notice what brainwave “tempo” you’re in, the more mastery you gain over your state of being.
Practice shifting. Meditation, breathwork, movement, and music all tune your brainwaves. You can speed them up, slow them down, or bring them into harmony.
See the unity behind separation. Waking life emphasizes division, but the deeper truth is connection. Carry that awareness into your daily interactions.
Play your instrument. Whatever role you have in this life, play it with devotion. Trust that it contributes to the greater song in ways you cannot always see.
You Are the Song
When you pause and reflect, you’ll find that your brainwaves are not just a biological phenomenon—they are the vibrational strings of consciousness itself.
They create your experience of being awake, of dreaming, of dissolving into silence. They also create the illusion that you are separate. But look closer, and you’ll find that separation itself is part of the unity.
Life is a divine orchestra. A cosmic song unfolding note by note, moment by moment. And you are not just listening—you are playing. You are the music.

Pisces Full Moon - Lunar Eclipse
The Pisces Full Moon: Warrior’s Initiation for the Divine Masculine
The Corner of 8th & Insanity
There comes a moment when the warrior inside you can no longer be ignored. A moment when the mask cracks, the armor splits, and something real pushes through. It’s not a clean moment. It’s not cinematic. It arrives like a single tear you didn’t plan on shedding, rolling down your cheek like a fracture in time.
That’s when you realize: you’ve been carrying weight that was never yours.
Most men do. We inherit burdens from fathers, mothers, cultures, religions, systems. We kneel at altars we didn’t build, convinced sacrifice will earn us honor. We light candles with pieces of our own worth, convinced patience will eventually be rewarded.
But the altar was false. And the blood was always yours.
The Altar of False Masculinity
Every man knows this arithmetic:
If I just endure more, maybe I’ll finally be seen as strong.
If I forgive more, maybe I’ll finally be loved.
If I keep my mouth shut, maybe I’ll finally be accepted.
If I need less, maybe I’ll finally belong.
This is the lie men swallow. That shrinking is noble. That silence is wisdom. That self-erasure is loyalty. That disappearing will earn us love.
But all it earns is delay. Delay of your true life. Delay of your true voice. Delay of the self you were born to embody.
The veil eventually rips. You see the altar for what it is. You see how your boundaries were mistaken for obstacles. How your needs were painted as burdens. How your kindness was consumed without reciprocity. How you were praised only for your willingness to shrink.
And that’s when something in you hardens and sharpens. You blow out the candle. You leave.
You walk away—not as a coward, but as a warrior reclaiming his sword.
The Wilderness Trial
But don’t mistake the leaving for liberation. Leaving is only the first gate. What follows is the wilderness.
Every warrior passes through fire before he’s crowned. You are no different. When you walk away from false altars, the world looks like ruin. Charred. Dead. Ashes where you thought life should be.
And yet, if you stay, if you don’t run, you begin to see it—the green sprout rising from the blackened ground. Healing doesn’t arrive like a sunrise, all glory and fanfare. Healing comes like smoke after battle. Quiet. Subtle. Easy to miss.
It doesn’t look impressive. But it endures. And that’s the difference.
The Earthquake of Truth
The Pisces full moon is not gentle. It is an earthquake. It tears down the walls you’ve been hiding behind—the pretending, the performing, the armor built of lies.
And when the dust settles, there you stand. Raw. Breathing. Contradictory.
Some days you’re angry. Some days you’re tender. Some days you contradict yourself entirely. That’s not weakness. That’s proof you’re alive.
Only the living contradict themselves. The dead are consistent. The warrior in his sacred ground is messy. Bleeding, shimmering, raging, softening—sometimes all in the same day.
That is the divine masculine. Not static. Not rigid. But wild, alive, enduring.
Death and Rebirth of the Warrior
Here’s the paradox: you are both tombstone and sprout. The grave and the cradle. The place where your old self is buried and the soil where your new self begins to rise.
This is initiation.
It’s not about dominance. It’s not about eternal endurance. It’s not about disappearing into duty. The divine masculine holds death in one hand and life in the other. He knows how to fight, how to bleed, how to grieve, and how to soften.
You are not here to erase yourself. You are here to endure. To rise. To live vividly—even in pain.
This is your afterlife. The one you live before death.
The Call
You need to hear this: this moon is not asking politely. It is not inviting you to meditate in peace. It is roaring. It is tearing down walls. It is shaking the ground beneath you. It is saying: stop kneeling at false altars. Stop bleeding for those who refuse to honor your fullness. Stop starving yourself in the name of selflessness. Stand. Contradict yourself. Rage, then soften. Bleed, then heal. Shatter, then sprout.
This is your warrior’s path. This is the divine masculine reborn.
You’ve survived the fire. That’s your proof.
Now live the afterlife—while you’re still breathing.
LFG!

I know, I know. Today though, see if you can soften your heart and connect with others in a deep way. It may be your instinct to be independent, but letting yourself be vulnerable create space for growth and intimacy in your relationships. Keep at it dude, you’re doing great. I am proud of you.
Stop trying to fight your demons.
That just makes them stronger.
Bury them.
Build so much discipline on top of them they can’t breathe.
Bad habits don’t die from force — they die when you stop feeding them.
Every morning, you choose who wins: the weak version or the strong one.
And the one you feed is the one that grows.
Feed focus. Feed discipline. Feed action.
Starve doubt. Starve excuses. Starve fear.
Stack wins so high your losses get crushed under the weight.
That’s how you kill the old you. LFG.

Today, this is what I want you to reflect on. “What in your life makes you feel empowered vs what makes you feel disempowered? Power is an internal resource.
On September 7th, there will be a Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Pisces. It's marking the beginning of this powerful Eclipse Portal that's focused on relationships. This is a magical two-week period of time where unexpected things could happen, specifically around relationships. While every Full Moon tends to heighten feelings, this one could feel especially emotional because it's in the sign of Pisces. Pisces is ruled by water. It's this spiritual, emotional energy that wants to merge. It's about falling in love and connecting with something greater than itself. Eclipse portals are very mysterious, especially with this one, because the North Node eclipse is about your destiny. Whenever you're in that kind of portal, it's trying to transform your life and push you forward in the most progressive and healthy ways.

“It’s not the pretty sunset that changes you, the soul only wakes up when your eyes can’t handle what they’re seeing. We think awakening comes from lotus flowers and meditation cushions but it actually comes from staring directly into the thing that makes you want to close your eyes and never open them again”
Wisdom is not work done once. It’s work you must continue to do. The mind & ego battles against itself - against prejudices, its simplifications, its conceits, its patterns, its demons.

Today, I want you to tap into the side of you that’s incredibly connected to your emotions and physical energy. Ideally, you can feel secure in knowing that you’re following a path that feels right on all levels…. if something doesn’t make you feel alive inside, i need you to say no, it is not for you.
Heyyyyyooooo! So, we’re stepping into some pretty intense energy with the Double Eclipse Equinox of September 2025. After riding the Lion energies of August, we’re hitting one of the biggest turning points of the decade. It’s like a Double Eclipse-Equinox Portal, a gateway for rebirth, getting us ready for a brand new 9-year cycle starting next year.
Right now, in the planetary grid and our collective consciousness, we’re on the edge of something huge—a revival of both the original feminine and masculine spirits. Pretty cool, eh!?
On September 7-8, a Total Lunar Eclipse Blood Moon will light up the skies, sending us into the deep end of soul reclamation, shadow clearing, and ancestral healing. Then, two weeks later, on September 21, a Partial Solar Eclipse veils the Sun just hours before the Autumnal Equinox—the time of harvest, a threshold between life and death, and that sacred balance of light and dark. This double eclipse equinox portal is happening within one lunar cycle, creating a cosmic initiation chamber where our old selves (and the old world) collapse, and a new self is born.
Humanity’s standing at the brink of a major shift—from adolescence to adulthood. Together, we’re overcoming the temptations of our shadows: comfort, laziness, addiction, materialism, and dodging responsibility—to claim our destiny. The forerunners, a small group of humanity, are leading this maturation process. They’re like human wayshowers, walking through the valley of shadow, triumphing over death and decay. They’re grabbing their destiny by the horns, fueled with a passion for life, and lighting up with fire and purpose.
The Equinox is that still point between yin and yang, life and death, this world and others, supercharged by the solar eclipse. Light gets swallowed into shadow so it can be purified, restored, and emerge truer. The potency of this alchemical gateway can’t be overstated for those forerunners ready for the next level of their lives.
There’s a revival of both high feminine and masculine blueprints flowing through the collective right now. Women are waking up to their true nature, breaking free from societal confines and restrictions. Spells and curses of submission, giving up our voice and inner dreams, and taking a backseat to others are being broken. At the same time, the pain of abuse and victimization is dissolving through this activation. We’re restoring our Wholeness!
A new kind of woman is rising from the ashes—one who’s fully reclaimed her joy, brilliance, empathy, intelligence, ability to nurture, love, build legacy, and lead nations in her own way. We’re bursting through the spell of women becoming men, but remembering how whole, multifaceted, and powerful women inherently are. This healed woman moves beyond hatred and fracture from the masculine, reclaiming her wholeness. She feels peace and sovereignty to stand by his side—not as superior, not as a follower, and not as an adversary—but as companions and co-creators, as God created us to be.
The masculine spirit is waking up on tremendous levels too. His/OUR journey through the underworld is wrapping up, and we are preparing to overcome the shadow principalities that have kept us in shackles for eons. The shadow has locked men in addiction to power, glory, sensuality, and self-rejection. But the final hour of victory over these forces of darkness is coming, and the Eclipse-Equinox window is calling men into their destiny. Human men are being initiated through the darkness to reclaim their pillars as Kings—protectors, guardians, and stewards of physical strength and power.
This new kind of man being resurrected now will realize that the war between good and evil happens within our psyche. He’ll stand at nothing to destroy the evil of this world and ensure a safe, peaceful world for all of life. He answers the call of destiny with a steady, strong heart and feet, carrying strength through devotion and tenderness with life itself. He protects not out of simple duty, but out of a profound love for life and the sacred. The Kings return not with armies of armor and swords, but with a planetary tribe of men with light in their hearts and holiness on their tongues.
Anyone reading this should tune in and ask God how you can prepare and allow these powerful energies to transform your life.
LETS FUCKING GO!

“She who unmakes you, makes you. The fool wants a woman who confirms him. The wise man finds one who ruins him correctly. Shallow women make shallow graves. You can climb out unchanged. The deep ones plant you so far down you meet your own roots, finally understand what you’re growing from”
Movement is life never stop moving - doesn't matter if you end up backwards or forwards. Stagnation rots the mind and soul, while momentum begets energy acceleration. The farther you walk and the more you shift, the more opportunities you'll find in places you never anticipated.
“What makes a great decision is not that it has a great outcome. A great decision is the result of a good process, and that process must include an attempt to accurately represent our own state of knowledge. That state of knowledge, in turn, is some variation of “I’m not sure”.

And right when you least expect it, the divine timing will reveal itself. Doors you didn’t even know existed will open, and the weight you carried will finally lift. You’ll find yourself glowing, not because life became perfect, but because your spirit learned how to rise.
“Intelligence is not thinking correctly but thinking dangerously. The thoughts that horrify you contain the truths that could save you, and the mind that refuses its own darkness will never find its light. Wisdom begins when you stop running from the monsters in your head and start asking them what they know about the world that your angels are too polite to mention”
“Men are cursed to love stones that will never bleed for them, to serve fires that will never warm them. Masculine love is unrequited by design, and the moment you demand love back from your principles you stop being principled, demand gratitude from your sacrifice you stop being sacrificial, demand recognition from your mission you stop being a man and become a child throwing tantrums at the universe for not applauding your devotion”

Today, or any day for that matter when you’re feeling more sensitive than usual, try to slow down, conserve your energy, so you don’t feel overwhelmed. It is okay to retreat from the world for a little while, and spend that time grounding, breathing, doing that which ignites the passion in you. Play is grounding.

“Many are clearing deep wounds rooted in the experience of being used, exploited or taken advantage of.
This wounding creates a protective aversion to being seen, to awakening your gifts, to accessing resources or sharing your knowledge.
But your purpose requires these things.”

Its time for a rest. The next three weeks I want you focusing on grounding, organizing, and setting these plans into motion. Don’t worry about chasing, you won’t need to what so ever. Its all coming to you, dude.
Today though, I want you to try and engage with life a little bit more creatively. It can be your instinct to solve problems quickly and directly, but its also important to look for meaning in all things, whether or not hey have a concrete use. The more you can open your mind, the more aspect of your life can seem purposeful.
…
Venus, the planet of love and relationships and feminine energy and feminine power, changed signs from Cancer to Leo.
It's a shift from water to fire. Leo is a fire sign. It's autonomous and creative and free, and it doesn't need permission or validation to shine.
By sharing its light, it makes everybody else light up. And right away, Venus in Leo is going to form an opposition with the deeply transformative outer planet, Pluto, which is in Aquarius.
Pluto wants to strip away what's not essential or authentic, and you can apply that to your relationships and your relationship values. This is a shift from an energy that is more emotional and sensitive and more internal and introspective - towards fire.
Leo is about expressing your love and self-love in a big and bold way. So Venus in Leo, this moment is encouraging you to step out into the world, to be yourself, and to shine.
Leo is about loving yourself so unconditionally that it inspires others to love themselves. So it's about being bold in your actions and moving from the heart and loving from that more emotional place than necessarily a feeling sensitivity place.
In its highest expression, Leo comes from the heart, not from the ego. It's one of the most generous signs, because it's coming from a place of abundance. Its confidence is meant to inspire others and not to dominate them.
Again, right now Venus is opposing the outer planet Pluto. So this opposition can add some themes around death and rebirth and transformation in your relationships and your relationship to yourself.
Right now, this is an incredible time to assess your relationship with self-love. Again, Leo's confident. It's into what it's into, but in a way that's meant to be contagious, not self-centered.
So this is a moment to start thinking of loving yourself as a principle to live by. You've let yourself fall into the belief that you're unlovable, this is a moment to transform all that.
This energy is encouraging you to love yourself, to put yourself out there, to be able to share yourself. That's the greatest contribution you can give, is to share your energy in the most healthy way. The Leo energy is very animated right now, so the shadow sides might come out.
If you notice that you start getting a little too attached to needing to be the center of attention or to external praise, it might mean that your ego is getting a little activated. It's about coming back to a place of balance and channeling this energy in the most positive way.
Whatever inspiration comes through you, it's just meant to be that. It's not a value judgment or proof that you're better than anyone else.
This is a time about being the individual that you are and being comfortable in your own skin. And even if you're not feeling that, understand that that energy is available to you right now to work with and to channel, even if it's baby steps of just being less critical day to day and trying to encourage yourself.
Or even if it means distancing yourself to people that don't feel good for you, any act of self-love is basically encouraged right now. It's a beautiful energy to play with, to enjoy, and to just soak it in while it's very alive right now.

Let yourself lean. On chairs, people and on time. Old photographs are portals, not proofs. Let memory come as a visitor, not a trespasser. Pets, plants and people may ask for more closeness, give it if you can. You are part of the moon’s history, not just its witness. Taste your food slowly, it carries the labor of hands unseen. Let music undo you, for it knows where words cannot go. Hold what feels fragile, but not forever, care is meant to circulate. Your skin knows safety, listen when it exhales. A room remembers how you’ve live in it. Treat it gently. Tears are salt water, like oceans, like origins. Ask not what is efficient, but what is nurturing.
The more you build routines, habits, and systems that support your mental, physical, and emotional well-being, the better you'll trade. And the better you'll feel.
Performance and peace of mind go hand in hand.

Today’s a great day to think about any parts of your personality that you might have shut down in response to disappointments. You can be quick to react and might move on before integrating situations that don’t go your way. By embracing even the vulnerable parts of you, you can reclaim your joy and confidence
The purpose of this First Quarter Moon in Scorpio is to get you to look at your feelings and your deepest desires. Are you coming from a place of abundance where you're genuinely excited about what you're doing? How are you spending your energy, your currency? Your heart is meant to soften and your sensitivity to heighten right now. It probably feels a little bit like a dream state and that the world doesn’t have a solid basis. Does it feel like your reality is dissolving? Almost like you’re in a time outside of time.
Raw, Wild & Unapologetic
Its okay to feel confused about who you are. It’s not even necessarily a moment to solidify direction but instead just remain open. I think you have a pretty good grasp on the general direction, but what I am saying is that it could fork and redirect, curve, and bend. Just keep your mind open to it. You’re going through a transformation, this energy is initiating that change. You’re being opened up to to other ways of defining yourself in the world, and ultimately aligning you with your intended life purpose.
The energy in the air is leading you to think about a life that allows you to tap into your higher ideals and spiritual values. You signed up to feel everything. To remember the world when it forgets itself. You came here to build homes from your own heart, and to remind people that soft is not weak. You are the first flame. Almost as if to crash into the world even before the world was ready. You will show others how to start, and that its never too late. Dude, you came here to fight for your own becoming which is raw, wild and unapologetic.

Today’s vibe… Can you notice the areas where you previously displayed defensive behavior?
The souls meant to walk beside you are the ones who move with love, speak with kindness, and honor you with unwavering respect. Anything less is not a connection, but what a shadow of of what true companionship is meant to be. People have a tendency to think you are aggressive. You’re not. You’re just honest, fast, and tired of overthinking what you ultimately feel in your gut. Kind of funny when they say you’re too emotional, eh? They just don’t realize how strong you are to carry that much feeling and still show up with softness. Don’t stop being you.
If pain can purify the heart, mine will be pure
The ridiculous thing about those with a superiority complex is that really, it’s just a defense mechanism of overcompensation. It’s largely due to a severe inferiority complex. Generally, it hides behind ideology. Why you find so many turning their blind faith into a weapon. What should liberate souls actually becomes their chains, sanctifying power instead of love, and control instead of compassion.
Sacred rage doesn’t destroy, it liberates
What you feel may sometimes seem sudden or illogical, but that’s because your emotions are rooted in intuition, not evidence. Its’s like sensing the unseen while everyone else trusts what is right in front of them. People mask the truth. But your emotional radar picks up the energy on and beneath the surface. Trust it. You start to spiral when you overthink what you’re already right about. Stop trying to logic your way through intuition, it dosen’t speak in fact, it speaks in feeling. Your emotions are not random. They’re premonitions and foreshadowing. Your intuition always proves itself, so just give it time and like a muscle keep using it. Stop second guessing the truth you feel and start believing it now.. The alternative learning the hard way, which generally show up as lessons and experiences that force you to listen.

Today, I want you to set the intention to be patient with yourself and acknowledge your recent growth. It can be your instinct to want to find answers right away, but there is also a lot of wisdom to be gained by slowing down and reflecting on what you have learned. Thats called integration, and you’re doing an incredible job. Keep at it. I know you’ve noticed the moments that would’ve previously got you hung up. Dude, that is growth.
Heart Opening Shift
Cancer is a water sign, duh, you know. It’s emotional and doesn’t have boundaries. That is the energy in the air. For everyone, its about sitting in the heart. So just let the feels flow. I think to a degree, this comes natural to you. Right now, it would behove you to lean into vulnerability and contemplate your relationship with both giving and receiving. This really is the time to think about you. Because you deserve it too. I hope you know that. The more vulnerable you are, especially right now, the deeper level of intimacy you will find. And, I know, that is what you crave. To be seen, to be heard and understood, to be held and to be loved for you who you are. The intimacy in your life will strengthen the foundations of your life but only so as you are willing to communicate your sensitivity. You are a cancer sun your sensitivity and intuition is your superpower. You’ve got this, LFG.

Endings are making space for divine new beginnings. You are a vessel of creation, source flows through you, pouring ideas straight into your spirit. You are not just worthy of abundance, but you are abundance in motion. Don’t fear the shift. Its just aligning you with the life that has always been yours. You are to be of service to others. Give & you will receive.
The fires that you’ve chosen to walk through is a purification process. A purification of the soul. It strips and burns away everything that is untrue. When you emerged, it wasn’t emerging as something new, its what and who you’ve always been. Think of it this way, it has bee na rebirth in the flames of your own becoming. I know you stood at the edge, the absolute depths of the dark. God watched what you chose to do, every breath, every tear, every time you chose to surrender more, surrendered deeper and fuller. What once chained you, now bows.
Exalted, Liberated Chiron

Saturn, the controller of karma.
The Sun, controller of confidence.
You know, this morning did not go according to plan. You shifted, and it worked out and I just wanted to say that I was proud of how you handled it. You were amped to get out for that sunrise hike, although you needed a bit more rest and overslept. The storms last night were loud and in all fairness, I bet it would’ve been a swamp out there on the trail. Perhaps Thursday might work best, although lets just take it day by day or maybe even plan on a sunset hike instead.
It is better to be hated for what you are, than loved for you are not.
The thing about Leo season is that it comes with the summer heat. You can either be cleansed by the fire and step in and on your brightest path, your purpose or be consumed by the fiery flames and like many, lost in throes of your own bullshit and heavy eratic emotion. Right now make it about yourself, the fire in your soul is raging. Don’t try to tame it, whatsoever. LFG.
You’re outgrowing things. You’re shedding.
Energy has been a little weird this week as Mercury retrogrades into a cazimi on the 31st. It feels like in-between timelines as the old dies but the new doesnt quite have any momentum yet. The retrograde’s midpoint is on the 31st and i think in the near term everything will become a lot more clear. Ground, breathe and slow down. Listen to your body, it’s tell you. Every, single day, i expect you to spend time doing what you enjoy. This is a non-negotiable. August is going to be a huge month all around. Stay focused. Remain locked in. Transformation of the old self and giving birth to the new is sacred. Outgrowing ourselves is beautiful and strange. But also feels strangely familiar in every cell of our being, once we start to remember. I have faith in you man, Love you. Lets fucking go.

The Universe is exposing who you should cut ties with. Some connections, energies and patterns are anchors disguised as comfort, and the Universe won’t let you ascend while carrying what was never meant to climb with you. Pay attention. If it doesn't align, decline.

Im afraid to tell you where it hurts.
What if you see me as master -
Or worse, unrepairable?

Today, is a great day to just let your senses lead the way. It may be your instinct to follow your routine, but try tuning into what you’re feeling instead. Interesting things happen when you deviate from your plans. In fact…. Get to it, Sunrise Hike tomorrow. LFG
Saturn is about the rules in the world. Its boundaries, and blocks and it’s manifesting. It pushes you to prove yourself, to work hard. It is ambitious. Slow down, and reflect on your commitments. Have compassion for yourself. The slow down and timing of this is intentional and creating space for you to evaluate and assess you and your needs. I know slowing down is hard. But now, more than ever is the time to listen and lean into it. Discomfort right now is bringing to the surface the truth and the reality of your life, your choices, your direction and where you’re going. Focus on what give you a sense of purpose and meaning.
