Sacred Rose Dear Blossoming Soul, I’m really good at keeping clutter. Not out in the open.It gets tucked into drawers and closets.Hidden in corners.Out of sight. My shared spaces need to look clean. Orderly. Put together.So the mess goes underground. I sweep things off the counter into a drawer.I shove them into a closet.I tell… Continue reading Day 25: Waxing Gibbous in Gemini
Sacred Rose Dear Blossoming Soul, Love in stories and fairy tales is often made out to be intense.High highs. Low lows.Battles to be won. Enemies turned lovers. Passion fueled by longing. And because we absorb these stories so deeply, it’s easy to mistake this sort of intensity for love in our real lives. I know… Continue reading Day 24: First Quarter in Gemini
Sacred Rose Dear Blossoming Soul, I have spent a good chunk of my life trying to prove that I am worthy of love. I remember once having the gut feeling that a partner was being dishonest with me in our relationship. Instead of confronting it, I got scared. Scared that naming the truth would cause… Continue reading Day 23: Waxing Crescent in Taurus
Sacred Rose Dear Blossoming Soul, I measure myself against so many things. Today, I’m letting go of what isn’t mine to carry. Mostly, the voice in my head that still compares me to my sister.The one that says I’m not enough. Not pretty enough.Not smart enough.Not enough in the ways that used to matter when I was… Continue reading Day 22: Waxing Crescent in Taurus
Sacred Rose Dear Blossoming Soul, It’s easy to live in the future. To believe that if I just had this, I’d be happy.If only I accomplished that one thing, everything would finally feel perfect. But life is happening now. It isn’t waiting for the raise, the job, the house, the vacation, or the next accomplishment. It’s… Continue reading Day 21: Waxing Crescent in Aries
Sacred Rose Dear Blossoming Soul, It has always been relatively easy for me to meet new people and step into new spaces. Not always comfortable, because new can be scary, but once I’m there I genuinely love it. I love conversation. I love connection. I’ve always considered myself an extrovert. But lately, as I’ve been… Continue reading Day 20: Waxing Crescent in Aries
Sacred Rose I get in my own way so much. So today asks me to get out of my way.To acknowledge that I’m not alone.That I am surrounded by love. I remember when this truth struck me for the first time. I was camping, a small respite from a life that felt overwhelming. Even there,… Continue reading Day 19: Waxing Crescent in Pisces
Sacred Rose Dear Blossoming Soul, Receiving is a tender lesson for me. One I’ve been practicing with real intention over the past year. I didn’t realize how difficult it would be to receive.To allow.To accept.To sit still long enough for something to reach me. Receiving asks for the things I’ve spent most of my life… Continue reading Day 18: Waxing Crescent in Pisces
Sacred Rose Dear Blossoming Soul, I carry everything. I’m afraid that if I set anything down, it won’t get done. The simple things, like the dishes, the laundry, the bills.If I don’t do it, no one will. But it’s the bigger things, too.Making the plans.Determining my path.Placing one foot in front of the other with… Continue reading Day 17: New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius
Sacred Rose Dear Blossoming Soul, The truth is… I’m scared. I’m scared I’ll be alone.That I’ll fail.That once I stop controlling everything, something will fall apart. Control has been my way of staying ahead of disappointment.Of trying to guarantee an outcome.Of making sure I’m never caught off guard. Control doesn’t create safety, just the illusion… Continue reading Day 16: Waning Crescent in Aquarius
