Whew—August really flew by and kept me busy, busy, busy! The last time I posted was in July, and suddenly here we are at the very end of August. What have I been up to? Oh, you know… just officially becoming an Aussie citizen (huge milestone!), celebrating my hubby’s birthday, and juggling a few behind-the-scenes shifts.

As we dive headfirst into September, let’s remember we’re also entering the portal of eclipse season. If you’ve been feeling like you’re going a little crazy, ready to torch everything you’ve built this year, or just anti-social AF—you are not alone. Eclipse season has a way of stirring chaos magic both in the world and within us.

This blog is going to be a little ADHD-coded today because, since it’s been a while since I last wrote, I’ve got a few things I wanna chat about.

First off—Love Island USA. For the past five weeks, I’ve been glued to my screen watching this season unfold. Maybe it’s the Aquarius in me, but I’ve been riding for this show since Season 2—before it really blew up. I’ve also watched all the Aussie seasons and a few UK ones, so it’s fair to say I’ve seen a lot of bombs drop and couples crash and burn.

It’s been a few weeks since I last sat down to write, but after crossing through the energetic portal of the solstice, I’ve felt a shift. A wave of clarity has been moving through me. I cleaned and organized my home, reconnected with a younger version of myself who’s been holding onto resentment, and sat in deep gratitude for how far I’ve come since the last solstice.

Today, something clicked.

So listen—while rewatching True Blood for the 7th time (as any dedicated fangirl would), I caught something that I completely missed in my previous watch-throughs. In Season 2, the main antagonist is a Maenad named Maryann. And before we go any further, let me break down what a Maenad even is:

I didn’t plan on going quiet for a few weeks, but it turns out life had other plans for me. I found myself in the middle of a major transition—both personally and professionally—and honestly, I just didn’t have the words. I felt tired. Not just physically, but soul tired.

Tired of putting myself on display.
Tired of constantly selling my services.
Tired of figuring out new ways to describe my gifts, my medicine, and the very real, deep healing I offer.

Welcome to May — a month that brings both stability and movement. It’s like we’ve got one foot planted firmly in the ground and the other ready to float off into the breeze. We’re in Taurus season, grounded in earth, security, and sensuality. But Gemini season is just around the corner, asking us to be curious, flexible, and open to new ideas.

You might be feeling this push and pull — the desire to plant deep roots while also itching to try something different. If that’s you, take a breath. You’re not doing it wrong. You’re in the in-between.

When I think of Easter, I think of rabbits and eggs—which are both symbols of fertility and abundance. And guess what? That’s exactly what Taurus season is all about too.

This year, we’re getting a double reminder to consciously step into abundance—in both our inner and outer worlds. With the upcoming New Moon in Taurus, we’re being called to replant our most precious seeds—but this time, in more fertile soil. The last time we planted, the conditions weren’t quite right for harvest. Our dreams may have started to grow, but they couldn’t fully bloom. So we were asked to dig things up, revisit our plans, and approach them with more wisdom.

I just finished the season 3 finale of White Lotus, so if you haven’t seen it yet… spoiler alert! This is your sign to click away now. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Okay, for everyone still here—you’ve seen the finale, gone through all five stages of grief, and are now sitting with the bittersweet ache of a Mike White masterpiece. Once again, he gave us just enough to stay hooked while expertly denying us the closure we thought we needed.

I realized that from a young age, I was conditioned—like so many women—to make myself smaller, to be agreeable, to suppress my emotions, desires, and truth. Every time I was silenced by my parents or authority figures, my body was learning to hold things in rather than express them.

I also discovered that Graves’ disease is genetic—likely passed down from my mother, who was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in the 90s, before Graves’ was widely recognized. This illuminated something powerful: the illness wasn’t just mine to carry—it was also ancestral.

As I continued researching, I found a deep connection between the throat chakra and the thyroid. Our throat chakra governs our ability to express ourselves, speak our truth, and stand in our authenticity. The more I understood this, the more I saw the direct link between my suppressed voice and my autoimmune condition.

As a Manifesting Generator, I thrive on freedom—the ability to pivot and follow where my energy feels most aligned. And when I first started this job, I loved it. For the first nine months, I was eager to learn, challenge myself, and be an asset to my team. But over time, the spark faded. I found myself tiptoeing around management, absorbing the stress of the office, and taking on emotional regulation for everyone around me. That’s the double-edged sword of being an empath—you naturally hold space for others, but without boundaries, it becomes overwhelming.

According to my natal chart, my North Node is in Pisces in the 8th house—which, in a nutshell, means I came into this life to release perfectionism and learn to trust and surrender to the process. Pisces is the sign of intuition, dreams, and expanded perspectives, and being in the 8th house—the realm of death, rebirth, shadow work, and shared resources—this placement calls me to embrace deep transformation. My path is one of constant evolution, healing generational, ancestral, and past-life wounds.

A conversation with a dear friend of mine sparked this reflection. She shared her vision for a grassroots food security movement in the ‘Ewa and Kapolei communities called Ohana Food Share. This initiative gathers food and resources from within the community and redistributes them to ‘ohana (families) and kūpuna (elders) facing food insecurity. As she spoke, I could feel the passion behind her words. Her commitment to this cause reminded me that so many meaningful community initiatives are born from a simple recognition of need—when someone sees a problem and instead of looking the other way, decides to take action.

This week, I want to talk about the collective energy. I don’t know about you, but it feels like everyone is on the verge of crashing out. To me, this is "crash-out season"—a time when emotions are running high, and people are reacting from a deeply emotional place. For many, it’s a feeling of being unseen, unheard, or invalidated. But instead of seeking external validation from a partner, friends, or the world around you, take a moment to look inward. Where within yourself do you feel unseen, unheard, or invalidated?

Thirty-five was a big year for me. I took on a part-time job that led me to cross paths with some of the most incredible people I’ve met while living in Sydney. It was also a year of deepening my psychic gifts and healing modalities, helping me forge connections with like-minded psychic baddies. These experiences not only enriched my personal growth but also strengthened my offerings, giving me clarity on who I truly want to work with and how I want to provide support.

Understanding Leo Energy

Leo is a bold, fixed fire sign known for its flair, passion, and ability to leave a lasting impression. This energy is all about stepping into the spotlight, claiming your space, and embracing your authenticity without hesitation. It’s calling you to stop playing small and go after exactly what you want.

This full moon is your invitation to release anything keeping you from fully owning your truth. What truth have you been avoiding? Where have you been hiding in the shadows? What parts of you need to be seen and celebrated?

Astrological Transits in Focus

One of the most significant transits astrologers are buzzing about is Pluto’s move into Aquarius. This shift brings deep themes of death, rebirth, and transformation, especially for the fixed signs and the area of your natal chart influenced by Aquarius. While it may sound intense, remember: this is your moment to step into your power. Outdated beliefs and habits are ready to fall away, clearing space for fresh energy and perspectives to take root over the next 19 years.

The second key transit to be aware of is Mercury Retrograde, from November 25 to December 15. This isn’t a time to fear but rather an invitation to slow down, reassess, and revisit your energetic boundaries. Avoid rushing or falling into scarcity mindsets—it only creates unnecessary stress. Instead, allow this retrograde to guide you toward clarity and alignment.

This week, I wanted to dive a little deeper into the topic of energetic cords—specifically, energetic hooks. Ever heard of having “watchers” in your aura? It’s essentially when weak spots in your auric field cause energetic leakage, allowing those who might wish you ill (like an ex-friend or past partner) to attach themselves to your energy and keep tabs on you. It's wild but very real, and these types of energetic hooks and drains can leave you feeling depleted or weighed down.

So, how can we recognize cords, hooks, or drains? Think about a moment when you’ve had a disagreement or an emotional interaction with someone close, and afterward, you just can’t get them out of your mind. Maybe you even feel drained, despite having had plenty of rest. Or perhaps you feel sadness or irritability that seems to come out of nowhere. These can all be signs of an energetic cord with that person. Sometimes, cords connect us to even deeper energies, like ancestral or past-life bonds.

I’ve been pondering how to bring this vision into reality, to create a gathering space for those of us who seek that deep, soulful connection. Maybe it’s through monthly coven meetings, virtual circles, or themed rituals where we can dive into collective intention-setting, shadow work, or simply revel in each other’s presence. I haven’t landed on the “how” just yet, but sharing this here feels like the first step.
