Soft, Earthen Futures

This New Moon in Scorpio is a portal of reclamation. With Mercury retrograde, Lilith retrograde, and powerful trine support from Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Ceres, this lunation asks the most uncomfortable question: What are you compromising on?

Where have you been going on side quests instead of following your soul's path? What vision is on your heart that you keep making smaller, safer, more acceptable? This episode explores Gate 14—the gate of bounteousness and competence—and the shadow of compromise that keeps us enslaved to systems, narratives, and callings that aren't actually ours.

If you've been chasing what feels like a calling only to realize it was a distraction, this New Moon is calling you back to your soul's true path.
