S6E9 - Summer Solstice = New Beginnings

It’s been a minute. Today I discuss the energy of the Summer Solstice and the ability to start over. The reminder to learn the ways and potential generational curses that attempt to sabotage us, especially finding the correlations. Is your romantic attachment style, similar to your attachment style with money? Are you settling in love, the way you settle in your work environment? I talk about the health issues impacting my life. Additionally, I’m Bi, Bitch. Not that it matters, but it’s Pride Month, so let's talk about it. Are you a fixed sign? (Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius.) How did the Taurus Mercury Retrograde impact you? Any Gemini placements or Sagittarius impacted by the last Moon cycle? Cause from start to finish that last moon cycle got me (Sagittarius Full Moon to Gemini New Moon, phew!) Also released today was the Missing Witches Summer Solstice Brujas Episode, featuring Lorraine Monteagut and our discussion on what it means to be brujas and bruja feminism. As Brujas or Latine American witches it is challenging, because our magick, our brujeria, like ourselves, is a product of colonization. Learning new coping mechanisms for processing with difficult times. Closing out with a tarot reading with The Dreamers Tarot Deck & Sacred Symbols Oracle Deck.
