Although I woke up tired today because I stayed up way past my bedtime, I feel the shift from the Aries moon to the Taurus moon. I feel a mix of things, embodied emotions and powerful thoughts. Wanting to reach out to someone I dated in 2025, genuinely missing them, but knowing it’s for the best to leave them alone. Re-vitalizing my Hinge profile, instead. Wanting to visualize the next six months and beyond, as I prepare to return to Portland. Feeling nerves about my new job starting. Crushing on a friend. Having a dream about someone I’m currently letting go of. When I think about the amount of people I have either had or have significant, dynamic connection with, it makes me feel like a deeply layered and well-connected human.
I think astrologically there is a neat influence of planets right now. Aquarius and Taurus I think of as being two strong-willed forces that march to the beat of their own drum. I feel the influence taking me in different directions. I feel a simmering, quiet motivation within myself today. Channeling inspiration sometimes requires a bit of luck. Where do I put this energy? How to expend it? Some days I feel a bit of pressure, albeit good pressure, to expend the dynamic energy I feel within into worthy outlets.
Possible Paths & Remedy list for the Sunday Scaries:
A. Go outside. Barefoot. Feel the ground beneath me as it tethers me to something bigger, something more concrete. Water the Dill seeds I planted yesterday, smell the basil and feel the soil on my fingertips. Appreciate the sun, the California January sun. Embrace all that the outdoors has to offer my senses and my spirit.
B. Channel my energy into self-expression. Write, blog, curate my profiles. Text long paragraphs to my friends about my feelings, my inner world. Snap shots of my current state, proof that it exists. Things to look back on. Things to re-read.
C. Visualize the future. Make little plans. Explore ideas. Research. Follow inspiration towards things that will be helpful for me to know, and practical/useful 6 months from now. Journal findings. Vision board.
D. Somatic practices. Regulating my nervous system through heat, through water, through movement. Yoga would be a dream. Breathing, meditation. Gently waking myself up, gently easing into my body. Reducing any looming anxiety.
Anything but default-opening Instagram.
Thanks for tuning in. What are you getting up to this Sunday?
