That's all the housekeeping. Let's get into the episode This is the last month in 2024. Let's talk about how you can make the most out of it, both working with the astrology and then how you can practically apply the astrology to your life. So, there's a lot of different aspects we're going to talk about today. We are entering into new territory for humanity. 2025 is a really big year. It's a year of a lot of newness. It's a year of a lot of coming into a new way of life. And this December 2024 is the beginning of it. It is part of that transition. Some of the aspects we're going to be going over today is, well, we're currently in Mercury retrograde. So that's going to be part of this little spiel. We got Mars retrograde happening on December 6th. We have Mercury retrograde ending on December 15th. We have Saturn square Jupiter round two on December 24th, the day before Christmas. Yay, and when I say round two, we had around one of Saturn and Pisces square Jupiter in August, and basically every single person I have talked to had a challenging So, um, yeah. August or they learned a lot of lessons in August or they felt blocked in August. They really wanted to grow and expand, but these challenges kept coming in the way. And August was a big month for a lot of people. I know some people who had their old lives basically crumble and they moved into a new situation. And now they had to figure out how to live life in this new situation. So we're going to talk about. this aspect because it's round two and then we're going to talk about coming into january too because on january 3rd Mars retrograde is going to oppose pluto and aquarius. This is one of many activations that are going to be happening over the next year We had that first activation of mars and pluto on halloween with cancer and capricorn So this is a new activation of pluto. We'll talk about that And then on January 11th, the North node is going to move out of Aries into Pisces. So all of this astrology happening this December is preparing for it. If you integrate a lot of the stuff we talk about in this video, you're going to be prepared. You're going to get the most out of the North node moving into Pisces. The North node is where we have gain in our life. With the North node having been in Aries, we've been gaining in our sense of self. We've been trusting ourselves more. We've been being a little bit more selfish. We've been saying what we want. We've been releasing what other people want. We've been releasing Libra themes. We've been releasing, living life, how society told us to live, living life, how our parents told us to live, living life, just to keep the peace. We've been really pushed into, no, it's not time to keep the peace anymore. It's time to own you boo, which is why I've been so big on talking about self concept work. Self concept work is literally the most powerful work I have found to transform your life. It is way better than manifestation. It manifests. Your life in alignment with how your self-concept is instead of you forcing life. And Aries is really the sign of your identity and your self-concept. It is the start of the iCal wheel, and it is important because your self-concept in your identity. lays the foundation for how everything else in your life plays out. How you think about yourself matters. And this last month in December is this final opportunity, this final chance to really anchor into how do you want to think about yourself? And how are you currently thinking about yourself? Are you currently thinking about yourself in a way that makes you feel anxious, that makes you feel stuck? Like, are you telling yourself, I'm a person who's stuck. I'm a person who's anxious. These are all self concepts. The things we tell ourselves, oh, I always fail, oh, that never works out, or I'm always stuck, or they always get things better than me. That is all of your self concept. And things like that could be coming up this month. It could be, they always irritate me. They always do that. They always do that to me. I don't know why our relationship has to be that way. even when it involves someone else, it's still about you. Because you're believing you're the type of person who attracts that. Who has that in their life? And if we attract something into our lives, it's because it's within us too. So never think because someone outside of you seems to be the problem that you're not the problem. The North Node in Aries is really teaching us. Everything starts from with inside of us. And if you make the most out of this next month, you could really take your power back and make giant moves and create so much magic over the next two years with the North Node in Pisces. I'm really excited to talk about the North Node being in Pisces. I feel like we're moving into spiritual, magical times where Things that we thought were impossible are going to start to become possible. Where we thought life was real and needed to be tangible in the here and now we're realizing there's a lot of possibility and there's a lot going on that we can't see. And so the meat of this over the next month is paying attention to in the simplest form, what do I have energy for and what do I not have energy for? Let's kick it off with Mars retrograde. And if you can't tell I'm really cozy. I can't record videos unless I'm cozy. This is important. I'm a Taurus. So Mars retrograde. is starting in Leo. This is a big deal. This is important. So first, let's start with Mars. Mars is the planet of our willpower. action. Mars represents passion. It represents willpower energy. It represents anger and fight. So Mars can passionately bring things together, or it can passionately separate things and set them apart. So as much as Mars is about going after things and making it happen and using our willpower, it can also be destruction, injuries, accidents. So You know, with the Mars retrograde, be careful. Retrograde is bringing things back from the past. During a Mars retrograde, we want to slow down. If there's ever a time to blame your laziness and procrastination on a planet, it is Mars retrograde. With Mercury retrograde, we can blame our thinking, our communication, our technology on Mercury. So now blame your slowness on Mars. With Mars and Leo, we are reflecting and we are reviewing What drives us to take action based on Leo energy. So Leo energy is king, queen energy. Leo wants to be seen. Maybe one of the things you're going to be reflecting over the next month is what drives you to take action is you want to be seen. Leo wants to be validated. It's ruled by the ego, right? So I think a lot of us are going to be reviewing and reflecting on what actions are you taking in your life that are in alignment with your ego, but not in alignment with your passion, with your soul, with what feels abundant and fun and full of life for you. That is what we are learning to connect to right now when I say, what do you have energy for? We've been so trained to Just like F our feelings in that life has to be hard. we've been told this story over and over again. You can't do what you love for fun. It will be boring. You can't just like have fun all the time. Life is hard. Life has hardships to it. You have to do the hard route. If you want to be successful, you got to do hard things. That is so ingrained into us. That a lot of us are going to be wanting to take action to protect ourselves, to protect our ego so that we can be seen in a certain way, so that we can gain validation. Like maybe you're a YouTuber and you used to post videos every single day and it was solely because you wanted to grow your channel and you wanted that validation. Maybe it wasn't really in alignment with your energy, you just did it anyways. And now you're realizing you can't frickin do it anymore, you don't have the energy for it, it just won't happen, and you're feeling blocked left and right. That's because that was an ego desire, the ego was fueling you to post those videos every day. So, we're reflecting on what motivates us, what motivates us to use our willpower. And is it driven by ego? Is it driven by a desire to be seen a certain way? is it driven by Is it a desire to be validated? Is it driven by, well, they didn't do that for me, so I'm not gonna do it for them. This is another thing about Leo. So, Leo is a very generous sign. Are you generous? And then, ultimately, you expect people to be generous back with you. Now, we all want balance, give and take, but the highest expression of Leo is to be generous because it feels good. Because they want to be generous. Because they want to share the abundance. The lower vibration of Leo is being generous, because you do love to be generous, but then there's a part of you, that ego part of you, that when maybe someone's a dickhead to your generosity. A lower vibe Leo Mars reaction would be, they're a piece of crap, like, I'm never doing anything nice for them again, how could they not do nice things for me, I just did all of this for them, why aren't they appreciating me? So are you doing things for validation? Subconsciously? Secretly? Remember, we still have Saturn and Pisces showing us where we have some self sabotaging behavior, because Pisces is the sign of self sabotaging behavior. Saturn is showing us our blocks. It's blocking us. It's showing us what we can't see. And this is a really interesting thing because we think Or at least our ego thinks that it does give us energy to be validated, that it does give us energy to be seen because we are disconnected from ourselves and what truly lights us up. If you were truly lit up with passion and joy and confidence, you wouldn't need the validation. You wouldn't need people to, be appreciative of your generosity or reflect the generosity back. You would give it. And then forget about it and continue to live your life because you are just giving abundantly and joyously That is the highest expression of leo when you connect to your leo passion Leo is ruled by the sun. The sun is the most abundant planet When leo is connected to joy and passion and its hobbies and creativity and life force energy It is just a force to be reckoned with it makes me think about on thanksgiving. I'm a taurus. I freaking love cooking It's not a stressful thing for me. It is so fun for me. I cooked on Thanksgiving from 5 in the morning to 11 at night. Not because I had to, I just couldn't stop. Couldn't stop. And my boyfriend, we've been together seven years, but the last couple, three, this is our third year living together. No, second year living together? I don't know. We've been together seven years, but just the last couple years we've lived together and so I cooked all day for Thanksgiving and he said to me at the end of the day, Gosh, you're the only person I've ever met who cooks like that all day and is so calm and doesn't get stressed out and isn't angry and actually feels happier and wants to keep cooking. He's like, I'm not used to seeing that. And what I said to him is I love to do this. Like, literally, this is my ideal day. You can't be stressed when you're doing your passion, when you're doing your hobby. It is not stressful. You would do it anyways. That is what we're being pushed to collectively. You doing what you would do anyways. You getting supported by the universe by you doing what's fun and passionate that you truly have energy for. Not this fake energy BS of, oh, well, I like being validated on YouTube or Instagram or wherever or. I'm so generous to my family. Look how great we look. everyone's going to see me as this amazing person because of how generous I was. That is fake energy. If you truly just gained energy from giving, and it was truly your joy, and you were happy, and you were doing what was fun for you, you wouldn't care about getting the validation. And so that is a big part of this Mars Retrograde, is it's going to have us reflect on What is driving you to take action in your life and you're going to lose energy for anything that's not in alignment with your highest truth. And I guess we'll just skip ahead a date to talk about this because when we have the Mars and Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius aspect on January 3rd, this is a steel made energy. This is two planets. Opposing each other, and like, wanting to get their way, and battling it out. Pluto in Aquarius, Pluto, opposite Mars, Mars Leo retrograde. Pluto, always is about the truest truth, the deepest truth. The truth that you might not even admit to yourself. And when it's in Aquarius, Aquarius is our hopes and dreams, it is our individuality and what makes us unique and what makes us different, it is where we rebel and go against the status quo, Aquarius is where we think of futuristic, out of the box ideas, it's where, also on the shadow side because we got Pluto there, it's where we might feel misunderstood, and again, when it's, in Pluto, we're feeling these power struggles. The truth is. We are all so uniquely individual. We're all freaking weirdos. Whether you want to admit it or not, at the base of it, you're a weirdo, I'm a weirdo, they're a weirdo. I don't know who I'm pointing out. Everyone, every ghost in this room is a weirdo. And Aquarius is very detached. Whereas Mars and Leo wants the validation. We have these two opposing planets, Mars and Leo, you're gonna be really feeling bogged down to take action. Because if you are hiding what makes you different, if you are hiding what what makes you unique because you think that your specific plan of going about reaching your hopes and dreams is too different, it's too weird, and so you just keep manipulating to reach your hopes and dreams and thinking that, no, no, no, no, I can still use my creativity this way and I can manipulate just to get the validation, you're gonna be met with a steel mate at that aspect, it's not gonna work. Conversely, a truth could be revealed. When this happens, you could actually face that fear around owning your individuality and going against the grain and really lean into what you have energy for, what you are passionate for and dive into the unknown and trust that that is going to create the abundance in your life. So we're going to have that aspect on January 3rd, the beginning of the year. It's this giant tension that's building all of December until we get to the beginning of the year. And then it's like, really, what do you have energy for? Be truthful with yourself, own your individuality. stop trying to fit in with everyone else. That's also a shadow side of Aquarius is Aquarius can be very detached from the ego. And it's like, I don't need my needs met. I can just be here for everyone else. No stop. disregarding what you need, your energy, what's passionate for you. We need that here. We need it. And we're all going to be feeling this opposition. The people who are going to really be feeling this opposition or the people who it's going to be hitting their chart by degree. So if you have any fixed signs, Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius, Leo, I'd say one to three degrees. You'll likely be really feeling this aspect, but That's going to be a big defining moment, a moment that really helps you connect with your truth, own your individuality and lean into your creativity. It makes me think of this story. So. I hosted retreats for two years and I really made a name for myself and I became known as someone who hosts retreats who's good at hosting them And a lot of people told me that I should teach people how to host retreats I gotta build upon this. I gotta keep hosting retreats, but by my last retreat I had no passion for it anymore. No energy for it anymore. I was doing it for everyone else. I was putting my energy to the side so I could be there for the collective and just Go after the collective's hopes and dreams like what everyone else was telling me. They had their hopes and dreams for me Basically. And when I got really real with myself, I couldn't bear to host another retreat. It wasn't in alignment with my energy and it wasn't in alignment with my truth. And I know if I went to host another retreat, it would have just been a big stress on my mind. It would have been really hard because it started to get hard to host retreats because I stopped having energy for it. Things are hard when you don't have energy for it. So everyone told me I needed to keep hosting retreats because I had hosted so many and I had to keep going. But I said I couldn't. And I stopped. And I actually stopped my business altogether because I didn't know what I had energy for. You doing that during December and even the next couple of months, even January, I would say, and into February is a good thing. Slow down and start to listen to yourself and trust that the universe will support you because the universe wants you to be in alignment with your passion. It wants you to, it's not going to blow up in your face. And if something ever does blow up in your face is just a lesson for you to gain more confidence, more passion, more joy. Everything's always a lesson to gain more confidence, more passion, more joy, cause it adds to trust in yourself every time you leap into the unknown. And then every time you leap into the unknown, something magical will happen in your life. Something new, something different, something that will get you unstuck because it is different than what you are currently doing. And so I took four months off from my business and told myself I was just going to follow the fun and I did. I studied astrology from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to bed. I had already been studying astrology for years, but astrology was the most fun thing in the world for me. And that's how I became an astrologer. In four months, I could not Stop thinking about astrology. Every time I opened my mouth, I, everything was astrology. Cause literally became my whole world. And I started helping people around me without even trying. And then I just naturally became an astrologer and my business opened up again and everything started flowing and going amazing and I made six grand that first month and it just kept going. And that, that's what this energy feels like. It feels like rebelling against what everyone else tells you to do. Rebelling against what you think you should do. Opening yourself up to a new experience to outside of the box things by following the energy, even if it's so subtle and light., Even if you don't know what you're passionate about at all, and your first step is just going to a park or something. you, following the littlest bit of what's gonna give you energy is so important for this. I also think doing your self concept work is always important., If you have not downloaded my free Activate Your Joy Challenge, you've got to download that. It is going to help you anchor in joy. It is perfect for this Mars Leo retrograde that we're going to be in all of December. It's free. In the first two videos, I talk about self concept work, which is so important for you to anchor in with the North Node being in Aries because when we move into the North Node in Pisces, you're going to be set up for even more magic. Okay, so let's go back to talking about this. But that's that aspect in the beginning of January. Start tuning into what you have energy for now because you're gonna feel pulled and, it's gonna feel a little bit more intense beginning of January because the Cosmos really want you to align with passion and fun and creativity and your confidence and all those things. And you have more confidence when you do what's fun for you. Okay. The next aspect I want to talk about in December is on December 15th, Mercury is going to station direct. And on that day, we're going to have a full moon in Gemini and in this full moon in Gemini is pretty much going to be with Jupiter. The moon will be with Jupiter. This is going to give us big expansive feelings. And it's really interesting that this full moon is happening when Mercury turns direct because when Mercury's been in Sagittarius all of December, Sagittarius is our belief systems. It is how we go about creating opportunities for ourselves through the faith that we have. It's how we make meaning out of life through having new experiences. It is that seeker. We're seeking because we want to seek the truth of life. We want to seek meaning out of life. We are meaning making machines. The thing is the shadow side of how we make meaning is based on how we view ourself concept, we can either make horrible meaning out of things and mean that we're a piece of poop and everything's going to shit. Or we can make. the best meaning out of things. We could make everything that happens in our life mean that this is a lesson teaching me about unconditional love. And as long as I learned this lesson and find how I can love myself more and whatever this lesson is teaching me more than I can have more peace in my life. Then I can open up new opportunities. When you respond to life with negativity and why everything's wrong and not good, you keep your focus narrow, you narrow opportunities. And remember. Sagittarius is about what creates opportunities through how we make meaning. Mercury retrograde is having us reflect on how we make meaning out of things, how we think about things. How we assign meaning to things, but also it's likely bringing, old ways of thinking back into your life to give you aha moments and how you can make meaning out of the world or someone from the past could have been coming back into your life in order to open up a new opportunity for you or help you see something in a new light. Mercury is how we think and communicate. we're reviewing how we think and communicate and how that then creates opportunities for us. You could have had. an old thing you like to learn come back into your life. That's now opening up a new opportunity, whatever it is, this mercury retrograde. We've been reflecting on how our thinking creates opportunities in our lives, how the things that we learn opens up opportunities in our lives or closes down opportunities. And so at this full moon, when mercury turns direct, we have this opportunity to come into a much more expanded mindset. A mindset that helps us open ourselves up to new opportunities. Open ourselves up to what we have energy for. It gives you energy. to look at a situation and let's say it's a horrible situation. You can have compassion for yourself, but if you make horrible meaning out of the situation, that drains your energy. If you keep saying, this is why things aren't going to work out, this is why this blah, blah, blah, that is an energy drainer. Whereas when you self affirm, Leo, the highest vibration of Leo is self validation, self affirmation. When you self affirm and even when you practice self concept stuff and you start telling yourself who you are and you ignore your outer reality and you literally just focus on how good you can make yourself feel, you have more energy. You have all of the capability within you to give yourself energy, but you also have the capability to squash your energy. And that's why it's going to be even harder to get your energy going with Mars retrograde. If you are hard on yourself, if you're making negative meaning out of things And then here's the thing This full moon is building to it, but we have round two of jupiter and gemini Square Saturn in Pisces. So, I already mentioned this in the intro, but we had round one in August, and that was a tough month for a lot of people. This is the second layer of that. This is the second layer to that story. it's really helping us get our Saturn in Pisces lessons in. So, Saturn is really concerned with the here and now and being practical and being a realist. Pisces is not so much. Pisces rules our self sabotaging behavior, but it also rules magic and spirituality and our energy. We can either self sabotage through our energy, Or, we can move mountains with our energy. You could be a magnetic person who just makes things happen at the snap of a finger because there's something in your energy that attracts people to you. On Thanksgiving, or the day before Thanksgiving, when I was grocery shopping, I've been watching a lot of near death experiences, and I have just learned the power of unconditional love. So I was practicing. Grocery shopping and every single person I saw I just saw love. I just saw them as like the purest form of them I saw them as an angel and I was feeling so good just by seeing everyone as love and then literally out of nowhere I was just casually looking for something in the produce section a guy who worked there who's about my age asked me what I was looking for and I told him I was looking for rosemary this Man went above and beyond to find me rosemary. I didn't even ask him to help me find it. He literally approached me and for 15 minutes, he was asking everyone he could. And at the end, he's like, I'm sorry. I tried everything I could. And I was like, wow, I didn't even ask you for help. And you just went above and beyond for me. And the only thing I could attribute it to was the fact that I was going around and seeing everyone as love. And maybe he felt that, I don't know. I've never had something like that happen before, but do you see what I mean? People feel energy and it can move mountains. And so, Pisces can create magic in your life. Saturn in Pisces, I've been saying, is preparing us for the North Node being in Pisces. Because when the North Node's in Pisces, we're likely going to be, becoming aware of our self sabotaging behavior. And what sabotages us is fear with Pisces. And this is where your self concept work is so important, and why you really understanding what's motivating you to take action. Are you motivated by fear to protect your ego, remember Mars and Leo? Or are you motivated by excitement, by what's possible, by love, by what you can give, by aligning your energy with what feels passionate and alive and loving for you, you know? So, Transcribed by https: otter. ai With Saturn being so concerned with the here and now, it's causing blocks for us with our magic and it's having us sabotage ourselves. It's making us feel confused. And the square to Jupiter and Gemini, we just want to grow and expand. We want new opportunities. We want to think in new ways. Gemini is our mindset, but it's also learning. We want to learn new things that expand our mindset. One of the ways that we could sabotage ourselves through learning, though, is we think that we never know enough out of fear. That we're not good enough, for example. Because we're not validating ourselves. And so then we keep learning and learning and learning and blocking ourselves, and then feeling confused because we have all this conflicting information from all these people that we learned, and then we're like, I don't even know what the answer is anymore! that could very much be the square, and that's why it's important to tap into, what do you have energy for? And maybe, excessive learning, ask yourself, why? Why do I feel the need to excessively learn? This is a good month to start asking yourself, why do I do these things? If you feel anxious from over learning, like you've been learning all day and you just feel more and more anxious, but you think it's gonna bring you safety, it's time to ask yourself, why am I doing this? And is the answer, because I don't think I know enough. Well then your self concept is, what I know is more than good for whatever I want to do. If you believe you're a person who never knows enough, you'll always be learning. If you're a person who believes what you know right now is valuable, you will bring value to the world. That will stop that pattern. You see what I mean? You see what I mean? So, we're getting round two of this block, and this block can feel frustrating for people. It can bring blocks in relationships. It can bring a lot of confusion in our thinking. It can cause a lot of miscommunication, because Pisces can confuse things, and it can have people project onto you. You know, Pisces is also about projections, where we project out of fear. Are you projecting your fear onto others, or are others projecting onto you? Mars and Leo wants us to validate ourselves and step into our confidence. If someone is projecting onto you, that's actually a lesson for you to have more love for yourself and for them. Because they're projecting out of fear out of pain themselves. It's recognizing that everything that you don't like outside of you is just a reflection inside of you that calls for more love. That is always what Pisces teaches. Pisces is unconditional love. Really, if you want to make your life way simpler, you just practice loving everything. And finding how you can learn lessons about love and forgive and all those different things. That's where all of your power is. So that square to Jupiter and Saturn is going to be really testing us for you to validate yourself, for you to anchor in your self concept, for you to follow your flow and what's fun for you, and to stop grasping for things, you know? So the last thing I want to talk about is on January 11th, the North node will move into Pisces. This means we will gain in the Pisces area of your chart. Pisces rules a certain area of your life. So that's going to be highlighted for you. I'm not going to talk about what area of life it rules for you. If you are in my cosmic co creatrix membership, which I'll put the link to join that down there, it's only 10 bucks a week. And I literally am in there giving you energy reports every single day. If you like my podcast, you'll love my membership and a whole resource library, so I'll put the link for that below, but when the North Node moves into Pisces We're going to have a lot of things ending. A lot of self sabotaging behavior end. We're going to be moving into a more unconditionally loving collective, because Pisces is about unconditional love. We are going to be learning to surrender. It is a collective surrender. We're not going to be able to do what we used to do, so start practicing this month. Start practicing going against the grain. Start practicing your heart. Start practicing your energy. You'll be well prepared for this collective surrender. Start surrendering now. I find that self concept work is the key to helping you surrender. I do self concept work with my one on one clients, by the way. One of the things about the North Node moving into Pisces on January 11th is that on January 12th, Mars and Cancer is gonna try Neptune in Pisces. around the same time as the North Node moving into Pisces. So Neptune will rule the North Node over the next year and a half. So whatever Neptune is doing is important. It's playing into this karmic story. The nodes are karmic destiny points. They're collectively moving you towards where you're supposed to go. Something that was destined for you. It's giving you destined karmic lessons. So With Mars and Cancer retrograde, because Mars will have been retrograded back to Cancer at that point, trying Neptune and Pisces, and the North Node just moved into Pisces. This is the beginning of us learning to connect to ourselves. We have been so disconnected from our feminine energy, from our hearts, from what feels truly nourishing and nurturing to us and for the world, and how we want to nurture the world, we haven't been thinking about life that way. We've been thinking about life in a very goal oriented, controlling way. And we are starting to learn to connect to ourselves. And so this aspect is having us review what is truly connected to our hearts. And where do we hold on to the past, our comfort zone, and stay disconnected from ourselves, and that actually sabotages us. We're going to become aware of that around the North Node moving into Pisces. We're going to becoming aware of how our emotions Drive us to act in our life how,, we take things personally and it sabotages us and it drives us to act in our life. We're gonna be reviewing all of these things with the purpose of connecting to you and your energy and ignoring everything outside of you learning more about. You, through trusting the little things that give you energy, even if it feels scary, that's the thing with Pisces. Pisces can feel very scared, and that is why it's the sign of surrender. Because when you trust your energy, it's the unknown. It's scary, but it's where all the magic is. All of it. So, that's it. That's what I have to say to make the most out of this next month as we go into 2025. also January will be Capricorn season. I know it's the new year, but really, Capricorn season is a season where we are planning for our future. Aries is where we start new beginnings. So don't worry. You have until March to figure this out, and we're not going to fully integrate this Mars retrograde until May. So you have time. Take this winter to slow down. Connect to what gives me fun. Take new risks. Try things that are fun for you. Try loosening your grip of control. Do the self concept work. Start connecting to yourself and building that connection. It starts with just connecting to how things feel. We've been taught to not trust how things feel. We've been taught that if we trust how things feel, it will sabotage us. That is not True. That's you trying to control yourself from learning certain lessons that are in alignment with your soul and your heart. There is a force that moves through all of us. And you can trust it. We are here to learn lessons. We're not here to avoid lessons. We're not here to control and force this life that's not 100 percent in alignment with us. That's why so many people who are billionaires and rich are not happy. Because they built their life not in alignment with their heart. We're not here to build a giant business. Again, I've been watching a million near death experiences. Thousands of people have all said what they've learned on the other side is we are just here to learn lessons about unconditional love. And it starts with unconditionally loving yourself. And I imagine over the next year and a half, we're going to really realize the power of unconditional love. So, I trust that this video helped you connect to yourself. It helped you understand that you don't have to go balls to the wall these next few months. You can slowly make a plan. You can just take your time. What you're doing right now is It's melding you into something that is going to last. It's melding you into this next version of you. The version of you that is going to truly impact humanity because you're in alignment with you. And it's a much better way to live. Trust me. Trust me. I've done a lot of this and I'm really fucking happy.

This is editing Rachel right here, because if you don't know my full story, I feel like this is important to say, I wasn't always a really happy person. I got into personal development and astrology because I was miserable most of my life. I was obese when I was younger, I didn't have any friends, I didn't talk till I was in college, I used to control everything in life, I was not this way at all before. I didn't even think self love was a real thing, I thought it was a joke, I thought it was a lie. So, when I say I'm happy now, I wasn't born that way, and if the little version of me, the version of me that had no friends up through high school, the version of me that barely talked until college, who was obese when they were younger and felt completely isolated from everyone else because it was the 90s and no one else was obese, and I can find this happiness and surrender to life, you can too. So just had to add that in there.
