But it's not truly in alignment with who you are.

Which by the way, it's happening Wednesday, January 29th. I forgot to mention that. Okay, back to the video.

Rachel: 4:45

And at this new moon, you could be recognizing I'm not the ideal. I'm not this idealized version that I try to force myself to be. And because of that, I feel powerless, I feel stuck, I'm angry, I'm getting triggered over relationships, I have to set boundaries. And that's what I mean by this new moon is, who are you really? And it's giving you the bravery and the courage to break free from that ideal and be authentically you. You boo. So this new moon is happening at nine degrees Aquarius. Let me read you the Sabian symbol for nine degrees Aquarius, and then we'll go into all the aspects happening that create this full new moon story. It's not a full moon, but it's a full new moon story. Firstly, we have the Sabian symbol Aquarius 10. It is a man who had for a long time become the embodiment of a popular ideal, but is now made to realize that as a person, he is not that ideal. That's what I just said. You might have this idea, ideal of who you should be, and you could be recognizing, I am not that version of myself. I'm not that version of the person I agreed to be, and I don't want to keep agreeing to be that version of myself. speaks to the tension between societal expectations, projections, or ideals in the reality of an individual's authentic self. It's about recognizing that who you are is distinct from how others see you or what they expect from you. There's an awakening here, a realization that living up to a popular or external image can be limiting or even alienating. It invites a journey of reclaiming one's individuality and authenticity. While the image or role you embody may serve a purpose, this symbol encourages you to reflect on whether it aligns with your deeper truth and essence. So here's the thing. We're still in a Mars retrograde right now. Mars and Cancer. Retrogrades are when we are reflecting. With Mars, we're reflecting on how we take action, what drives our will to live, what drives our will to take action. and we're reflecting on that when it comes to Cancer and its themes. So Cancer, is the energy of how we go about nurturing ourselves, meeting our needs, finding emotional stability and security. And, in the past, one way you might have gone about finding that emotional stability and security could have been through forcing yourself to act as this ideal version of you. Because you thought, if I am this ideal, I will ha I will attract the ideal life to me. But it doesn't seem to be working out for you. And so then we have to ask ourselves, well, this way I've always gone about creating emotional fulfillment, creating security, it's not getting me what I want. So maybe I'm not that ideal. Maybe that's not how I want to continue to take action from because Here's the thing Cancer can only provide you emotional security and stability when you're connected to truth. We can only feel grounded and good when we are connected to ourselves and our emotions and What we really need and sometimes when we try to live up to some sort of ideal We're constantly pushing down what we need in order to be this ideal. We're like, no, I'm not that person. No, I'm not this. I'm not that. I am this person. And even if it doesn't feel good at all to be that person. You know, it makes me think about in my life whenever I've people pleased. I thought that people wanted me to talk a lot, and I had to be a chatty person, and I had to hold up the conversation, and I had to make sure everyone feels comfortable. But that would just make me feel like I couldn't breathe. And recently I've healed that pattern, and the key to me healing that pattern was recognizing that I don't need to force myself to be this ideal social person, the person who holds up every conversation and makes everyone feel amazing and just appears to be this way, because that was an ungrounded version of me. It wasn't my truth. When you connect to truth a big theme around this new moon is truth will get into us in a second you become more grounded you don't force yourself to be something you're not and like that's why everyone loves to spend time alone or be at their house or um only do things with the people who allow them to be fully them who they feel safe to be fully them because in those moments you are grounded to yourself you are connected to yourself you're not having to muster up this energy to pretend you're someone else And so the moment you are in truth, as scary as it can be to be in truth, it is your path, your key to finding true emotional fulfillment, true connection to self, and feeling truly grounded in your life. You know, I've been working with one of my one on one clients the last few months, and one of the first things we worked on was connecting to herself. She said she just wants to be in her truth, to speak her truth. And She didn't feel like she could. She felt like if she spoke her truth, she'd be rejected. She'd be abandoned. I don't know, bad things would happen. She wouldn't be good enough. This would happen. This would happen. We tell ourselves all these different stories, but she started creating this new self concept. My truth grounds me, it connects me to myself, and it makes my life work out better or something along those lines. She made her truth a good thing. And so over the last few months, she just anchored into that self concept, and any time she had an opportunity to speak her truth, she would do it, because that was the self concept she was anchoring in. And every time she did it, she said it was scary as hell, and then immediately, she felt free, she felt grounded, and we've been working together for three months now, and she said she feels so connected to herself. And here's the thing, I had a very similar journey. And before I did that journey, I wouldn't have even known to call the feeling that you feel after speaking your truth as connected to yourself. But you're connected to yourself when you're in truth. But when you try to be someone else, or make people see you a certain way, It ungrounds you naturally because it disconnects you from you. The more you speak from truth, the more connected you get to yourself, the more grounded you get. Even if you feel like people are going to hate you, even if you're fearing being rejected. So let's get into how those aspects are playing out at the new moon. We have Pluto conjunct Mercury. Rig. Rig, this is big power. Big truth. Big digging deep into the depths of your psyche to uncover, like, real truth. Pluto is the planet of death, of rebirth, of uncovering our traumas and our triggers and alchemizing them into your power. It is, it's where you heal your triggers into power, where you heal your trauma. Pluto is also, though, where we will not be in our truth because of triggers and traumas. We'll manipulate situations to make ourselves appear a certain way. We'll lie to people because we don't want to hurt their feelings and we want to, like, stay on good graces. It is. But here's the thing, is that that is what keeps your Pluto wounded. Every time you manipulate, every time you bend the truth in order to make someone else feel better, even though it's not your truth, you might think it's a nice thing to do, to give a nice white lie. It is not your responsibility to take other people's power away, to take other people's power. choice to step into their power because you're allowing them to feel truth. When you hide truth from others, you take their power away. When you hide truth from yourself, you take your own power away. And contrary to popular belief, I think a lot of people think power is money and status and controlling and who you can control. No, true power is not giving any Fs. It's like the mountain who can stand tall amongst every single storm. True power comes when you face death and you rise. And that is why every time you speak in your truth, you become more grounded and connected to yourself. You faced a fear, you lived, and you realized it was okay to be in your truth. And in fact, you are here to be in your truth. So that's Pluto. But Pluto is hanging out with Mercury. Mercury is the planet. It's our siblings. So it could have sibling stuff come up. It's cars and transportation and short distance trips that could be part of this Pluto power struggle. Weird energy coming up for you, but mainly mercury is how we think and communicate and make different connections and network and, uh, relay information. And when Mercury, the planet of how we think and communicate, is joining forces with Pluto and it's in Aquarius, so Aquarius is the energy that's impacting these death and rebirth and thinking planets, Aquarius is radically authentic. It is rebellious. It thinks outside of the box. It's not afraid to go against the status quo. it is so not afraid to be misunderstood. Where do you manipulate your truth because you don't want to be misunderstood? You don't want to hurt someone out of being misunderstood? You don't want to hurt yourself out of being misunderstood. Aquarius is also groups, though. Where do you not speak your truth because you're afraid of being kicked out of the group? But here's the thing. If you're afraid that your truth will kick you out of the group, that group's not for you. And the more you stay out of your truth and you stay in this group that's not 100 percent in alignment with you because you're afraid you won't find any group that's in alignment with you, you are taking your power away. And that's what I'm saying is like, Over these next 20 years, power will come from radical authenticity. Being willing to be misunderstood, and being able to take your power back around that. Being willing to be kicked out of a group, and taking your power back around it. Being willing to say something that someone's gonna reject you for, and misunderstand, um, and being okay with it. Being willing to go against the status quo, and do things that no one else is doing, and making your own path, and breaking all the rules. That is a big source of power at this new moon. And one of the things is when Pluto comes with Mercury, you can be seriously triggered. It can be like that oh shit trigger, because it's activating trauma deep buried in your mind. Or it's activating your power in ways to overcome trauma deep in your mind. It can go both ways. you could go deep into the depths and feel absolutely horrible, only to cry and feel like everything's hopeless and then have clarity, and then rise into power and be like, No, I got this, I am this person, no one can take this away from me. That is power. You're only powerless when some when you believe someone outside of you can take something away from you. No one can take anything away from you. You are one in a million, one in trillions. Aquarius is the fact that you are so needed because there's no one else like you and that is your power right now. And so again, you being in your truth and owning your radical authenticity at this new moon, who are you really? And who, what was this ideal version of you that you're not really? You don't have to be that. You can be willing to say the wrong thing. Be willing to be so intensely yourself that you give other people permission to be so intensely theirselves.

Streamer X Main-1: 16:52

Editing Rachel here. Little do you know, I actually have that as my sticky note on my computer all the time. It says, I am here to be intensely myself and allow others to be intensely themselves. I have a very Scorpionic energy in here and But this has ground me to myself and allowed me to talk even if I think I'm being intense and accept it and own it as power.

Rachel: 18:24

And another thing that corroborates with all of this energy is we also have Lilith in Libra. In conjunct, Uranus and Taurus and then Lilith is squaring Pallas and Capricorn. Let's talk about that aspect. This is adding to the being afraid of being rejected in relationship, or being afraid of disrupting the harmony because you're owning your deep truth. That's what Lilith is. Lilith in Libra, it wants to keep the peace and create harmony, even though it intuitively is. It is angry and is repressing certain shame around what is truly true for it, and it wants to say what's true, but it wants to keep the peace, and so, like, it will keep stuffing down the truth in order to keep the peace, only to cause more disharmony and not peace inside itself. And then it freaks out and goes crazy and like, is like, I need just fairness! I can't handle this anymore! Like, that's what can happen with Lilith. So, you could be afraid that if you speak your truth, you will be rejected. And you could have, you could be repressing it. A lot of shame. This Inconjuncta Uranus and Taurus is, Uranus and Taurus is trying to break you out of the status quo. Break you out of your comfort zone. That's what Uranus does. It breaks free. It's a breakthrough. It's electricity. It rules the nervous system. In Taurus, Taurus wants to stay comfortable, and it wants things to just be good in relationships. It doesn't want to feel discomfort, but with Uranus in Taurus, it's breaking free of your values. It's like, okay, you've been doing it this way for a really long time. You've been making yourself, forcing yourself to be this ideal version of yourself, and it's not working out. It's time to break free! Break out of it. Be willing to be rejected. Stop stuffing down the shame of what other people will think. Be willing to disrupt the peace. Actually, I would say the highest outcome of this aspect is recognizing that, yes, you might disrupt the peace temporarily by having this conversation in a relationship or disrupting the peace in a certain situation in order to speak your truth, but ultimately it's going to bring you more grounding and presence. Uranus and Taurus because that's what Uranus and Taurus really wants you to do. It wants you to be more in your body, more connected to your values, more living by your values, playing the long game, um, more connected to nature and what your body is telling you, what you're feeling, what you're sensing. And if you got alarm bells going off and you're stuffing down your truth in order to stay comfortable, you're not gonna feel comfortable until you speak it. So that's that in conjunct and an in conjunct is kind of a hard aspect because it's like it's It's like you're really intensely going back and forth between oh, I gotta break free and not keep the peace but I want to repress the shame so I don't like disrupt the peace and it's like So speak your truth But then also, Lilith is in a square that is a challenging aspect to Pallas and Capricorn. So Pallas is the goddess of strategic wisdom and warfare, and in Capricorn, she is gaining intuitive strategic wisdom for how you want to go about reaching your goals. And you might be recognizing that you keeping the peace and stuffing down your truth right now is not helping you reach your goals. And there could be a challenge for you to lay down the law and set certain boundaries with yourself in relationships that feel rather challenging to you. You know, it's really having you go into what true love is, and true love is not self sacrificing. A lot of the time, love is tough love. It's honest. It's being truthful. It is. It's getting into alignment with the life you want to create and being willing to shift who you are in order to create that life. It's being willing to let go of relationships in order to create the life that you want. And one thing about Capricorn, it's just not afraid to be an authority and to own its authority. And so something that could be coming up for you at this new moon is there could be a new level of authority that you're knowing you're needing to step into, and that requires you not being loved by everyone. But, It requires you loving yourself so that you can build this future, build this vision, build this dream. Now that Mars retrograde I told you about that we're in right now, um, how we're reflecting on what motivates us to find emotional stability, like for example, let's say, You think that being overly responsible and, overworking yourself and going to this class and going to that class and just like doing everything that's responsible, even though it doesn't feel very good to you, maybe you learned being responsible is what's going to give you safety and emotional stability. So you just continue to do these things, you continue to be being responsible for everyone, but it never pans out. You're not feeling emotionally secure and stable. If anything, you're at your wit's end and you are drained. You could be reflecting on, at this new moon, how that ideal version of you who's overly responsible and does all of these things is not who you really are. And if you were to be real with yourself, you just want to do paints and be happy and do what's really fun for you, and like, you do want to do things for people you love, but you really want to honor your emotions, and there's all these things you've always wanted to do, but it didn't feel responsible. This new moon could be you. Being like, well, F it. I don't care if I'm rejected by society. I don't care if this disrupts the harmony in my life. I'm gonna do the thing that my Emotions myself has been craving to do because I feel like I just need this lightness this freedom I want to remind you for this new moon like attracts like if you've been stuck in a cycle of over responsibility Because you think it's going to give you emotional security. You're just going to continue to manifest more emotional responsibility Whereas, the moment you start to practice, and repetition is key, because you've repeated yourself to get yourself here, you have to repeat yourself into a new version of yourself, the moment you start practicing being the version of yourself where the more I lean into joy, my life just becomes more and more joyful. The more I lean into the things that make me feel happy and make my, and transmute my emotions, because maybe I'm doing fun art projects, like, If something produces a certain feeling, you will continue to manifest more of that feeling. So work on that at this new moon. what's your truth. What's going to make you feel grounded. What's going to make you feel truly emotionally stable. That is your path forward. You get to trust yourself. Like attracts like the more grounded and emotionally stable you make yourself feel from the inside first It's not about what's outside of you. This is how manifestation works. It's not about controlling things outside of you So I can feel that feeling it's i'm gonna make myself feel emotionally secure and safe Right now. And I'm going to give myself what I need to feel that way. I'm going to tell myself what I need to hear to think that way. And then eventually your mind will start to open up and see new pathways. And you will create that life of emotional stability. Like attracts like. With Mars and Cancer, Retrograde. It is sextiling Uranus and Taurus at this new moon. And Uranus and Taurus is giving you a breakthrough in your values, in your self worth, and how you go about making money, in um, how present you are in your life. That's where we're heading in this new Earth. You do get to move like nature. You do get to feel good. You don't have to be living from scarcity. It's just creating more scarcity. Self concept work. I talk about it all the time. Become the new version of you. It can happen in a week of you doing self concept work. Like, ask any one on one client I've worked with. I'm gonna have a one on one client on this podcast in the next month or so. She's getting some of her self concept work. business websites up first, but you will hear from her how fast and how deep things can change, especially when you've tried everything, when you do self concept work. Which, by the way, I still have, um, a couple spots open for one on one. I'm moving deeper into one on one than readings because I love deep reading. talks. I love deep shit. So if you want to book a clarity call with me to see if you'd be a good fit for one on one, you can book in the link in the show notes below. So there's a big breakthrough of your values around how you meet your emotional needs through you owning your truth and through you being not afraid to get rejected by being you. And then also at this new moon, we have Neptune, conjunct Venus, conjunct the North Node. So the North Node is a karmic destiny point, right? We're karmically moving towards it. It's in Pisces. We're moving towards more spirituality. We're closing out subconscious self sabotaging patterns, which are patterns like I just talked about, being overly responsible and thinking that's going to give you the life you want, even though it feels heavy. That's not going to get it for you. That's a self sabotaging behavior. So Neptune is with the North Node. It's helping you dissolve and, and kind of dissolve some of those subconscious things that you do and start to put boundaries around them because we also have Saturn. And with Venus, it's almost like dissolving the boundaries between you and other people. So you can start to unravel. Where you're confused where you're trying to merge too much with the projections of other people, you know, Pisces is a mirror. It lives in a projection field and with Neptune with Pisces. It loves love. It loves ideals. Pisces is the sign of ideals. And with Saturn there, we're learning to put boundaries around our ideals and recognize that sometimes the ideal version of us is disconnected from you. It's disconnected from the reality, the truth of who you are, and you have to put boundaries around it. You know, Neptune with Venus, if anyone has that natally, those people love love. And they'll have a lot of secret love affairs, and they just love love. Because Pisces is also secrets, the things you can't see, the things behind closed doors. Neptune is the planet of unconditional love, Venus is the planet of love. Neptune idealizes things, so it idealizes love when it's with Venus. Um, and Saturn is helping you put boundaries around that idealized love. So you can put, bring love to yourself first. Really that is a big part of this new moon. How can you love yourself so much that you create your life from there? Because when you create your life from compassion for yourself and compassion for others, you allow yourself to be in your truth. You allow others to be in their truth. You don't make yourself change who you truly are for others, and you don't make others change who they are for you. That is your power. Um, but also with Saturn here, with Neptune and Venus, you could be putting boundaries around where you project your fears of what people think about you onto others. Because again, Pisces is a projection field. And often we don't allow ourselves to be ourselves because when we were younger, someone told us we couldn't be ourselves. So we believe that other people don't want us to be ourselves. We project that onto them constantly. We go around and, um, we're like, see, that's why I can't be myself because no one will let me be it. No, it's you. It's you. It's your wound to heal. You just have to start telling yourself, the more I myself, the more success I have. The more I myself, the more I work out. You just gotta keep repeating your new story. The opposite of the one you're currently saying. And vice versa. I had someone in my, um, membership today, during our live Q& A call, say to me, Hey, I'm a boss. Was basically crapping on the work I did and I really miss my old boss because he was always around and saw the work I did and we had a great connection and this new guy's never around and now he's reaming me out And he doesn't even know me And that's where we're putting boundaries and taking our power back, too. You know, I said to my, to my member, I was like, This guy doesn't even know you. He doesn't even see you. He's projecting onto you. He's just a mirror for your own fears. And you'll only take other people's fears in, other people's projections in, if there's a part of you that believes it, too. And so that is also teaching you lessons about yourself. If someone is crapping on you, when you truly, in your truth, did this in your, to the best of your ability. Like, you really feel like you did it to the best of your ability. Then don't allow someone to crap on you. ask yourself, why am I taking that in? Where did I learn to take that in? What other people are projecting onto me. And is that true? It's never true. Every single person on here, in the planet, is love. Every single person is powerful. The only time we take our power away is when we don't connect to truth. So one last aspect I'll talk about at this new moon is we have Chiron. in a square to the Mars retrograde. So as much as you're wanting to take action to meet your emotional needs in a new way, you're having to fight against a wound around yourself. And that could require you to swallow your ego. Sometimes we react emotionally because we need to prove to someone we are a certain way. We need to force them to see us that way so that we can feel emotionally stable and show them the truth. No, your power is not needing to show anyone the truth. It is affirming who you are for yourself and yourself only. Because the more you can do that, the more no one can F with you anymore. Someone can come to you and tell you you're a piece of poop and you can know who you are and keep walking as if you're the most empowered person ever, and you'll continue to create an empowered life. Whereas if you took that poop comment in, You probably wouldn't continue to walk and live your most empowered life. It would, it would cause a roadblock, a setback. So that's what I mean. Okay. That's what I want to say for the new moon in Aquarius. Who are you really? So, I hope you loved this. If you loved this episode, make sure to share it with a friend.
