Stop Manifesting, Start Becoming: A Neptune-Mercury in Aries Transmission April 17, 2025

Stop Manifesting. Start Becoming.

✨ Neptune in Aries conjunct Mercury — April 17, 2025 ✨

You don’t actually want to manifest anything.

You want to remember who the f*ck you are.

This episode is a truth-bomb and a transmission. I talk about why manifestation culture keeps you disconnected from your soul, and what happens when you stop chasing outcomes and start coming home to your truth.

We explore:

• Why trying to “make it happen” actually blocks your magic
• How Neptune in Aries conjunct Mercury is revealing who you really are
• How I said no to a visibility opportunity — and felt more powerful than ever
• What projection, confusion, and self-abandonment look like this week (and how to transmute them)
• How to know if you’re aligned or just controlling from fear
• The orgasmic power of choosing your soul’s yes over your logical should

If you’re ready to stop forcing and start living from pure, embodied alignment — this one is for you.

I have a secret for you. This is something I've been pondering for a long time, and it's true you don't wanna manifest anything. Manifesting is the biggest block to having everything that you want. And if there's one thing, one outcome that you really want, it's you want to return to your soul's truth because your soul's truth is limitless. Your soul's truth is abundant. Your soul's truth doesn't give any fucks about what other people are doing. Your soul's truth feels free and joyful and at peace and empowered by everything life throws at it. Your true self. Is magical and has a magic that is here to be spread here, to be found here, to be uncovered here, to be unlocked. And so therefore, you are not here to manifest anything. You are here to become more of your true self. It is funny. I had a client the other day and I was telling him about the energy for the week, and I'm like, yeah, it's about stepping into this new version of you. And he says that throughout this process, he doesn't feel like he's stepping into a new version of him. He feels like he's becoming the true version of him. And I thought that was a very wise thing for him to say because that is what's happening. That's exactly what's happening. People think that they're gonna be happy when they manifest something that they want, like you think you want the mansion, you think you want the job, you think you want the business. But the thing is, is that all these things you think you want are coming from. You having become something that is not truly you. We only want these things because we've been programmed in all these different ways to not be ourselves. That's why everyone's miserable and wants all these things outside of ourselves. We see someone do something. We want that. We see someone happy, we wanna live like them. But the problem is, is that that will never get you there. And that's why people will get everything they want and not be happy because it's not about what you manifest. True happiness. All of those feelings you're chasing are in. The process of becoming more of who you really are, and that is what I'm in the business of doing. That is what I sell here. That's what I'm here to do. And I get it because for so long I thought I wanted all of these different things and everything that I've ever wanted, like. Like the feeling I feel in my life right now. If I had all these other things I tried to force before, like I try to force like 13 different businesses, spent hours making a million different business plans all throughout my twenties. Felt anxious. I felt yucky. Nothing got off the ground, but it was through letting go and following the unknown and becoming more of me and following my astrology that now I have this life that feels like pure bliss and freedom. I do whatever the fuck I want every single day I'm becoming. More of who I am and I'm giving less, and less fucks around other people every single day. Me and Ryan have the strongest, most intimate, soulmate level connection, and we're eight years into our relationship, and it is because of this process of becoming. Once I stopped manifesting and started to become more myself, is when it all clicked in. And I only manifested my soulmate because I followed my soul's truth. You want soulmate level love. Follow your soul's truth. You want soul wealth. Follow your soul's truth. You want soul joy. Follow your soul's truth. And I'm bringing all this up today because we have a very important aspect. This week. We have Neptune and Aries, which Neptune rules the north node right now, which is our karmic collective destiny. Whatever Neptune is doing is a big fucking deal. Neptune is in Aries. Neptune, the planet of your soul of spirit, your soul's spirit. Neptune can delude you away from your soul through trauma and perceiving things based on lack, perceiving things based on projection, perceiving things based on. Not being connected to your soul. We, we only get fooled by Neptune when we have been dislodged from our soul. And don't worry, that's happened to everyone. You're not alone, including myself. That's, that's the process of becoming is we're getting away from all the dis disillusioned, wounded part of Neptune. The um. The part of Neptune that like causes smoke and mirrors and tricks you and keeps you away from your soul's path. When we're becoming, we're healing a lot of that stuff. We're returning to true self. We're returning to our limitless nature because the positive side of Neptune is that soul, that boundless soul. Neptune's guidance is not logical. It is felt. It's the feeling you get when someone asks you, do you want mint chocolate chip or vanilla? And everything in your body lights up at the mint chocolate chip, and when you hear the vanilla, you just feel kind of whatever. You're like, this is how you feel and response to it. But the mint chocolate chip, you're like, that is the the feeling I'm talking about the spirit of Neptune. I'm talking about. I like mint chocolate chip ice cream, so that goes for me. You don't like mint chocolate chip ice cream and that analogy did not land for you. Insert your favorite ice cream or whatever makes turns you on. I'm a Taurus, so of course I'm talking about food. And so with Neptune, the more we follow how things feel, the things that feel expansive versus the things that feel contracting, the more we align with soul's truth. The thing is, is most of us have been taught to live and lean into fear, to control things, to control our life as a fear, and acting from fear and acting from scarcity and acting from all of these yucky emotions. Are gonna manifest the thing that you want. In fact, taking action from all, from fear and all of these lower emotions, those emotions are, are not soul emotions. Your soul and its natural state. The sun in astrology soul, but also the moon. I also get the moon as the soul. Is naturally joyous, naturally abundant, naturally at peace. And so anytime you don't feel that feeling, you're moving away from your soul. And it's because you've been trained to move away from it. So anytime you're working towards something and it feels like a grind and it feels like anxiety and it feels, um, not good, all those feelings are Neptune resistance, Neptune blocks. Versus when you learn to work with energy and only lean into the things that expand you and lean into the thoughts that expand you, make the choices that expand you, create as much space as you need in order to make those choices that expand you. That's what Neptune needs. Neptune needs space to gain clarity because it is a fog of limitless possibilities. And so this week, Neptune and Aries were dreaming up this new sense of self. But the thing is, is people are getting more bold with their feelings and that boldness can move two ways. It could be moved for you to take bold action, to lean into what truly expands you and feels right for you. Or it could result in you desiring to control your external reality and project things onto people. And I've seen both things with, now that Neptune has entered Aries, and we're getting a big message about that this week.'cause Neptune's gonna meet up with Mercury, which is how we think and communicate. So there could be communications you have with people, interactions you have with people. Like downloads, intuitive downloads that you get that either are very clarifying for you and who you truly are or confuse you and make you feel projected on, or maybe you are the one projecting onto people. It is really hard to talk about Neptune because it's such a confusing planet. I hope I'm doing it justice. I wanna talk about the two things I've seen since Neptune moved into Aries. So I'll tell you the negative and then the positive. The negative thing that I have seen is, the thing is, is Neptune has no boundaries, right? And so it's really easy to project things onto people or to even communicate things that other people told you that was not yours to communicate or to like. Almost play telephone in a way. You know, like pass along a secret to someone else and it's not exactly it. And now you spread the rumor. That could happen this week because Mercury rules, Gemini. Rumors could be spread this week, projections, but also magic. So on the negative side, it could be that. You, you viewed a certain interaction with someone a certain way, and you didn't see that interaction clearly. Maybe you saw the interaction from a wound, so maybe you interacted with someone. And they said, yeah, they were being all weird about hanging out next week. And so the way you took it as is this person doesn't like me because maybe your wound is, is people don't like me. There's something wrong with me. That's always been, that's been a big wound of mine. So I'm talking from personal experience, but um. Let's say that you already have that wound. And so when someone's being weird about setting up plans with you, you just like make this decision that you're weird and they don't wanna spend time with you. And then you go and tell your friend, I don't think they wanna spend time with me. They've never liked me. I'm an asshole to me, so I'm just gonna make other plans this week. And then your friend talks to that friend and says, oh, like I heard that you didn't wanna hang out with blah, blah, blah, that you're being weird. And then that friend is like, what? I never said that. I just told her I had all these different things to do. Like where did she get that? And then you have this whole weird conversation where your friend addresses you and says, I never said I didn't wanna hang out with you. I was just telling you all the things that I had and I wanted to make it work. And you realize in that moment, oh my God, I was just projecting my story onto them. How many times have I projected this wound that people don't like me? So when they say that to me, it's like the first thing my mind comes up with in the first decision I make. How has that held me back in life? Has it held me back from being the real me? From being my real soul's truth? And so that could be an awareness you have this week. The clarity, the fog that dissolves is recognizing where you're projecting a wound onto someone and how that projection has been blocked you for many opportunities. And so you're deciding to stop it, to lean into the idea that your people love you and it doesn't, and, and, and almost take it less personally when people respond to you a certain way. Don't make it mean the wound anymore. You just make it mean nothing. You just surrender. That's the highest expression of Neptune. A positive way could work out. This is how it's been looking like for me this week. I feel more clear on who I am and what I'm here to do at this moment in time in my life than I ever have. I'm very clear on the what I provide for people. I'm very clear on my value and I'm very clear on what I don't wanna do anymore. Okay. And so when I first started my business, I didn't have that same clarity and I was told by a bunch of people, you just have to get visibility. You know, you gotta hustle, you gotta go to the events, the networking events, the panels, the workshops, you gotta be seen. And so. In a sense, I've recently realized that that mentality is a scarcity mentality, especially because there's so many things I said yes to when I first started my business. That actually confused, that stopped me from connecting to my soul's truth.'cause I thought I had to do it, like I had to go to the networking event. If someone asked me to be a part of this event with 65 people there, I had to go'cause of visibility. What if I missed an opportunity? And so when I had a friend come up to me this week and ask me, he's he, last time we talked, I was doing human design a few years ago. I used to do human design readings before I full out, only decided to do astrology. And he asked if I wanted to come do a, a human design or astrology or whatever I'm into these days. He just knows I'm very valuable and in that moment, and there was me, 65 people there, I'd get good visibility and in that moment, and I just didn't feel right in my body. My logical mind was thinking, well, visibility, people have told you visibility, like it makes logical sense to go, but everything in my body didn't wanna go. I'm clear on who I am, I'm clear on the value I provide, and I'm not just gonna go to an event and be a person at a booth that people walk by. I'm not like, I, I, I tr I don't want, I don't mean to seem egotistical, but I truly. Think that I, the wisdom I have to share with astrology is not normal astrology wisdom, and it's not for the mainstream. It's not for the normal people. And so I'm, I'm, I've been really honing into the fact of how sacred it is, the wisdom that I've embodied through astrology and what I have to share. That I don't wanna just go to an event with 65 people where anyone can talk to me and walk by me because most people are not gonna resonate with me. And. It just didn't feel right. I really don't have a logical reason to tell you. Again, Neptune and Aries wants you to follow the feeling of your soul, the expansive feeling, and it's not gonna come through logic. I even see myself trying to put logic on it for you right now. I don't even know if that logic is true. All I know is is it felt like a fucking no. Even though my brain was trying to come up with a logical reasons for why I should, and so I said no. And to most people, like an old version of me, I would look at saying no As, oh my God, this is scary. Or you being delusional, you're saying no to potential visibility. But the new version of me is like, no, you said no to that, but you said yes to who you're becoming. And I said in the beginning of this episode, I have learned that becoming is the way to everything you want. It is the, it is the way to live your life. The most fun, the most magical, the most abundant. You know, I've had people say to me, Rachel, things don't always have to be so deep. I wouldn't wanna be like doing all this, this explore. I don't know. They look at peeps. A lot of my friends look at a lot of the. Evolving I do as me always healing, and I don't look at it as that way. I look at it as me exploring the mysteries of life, and I'm constantly finding new mysteries, constantly unlocking new mysteries. And I mean, it's why I'm, I know I'm so good at what I do now because I live, I live evolution and I, I'm not afraid of it. And I don't think it's scary. I think it's joyous and fun and mystery filled and ugh, it's like orgasmic for me. I need to stop talking about it.'cause it really gets, I get turned on by it in a weird way. So it turn, it's funny. As much as I said no, it turned me on to say no. I was like, yeah, I'm honoring more of my soul. Like, fuck yeah, I know who I am. I feel solid. I feel connected to myself. I feel potent because when we say yes to, things be out of scarcity or because we think we should, but they don't feel expansive. They just feel logical like we should. It disperses your energy. It disperses your soul and makes you less potent feeling. It makes you less orgasmic feeling. It makes you feel spread thin. That's what it feels like. And so that is what I want you to pay attention to this week in relation to yourself, in conversations you have with people, and opportunities that open up as you move throughout your day. Are you moving from contraction because you think, can't you think you can't be yourself, and you think you have to be all these other vert things that don't feel right to you? Or can you be bold, brave, and courageous? That's Aries enough to say no to the things that don't feel expansive, and yes to the space that it creates when you say no to the things that feel contracting or another way to look at it.'cause maybe you're kind of confused in having a projecting conversation. Like that first example I gave. It could sting to find out you were wrong, but can you expand into what it means that you were wrong, that your friend didn't wanna hang out with you, that really you are lovable for your people. That's what this week is about. It's about expanding into true self and saying no to all of these things you learned that disperse true self, that that cloud true self, that move you away from true self. I hope I did. Neptune in Aries Conjunct Mercury in Aries Justice for this week. I hope you expand into your true self. I am sending so much love if you love the way I talk about this stuff.
