What are you allowing to Shape your world?

Hello beautiful beings, I hope you are navigating this liminal stretch between the eclipses with a sense of grace - even if it has been up and down for so many of us!

Over the past week, in meditation, I keep meeting the same theme: shaping, and being shaped. I wanted to unpack it a little, in the hope that it serves you too.

There is an old philosophical debate about whether we shape the world or it shapes us - whether it's possible to be an island, singular, self-made, or whether we are simply products of our environment. Like most things, I believe it's both. We are always responding to what's offered to us, being shaped by it, and then choosing what to add, remove, nurture, release. A continual dance - breathing in lifeforce to nourish the body, moving to the rhythm within, stepping toward what we desire, drawing back from what is painful, expressing everything that moves through us.

This eclipse season feels like a distinct one. The nodes of fate have recently shifted into Leo, the heart of the individual, and Aquarius, the collective good. This week, we move from the individual to our part in something larger - the piece each of us carries toward a greater mission, meant to serve the whole.

The Leo eclipse was the one that changed the shape of you, as an individual - it made us more moldable, more moveable, more flexible. This week's eclipse moves through our environment, reshaping the landscape that continues to mold us, and that we continue to mold in turn. As we've been changed these past weeks, so is the world around us. And then it changes us again. An interesting cycle, and one that leaves me hopeful. Rather than pushing against an unyielding world, we can begin to notice where the light is coming through, and where it wants to lead us.

A few threads to sit with for the rest of this week:

• What you are allowing to shape you - the conversations, the food, the media - and whether it is worthy of you.
• What you can offer yourself, as an individual, that will leave you stronger, more aligned, more healed.
• What you feel called to offer the people, the spaces, the world around you - and how you might do that with more love and joy.

We are built to change the world, and to be changed by it. Take time today to notice which influences you want to amplify, and which you're ready to release. Look honestly at what in you keeps reaching for what is unhealthy, and begin to choose something higher. Our liminal space between the eclipses closes this week with the Pisces eclipse. What we choose after truly matters for the months ahead - so set aside the time to meditate, to consider, to rearrange.

Sending you blessings for clarity, deep passion, and focus.

P.S. You're welcome to join me online Thursday evening, a few hours before the eclipse begins. We'll turn our focus toward the shadow side - sacrifice, people-pleasing, obligation - so you can close this eclipse season in light and grace.
