I’m so honored to be writing my first post for 224 & feel a sense of divine community at play. Bonds that we make weave through our lives in divine timing. Rarely do we realize the impact that an individual will have upon our being when first encountering them. Each soul that crosses your path does so for a reason that’s not always clear until time & space provide space for reflection. Honor each connection that has existed in your life to absorb lessons & release karmic ties.
Bria & I met online years ago as young mothers seeking connection in what can feel like a sea of isolation at times. The intersection of two divine feminines raising another generation of women in their power marked a new beginning for us as individuals & the collective. The unhealed divine masculine is entering its era of judgment/justice to reconcile for past (in)actions. Simultaneously, the divine feminine experiences rewards for her perseverance & faith through so many obstacles.
Having the opportunity to see B make her dream come true on her own terms & now be a part of this project feels fated. I’ve dreamed about being paid to create but felt the pressures of capitalism weighing on me. Her independence & innovation are paving the way for greater freedom in mine, & for that I’m forever grateful. Having a platform to express the comprehensive intersection of my passion for tarot, astrology, social issues, political science, psychology, and art is a priceless gift.

The Hierophant came up in my 9/27 card of the day post on Instagram @sage.thepisces, which emphasizes the divine nature of this union with Bria. That post reflects this journey of us coming together deeply, which I love. Go check it out & follow me to join my personal collective <3

During autumn, Gaia calls for us to go inward for healing in accordance with nature. Release what is weighing you down to ground yourself in this moment & maximize the potential of the present. Doing so requires stepping into the natural flow of abundance. Move with the Universal motions to reduce frustration & energetic blockages. Stop fighting the currents within, they’re guiding you. Sacred mirrors in the physical realm are meant to reveal where balance is needed.
Value & cherish those who reflect & bring out the best in you. Who are they? Who brings out your shadow self? What wounds do they seem to pour salt into? Realize that their presence is reflecting back what’s still unhealed. Address your issues, thank them for promoting recognition, & allow yourself to release the pain of the past. Move into this timeline untethered to propel forward with higher velocity & focus.
Recognize how far you’ve come. What a journey you’ve been on through the years. Honor it & the divine spark within that carried you through to a place that you dreamed of only a few years ago. You’ve always been the hero that you waited for to save you from the fire. You found faith within first & foremost. Now, it’s time for a new chapter.
This period is about, despite being able to stand alone, consciously choosing to pour into bonds & connections that serve the greater good of each individual. Ensuring that all involved are seen for their true selves, met at their current state, appreciated & loved for who they are, helped & empowered to reach their potential creates an energetic balance in relationships. How can you create reciprocal cycles of giving & receiving as a means of institutionalized kindness in your life?
We live & love in a duality. Resources & power are distributed between people in varying states of having & not. How do you view yourself when you’re giving to others? What about when you’re receiving? Don’t permit negative perceptions to hold you back from opportunities which require vulnerability for success. You’re not any better when you’re being charitable, don’t get on a high horse for being a decent person. Make humanity normal again. It’s not selfish to accept help when you need it either. Be brave to ask for what you need. It’s an act of self love & preservation.
Scarcity mindset only holds you back. It’s time to leave it behind you. Gratitude is rewarded with abundance. Recognize how good your life is now to see how much better it can get. Emphasizing lack rather than blessings creates imbalances in the energetic flow. Obsessive needs for control reveal deeper inner turmoil. Stagnation reminds that you can’t force things against the Universe’s will. Karma comes for all. Remember the themes of judgment & justice for this Libra season. Not being able to maintain things you want reveals that you may not believe that you deserve these luxuries. You’re worthy of your wildest dreams. The Universe can’t deliver them if you sabotage.
Let all that no longer fits into this era fall away. Maintaining antiquated beliefs/practices out of ‘respect’ for tradition fails to see that ancestors don’t want you to struggle just for the sake of it. Consider that the path of least resistance allows greater freedom to pour back into the work that feeds your soul. Life is dynamic. We must change along with it or get left behind. Don’t fall into the trap of chasing superficial experiences that leave your soul aching for more. Alignment is worth it, even if it takes time.
What can you learn from others? Open yourself up to the spiritual & practical knowledge around you by conversing with those you trust & meet in the world. Every interaction holds some message to help guide you through past, present, or future circumstances. Spiritual teachers are available if you allow yourself to be guided & see them. Don’t underestimate the power of your own intuition & remember that this is the perfect time to engage in psychic strengthening.
Be intentional with your gratitude & generosity. Consciously providing others with gifts of time, energy, money, & guidance reaps rewards back. Share your bounty with those around you & in need to keep the balance of power aligned with the greater good. Giving freely demonstrates an understanding of (& faith in) the Universal flow which ensures that what’s given with love comes back tenfold.
Being a good person is one of the highest forms of wealth. What will you reap this harvest season based on seeds sowed during the summer? What did Cancer teach you about nurture & self care? How have your relationships & home dynamics shifted since then? What did Leo impart on you about confidence & power? How have you used this wisdom to manifest more efficiently? What did Virgo show you about the difference that can be made by paying attention to the details? How has consistency paid off for you in this month?
You’re the architect of your life, take control.
Love always, Sage
