28: The Emergent NO: An Episode in Honor of Aries-Taurus Teachings at the Dark Moon

<p>Well well well... what a lunar cycle this has been. In order to help myself, and in the hopes that what's coming through for me will be helpful to you, I have a lot to share about what's been going on these last weeks.&nbsp;</p> <p>In this episode, I guide us in contemplating the ways that rooting into our Taurus values have allowed us to assert a more clear and sacred No. There has been a lot of separating energy in this Mars-ruled cycle.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here I propose that when the No emerges it is because Death is present somehow.

Vultures feast on and clear what is dead in order to live and seed new life. We can learn from this. I discuss Vulture Magic at length in the episode. I'm finding a lot of inspiration here personally right now.&nbsp;</p> <p>At the end of the episode, I share a tarot spread I'm calling "Your Emergent No: A Dark Moon Exercise for Self-Care." It is really best to hear the full guidance before trying, and then feel free to amend to your knowing.&nbsp;This section of the episode is really deep, and will b
