the concept of completion (in the context of cycles)

i think the concept of completion (in the context of cycles) is counterintuitive to the cyclical and continual nature of things.

for me it shows up as resistance to release & continuation.

it shows up as the facade of perfectionism and linearity.

so i wanted to share my process and thoughts on it in a very loose and possibly nonsensical audio clip 😅

Jupiter is in Gemini right over my black moon lilith placement and I realize that’s a reflection of why/how I am feeling like using my voice again, to practice being vulnerable through more than just my written word.

I know I don’t have to, but I want to. It’s an area. I don’t feel super confident in, but I also know how valuable it is when I am able to verbally communicate well.

This is the reason why I started that Moonletters podcast last year. I’ve taken a break from it since i was mostly reading & sharing extra on my moonletter emails i send on full + new moons on my other email list, and i didn’t feel a time-sensitive podcast was what i wanted.

So I’m trying out other way of sharing here to see what feels best… plus substack made it easy to “set up” a way of sharing audio / podcast-ish things here… and i’m like why not!

I hope you enjoy this little snippet from my mind. I sure hope it makes sense 😅, since I don’t feel as cohesive or organized when I’m speaking as I do when I’m writing.

Practice strengthening that skill and or accepting myself as I am.

Thanks for being here,
