June 6 | Rest instead of ruminating…
New Moon in Gemini
Gosh, talk about a juicy transit. This lunation is the perfect time to let go of expectations and move on from feelings of limitation. This is all about stepping into what feels good, and walking that walk! Gemini has a way of demanding to act on our deepest desires. Don’t be surprised if you get frustrated with small talk when you’re not in the mood to show face, or even have an outburst in a meeting because your creativity just can’t be quelled! With this transit, you’ll notice a lot of feelings bubbling at the surface. Take a big breath, and give yourself time to really experience those emotions instead of letting them get the best of you. Your mind will be busy, but don’t let rumination get the best of you.
Rest should be a priority on this new moon! If you’re hitting the pavement running, you might soon find out that you’ll run out of steam. Conversations inside and outside of the workplace should have careful consideration today. You don’t want to say something that you can’t take back, even if it is true. Gossiping might feel good, especially around this transit, but odds are, it’ll bite you in the ass. Trust that laying low, and talking to a good friend on the phone is a much better use of your energy this new moon.
It’s important to make sure that you’re not saying “yes” to social obligations that will obliterate your social battery, or even drain you physically. Check-in with your body and mind before confirming events, and especially around this transit. A new moon in Gemini reminds me of when you commit to an evening out, only to desperately want to cancel an hour before the event. So make sure you’re not stretching yourself beyond your means. Also, be on the lookout for energy dips, and try to cultivate some space in your week to rest, recharge, and go inward.
Be mindful of your energy and protect it.
June 9 | Slow and steady wins the race…
Mars in Taurus
If you’ve had a super important project on the burner and need to rush to get things moving - now is the time to abandon ship! Just kidding! But, you might find your motivation dipping down this transit. As long as you know you’ll need more time to recharge and maybe a few more sips of coffee to get through the day, you’ll be golden.
During this transit, it’s best to focus on what you are doing right and what’s within your capacity instead of comparing yourself to someone else (or their ideals.) It’s also important to make sure that you’re not getting a little delusional about how much energy and free time you have. You might feel pulled to take on a big project (because of the outcome like money or recognition) but keep in mind the action steps you’ll need to take. Don’t be a victim of forgetting your human limits, and also don’t push yourself to a breaking point. Your hard work will be fruitless if you’re burnt out at the end of all of it.
Use this transit to slow down the pace and refine your movements and actions. Play life a little bit like Ches right now. By zooming out and taking your time, you’ll be setting your future self up for success.
Enjoy the ride and take things one step at a time.

On repeat 🎵 This song is taking TikTok by storm, and I’m about it tbh. Song of the summer if you ask me!
Meal prep 🥑 It’s not on the weekly menu, but we recently tried mugwort mochi, linked here. We had it with air-fried salmon and a vegetable medley - it was a hit!
On my nightstand 📚 So remember how I said I was taking a break from non-fiction? Well, in the past few days, I’ve been really into Fairy Tale by Stephen King. It’s a long one, but I’m 70% through and it’s been well worth the time. If you’re a bookworm too, let’s connect on Goodreads!

Now that the weather is settling up nicely, my wife and I will be resuming our guided meditations at the Interstellar Harmony House, located in Waynesville North Carolina! We’re in a cute little mountain range and offer a space within 500 feet of a ley line, which is perfect for zoning out and dropping into transformative meditation frequencies.
I don’t mention it much, but I’m a certified meditation teacher with 200 hours of credentials! I walk you through different grounding techniques that utilize somatic experiences and tap into nature in our outdoor space. Then, you’ll be brought on a journey via frequency and vibration to a place of rest. If you’ve never had a sound bath, you can read more about them here.

Alas, it seems like my time with coffee might be coming to an end, or at least for the moment. I’m ditching coffee and going back to teas for a hot minute. Of course, I’m back at it with my favorite tea brand, High Garden Tea. I’e been enjoying their Wildy Healthy in the morning, and it’s such a nice herbal start to my day!
This tea is packed with nutritive herbs like stinging nettle, dandelion leaf, and chickweed. Easily absorbable vitamins and minerals first thing in the morning is exactly what my body has been craving. Paired with some wildflower honey, it perfectly sets me up for the day.
