Hello, lovelies! We are in the thick of Eclipse Season! How are you feeling? This one's been so real for me so in lieu of an October second half episode, I'd love to share with you this deep dive with Grace Yap on the eclipses that we're currently moving through.
This energy feels unpredictable yet so deep and filled with so many gems. Around the 15th of October (gmt+8), we had a Libra Solar Eclipse, continuing a cycle that's just began when the nodes shifted in July of this year, while on the 29th (gmt+8), we have a Taurus lunar eclipse ending a cycle which began in November 2021.
Both of these eclipses are Venus ruled bringing our attention to relationships, values, and the remembrance that everything in this world is a reflection.
In this episode, Grace and I share about:
About the Nodes and Eclipses
Finding Worth: Unpacking Childhood Values
Astrological Alignments and Warriorship
Expanding the Concept of Resources
Intimacy, Self-Reflection and Kinsugi: Aries and Libra Nodes in Astrology
Empowering With Gold: Lighting Our Inner Community
Protecting Your Inner Light: Self-Care and Boundaries
Sending you lots of love as you listen to this episode. Share with us how it's resonating with you and what's coming up for you around this eclipse season.

We have some big transits currently going on and I'd love to share some of what I'm receiving with you through this epsiode.
On the 15th of May, Mercury stationed direct in Taurus after being retrograde since April 22. On the 17th of May, Jupiter has moved into sensual and earthy Taurus and will be there until the 25th of May 2024, so this is a big change in pace considering that he just spent time in fiery Aries. Something to consider though, when a bigger planet moves; we don't really feel the effects until a couple of weeks after, once it has all settled in ~ so if you're not feeling the switch up quite yet, allow yourself to really ground into the present and slowly, it will begin unraveling.
If you have no idea about where your natal planets are and how this is working with your individual chart, send over a message and I'd love to help! I'm just about to re-launch my offers which include readings, group programs and even Zumba workshops! If any of this sounds interesting to you, email me at [email protected] or DM me on Instagram @starrystarryvibes.
Talk to you soon 🌺

"I'd like to believe that in the world there are two types of reality: that is the world and that is life. We are so tuned in with the reality of the world that we forgot that the world is within life. And so the more we understand the bigger aspect of life and appreciate that, the more we're able to use the world as a tool to amplify life. Just like a microphone, for example which is a part of the world, I can use the microphone to amplify my voice so I can be heard louder. I can use technology to amplify my presence and my visibility for me to be able amplify what is the life within me. But we're so tuned in with the world that we don't know what to amplify; we don't know what's powering that. Electricity and electricity and all tech and all world, that's gonna burn out. That's why there's a lot of burn out and depression because the world doesn't power itself - life powers the world."
- Cath Prema 🌸
For this first episode back in a long time, I am joined by the beautiful and radiant Cath Prema for a flowy conversation about life, love, magic, poetry and being human. In this episode we share about:
Bowing down to our heart
Cath's definition of Spirituality
Spirituality, magick and presence
The entire Universe as a mirror -- joining the song of life through poetry
A balance between the head and heart
What to do when you're feeling low, stuck and burnt out
The potential of humanity and reclaiming our power
& so much more
**An edit for the end where I shared the current planetary dances ~ today Venus moves into LIBRA, not yet into Scorpio :)

“Cultural Appropriation... Classically it can be applied to Tantra. Tantra is an incredible tool, an incredible technology to unlock the power that’s hidden within you & you do that through several different yogic practices: Sadhana, mantras, yantra and meditation, movement; several different things that can invoke this power - this energy to rise up so that you’re fully conscious of who you are and your purpose here on this earth. That’s basically what Tantra is all about but, you know, cultural appropriation and the western indoctrination... The power has been so related to your sexual power, because a lot of times when we feel this energy moving within us, it does move into these spaces that are sexual: your womb space, your yoni, all these different parts within you: your Svashisthana (or sacral) chakra which is responsible for creation and creativity.
So what has happened that this energy has been mistaken for sexual acts, sexual practices and sacred sexuality. Nothing is wrong with that - but that’s cultural appropriation to the T. Like you’ve taken just what is sacred and applied it to just have good sex or to get great orgasms or sometimes it’s even shameful in saying that you know, ‘this has helped me reach to different levels of consciousness and have great sex with different sex partners.’ I think that’s so ignorant. If you just type tantra in google, all you’re going to be graced with is tantric sex and different sexual stuff and that really embarrasses me because first of all, you’re completely disregarding such a powerful technology to awaken into yourself by degrading something so sacred to a sexual act which is completely different to sexuality and sexual energy and the sexual power and the creation force because you wanna have great orgasms.”
-Luchele Mendes (@wildtantrika)
In this conversation, we discuss:
🌺Foraging and herbalism
🌺Honoring the cycles of the earth
🌺Colonialism
🌺Cultural Appropriation
🌺Tantra
🌺Sexuality
🌺Soulmates
🌺Deepening relationships through understanding our sexuality
🌺True Love
🌺Spiritual superiority
🌺and so much more...
