ASTRO BISTRO n°3 : New Moon in Aquarius☽
Alchemist moment + tarot reading of the month.
Dear reader,
In January for Capricorn season, I’ve spent a lot of money investing into my home.
Likely !
Also I made something from my hands, in a beautiful green clay colour, and that’s a desk. I’m pretty proud of how DIY turned out but I can’t pretend a grounding earth energy wasn't at work behind all those decisions of mine… we (boyfriend and I) invested in a coffee maker and I learned how to make frosty milk, barista mode activated ! I also wondered if I should follow a Barista Express Formation in spite of boredom and that cottagecore dream of me working as a Barista-Yogi teacher from my own Studio-& Writer full time, I had for some years.
Anyway !
Who’s excited for ‘ASTRO BISTRO’ ?
Because I am !
A New Moon is rising from the dark and we are entering a new phase of our year with this Aquarian energy.
To keep the content exciting and spicy I just deep dived a tad more about Aquarius and its significance and did a tarot reading on the energies of the upcoming month. The cards, as always, were chatty. Also I did give my tarot cards a secret name, am I the only one? The game’s always showing me some cards on repeat too - I’m a Sun and Moon heavily influenced girl.
About Aquarius :
Aquarius is ruled by the planet Uranus, linked to the deity Saturn. Its group element is air and it represents progress, universal conscience, renewal, space and liberty, rejection of the convention established, innovations, … Aquarius is the alien type, the one who comes from the ether with a special knowledge in need to be shared with the class. Sometimes stuck into their littles bubbles, they come alive with ideas, people and shared connections. Their message speaks of the future and how to be a ruler of it - not a follower among the masses.
You can find more information online about what gem is associated with it, what tarot card and even its own plant.
Astrology is this informative!
About my tarot reading, the cards had a clear message: we’re in need of changes.
And we need to make it happen now ! So wake it up and go chase that new life of yours. After listening to an excellent podcast about numerology, I learned that we were in a 9 energy year, meaning the end of a cycle. And somehow, to me everything is still linked and crystal (amethyst) clear. As I am writing I acknowledge we’ve now entered the Chinese New Year! Happy Têt!
So what’s making sense to me about Aquarius energy asking for changes, the Chinese New Year of the Snake, and the energy of the Year 9 in Numerology? Almost ten (almost twelve even) years ago I flew away from the city I’ve now begun to live in last year.
The synchronicity is everywhere with the soul to see.
(I’ve closed numerous chapters about my past life, but I’m making new in old memories, washing them with my aura that sure has changed. I’m coming back to my roots - and I’m facing many fears living free amongst my city. I’m standing still and small but I feel tall anyway. What’s making sense is I ache for coming back to what I always loved - to dance and to move my body and to write and to perform. And to not care anymore. In the last nine years I endured a lot - I will be twenty nine in august and nine years ago I was a fresh twenty year old not even enough of herself to dream for herself. My dream nine years ago was filled by a man - a man that I used to deconstruct everything I used to be.
Now I am in a relationship with a tender man, his stature may not be tall but his heart is grand. And my fears he can fight. And my tears - they’re not tears about him. He tries to be my Sugar, to ease the Salt on my wounds. And I’m trying too. I’m trying so fucking bad to not be a beast anymore: to not have claws and poison in my mouth dripping everywhere. In the nine last year I met myself again. And I’m being her just right now, writing, shaking a little bit because it’s difficult to face everything my body is feeling in a clarity rush.
The point is what I ended, is not anymore.
And what stands still, is my new life I made by myself.
I found a respectful lover, I found a home, I pour love in it, my dad says he’s proud of me, my grandmother too and even my mother cares deeply for me. I’m trying to be a good daughter, sister, granddaughter.
I’m trying to be good, I’m filling administrative papers, I’m even meeting a new therapist next week. I see my best friend a lot and when I’m with my dad he takes me to the sea to breathe better. When I’m home I cook and I bake and I clean and I light candles and I write. I’m kinda on the right path, it’s just it’s unclear sometimes for me to have the grand picture of it all.
Maybe I will never have it and it’s not mine to see.
Only to experience and to report.)
My 2025 intentions :
I intend to invest in both my physical and mental health by paying for ballet classes - it’ll improve many areas on my life
In 2025 in addition to my yoga practice I wish to learn about its history and theory more so I’ll deep dive in yoga books, podcasts or documentaries
I wish to - at some point in my life, if it’s what God intended for me, to follow a yoga teaching formation, in the pursuit to show my own body love, dedication and discipline, and to heal both myself and others through my teaching
Because I earn myself knowledge and success, I’ll end with brio my journalism studies and it can’t be any other way because I said so
I wish to craft more while using my hands and brain, I can sew, paint, transform, create… I need to learn about constructions skills more and will do so
I’ll find soon a new job and that job will bring me money and joy
Tarot reading :
THE MOON | THE JUDGEMENT | THE EMPEROR
After a time of introspection, dream, a return to the matrice maybe (moon influence), in that yin energy winter time, you have rested enough and soon the light is coming back as the day will grow after the dark winter.
You’re returning to yourself, what makes you feel alive and your ideas may be bursting. The judgement is kindly asking you for changes and to make them happen now,
where’s your place in this world ?
How will you achieve your dreams? It’s time to make a to-do list but not only you have to write it, you have to follow it.
The last test of year Nine (end of the cycle) is still occuring. Your vocation is around the corner, goes with the flow of your mind but use it to shape something concrete. Something you can hold and show and have for yourself.
You’re not passive and the Emperor is urging you to embrace a raw and powerful martial energy - the masculine is in power and you have to take actions towards your goals, not only contemplate them in your head before sleeping with envy from a life you do deserve but do not pursue. Mind and matters !
Affirmations of the month :
I can achieve the life I want and shape my own reality.
I’m the entrepreneur of my happiness.
I am on the right path and I thank God for my great relationship with It.
Thank you dear fellow Substacker for your curiosity and I hope to see you next time for our New Moon meeting for ‘Astro Bistro’ !
Yours truly,
Michèle. x 💌
