MERCURY DIRECT
MERCURY DIRECT

Mercury went direct in the zodiac sign Pisces on March 20th and enters Aries on April 14th, boosting the celebration of the Astrological New Year and Spring Equinox.


So let's get into how you can use the transits and your natal chart to manifest.


What a powerful beginning into the transition of oneness. Pisces, a mutable sign, watches over the 12th house, which is the integration and mastery of 3-6-9.


Nikola Tesla discovered the secret code for manifestation: 3-6-9. The numbers 3 and 6 are the binary or polarized energy. The physical example would be magnetic poles and electricity. The number 9 is the Source or Unity number; for example, a 360° circle (3+6+0=9), the sum of the Fibonacci cycle.


In astrology, houses 3, 6, 9, and 12 represent mental houses and are all mutable signs: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. The Universal Law of mentalism states that everything is imagined first in the mind and manifested into the physical. Today, I want to break down my theory of how we create our reality using astrology.


The secret code of the 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th houses.


First, let's begin with the natal chart. When we were born, we were given specific details about how our minds work. Keep in mind that our brains are like computers, processing information that we download from the ether.


[An Aquarius Rising way of breaking down information is through the unique perspective of playing a game and technology.] Me 😊


We have approximately 6,200 thoughts per day, and most of those thoughts are not fired from our conscious mind. 95% are repetitive and recycled thoughts. 80% are estimated to be negative thoughts as a result of trauma and limiting beliefs.


Think of your 6,200 thoughts as a playlist of songs, and 95% are repeating songs, and 80% of those songs are the same vibe. 🎶


The secrets of the 3, 6, 9, and 12 houses help us create mental order. But our thoughts make self-mastery hard. Your 12th house is essentially a negative repeat machine of the subconscious. To cheat the system, we use 3 (new thought) to break the 95% repetition. We use 6 (routine) to shift negativity into positive habits. By the time we reach 9, we've rewritten the playlist. Mental noise is just a repetitive loop.


Mutable energy allows for our mental processing to be flexible and not so fixed on our objective. But each mutable sign represents an element: Gemini air, Virgo earth, Sagittarius fire, and Pisces water. Elements give each mutable sign a different energy. This is how we learn, think, speak, teach, and communicate information, and how we take mental concepts and relate them to the physical world. But according to your Ascendant/Rising zodiac sign, the elements change, and the modalities, as the 3, 6, 9, and 12 house rulers.


Fire Impulsive / Inspiration / 3 Inception / Courageous Vision

Earth Concrete / Slow / Tangible / 6 Integration / Disciplined Action

Air Intellect / Detached / Logical / 9 Expansion / Objective Wisdom

Water Emotional / Imagination / 12 Surrender / Intuitive Mastery


Modalities:

Cardinal / Initiates / Let's get it done now!

Fixed / Sustains / Let's keep this going until it's perfect.

Mutable / Adapts / How can we change this to make it better?



Because of our uniqueness, we have a different mental processor because of the date, time, and place of our birth.


💡 What that means is our minds work differently from anyone else on earth. So if we are trying to manifest the way someone else teaches, it won't work for us.


Our Avatar in this matrix, we call life, is our rising zodiac sign and the accumulation of other houses, planets, and aspects in our chart. Because I don't have your unique Blueprint, I can only share the basics of your natal chart.


Here are my 3, 6, 9, and 12 houses from my natal Blueprint. My process of how I manifest:

3 House Aries - Initiates Inception through inspiration and an impulsive, courageous vision that feels like a spark of creativity. Parts of Fortune, the combination of my Big 3, bring me luck and fortune in this house.

6 House Cancer - Initiates integration through intuitive and emotional mastery of my healthy routines and habits. Mars Conjunct Venus, I take intuitive action towards how I feel if I love it or I don't. I nurture my ideas. Sometimes I lose sight and let emotions get in the way.

9 House Libra - Initiates expansion of ideas through intellectual, logical, and objective wisdom. Making sure it is a fair and harmonious big picture by ensuring that everything is cohesive, beautiful, and balanced. Moon, I intuitively connect with the spiritual realm for guidance, which sometimes feels difficult, because I need my downloads to feel logical.

12 House Capricorn - Initiates surrender through slow, tangible, and disciplined action by using a system to execute how I process information. Success and Surrender in the same house is challenging.


The 3rd house covers the elementary way of communicating, thinking, and learning. Mercury, the messenger planet, rules the 3rd house, where Gemini, the air sign, is naturally. (Think of Mercury as the planet that connects you directly to the ether to download information.) When Mercury retrogrades, information goes a little haywire.


According to the time of your birth, you will have a different zodiac in the 3rd house. For example, Aries Rising will always have Gemini 3rd house, but someone with a Leo rising will have Libra in the 3rd House.


Think of the astrological wheel like a radio dial 📻 where you turn the nob counterclockwise to tune into your unique music.


The 3rd house begins the seed of a thought form, and in the Law of Mentalism, this is the active principle. You decide what you want to master, not knowing causes mental confusion. Knowing tunes you into the frequency of the Universe with resonance, like listening to your favorite song. This is the beginning of your manifestation. The announcement you make to the Universe with an energetic "yes" connects you to the image of thought, forming a visual for what you have decided.


The 6th house is the physical routines you master in learning, listening, and communication in a grounded, detailed, and analytical way. Mercury is the natural planet that not only rules the 3rd house, Gemini, but also the 6th house, Virgo. Virgo, the earth sign, is how you grow your manifestation healthily. In the 6th house, Mercury gives you messages on how to be consistent. If you don't have healthy habits, you will overthink your process, causing mental stuckness rooted in perfection.


Think of this 6th house like dancing to the song you have selected on the radio 📻, adjusting the volume, giving you an energetic boost that changes your vibe through a daily practice.


The 9th house is learning through a broader, higher mind, seeking a more expansive way of thinking by processing information through big-picture ideas and tapping into the ether of knowledge, sharing your philosophical outlook and wisdom. The natural zodiac sign is Sagittarius, and the ruling planet is Jupiter, the planet of Expansion. This house can feel like a gift from the heavens.


The 9th house is like listening to music with high-fidelity, noise-cancelling headphones, giving you a more immersive, deeper experience, to lose yourself in the symphony 🎧 Creating 5% new thoughts.

The 12th House is the birthplace of the imagination and tapping into the spiritual realm of hope, compassion, and empathy. The 12th house is subconscious; it is where your unseen karma and programs live. Most people's minds get hacked by their fears, and old patterns run their lives. This is the house where the process of the 3, 6, and 9 houses eventually becomes part of self-mastery. The natural zodiac sign is Pisces, and the modern ruler is Neptune, the planet of unconscious, dreams, spirituality, illusions, addictive habits, and transcendence. The 12th house in the 3, 6, 9 manifestation "cheat code" represents the execution phase, manual work ends, and the Universe takes over. It is the stage of radical surrender.


Think of it like making a playlist of music; you trust the right songs will play because you took the actions to create it. Now the only thing you need to do is sit back, enjoy, and become one with the music. 🎵 🤩


Mercury is one of the planets that assists you on your manifestation journey through organizing the mind. When it is direct, it motivates outward motion. When it retrogrades, it asks you to reflect and revise.


The cheat code to manifesting is to know how you think and to do something about the thoughts that derail you. The inner work is how I changed my mindset, self-worth, and belief that everything will happen as it should. Check out my process here. Resources

Attunement with the Universe
Attunement with the Universe

Welcome back to the cosmic library, a spot in the universe that awakens you to your truth.

What a wild and crazy ride of revelations unfolding. As the truth reveals itself, I reconnect to the most authentic parts of myself. All of the hidden pieces of the puzzle have come forth, and I am beyond honored that you are going on this journey with me.


I could never have imagined what we were being shown, but no matter how dark and sinister, we needed to see it. I don't recommend looking at all of the images because for some, it is too much to handle; I personally can't.

I'm sure you’re looking for answers as I have, wondering how and why some people are capable of such darkness. So, I've done some soul searching, channeling, and taken a deep and hard look at symbology, patterns, and where everything fell out of balance. I hope that what I am about to share with you will bring you peace, but most of all, fill in the blanks on how we got here.


For warning, this is going to be a long conversation, so get comfortable, grab something to drink (preferably non-alcoholic), because you will need a clear mind. Don't forget to leave a comment to keep the conversation going.


If reading isn't your thing, stay tuned for my YouTube videos. Take this time to subscribe to my channel and podcast. Whether you prefer listening, watching, or reading, I've got you covered.




Alright, let's start from the beginning. If you've been with me for a while, then you probably know this part of my story. Honestly, it won't hurt to hear it again because it will help you make sense of everything I am about to share.


When I began my spiritual awakening in 2013 ( I originally thought I awakened in 2017, but now I'm positive it was in 2013), I had no idea what was happening to me cosmically; I only knew I felt an internal pull to move in the direction of self-discovery. If you have a copy of my book, then you know there was a moment when I told the Universe that I wanted to help women find their magic. I had not a clue what that looked like, but I was ready to surrender. That is when I began turning inward to find myself.


I began journaling, meditating, exercising, and reading to find the answers. During a meditation, I was met by an orange flame that presented itself as Goddess Ishtar. I didn't think much about it, other than the color orange is associated with the sacral chakra. If you're not familiar with chakras, they are energy centers, and the sacral is found below your belly button, where your womb is located. It is not only where you literally give birth to children, but also where your creative energy is stored. I was feeling completely burned out creatively, so I thought that was why the orange flame appeared. What it really was was the start of my initiation into the underworld. I soon began having dreams and synchronicities of the star symbol. In one dream, someone was yelling, "Stella, Stella" inside an OB-GYN doctor's office. As I entered different rooms, I saw giant posters with Stella written in bright red cursive letters. In another dream, a gold eight-pointed star was hovering over my uterus, while I heard a whisper say, "Remember who you are, remember who you are." Everywhere I went, I would either see a star logo on a van, truck, or the word written on street signs like Astrate. I met a woman online and shared with her about the star synchronicity. She then proceeded to tell me she had just gotten a star tattoo on the side of her wrist and sent me a picture.

I couldn't figure out why the star and where were my spirit guides trying to take me. Circling back to the goddess Ishtar, I discovered her symbol was the eight-pointed star, which represents the planet Venus. I began studying astrology when I say study, I mean picking up a few books, glancing through them, and then having a remembrance; it felt like I was recalling it to my memory. I was led down the path of learning Tarot, and about my natal chart. I discovered that I am an Aquarius rising. I also remembered that my mother read Tarot for her friends and it was circling back to acknowledge that I too had a gift for reading. In Tarot, the major arcana card 17 is the Star card, representing Aquarius. Here I was back to the star. Oh, and 17 reduces to 8, which ties back to the eight-pointed star! I promise I am going somewhere with all of this star madness and saving the children. Oh, and speaking about children, I had a lot of dreams about being pregnant and babies, which is a sign of a rebirth.


Here is something you should take into consideration that I had no idea about until I began learning/remembering astrology: at the age of fifty, you have a Chiron Return. In 2013, when I was having my awakening, I was turning fifty the following year. So why is this important? Well, Chiron is the Wounded Healer, and in your natal chart, it is placed in an area where you need to heal a karmic wound, which is a belief you have about your self-worth that you brought into this lifetime.


Remember me sharing how I told the universe I wanted to help women find their magic, but didn't know how? Welp, by healing a Chiron wound, it becomes your medicine that you use to help others. Can you see how everything is divinely unfolding? I needed to do the inner work, record how I did it, and once I integrated, I became the medicine. So when Goddess Ishtar appeared as my guide, it was to assist me in my transformation.


In 2023, I experienced my Saturn Return at fifty-nine. I never said this journey is easy. But hey, I did the work, created the tools, because if you know anything about a Saturn Return, you're forced to create structure and discipline in the area or house you have Saturn in your natal chart. You want to take a guess where I have Chiron and Saturn? You guessed it, in the second house of self-worth, money, and the material world! Pisces rules that house in my natal chart, which means I had to take the spiritual route to heal and not fall for illusions. This was extremely difficult because I had to break the paradigm that the patriarchal system set up for women. The belief that your self-worth is tied to the erasure of your identity and earning money. I was fighting the belief that the patriarchal system set about women aging, and their value. This was part of the initiation.


Now that you're caught up, let's discuss what's happening today and how the symbology of the eight-pointed star literally points to the state of the world.


But first, what is the true shape of a star? What if I told you that a plasmic star is a sphere, or more precisely, an oblate spheroid? While commonly depicted with points, actual stars are enormous, spherical, brightly glowing balls of plasma.


So, where did the overlapping of two triangles to form a star known as the hexagram or the Star of David come from? The origins of this symbol aren’t rooted in astronomy, but rather in a mix of geometry, religion, and cultural history.


In Hinduism & Buddhism, the six-pointed star represents the union of masculine (upward triangle) and feminine (downward triangle), or the union of spirit and matter.


In Western occultism and Alchemy, the upward triangle represents fire, and the downward triangle represents water. Combining them both symbolizes the "Great Work" or the harmony of opposites.


While the hexagram appeared in ancient Jewish art (like carvings on synagogues), it wasn't an exclusive symbol for Judaism for a long time.


The "Seal of Solomon" six-pointed star was believed to have been used in the Middle Ages as a signet ring used by King Solomon to control demons and spirits.


In 17th-century Prague, the Jewish community began using the Star of David as an official community symbol, and it eventually spread across Europe as a counterpart to the Christian Cross.


So if stars are spheres, why use this specific geometry?


Through a sociological and psychological perspective, many scholars of symbolic anthropology and archetypal psychology (like Carl Jung) have observed the distinction between the "pointed star" and the "circle/orb" and how it often mirrors the traditional symbolic divide between the masculine (patriarchal) and the feminine (matriarchal) energies.

The Star, specifically the version made of two triangles, is often associated with traits traditionally categorized as masculine or patriarchal. The points of the star radiate outward, directional power, and in many cultures, the triangle represents the phallus, fire, and the drive to "ascend" or conquer. A star is a complex geometric construction. It requires straight lines and sharp angles, symbolizing logic, law, and the cutting nature of intellect. Stars are often used in a hierarchy to denote rank, with the top point of the star suggesting the peak or head of the hierarchy. It represents the attainable, distant goal, the guiding light that is watching over the world from a position of authority.



The circle/orb is a symbol of the feminine, the "Mother," and matriarchal systems. The womb: the orb is shaped like an egg, the belly, and the breast. It represents containment, protection, and the "Great Mother." Unlike the star, a circle has no top or bottom and no sharp points. Every point on the circumference is equidistant from the center. This reflects a horizontal or communal social structure rather than a vertical hierarchy. Cycles are a matriarchal symbolism and tied to the Moon (orb) and its phases. It represents the cyclical nature of life, death, and rebirth, rather than the linear progress represented by a pointed star.


Something else I forgot to mention is that when I began my initiation, I was guided to work with the moon and her phases. Remember, the Moon and the Sun are the brightest luminaries in the sky, and they are both orbs.


In alchemy and psychology, the circle (or "mandala") represents the "self", a state where all parts are integrated rather than divided.


Historically, as many cultures transitioned from Earth-based, matriarchal worship (the circle of the seasons and the Earth) to Sky-based, patriarchal religions (the Star or Sun of the heavens), the iconography shifted.


The sword vs. the chalice: This is a classic way this is taught. The sword (pointed, star-like, piercing) represents the patriarchy. The chalice (rounded, orb-like, containing) represents the matriarchy.


While the six-pointed star leans toward "sharp" patriarchal geometry, the eight-pointed star, known as the octagram or the Star of Ishtar, is one of the oldest feminine symbols in human history. The reason this specific star is feminine is not about geometry, but the astronomical behavior of the planet Venus.


The "Rose of Venus" (The Orbital Pattern), the most profound reason the 8-pointed star's link to the feminine, is the 8-year cycle of the planet Venus.


Rose of Venus
Rose of Venus

From our perspective on Earth, Venus completes a cycle every 8 years, where it returns to the same spot in the sky. If you track the position of Venus relative to Earth, it traces a near-perfect five-petaled rose in the sky. Because of this eight-to-five point ratio (8 years of Earth for 5 cycles of Venus), the number 8 became the sacred number of the goddess of love.


In ancient Mesopotamia, the eight-pointed star was the primary symbol for Inanna (later known as Ishtar), the Queen of Heaven.


Fun fact, my name, Celia, means Heavenly. Reminds me of a dream I had about the sky opening up, revealing thousands of spaceships, and out of one stepped a beautiful, dark-skinned couple, giants, wearing Egyptian clothing, embellished with gold necklaces and headpieces. They assured my safety by announcing, "The Anunnaki are here." Later, I would discover that Ishtar is an Anunnaki, and astrology was learned over 4,000 years ago in Mesopotamia.


Venus is both the "Morning Star" and the "Evening Star." The eight points represent the goddess's ability to govern both light and dark, war and love, life and death.

The Compass represents the eight directions, symbolizing the goddess's omnipresence and her role as the center of the world.


In terms of pure shape, sacred geometry, the eight-pointed star is the "Bridge" between the square (the earth/material) and the circle (the heaven/spirit). It is often depicted as a flower (the rosette), blending the "pointed" nature of a star with the "organic" nature of a blooming plant.


Even as the patriarchal systems took over, the 8-pointed star remained a symbol of the "Divine Feminine." In Christian iconography, the Virgin Mary is often called the "Star of the Sea" (Stella Maris). (Remember, Stella, Stella?) and is frequently depicted wearing an eight-pointed star on her cloak, inheriting the symbol from Ishtar/Venus.


Gnosticism: It represents the Sophia (Wisdom), the feminine aspect of the divine.


(Thanks for hanging in there. I know this is a long blog post. I assure you, it will shed some light, if it hasn't already. 😊 )


So remember my dream about the eight-pointed star hovering over my uterus? I needed to find out the correlation. Here is the connection I found. The eight-pointed star and the uterus are found at the intersection of biological rhythms, ancient sacred geometry, and the "Life Giver" archetypes of early civilizations. While the star looks "sharp" to the modern eye, to the ancient mind, it was a map of fertility and the internal timing of the female body.

In ancient cultures (like the Maya and Sumerians), following the thirteen moon cycles for fertility was their calendar. In ancient carvings, the star of Ishtar/Inanna was a rosette, a blooming flower, and in biological mimicry, the cervix is often described as having a rosette-like appearance from the front. Ancient priestesses viewed the eight-pointed star as the gate through which life enters the world. Just as the star represents the "Morning Star" (birth/emergence), the uterus is the physical site of that emergence. The eight-pointed star was used as a talisman for regeneration.

In the Sumerian "Descent of Inanna" myths, the goddess dies and is reborn, mirroring the shedding of the uterine lining and the potential for new life. I will share how this correlates with me entering menopause later.


As societies became more patriarchal, the soft, flower-like star became sharp, dagger-like points. This shifted the meaning from fruitfulness of the womb to the power of the crown.


The shift from the matriarchal Orb/Rosette symbolism to patriarchal pointed/hierarchical symbolism wasn't an accident; it was a deliberate social and political restructuring that took place over thousands of years.

As private property and land ownership became central to civilization, men wanted to pass their wealth to their biological sons. To ensure paternity, women’s bodies had to be controlled. The Orb, representing the autonomous self-contained womb, was brought under the protection and authority of the star, the male head of the household.


The Great Sky God Revolution - Early religions were earth-based, focusing on soil and the moon. But it was hijacked as nomadic, warring tribes, the Indo-Europeans moved into settled areas, and they brought Solar or Sky gods. These gods lived in the high peaks of the mountains and the distant cold stars.

The Earth was redefined as passive or matter, from the Latin mater, meaning Mother, while the Sky was redefined as active or spirit. This created a hierarchy, the spirit being male and above matter, which is female.

One of the most effective ways the patriarchy disguised the feminine was by placing her on a pedestal, elevating her so high that she was removed from actual power.

The Virgin vs. The Mother: The eight-pointed star of Venus, a goddess of raw sex, war, and fertility, was cleaned up. In the Middle Ages, this star became the symbol of the Virgin Mary. Her womb power was still acknowledged, but now under the authority of a Father God. She became a vessel rather than the source.

Going back to the Star of David, where the upward point equated with good light and progress, whereas the downward point equated with darkness, sin, and regression. By defining the feminine as the downward force, it became philosophically necessary for the upward male force to rule over the world to keep balance. The patriarchy couldn't fully delete the feminine because life can't exist without the womb. Instead, they placed her underneath as a foundation, which acknowledges she supports the structure, but will never be the one at the top.

So why does the patriarchy participate in child sacrifice? Is this to wound the feminine? I know this part of the conversation is heavy, but we have to have it to save the children. To understand, we need to look past the modern lens of murder and see how ancient systems viewed energy debt and the suppression of the matriarchal cycle.

While it may seem counterintuitive for a system obsessed with lineage to kill its own offspring, the act was often a calculated move to break the natural order and replace it with a legal or spiritual order controlled by men.


In the matriarchal or nature-based system, the strongest bond in existence is between the mother and the child. This is a horizontal bond of blood and biology. The intent of demanding the sacrifice of a child, the "Sky God" or State-System, forced the father to choose the law over nature. The wound is a psychological severing. If a man could sacrifice his child to a male deity like Moloch or Cronus, he is proving that his loyalty to the patriarchal hierarchy is stronger than his connection to the feminine womb. By claiming the right to sacrifice the child, the patriarchy asserted that the child was actually the property of the father or the state.

It is framed as a "holy debt." By returning the child to the fire or the god, the patriarchs were essentially saying: "We own the source of life now. The womb is just a vessel; the life belongs to the Sun|King|God."


Because the feminine represents the slow, natural cycle of growth, the logic behind the sacrifice was seen as a way to shortcut nature. Instead of waiting for the earth to provide a harvest through natural cycles, the sacrifice is a transaction. And because the feminine is the guardian of life and nurturing, child sacrifice is the ultimate anti-mother act. It creates a trauma bond to the patriarchal system; once the community has participated in something so horrific, they are bound to the new order because they can never return to the innocence of the old one.


The myth of Cronus (Saturn) eating his children is the perfect illustration of this. Patriarchal systems often have a "king of the hill" mentality. The greatest threat to the patriarchy is the next generation. The current power structure attempts to stop time and prevent the natural cycle of the son replacing the father or the return of the mother.


The psychological aftermath throughout history left a deep wound in the collective psyche. It redefined the "Mother" as someone who must fear the "Father's Law," the Sky-God. By removing the sacredness of the mother-child bond and replacing it with duty to the god-king, the patriarchy ensured that the feminine would always be underneath the heavy weight of the State's demand.


I know this seems unreal, but considering the Epstein files, it would seem that it is happening in this timeframe as well. All I can say is if I am having a nightmare, can someone please pinch me and wake me up?


The transformation from the Healer/ Midwife into Witch is one of the most successful branding shifts the patriarchy ever executed. It was a strategic move to dismantle the grassroots power of the feminine and replace it with centralized, male-dominated institutions, the church, the state, and eventually, the medical establishment. By changing the healer into a witch, the system didn't just change her name; they changed her social status from a "Source of Life" to a "Source of Evil."

The healer, the Wise Woman, held the keys to the kingdom because she understood the Orb/Circle, biology, and the natural world. She knew how to aid birth, but she also knew how to prevent it or end it. That was a problem for the patriarchy; if women could control their own fertility, the hierarchical system couldn't function. Men couldn't be certain of ownership over the next generation if women held secret knowledge of herbs and cycles.

The female healer operated through synthesis, Earth (herbs), the Moon (timing), and the Body (touch). This was the Orb in action. The witch label was used to centralize power; the church and the early medical schools, which were male-only, had to discredit the healer. They labeled her knowledge demonic or superstitious. If she healed someone, it was because she made a pact with the devil. This effectively moved her position of community leader to criminal.


One of the most common accusations during the witch trials was that witches stole unbaptized babies to use in rituals or to make flying ointment. The patriarchy framed the midwife as a baby-killer and successfully drove a wedge between the mothers and their healers. This forced women to turn away from each other and look up to male priests and male doctors for safety. Childbirth was moved from the circle of women in a home to the hospital hierarchy, where the woman was placed underneath the doctor, often literally lying flat on her back, a position that favors the doctor's view, not the mother's anatomy. Women were taught to fear their own bodies and their own Wise Women.


Here is where perimenopause and menopause become the pilgrimage for the Wise Women, and why this is important in saving the children.


In the framework of the star vs. orb and the suppression of the feminine, perimenopause and menopause represent the ultimate undisguising of the woman. If the patriarchy views a woman's value primarily as a vessel, then menopause is seen as a decline. But through the lens of the eight-pointed star of Venus, it is actually an initiation into sovereignty.

Here is how menopause serves as a reminder of the eight-pointed star. During the childbearing years, the orb energy is focused outward, nurturing others, sustaining the lineage, and maintaining the disguise of the passive mother.


As an initiation in perimenopause, the biological reset forces the energy back inward. The blood is no longershed for the potential of another; it is retained for the self. And the eight-pointed star moves you from the five-pointed star (the physical body/fertility) to the 8-pointed star ( the radiant, cosmic Wisdom). You're no longer just a point in a family tree; you become the center of your own compass. Venus has two phases: the Evening Star, gentle, beautiful, and social, and the Morning Star, fierce, bright, and herald of change.

Society prefers women in the Evening Star phase, agreeable and nurturing. The "hot flashes" and the surge of power in perimenopause are often the Morning Star rising. It is a burning away of the patriarchal expectations. The heat is plasma of the star reclaiming its true shape, melting the labels, mother, wife, employee, to reveal the Healer| Witch| Sovereign underneath.

In patriarchal systems, crowning happens at birth, and the child emerges. In the initiation of menopause, the woman crowns herself.


Woman Crowns Herself

In many ancient traditions, the Crone (the Crowned One) was the only person in the tribe allowed to speak the unfiltered truth. Menopause is the remembrance that your value was never about the fruit of the womb, but about the wisdom of the womb. You transition from the source of bodies to the source of culture, law, and healing. Do you now understand why I had the dream about the 8-pointed star hovering over my womb, whispering, "Remember who you are?"

Perimenopause is a chaotic re-shaping. You're moving away from a life of doing to a life of being. The 8-pointed star represents a woman who is fully integrated. She knows the dark, the blood, the earth, the witch, and the light, the spirit, the star, the healer. She is no longer underneath the male hierarchy because she has become her own North Star.

The reason modern culture makes menopause feel like a medical crisis is that a sovereign woman is a threat to the hierarchy. A woman who no longer cares about being pleasing and has transitioned into her truth-telling cannot be easily controlled.

The obsession with anti-aging is the primary tool used to disrupt the 8-pointed star initiation. By framing a spiritual transformation as a medical decline or an aesthetic disaster, the system ensures that women are too busy mourning their youthfulness to claim their sovereign wisdom.

The beauty industry, which was historically built and funded by patriarchal corporate structures, sells the Maiden archetype as the only valid version of womanhood.

The programming that a woman's power lies in her ability to attract the male gaze keeps her in a loop of feeling unworthy. Women become so focused on the imperfections of wrinkles, grey hair, and weight gain that they spend years rejecting the initiation of the Wise Woman, trying to look younger. Hot flashes come with the rage for truth, but the medical establishment often medicates and silences the fire.


I am not saying that women should suffer. But during menopause, I learned how to listen to my body and spirit. I went within and asked my higher self what she needed from me. The discomfort motivated me to focus on myself, ask for what I needed, and not tolerate the bullshit anymore. I personally believe that if I hadn't decided to listen to the calling and medicated with hormone replacement to snuff out my fire, I wouldn't be where I am today spiritually. I also understand that every woman's threshold is different, even in childbirth and postpartum. I chose to supplement with herbal remedies vs. pharmaceuticals, but every woman needs to listen to her body and not the advice from other women and what worked for them. You can still do the inner work without losing your mind. 😂


Getting back to the children. I believe missing the initiation is perhaps the greatest tragedy of our family lineage, as it leaves our children without the wise, fierce leadership of the women and a strong sense of their roots. Women who don't know their value raise children who don't believe in their worth, and grow into young adults who search the world for something external to make them feel whole and seen. That is where the imbalance of the cyclical nature occurred. The patriarchy removed the Orb from the cycle of life for a hierarchical phallus Sky-God who punishes his children for sin, and sacrifices the innocent for male dominance power.


Which brings me back full circle on how the universe taught me to find my magic, so that I could create a system that I used and inspire women to remember their magic and live a life that feels enchanting, and empowered to save the children.

What if chaos were manufactured from the removal of the Cosmic Mother?


This question can seem like some absurd sci-fi philosophical mumbo-jumbo, but for a moment, can you read this with an open mind?


The Great Mother, in theory, is the creator. The flow of feminine and masculine energy creates the Universal Law of order. Everything is divinely orchestrated like a well-planned-out system, as above, so below. There was an interruption in the flow; the hijack came in the form of a hierarchical patriarchal system, called religion, and the birth of chaos began.


In theory, the universe is a womb. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin argues that the cosmos is a nurturing, intelligent, and evolving space designed to bring forth higher consciousness or spiritual birth. This suggests that perhaps humanity is in a gestational phase, preparing for a greater existence.


Earth is another planet in the solar system, where humanity is stationed to observe and remember its wholeness. Without the remembrance of the Great Mother, humanity remains asleep, worshipping a false system that begins with The Father.


The metaphor "universe is a womb" would include:


Gestational Evolution, which suggests that the universe is not dead matter but a nurturing, evolving environment made from simple elements to complex life and self-awareness.


Spiritual Birth argues that the physical universe is a womb that protects and prepares humanity for the future and a more advanced reality.


The "Cosmic Mother" from this perspective is an intelligent, active force that fosters life just like a woman's womb.


The concept of the Nested Wombs extends from the cosmic level down to Earth, ecosystems, and the womb of a woman.


The Great Mother as an archetype is the primordial, nurturing force often equated with the universe itself. Within this context, the "Chosen One" shifts from a simple title to a deeper, relational responsibility.


So, what does being a Chosen One from the Great Mother encompass?


Divine Awareness and Response: It is often described as a "spiritual knowing" where an individual responds to the Great Mother's call. Rather than a singular person being superior, the title is an invitation for anyone who listens to her voice and aligns with her will.


The Mission of Service often feels like a profound responsibility toward a higher calling to help humanity's collective evolution.


Gestational Testing is when the chosen undergo spiritual growth through intense trials. These challenges are viewed as the "labor pains" required to birth a higher state of consciousness.


Co-Creative Participation, unlike patriarchal models where choice may feel like a command, the Great Mother invites co-creative participation. You are chosen because you "choose yourself" by staying near the divine source and acting with compassion and wisdom.


Let's explore how this maternal archetype differs from the traditional hero's journey often found in patriarchal myths.


The Hero's Journey focuses on an individual separating from society to conquer external monsters. The Heroine's Journey centers on connection, inner growth, and the cyclical nature of life. The Hero goes "up and out" to achieve external goals, gain status, or defeat a physical villain. The Heroine goes "down and in" to soul search, healing the wounded feminine and reclaiming internal wholeness. The Hero finds power in separation by leaving the mother and home to prove autonomy and conquer the shadow. The Heroine finds power in relationships and community. Success is measured by the ability to nurture and contribute to the happiness of others. And the nature of the conflict for the Hero is to battle the monsters that must be destroyed, whereas the Heroine's goal is not to kill the monster but to integrate the shadow and reconcile with the cycle of life and death. The outcome is that the Hero returns as a master of the two worlds, often bringing a prize back to society. But the Heroine returns with a new sense of self, having integrated both masculine and feminine values to become a "complete being" in charge of her own life.


When you view the universe as a womb, your personal trials stop being "bad luck" and start being contractions. These "labor pains" of the soul are designed to push you out of a restrictive environment into a more expansive reality.


Here is how your personal trials reflect the Cosmic Mother's transformative process:


The Pressure of the Void. Just before birth, the womb becomes cramped and uncomfortable. In life, this manifests as a feeling of stagnation or stuckness. This discomfort is the Cosmic Mother's way of signaling that you have outgrown your current container, and it is time to move.


The Dissolution of Identity. To be "born" into a new phase, your old self-image must dissolve. This often feels like a crisis of identity or a "dark night of the soul." From the perspective of the Great Mother/ Cosmic Mother, this is the shedding of the placenta, letting go of what once nourished you but now holds you back.


The Trial of Darkness. Birth involves a journey through a dark tunnel where you cannot see the destination. Your trials require radical trust in the process. When you face uncertainty and fear, you are practicing the "spiritual surrender" necessary to emerge into the light of higher consciousness.


The Transition ( The Hardest Part). In physical labor, "transition" is the most intense phase just before birth. In your life, your hardest trials usually occur right before a massive breakthrough. The Cosmic Mother uses these moments to test your alignment and ensure you are ready for the responsibility of your "new world."


The feeling of pressure is the most direct sign that your current "womb," be it a job, lifestyle, or mindset, has become too small for the person you are becoming.

As you navigate this transition, look for these specific "labor signs" that indicate you are in a breakthrough, not a breakdown:


The Loss of "Flavor." You may find that activities, goals, or social circles that once fueled you feel empty. This isn't depression, it is your soul redifining who you truly are, rather than societal expectations.


Physical and Emotional Purging. You may feel extremely fatigued, have vivid dreams, or be sensitive to noise and chaos. That is your body adjusting to a new chapter.


The In-Between (Liminal) Space. Like a baby in the birth canal, you may feel suspended between your old and unknown future. This sense of feeling like you're in a fog is where the most profound internal alignment occurs.


Radical Surrender. The letting go of control. Stop fighting the contractions and start breathing into the trust of timing.


I have discovered that women resonate with this cyclical nature as they go through menopause and enter their Second Saturn Return and Chiron Return as the initiation into becoming the Wise Woman.
