The Mirror: Inspiration & Purpose

Wow, what a whirlwind month it's been for this fiery Aries! If you're not fluent in astro-speak, don't worry—I'll break it down for you. Just a month ago, I hit the big 4-0, and let me tell you, the lead-up was a deep dive into self-reflection. In astro lingo, my Sun sits in my 10th house, signaling that my life's journey revolves around my career and purpose. So, as the Sun rolled back around to Aries (aka, my birthday), it triggered the annual existential crisis. 

 

This time felt different, though. I'd given myself permission to step back from teaching for the past year, and that decision sparked some serious soul-searching. I grappled with fears of losing touch with my calling and wondered if I was still aligned with my purpose. Truth be told, inspiration seemed to be on vacation, leaving me without that electric jolt of creativity. Sure, I got guidance from my inner compass, but the green light to dive headfirst into creation? Nope, not yet. 

 

Patience isn't exactly my strong suit, but I've come a long way from the days of feeling chained to obligation and the relentless pursuit of motivation. This hiatus from teaching forced me to confront those nagging "shoulds" and "have tos" head-on. Instead of forcing the issue, I've learned to wait for inspiration to whisper through my bones. If an idea doesn't set my soul on fire, I hit pause and keep waiting. 

 

Now, following inspiration sounds dreamy, but let me tell you, it's not all rainbows and butterflies. I've had to face some dark corners of my mind, wrestling with doubt and negative self-talk. But leaning into surrender has been my saving grace, a reminder that even in stillness, I'm in perfect alignment with my purpose. After all, tending to the mundane—our homes, bodies, and relationships—is just as crucial as chasing our dreams. 

 

The recent solar eclipse was a wake-up call, prompting me to reassess my habits and recommit to my spiritual path. I've recommitted to myself, vowing to peel away another layer of old wounds and embrace the truth that I'm always living my purpose. But, my reflection and introspection didn't end there.

 

On April 23rd, under the Full Moon in Scorpio, I had a significant moment of reflection. It was a time where I had to confront how I've defined myself. I realized that many aspects of my identity, shaped by my spiritual practices and experiences, had reached a culmination. I had to accept that a significant phase in my life had ended, and it was time to let go of my old self to make space for something new. This process of letting go felt essential for me to embrace what's to come. 

 

So, what's next? The universe has laid out some clear directives: 

  • Dive deeper into healing old wounds around identity and societal conditioning. 

  • Embrace the truth that I'm already living my purpose, every single day. 

  • Expand my horizons and welcome new modalities and experiences with open arms. 

 

I'm buzzing with newfound energy and clarity, and I can't wait to share what's next on this journey. But for now, I'll leave you with some food for thought: 

  • What's your relationship with purpose? 

  • Do you know the difference between feeling inspired and being motivated? 

  • Are your choices rooted in fear or love? 

  • What kind of life do you want to create: one of obligation or one of connection?   

Until next time, keep questioning, keep exploring, and keep following that spark of inspiration.
