Inquiry Questions
Take some time to drop in, deepen into the quiet of your unfolding soul, and explore what is here now in your awareness, rising as the Evening Star.
Radiant Queen, what do you still believe you lack, that will make you worthy enough?
Courageous One, what do you value within yourself? What will it take for you to fully embrace valuing this part of self, even if no one else sees it or appreciates it?
Radiant Queen, what do you value about being real?
Courageous one, what does it feel like to embody and experience yourself as Value itself?
Metamorphosis
Radiant Queen, who has journeyed the path of Radiant Self-Love, embodying the Freedom to be yourself, who are you now? At the end of this cycle, this journey of reclaiming more of your own soul’s Essence, who are you now?
We cycle, over and over, knowing that in my beginning is my ending and in my ending is my beginning.
In this period of retrograde, we pause, not jumping into the next journey before fully integrating this journey. Pause, savor, integrate. Allow the reclaiming of Self, of Essence, to fully permeate your cells, forever altering the knowing of who you are.
Go back to the beginning and remember.
Who were you then?
What have you experienced these past 20 months?
How has life challenged you?
What has been revealed to you?
What have you embodied more fully because of this journey?
Leo asks: “What is the nature of my divinity and how can I show up as a radiant Divine Being, inspiring others?”
Gemini asks: “How many varieties of Freedom are there?”
Radiant Queen, who are you now?
Ending Well
As we begin to step into a new cycle, a new archetype, a new journey of reclaiming Essence, what needs to be released in order to begin empty?
So many times we have goals, intentions, plans, unfinished business, that simply lingers and nags and itches in its unfinished state. Where do you need to let go of what did not happen, or what happened in a way you didn’t intend?
Rather than trying to “do better,” what is needed to look back over what happened this past cycle and let it be enough, perfect in its imperfections?
Take some time in ritual space to clear out, let go, release, empty. Sit in the sacred pause and savor completion of this cycle.
