🦋🏹❤️‍🔥MANIFESTATION PORTAL ~ BLUE MOON IN SAGITTARIUS EDITION 🦋🏹❤️‍🔥

This Blue Moon in Sagittarius is made for manifesting! I know the energy last week was intense, very Scorpionic but after Scorpio and Pluto comes Sagittarius and Jupiter which is a breath of fresh air - it is the phoenix rising from the ashes (Scorpio) and taking flight (Sagittarius) 🐦‍🔥

Blue Moon's as we know are rare, they represent a window of opportunity, they call us to take action on our deepest dreams and desires. They are beautiful for manifesting. Usually a full moon isn't great for manifesting but this one is a gift from the universe!

Jupiter rules fortune, abundance, dreams and expansion. Jupiter calls us back to our hearts, the portal of abundance and manifestation that is literally built into us. The more we can be connected to our hearts and keep an open heart, the more magick enters our life and will continue to do so. Jupiter is my favourite planet hence why I have the glyph tattooed on my chest ✨✨✨

Sagittarius is the philosopher of the zodiac. It is half human half horse. It rules the thighs. It's all about movement as medicine. Keep moving forward no matter how heavy you feel, just take the next step because the next step can change the entire trajectory of your life.
Sagittarius is about higher learning, expanding our consciousness, taking leaps of faith, following the path less traveled, letting go of what is safe and familiar and surrendering to the flow of the divine ♐️

My second house is ruled by Sagittarius and my Mercury is in the ninth house so this full moon has been lighting up my mind (Mercury) with my next one way ticket to Asia (Sagittarius) and my finances (second house) with abundance (Jupiter) and I am claiming it with my whole heart. Thank you, thank you, thank you Spirit, angels, Mother Earth, my own mother, my Grampa, my beautiful family, I am so eternally grateful and blessed to be here with you all in this life 🙏🏼

This is a time to action your manifestations and hold your vision 🏹

You are exactly where you're supposed to be.
You are exactly who you're supposed to be and there is literally nothing about you that isn't beautiful just as it is.

It's easy to get lost in comparison, increasingly so these days with the influx of social media and access to the lives of millions of people we don't know, but we were never designed to know millions of people.
We are built for tribes, community, close authentic connection, in our hearts we know we are tribal people. We are supposed to find our tribe and stay connected to them and we will find within our tribe that we all have our own unique roles. We balance each other out. Because we aren't supposed to do life alone.

We can learn so much from the trees and the ecosystems of the Earth - we are nature living and breathing in human form, we just tend to forget from time to time. So let this be your reminder, you are beautifully YOU and we need YOU just as YOU are flaws and all 🦋

All is LOVE 💜💙🩵

I used to struggle with this sooo much 😵‍💫

During my big burnt out in 2022, I was studying to become an English teacher whilst also working three jobs and managing chronic illness and undiagnosed ADHD, which at the time I had no idea I had, despite my boyfriend at the time telling me you have ADHD, (because we both clearly did), we were like two dogs constantly having the zoomies when we were together, or we were non verbal aliens napping. 😆

Anyway, I was trying to lesson plan for class but no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't do it, the words weren't coming, my brain wasn't working, and the more I tried to make it happen, the less happened of course. It's funny now with hindsight but at the time I was literally having a mental breakdown, getting absolutely raging at myself for not being able to just focus and get the work done. I was so frustrated and would be so hard on myself and it would always lead to a meltdown staring at my laptop screen and wondering how everyone else on this course is working full time, some have kids and are still managing to keep up with course work without breaking a sweat, meanwhile I am in full Bubbles mode from Powerpuff Girls IYKYK🥲

Back then I had little knowledge of neurodivergence or the nervous system, and how much being neurodivergent impacts the body and nervous system in huge ways that don't typically affect neurotypical people.

When I started to learn about ADHD and the nervous system, my life started making sense. I realised I am not lazy or unable, I just need a pace that works for me and I will thrive.

It's devastating how little awareness of support there is for neurodivergent people in the work place or education systems. Although there is more awareness now, unfortunately ND people usually aren't offered roles or jobs that support their individual needs and allow them to do the job, just not in the way neurotypical or able bodied people are expected to do it. This is something I pray changes with time because disabled people deserve opportunities that genuinely support them and allow them to work.

The current energies are weird so if you feel like you’re losing your heed don’t worry you’re not the only one, we are all very much in this mind field of navigating life in the modern world together. This week just feels extra foreign. I feel a lot of people are getting lost in comparison this week or the grass is greener kind of thinking. Gemini season is also giving us all louder mind chatter. Don’t listen to all of the thoughts, some are utter sh*te and you know it 💁🏼

Mars is square Pluto so they are basically square going each other (Scots will get this, others won’t 😂)

This feels like inner conflict, like not being able to choose which path to follow, being very self critical, feeling like you’ve wasted time, or that nothing is changing but don’t give into the illusions of Mars, don’t let the headstrong hyper independent energy trick you into believing you are a failure or that you’re not enough just as you are! Mars always wants to be moving fast with quick results.

Mix that with the need to transform and evolve into a better version of self (Pluto), and you have a concoction for a pretty potent self loathing cocktail this week.

This week slows us down physically so we can catch up spiritually.

We also have a Blue Moon in Sagittarius approaching - Sunday 31st May. Blue Moons are rare because they signify a second full moon in one month. We started the month with a full moon in Scorpio the Scorpion - the shedding of old skin and we are ending it with a full moon in Sagittarius the Archer 🏹

This is actually a rare opportunity where a full moon can be used for manifestation. Sagittarius rules philosophy, long distance travel, relocation, higher learning, spiritual advancement, it wants to expand, explore, learn, take big leaps of faith and not worry too much about where it lands, it’s here for the journey. Jupiter rules Sagittarius, this week is asking you to put intention, planning and action into your dreams and believing that your dream life is POSSIBLE!

Not only is it possible, but it’s waiting for you. Your higher self is already in the timeline you have been daydreaming about. Our physical bodies just need some time to catch up!💘

We are always learning. Beginners mind. We aren't supposed to know it all because what would be the point in that? Then there would be no mystery, no journey, no wonder or trust or surrender 🌀

Let the waves of life wash over you and listen to their messages 🌊

In 2020 I had my spiritual awakening, I wonder what caused that!?👁️🤣

When the whole world is in deep fear and psychosis, but you see through the illusion, you begin to awaken to a myriad of other distortions that have been playing out in our realm for thousands of years, and wonder if perhaps there is more that we are being lied to about.

It was in 2020 when I started to develop my spiritual practices and peel back the veil of illusion. I went deep down the conspiracy rabbit hole, I also started exploring the world of psychedelics, sacred geometry, moving back to rural east coast Scotland meant I deepened my connection with nature and spent most of my time outdoors by myself, if you want to know yourself - spend time alone in nature, she will show you who you really are. 2020 was also the year that I birthed Zen Jen - the name of my lil business before it grew into The Resting Witch and all that I am and offer today 🪬

At that time I was deeply invested in witchcraft, I did a lot of reading, research and spell work. Every new and full moon I would be spell casting of some sort or just celebrating the moon and or a diety whom I had been working with. One of the spells I did which I knew would take time but also didn't realise it would begin to manifest quickly simultaneously was - I asked the universe to make me psychic. I wanted to be able to see what was really going on in both the seen and unseen realms of our universe. I prayed and prayed staring at the sun during the day and the moon at night. I made a sigil and kept it and my spell jar on my window sill for months if not years until I realised the spell was working.

Activating your psychic gifts is never what you think it's going to be. It's never as simple as that. Back then I was a baby witch, and my ego was big, I wanted to be psychic so I could know things and not be manipulated by the systems that were, but I would soon be shown that activating your sensitivity comes with a sacrifice, like all spellwork. I sacrificed my old life, a life of ignorant bliss, of seeing magick as something that's cool and interesting to actually activating the truth of magick and who we are 🌙

Feeling a bit bleaaughh today? Bit unmotivated, couch potato vibes.

Me too. It's okay it's the medicine of the Cancer moon inviting us into a deeper state of resting and receiving. ♋️🌝 which is beautiful after a Ta**us new moon which sparked some new seeds and intentions but also made us aware of all the change that has transpired in our personal lives over the last year.

Moon conjunct Venus and Jupiter = dreamy energy, nostalgia, dreams of your future, downloads and insights into your dream life and how that may manifest over the next year.

Cancer rules our home, the feminine, our wombs, bellies and b***s, so bathing, massaging or just adorning yourself is very much attuned to this lovely Cancerian energy 🙂‍↔️🌙
