New Year, New You…But Really?
Welcome to the Mystical Intelligence blog about renewal + Broom ritual!
But first, let me share a story…
A dusty notebook with pages heavy with written notes clings against the black, sturdy metal bookcase. It hopes to be reopened...rediscovered. I open to a page number blurred by the years. Finding a story orated to me about Osiris. He is a symbol of death, rebirth, and resurrection. The Ouroboros, its tail succumbs to biting fangs. Coming full circle. The process of resurrection rest against my bosom. I turn my face up to the sunrise knowing new beginnings lay ahead.
A new year, a new you? Yes, really!
As 2022 completes its cycle in a few days. Close your eyes for a moment. Begin to imagine 2023 in color or shape. What's the first thing that comes to mind? Take a deep breath as it appears now. How will this color or shape play a part in your life in 23'? Dive deeper by journaling, or relaxing about what came up for you.
Broom Ritual - Sharing a personal practice!
It is said the home is a reflection of the body and mind. I believe this to be true! Have you ever noticed when 'spring cleaning' or decluttering the atmosphere feels lighter as if a weight has been lifted? Or, feeling more at ease knowing your home is spacious? Clearing the home is a great way to build a strong foundation where desires and goals blossom.
In preparation for 23' grab a broom, (if you have a Swiffer or mop that counts too!) starting from the back of your home and going counterclockwise, sweep as you recite the following:
All bad out... Todo lo malo para fuera
All good in... Todo lo bueno para dentro
When you're ready dispose of all the dust and junk! See all negative energy become smaller. So small it dissipates as you throw it away. When you're ready take a deep breath. See yourself let go. Now, think of the color or shape you received for 2023. Breathe in and out as your home is clear now. May this ritual bring renewal into your life.
Feel free to recite as many times as you like.
Thank you for reading.
Crystals for Your Sun + Rising Signs
Welcome to the Mystical Intelligence blog topic ~ Crystals for Your Sun + Rising Signs.
It’s Libra season! There is a New Moon in Libra, which means the sun and moon sit next to each other. During the New Moon phase, we can begin anew and start fresh even if the cycle we're coming out of is dark.
Mercury the planet of communication, and learning is in Virgo the sign -the worker bee- but stationed retrograde until October 4th (approximately depending on location). These astrological influences and energies bring great times of respite to think and plan the new journey we are about to embark on this moon cycle.
To welcome the Libra season and all other energies, I’ll like to share a tiny crystal guide for your sun and rising sign. The crystals are suggestions for amplification, body, and healing. The guide is a mix of my crystal and astrology knowledge + intuition.
First, let me define the sun + rising sign for those who are new or just starting Astrology. The moment we are born stars, planets, and asteroids align in a certain way in the sky. We have the Sun Sign (Birthday), which is our essence, where we shine the most, what we came to do and how we navigate the world. The Rising Sign (Asc or Ascendent) is where the sun was rising at the moment of birth in the East. The rising sign plays a significant role in how we live out the sun sign. Think of the Sun as the car and the rising sign as the driver.
In the following, look for your Sun sign first. Proceed to look up your rising sign. Lastly, body placements are in the video provided below. Each zodiac sign has a corresponding body part.
If you are unfamiliar with your sun or rising sign, consider booking an Astrology consultation with me to explore your birth chart.
