navigating the Cosmic

with Astrologer & Medium Bess Strzelecki

"Intuition is a funny thing, we all have it but. . .

sometimes, when we are smack in the middle of life, it's hard to know where the optimal paths are. I find this to be true for the seemingly small day-to-day decisions as well as the game-changing ones. That is where a spiritual toolkit can come in handy. What I love most about these universal tools is that they are living systems that connect purely to Universal Energy and are completely interconnected, accessible, and inclusive to everyone"

"Astrologer Bess is an intuitive in reading my birth chart. Her reading helped me understand my past lives, my gifts and my soul’s evolutionary journey." - LeAnn

LUNAR ECLIPSE @ 23° VIRGO 2:59 AM EST

Lunar eclipses are full moon eclipses- when the energies reach a pitch that can no longer be sustained, a pivot point of sorts for many, when tensions have to be released.

Virgo rules our health, wellness, our daily work, habits, routines, and our mental consumption, which can all be highlighted here. (The domain and intensity will be reflected in our natal charts)

The mantra for eclipses is: Surrender.

The cure for whatever ails us at this time also found in Virgo: establishing a deeper connection to nature, downtime with our pets, mindfulness, getting grounded, acts of service, connecting to our right work, that which feels meaningful to us on a soul level, etc.

This eclipse kicks off a cycle that will close out with a New Moon Eclipse in Virgo on 9.22.2025. Whatever groundwork we lay now will determine the fruits of our labors during the harvest in September.

Breathe. Let go. Trust.

Good luck out there. Upward. Onward. ♥️

Inspired by @__candicewebster__. I decided to test it out myself, and tried energy healing with the help of my herd of horses. I am still in awe of and deeply humbled by the results.

It's known that interacting with horses has therapeutic benefits for humans, including: reducing stress, improving emotional well-being, even treating anxiety and PTSD.

What I was surprised to experience, is that having the horses in the session created a response in the energetic field.

As Pete described it, "It's like if when you close your eyes and you receive Reiki you can perceive the healing colors and feel the heat of the energy in front of you, but when the horses are there it gets amplified around you-encompassing you entirely. It's like listening to music in stereo vs. mono. It's so relaxing. I felt amazing afterwards- I feel lighter."

Thank you, @iampeter9000. ❤️

NEW MOON IN VIRGO
September 2 9:55 PM EST

The current Neptune/Mars square can leave us feeling unsure of what we want and how to get there (Big Picture). The Jupiter/Saturn square can lead us to feel unsure of what we believe about the current structure of our lives.

Uranus went retrograde in Taurus a few days prior, so there is a shift in perspective happening in how we can free ourselves from burdens associated with how we’ve structured our lives and livelihoods (self-imposed or otherwise).

Mercury (the ruler of this New Moon) is coming out of retrograde and starting to pick up the pace again. We can gain traction with how to move the ball forward focusing on the micro not the macro, just by starting to streamline our day to day, our processes, and efficiencies.

Virgo New Moons remind us, as the saying goes to just make the bed, then clean our room. Essentially, analyze and organize what’s directly in front of us and work outward from there. We can tackle the bigger picture issues as we go. Clarity will come in due course. We are entering the eclipse portal now with the next eclipse occurring on September 18th, and the energy of bigger change will abound!

Good luck out there 🌙 Upward. Onward. 💫

FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN
June 21, 2024 @ 9:07 PM EST

Capricorn rules our maturation, societal and parental conditioning, limitations, and the sense of “should and should nots” that affect and shape us.

These expectations, when not challenged, can lead us onto a path where we inevitably end up pushing ourselves too hard trying to be better, do more, be more, shouldering a burden that isn’t ours.

With the moon squaring Neptune on this Solstice, we have an opportunity here to realign our expectations of ourselves and ensure we are fulfilling our own dreams and our highest purpose.

What would it feel like to not worry ourselves about what others thought of the choices we make in pursuit of these dreams? Or if we were able to easily release old ways of being and imprinted patterns (or people, places, things, ideas) that maybe served us for a time, but are not supportive to our mission now?

It’s time to lighten the load so that we can reach new heights, particularly spiritually and energetically. There is a deeper peace waiting.

Good luck out there ❤️
Upward. Onward. 💫

NEW MOON IN GEMINI
June 6 8:37 AM EST

This New Moon is conjunct Venus with the ruler Mercury conjunct Jupiter all in the sign of Gemini which involves communication, short travels, books, conversations, those we have a close kinship with, etc.

This is a beautiful New Moon for acknowledging and fostering positive connections, increasing your sense of personal power and drumming up new connections if desired.

The saying, ''Those you keep in your inner circle tells more about you than you could tell about yourself'' is relevant with this New Moon. It is a great time to invest in or seek out those who we generate meaningful conversations with, who make us laugh and keep us young at heart, and who have our best interests in mind. If lacking, both benefics in Gemini will boost manifestations in this area.

This New Moon trines the South Node and the ruler trines Pluto, so we can take notice of those that karmically cross our paths and begin to understand why and how we benefit from them.

Rituals involving speech, singing, air, and writing are best at this time- A powerful New Moon to record mantras, affirmations and meditations.

Good Luck out there. Upward. Onward. 💫

FULL MOON IN SAGITTARIUS
May 23 9:53 AM EST

This moon is sextile Pluto and it’s ruler, Jupiter, is conjunct Venus in Taurus.

The message for this Full Moon is that we are at a check in point on the path we are forging. The potentiality of a new beginning or building our biggest and most beautiful life yet is still at hand (with the recent abundance of planets in Taurus). Sagittarius rules our vision, our passion, our beliefs and the Moon trining Neptune is asking us to see how we are navigating the path ahead more clearly.

Are we living in a way that makes us feel vibrant, alive, optimistic, engaged and present? Do our insides match how it appears on our outsides?

We each have gifts and a quality of Spirit we have brought into this life to share in this sliver of space and time that we are given. Are we delighted to be living the way we are living, are we glad to be building what we are building? Not for the accolades, or for the bolstering of our resumes, or because it feels good to be seen by others in a certain way, but because it genuinely fills us with light.

We can use this full moon to re-assess, re-engage, refill our cups with a zest for this life, so that we can shine brighter and the path ahead becomes clearer.

Good luck out there. Upward. Onward.💫

NEW MOON IN TAURUS
May 7, 2024 @ 11:21 PM EST

We have one of the most beautiful new moons of the year today in Taurus. It's ruler, Venus, is there with the Sun, Moon, Uranus and Jupiter packing a huge punch to help us manifest in May.

We are rising up from the energies of the Full Moon in Scorpio two weeks ago. Scorpio takes us to the underworld and has us face our fears and release whatever is holding us back.

In alignment with the cycles of nature, we had three dead animals appear on the farm the day of the Scorpio Full Moon including one of the most beautiful herons I have ever seen which was absolutely heart wrenching, but prompted beautiful Scorpionic contemplations about the spiritual- death, endings, magic etc.

The Homer quote, "Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now." reflects this New Moon.

Essentially, the Scorpio Full moon said, "None of us are making it out of here alive, and ultimately there is nothing to fear" and this Venusian New Moon says, “So lets make life more beautiful and enjoy it while we are here.”

New Moons are about planting seeds. In Taurus, we manifest the lovely things we want to surround ourselves with in the physical world to make our lives a little sweeter and ask ourselves:

⭐ Is our environment pleasing?
⭐ Where can we draw in more loving relationships?
⭐ How can we feel more valued?
⭐What do we need to surround ourselves with to feel good?
⭐ Are we nurturing our Souls with enough art: songs, poetry, dance?
⭐How can we luxuriate more in the now of our life?

Designing your ritual practice in these areas will be incredibly powerful right now.

Good luck out there. Upward. Onward.💫

FULL MOON IN SCORPIO
April 23 7:48 PM

Something has to give.

The Eclipses in March and April were making room for something better, the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction asked us to think bigger, and now this Scorpio Moon closes the portal by showing us what we need to let go of in order to move forward in a better way.

With this moon squaring its ruler, Pluto, the message that keeps coming through is, "When we are dreaming bigger and manifesting more for a larger life, we cannot keep holding onto or fighting for a smaller life to stay".

Scorpio rules transformation and full moons highlight the critical pain points- creating enough stress and tension, to the point that something has to give.

So, relax, release and let go in order to move forward unburdened with more room for better things to come.

Upward. Onward. Good luck out there. 💫

CELESTIAL OPPORTUNITY TO MANIFEST

Jupiter meets Uranus today in the sensual earth sign of Taurus. Jupiter brings abundance and Uranus brings about future potential and exciting change in the sign that rules our self-worth, wealth, beauty, and earthly pleasures.

Dream big and throw your wishes out to the universe today- whatever feels good. Rituals that have a Venusian flavor (pleasing to the senses) work best today. The portal is open. Have fun 🙌

If you know where this conjunction falls in your chart you can specify in that area for added effect ⭐️

Good luck out there. Upward. Onward 💫

ENERGETIC UPDATES - POST ECLIPSE pt2

We are 10 days post the eclipse and 5 days building up towards the full moon in Scorpio. It’s an intense time- particularly to those who are sensitive to the collective energetics.

It’s not unusual to feel particularly itchy about living up to our highest potential and focusing on “what is thing” that will get us there.

It’s also common to feel burned out and not having our usual coping mechanisms work at the moment- that extra hour of sleep might not leave us feeling rested or that cup of coffee doesn’t hit the same way.

We can find ourselves contemplating our mortality or the mortality of those we love. This is cosmically by design to get us to reassess where we are at and propel us forward in more meaningful ways.

FWIW here’s a reminder to be gentle with ourselves while we are riding the waves. Jupiter pulls ahead of Uranus on the 20th, the full moon is on the 23rd and Mercury goes direct on the 25th, so some relief is on the way.

In the meantime, good luck out there. Upward. Onward. 💫♥️

ECLIPSE QUESTIONS

The question I am getting most is, "If eclipses are about endings, should I be worried? Should I be waiting for the other shoe to drop?"

Not to worry. Yes eclipses can be times of intense endings-when we get a nudge from the universe and things get eclipsed from our life for our greater good (a job, a relationship, etc.). The teaching here is trust the timing of this, and the new paths that open up.

Depending on where this eclipse hits in your chart, many of us can and will feel really energized by this eclipse or we can be feeling it on subtler levels.

With Mercury retrograde, we can be revisiting old plans, reconnecting with old friends, re-charting a course of action.

With the eclipse conjunct Chiron, it is a perfect time to release past patterns, past woundings, outdated versions of ourselves, and remake our way in the world bolder and less burdened than ever.

It's a time when the veil between the worlds feels thin, its a powerful portal of sorts, and our ancestors, spirit guides, departed loved ones are more accessible to us to lend support and help.

Aries is fire-we can become more determined and energized and invigorated in our lives and on our path, so use it or lose it- be bold, be brave 🔥

Upward. Onward. Good luck out there💫

NEW MOON ECLIPSE IN ARIES
April 8 2024 @2:20PM EST

This Eclipse takes place in the sign of Aries conjunct Chiron (the wounded healer) alongside a retrograde Mercury.

We see the effects of eclipses on the earth externally (through earthquakes, civil unrest, military movements, etc.), but the real job here is an internal one.

There is an energetic portal created today- a liminal space of pure potentiality. We are dealing with cycles of birth and death, creation and destruction, and letting go of the old to create room for the new.

With the ruler, Mars being in Pisces, we can use the energies of this eclipse to reflect on where our Mars has been co-opted. Where we lean towards escapism, suppress our wounds, or avoid what we need to be facing head on like the Ram.

Good Luck out there. Upward and Onward. 🌙

MERCURY RETROGRADE
Mercury goes retrograde in Aries April 1- April 25.

It’s the perfect time to pause and revisit, rethink, replan to ensure smoother sailing once the energies open up again in May.

We are smack dab in between eclipses and the sands can feel like they are shifting beneath our feet, so we can use the reminder Mercury is granting us here to slow down as an opportunity to remain patient and wait for the energies to settle.

Questions to be asking ourselves: What can we be doing in order to build up more life force energy in the meantime? What area of our life do we need to reenergize?

The remedy is likely putting Aries energy to good use: More exercise? More passion? More recharging? More bravery? More going with our gut?

We can use this time to have a think and play around in the Aries space to see what shifts.

Good luck out there- onward and upward 💫

FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE IN LIBRA
March 25th 3:00 AM EST

This Lunar Eclipse is all about New Beginnings in our one-on-one relationships with others.

Relationship drama can be at the forefront- what's working? what's not? What unhealthy patterns are coming to the surface to be analyzed, addressed and changed? Where have we lost ourselves or stopped taking care of/having responsibility for ourselves in our relations? There is an opportunity for establishing harmony and forging new paths ahead here.

The ruler (Venus) is conjunct Saturn which rules boundaries. So we can be asking ourselves where loving boundaries are necessary or we need to make a clean break or conversely, what boundaries have we established in relationships that are no longer serving us or leaving little room for love to be expressed and received. Maybe we took some space so that each party could take some time to soul seek and grow, and maybe it's time to come back around and try a new way of relating.

This eclipse is trining Pluto and with Venus conjunct Saturn (which rules the boundaries of our consciousness) in Pisces (which rules the totality of consciousness). Meaning that, we may be asked to adjust how we relate to Spirit and how we interact with the Highest. Are we playing it small and afraid of the light, our intuition, our gifts, our highest potential? Or are we trusting and consciously working with Spirit towards our highest good and calling in the help that we need?

Where this eclipse occurs in your chart (and how it relates to your natal planets) will be how it manifests for you (feel free to DM me if you need help with that). We can expect the energies to be in play for the next 2-4 weeks.

Good luck out there. Upward and Onward!💫

NEW MOON IN PISCES
Sunday March 10 @ 5:00 AM EST

Pisces is the sign that is comprised of all other signs that come before it- watery in nature, it's where dreams come from, and where we can easily access the divine.

Pisces' ruler, Neptune, is conjunct this New Moon giving it a heavenly boost of the magical and the mystical.

What makes this New Moon special is that we have Saturn in Pisces in a wide conjunction as well (we haven't had this occur since 1995), which can help us concretize our hopes, wishes and our dreams.

Saturn is the focal planet of a kite aspect here with Ceres, Jupiter and Juno as the tail. The earth trine (with Ceres, Jupiter, and Juno) reminds us that sometimes nourishing and nurturing ourselves takes form through hard work. Jupiter in Taurus can bring monetary abundance with effort, and Juno in Virgo can provide the necessary help from others if we are willing to reach out and ask for it.

Around this New Moon is the perfect time to dream a little dream and implore a little ritual to manifest our greatest wishes. Eclipse season will be coming up next to help clear paths and make way for whatever we are calling in for our highest good.

Good luck out there- Onwards!💫

FULL MOON IN VIRGO
2/24/2024 @ 7:30 AM EST

Virgo Full Moons tend to ask us, “Where are we not putting in the necessary work to achieve our dreams?”

Virgo is about consistency of effort, tackling the achievable small tasks daily, working in harmony with the seasons, etc.

This Moon opposes Mercury and Saturn in Pisces, which is very much "if we can dream it we can achieve it" energy, but with the T-Square to Pallas Athene in Sagittarius (ruled by Jupiter trining this moon) we are asked, "To what end?".

Pallas needs something worth fighting for- a spiritual ideology, higher pursuits in the name of truth, a greater purpose of healing at its core.

When we establish goals that serve a higher purpose, the easier it is to use Virgo's ability to channel our power into actionable daily tasks towards that ultimate goal and see results (instead of the flip side of virgo: procrastinating, becoming plagued with self-doubt, or self-criticism etc.).

So, let us find a quiet moment for ourselves to stare up at this moon, breathe it in, and go forth putting one foot in front of the other with a renewed sense of trust.

Good luck out there. We’ve got this. 💫
