So interesting, Maria! Wow, what a spread. It made me think of what the larger culture is going through collectively. The Tower always gives me pause... but here we are. In the end, it's a good thing.

It has been coming up individually for clients, too, for sure!

I’m so sorry about what happened to you, but I’m glad you’re still able to continue your healing journey with your father.

Wow Maria, thank you for bringing us along your healing journey. I love how you don’t pull any punches acknowledging the grief and rage while also encouraging us to shed it. I felt simultaneously seen and called out at the same time πŸ˜„. This is fascinating and I often have these mixed feelings when working with ancestors. I have also had a lot of pent up bullshit coming through lately - not sure if it’s the constant Epstein discussion in the news or Scorpio season or what. That Taurus full moon did me no favors. Thank you for being here and for all that you do.

Oh geez, yes on being both seen and called out. Astrology and tarot do that to/for me regularly 🀣

Thank you for sharing this tender piece, Maria. I love that you shared this heartbreak, love how you are healing from it and showing us that connection and magic is always here. Thank you for the potent astrology...sharing it with my retreat attendees this week in Costa Rica!

I hope you and all the lovelies have a wonderful retreat πŸ’š

"Scorpio implores us to see that once we have experienced the pain and learned the lesson, there is nothing left to be gained from picking at the scab."

Talk about resonating!

I love this piece, Maria. What happened with you is sad and inexcusable, but it's so clear that you've embraced your gifts as the means to heal yourself AND help others heal. Beautiful and wondrous. You inspire me.

You and your Dad. What an adventure through time and space (or through no time & space 🧐). It’s so beautiful how you got the message from the ant-situation and was able to collaborate with your dad to move them on. And the healing. Wow.

As for what happened to you, well pre-verbal sexual trauma is the most serious shit. You are a warrior. Truly. Let us follow in your footsteps and be guided toward healing. β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή

Indeed the stars are aligning for a most darkly hilarious episode of β€œAmerican Thanksgiving”. Brought to you by, Unresolved Trauma & Utter Chaos. (I’d keep going because there’s so much here, but alas, I will stop here. So much love to you, my sister.
