Shwoooo… this last week of Mercury retrograde has me exhausted and emotional. I’m definitely trying to honor it all. Be gentle with yourselves, friends! With that said, the energy of this week is no surprise, it’s all about reflection, emotional honesty, and allowing your inner world to speak.

The “Mirror Guardian” is guiding you to pause and reflect. What is life mirroring back to you in this moment? Can you see how far you’ve come? Pull back for a broader, more compassionate perspective. Take a really good look in the mirror and embrace the beauty, strength, and wisdom in the person standing before you.

The “Water Guardian” asks you to honor whatever emotions are rising to the surface. How are you truly feeling? There is truth being revealed to you at this time. Are you willing to listen?

If you feel blissfully happy, connected, motivated, or inspired, take a moment of gratitude and let yourself fully experience it. Joy is sacred and we often miss it by worrying about the future, imagining what could go wrong, or waiting for the other shoe to drop.

If you are feeling disappointed, sad, worried, fearful, or even angry, honor that too. Lean into these emotions with love and curiosity. What’s underneath? Beneath nearly every heavy feeling is a core wound, belief, or fear asking to be seen,  acknowledged, and loved. 

Can we take a moment to acknowledge and learn from the past? Let’s embrace the lessons and leave the pain behind.  Can we also acknowledge where we are now while looking through the lens of loving truth and compassion? Can we then love all the parts of ourselves? Our perception of “good” or “bad“ or ugly is just that, a perception. We are all made of light and shadow, perfectly imperfect!

With so much love always,

I see you

Nicole 💜
