Parts of your life are being dissolved right now. This is not the time to fight it. Allow the dissolving to occur & trust what is being revealed to you in the process.
We are inside the eclipse portal, held in the luminous & disorienting space between two of the most significant eclipses we have had in years. The Leo South Node Solar Eclipse arrived on August 12th, pulling its karmic vacuum cleaner through a particular area of your life & clearing out what has been quietly draining your energy. The Pisces North Node Lunar Eclipse arrives on August 27th, bringing a wave of amplification, vision & spiritual gifts into the opposite house of your chart. Between these two eclipses, we are in the in-between. The place where the old has already begun to leave & the new has not yet fully arrived.
This space can feel disorienting. The old path is falling away, yet the new one hasn’t completely formed yet. You can feel it out there, stretching into the mist, the early rays of sunlight just beginning to burn off the fog. But not quite yet.
In our modern culture, & especially as we approach Virgo Season, there is a tendency to want to have a plan for the next thing, without fully allowing ourselves to integrate the changes that are occurring in our lives. We are obsessed with resolution & moving forward in the name of progress or productivity. The eclipse portal is asking something different of you entirely. It is asking you to linger in the pause. To forfeit your need to know. To surrender to the present moment & give yourself permission to feel it all without knowing what comes next.
This is not a time for forcing. It is a time for dissolving
What the Leo Eclipse cleared
With the Leo South Node Solar Eclipse, we were in unfamiliar territory. The karmic vacuum cleaner moved through a particular area of your life & asked you to release your white-knuckle grip on the need to perform for love, to find reliable patterns & ways to receive appreciation, & to be able to see the path ahead. Whatever left in the wake of that eclipse left for a reason. Even if it didn’t feel that way. Even if it still doesn’t.
Whatever it is that you are grappling with right now, know this: it is ancient & rooted in fear & survival. For too long, your inner critic has been filling your mind with judgemental thoughts of self-doubt, inferiority & uncertainty. This has caused you to feel like you have to perform for love, feel overwhelmed by your gifts & unable to let your magic out. The trouble is that it is so deeply ingrained that even when you know it is not serving you, there is still some part of you that finds safety in the familiar.
Sound healing can be profoundly supportive right now precisely because of this. When the mind is locked in these old survival patterns, talking about them or thinking your way through them rarely breaks the loop. Sound works differently. It bypasses the reasoning mind entirely & speaks directly to the nervous system, to the body, to the cellular memory where these patterns are actually stored. If you have been finding it hard to access stillness or clarity in the space between these eclipses, this is exactly the medicine the moment is asking for.
What the Pisces Eclipse is bringing
With the coming Pisces North Node Lunar Eclipse happening in the sign of Pisces & connected to the North Node of the Moon, a new dream is growing within you. A new reality is calling to you from within the mist. But in order to realize this dream, you are being asked to release the part of you that has been stifling your creativity based on old mental thought patterns of lack of self-confidence. Whatever these old patterns are that have been thrashing about inside of you, it is time for them to be transformed. The coming eclipse is going to hold the vision for your most authentic expression, even if you have never seen anything like it before.
With next week’s eclipse happening in the sign of Pisces & connected with the North Node of the Moon, everything can feel like it is dissolving around you, or like you are trying to navigate your way through thick, holographic fog. Your body needs so much more rest in this energy. Your mind thinks things can be seen clearly one minute, only to watch that awareness sink below the surface the next.
This is Pisces doing what Pisces does: dissolving the boundaries between what was & what is becoming, between the self you have known & the self that is emerging. It is not comfortable. It is also not something you can think your way through. The most powerful practices for this portal are the ones that work at the level of the body & the soul: sound healing, being in water, resting, writing down your dreams, meditation & giving yourself time to simply drift. These are not indulgences. They are the very practices that are most aligned with what the cosmos is asking of you right now.
The Shamanic Star Sound Training begins on August 27th, on the Pisces North Node Lunar Eclipse itself. If sound healing has been calling to you, if you have been feeling the pull to work with this medicine more deeply & to be trained to hold it for others, this is one of the most auspicious moments in years to say yes. We would love to have you join us.
The Sleeping Beauty within you
It is like you are inside a fairy tale, facing a dark & ancient forest of tangled briars. These are your own negative self-judgements, the need for approval of others that you have internalised over the years. Inside this dark & tangled forest lies your very own Sleeping Beauty: the most ideal vision for your life, the one where you are free to be your most authentic, beautifully unique self.
All of these thick & tangled briars are your very own thoughts. You can either hack your way through them, or you can focus on your one true love, yourself, & allow your love & devotion to your physical body to dissolve all of the briars & awaken your beloved.
The glimmer of a new reality calls to you from within the mist. Do you have the faith & belief in yourself to enter the ancient forest, to dissolve all of the tangled briars of your own self-deprecating thoughts & rescue your true love, your true self, that has been fast asleep all of these years?
There is something from your past, related to your sacred service, your confidence, your self-worth & your creative expression, that has gotten locked away in favor of perfectionism. Sometimes this looks like the fear of being seen, creating drama to avoid sharing your gifts, allowing the judgement or criticism of others, or yourself, to paralyse you. This addiction to perfection has been quietly crushing your confidence to let your magic out.
Over the past two years, the Pisces part of you has been flooding your consciousness, washing away all of your old ideas about what true creativity & devotion look like. Here is the hint: it has nothing to do with performance & everything to do with loving yourself & your unique creative expression regardless of whether others love it or hate it.
What is the most ideal vision you have for your life? Can you dream even bigger?
What we need from you
What we need now more than ever is your visionary creative contributions. We need you to boldly & confidently share your gifts in new & innovative ways, even if we have never seen anything like it before. The time of feeling overwhelmed by your gifts & unable to share them for fear of persecution is ending. It is time for you to bring forward your most ideal vision for our collective healing.
Sound healing is one of the most powerful & ancient forms of visionary creative contribution available to us. The practitioners who are trained to hold ceremony with sound are not just artists — they are keepers of a frequency that is deeply needed right now, as the Pisces eclipse amplifies the collective’s hunger for dissolution, for mysticism, for the kind of healing that goes beyond what the mind can manufacture. If you have been feeling this call, I want you to know that the Shamanic Star Sound Training was created for exactly this moment. Doors close August 26th.
Trust the unknowing
Trust the Unknowing of this moment. Trust that you will know exactly what to do once the clarity arrives, & that you will have all of the resources to finally express the dream you hold for your life when the time comes.
The purpose of this space in-between is to deepen your feeling sense & your emotional intuition, so you can listen deeply to the quiet whispers of your body. Allow this to occur.
Trust your process.
You’ve got this.

- Where in your life do you feel the dissolving most strongly right now? What is being pulled out to sea that you are still tempted to hold onto?
- What old thought pattern of self-doubt, inferiority or lack of self-confidence has been thrashing about inside of you? What would it feel like to finally let it be transformed?
- Your Sleeping Beauty, the most ideal vision for your life, is waiting inside the forest. What does she look like? What is she doing? What has she been waiting to express?
- The Pisces eclipse is bringing a new dream forward. What is the most expansive, most visionary, most beautifully unique creative contribution you could imagine making to the world?
- Where have you been performing for love rather than creating from love? What would change if you stopped waiting for permission?
- What is the quiet whisper of your body trying to tell you right now, underneath all the noise of the mind?
My prayer for you in this space between eclipses:
May you find the grace to linger in the pause & trust that the dissolving is purposeful. May the tangled briars of your own self-judgement be dissolved by the force of your love & devotion to your true self. May your Sleeping Beauty awaken, & may she be even more luminous, more visionary & more wildly herself than anything you dared to imagine while you were waiting. May the fog lift at exactly the right moment & may you find yourself standing at the threshold of the most authentic, most courageous chapter of your creative life. May you trust the unknowing long enough for the knowing to arrive.
You’ve got this, Shining Ones. The dream is already growing.
And so it is.
