Time to Get Yourself Unstuck
Use journaling to re-write your own reality bubble
Look to the West after sunset, and you may catch a glimpse of the young crescent Moon, hanging in the evening sky.
I always think of the crescent Moon as graceful and delicate. I have to remind myself that, astrologically speaking, tonight’s silver sickle is in one of her least cozy places to be.
See, on her own, the Moon likes comfort. She likes to feel safe — including the sense of security habits and routines can bring.
But Luna enters Scorpio tonight, and the Scorpion is not made for any of those things. This sign’s deep and shadowy intensity is a lot for the Moon to handle. It’s a prickly challenge to the Moon’s comfort zone.
Today, that challenge is even harder to ignore. Scorpio’s ruler Mars also meets the Sun for his once-every two years superior conjunction. Like a rocket booster, the Sun amps up Mars’ passion and energy…
Making it much harder for the Moon to hide under the covers when the alarm goes off.
But there’s always a plus side! When there’s a shock to your system, a sudden change that breaks your routine. It’s a great opportunity to shift gears and start doing things differently.
And that includes ANY shock. Even one you create for yourself!
That’s something I learned in my magic training. There’s lots of little moments in a day that we can harness to “shock” our systems…
To release old habits and consciously create new ones to replace them.
One of the best tools for doing this is a writing practice. Like meditation, a writing practice can create space between you and your thoughts, feelings and behaviors — a space that gives you a chance to choose your own reactions.
With a few simple tweaks — such as reflecting on why you did what you did — you can even turn your daily to-do list into an opportunity for self- understanding.
“You didn’t come here to make the choice, you’ve already made it. You’re here to try to understand *why* you made it. I thought you’d have figured that out by now.”

In my upcoming FREE training “How to Create a Real Book of Shadows and Accelerate Your Magical Journey” I’ll talk about how use these everyday moments to help you shift your thinking — to redesign your reality bubble.
The training is for both long-time journal keepers, as well as those who’ve always wanted to start one (or need a little push to keep going). You can choose your training time here.
