As I am writing this and trying to think of a melodramatic entry point into describing a rock bottom time in my life there isn’t a clear one. And—there isn’t just one. Rock bottom, for me at least, isn’t so much about a catastrophic life event, as much as how I felt.
Which led me to thinking is rock bottom a lifestyle? Buddha did tell us life is suffering. Or, similar to the realization I made about joy and it not being a destination. Happiness isn’t a place. It’s a choice. Cause when I think of rock bottom—I do imagine it as a place. Mine is the bottom of a well, a black cave, wet, and I’m always looking up but I can’t get out. But what if rock bottom is a choice—just like joy. What if we are more empowered in this state than we give it credit?
This is what we will explore at New Moon Club with the New Moon Total Solar Eclipse in Aries. If Aries is beginning of the zodiac, what is beginning when we are at rock bottom? Furthermore—we have a total eclipse, and eclipse season marks major beginnings and endings.
How can we view rock bottom as such so that we see it as a place to climb from, rather than a place we are barren to be. How can we accept rock bottom for its fertility, and how can we view rock bottom as a place to plant seeds? What if that seed grows into a stalk that we can climb up? How can something come from nothing? Because isn’t that what rock bottom feels like, as if we have nothing or lost everything?
What is the energy of rock bottom and how is it transmutable? What tools can we share with each other about how to begin again? Because it is a starting point as much as it is an endpoint. But this is only part of the energy that this solar eclipse in Aries brings.
The other part is from Chiron, our wounded healer. Chiron forms an exact conjunction with this solar eclipse. All three celestial beings will land at 19 degrees of Aries. With or without intention we will be examining our wounds around self-knowing. If you have any planets near this degree in Aries, expect it to land even more personally for you.
Allow New Moon Club to be your intention. Journaling in tandem with reiki is a mirror—if you go looking, you will find yourself. You will hear from yourself what it is you need articulated in order to move ahead. Aries is a cardinal sign. It initiates. It simplifies. Learn more about the clarity that comes with reiki + writing here.
Aries: Genesis. Origin. Adam. Eve. Lilith. Ribs. Bone. Caveman vibes: the basic requirements to stay alive. This is also our root chakra, our baseline, our rational fears, our survival instincts. It is our relationship to self, it is having a self. Our self-awareness. Root chakra: I am. This is our divinity.
Aries is a fire sign. And the root is our hearth. But fires go out. Fires must be tended to in order to stay aflame. We are born, and we die many times in this one life. We transform: this is our consistency. And so, to know the self, to balance the root, requires consistent intention, action and adjustment. Being ourselves is also not a destination.
This solar eclipse in Aries is docking at the station of self-discovery. Reiki and writing is how we will collect samples and will be a scope for seeing our whole raw self. Rock bottom is you at your most unadulterated and most undecorated.
At New Moon Club, Sunday, April 7th, 2024 at 5 PM EST We will balance our root chakra with a reiki meditation from me. And then self-reflect with journaling while in an embodied state. We will end the session with breathwork with
.And in between, you will be invited to share your ideas, your wisdom, your expertise in suffering, in happiness, in creating resilience, in knowing who the f*ck you are. And of course, the current astrology will be woven in and throughout.
You are the expert of your own life. You have so much to offer, we would love to listen to your wisdom, to your stories, your experiences of the times that forced the most resilience from you.
Gift your root chakra some tenderness. Align with the Aries New Moon and ignite some intentions and:
