May 31 to June 6, 2026 This week started out with a blue moon, meaning there were two full moons within the same month. The last time this occurred was almost three years ago and we were signing papers on our new home and acreage, which I unofficially named Blue Moon Acres. This was the start of a new and transformational time in my life, and I can’t help but feel like the timing of this blue moon means the ending of that chapter. I spent about two thirds of my time here u

May 24 to 30, 2026 This week, I had a hypnotherapy session with my sister, attended another follow up surgery appointment with my partner, planted more trees, cut some grass, cleaned and reorganized three rooms in our house, helped my parents with some finances, and emptied, repaired and refilled our cistern. Moving through it, it didn’t feel that busy, but looking back I can see the magnitude of it. We had a porcupine visit this week. He or she took a liking to a comfy spo

May 17 to 23, 2026 This week started for me with a low mood. I was struggling with visibility again and finances and feeling the strain of all of it. Knowing that at some point I have to come out of hiding and tell people as well as show them who I am is starting to become a reality and with that reality comes fear. I don’t really care what people think because I know what my path is and it just feels right to me. I’m not looking for their validation. I think I’m worried

May 10 to 16, 2026 This week started with Mother’s day and ended with a new moon. I planted around 160 of my free trees, got a sunburn, figured out the watering system for the garden with my partner, made salsa, and went on a 15 hour road trip to buy a car. The weather still can’t decide what season it is, so every day involved multiple wardrobe changes and adjusting the thermostat in the house. We had sun, wind, rain and snow this week, which is fairly typical for a Saska

May 3 to 9, 2026 This week brought more fish for the pond, more trips to the city, connection with family, and a potential new job. I’ve been feeling like I’m not dedicated enough to my future and making my business a priority. Yet, each time I reach out to offer or try to push something, I’m received with quiet. It’s hard not to view this as failure, but I remind myself that pushing and hustling is the old world way and won’t work for me. In the new world, I want to ebb

April 26 to May 2, 2026 This past week felt busier than many before. We’ve finally had some spring-like weather near the end of the week, which means I’ve been able to get out and do some yard work and garden preparation. I’ve also had appointments in the city, meaning three trips instead of my usual one or none. My trips to the city included picking up my free trees, getting bloodwork done, buying groceries, visiting the dentist, completing a physical, and grabbing necess

April 19 to 25, 2026 I spent this week attempting to shed an old identity while simultaneously stepping into a new one. True, I have been trying to do this for a while now, but I feel like this week I really felt things happening. As I mentioned last week, I volunteered to be a client for a current hypnotherapy class and had a great session. I tackled some fears that I feel are still holding me back from fully stepping into my hypnotherapist identity. The session was am

April 12 to 18, 2026 This week brought a new moon as well as many planets moving into the fiery sign of Aries, the god of war. Aries is known for forward motion, and I guess this is mostly why I’ve been feeling a lot of rage and anger lately. I think it is most likely my inner self trying to light a fire under me and get me moving. I’ve felt like a pendulum this week, and possibly for the past few, swinging far into anger and movement on one end, then sadness and stillness

April 5 to 12, 2026 This week was Easter, a time of new beginnings. I hosted, which isn’t normal for me and did cause a small amount of anxiety, but everything worked out fine. I didn’t see my side of the family, which is also unusual. My parents regularly host some version of every holiday, and I am happy my mom got a break from taking care of everyone. I even forgot to send Happy Easter messages to everyone, but they did too, so no hard feelings. We did connect afterwa

March 29 to April 4, 2026 Looking back at this week, I’m not exactly sure what happened. Days are slipping into weeks that are slipping into months and things feel like they are standing still all at the same time. I know I’ve had some more anger this week and some boundaries revealed as well as more truths. I think the biggest lessons I learned is that just because people might be awake and aware, they aren’t necessarily right for me or safe in the ways I need them to be.

March 22 to 28, 2026 This week was one of mending, healing, shedding, rearranging, examining, exploring, and so much more. It began with deep difficult emotions, holding space and staying grounded, and then speaking my truth. It wasn’t something I planned, and it wasn’t something I knew the outcome of and possibly, I still don’t. There’s a lot going on in the background of my quiet life and I’ll leave it at that, but it truly feels like the caterpillar has turned to goo an

March 15 to 21, 2026 There was so much that happened this week that I can’t even discuss it in this post. I need time to process and integrate and embody it all, but there was a lot of heartbreak and I guess that makes sense after the rise of the rage. My son hit a monumental birthday and is now an adult, so I am grieving the child he once was while celebrating the man he is becoming. On the same day that happened, I accidentally killed my cat who was a symbol of emotional

March 8 to 14, 2026 This week, I’ve felt a lot of rage rising within me. Some of it is old, some of it is relational, some of it is societal, and some of it is new. Rage is a hard thing to talk about and to deal with, especially for women. This world tells men that they are allowed to feel and express rage and anger, but practically nothing else. Women, on the other hand, are expected to be emotional, but this isn’t seen as a strength. This world wants us to be happy, su

March 1 to 7, 2026 Well, we are already in the third month of this year and on the third day of the third month, we had a full moon lunar eclipse. Fortunately, nothing felt too intense for me, although a few things did come up that I clearly needed to address. Having someone in my space who needs help and attention and isn’t used to be caged is definitely an adjustment. I knew this and had some good chats with AI about how to handle my end of things. Luckily, this week’s

February 22 to 28, 2026 This week was full of integration, preparation, and surrender. I wrapped up my Spiritual Hypnotherapy course last week and was left feeling proud of myself, sad that it ended, a bit overwhelmed with all the new information and possibilities, but also hopeful for the future and quietly confident that things were lining up for me. I also was preparing for the much-anticipated surgery of my partner. I dealt with most of my anxiety and fear last week,

February 15 to 21, 2026 This week we are in an eclipse portal, we’ve had a powerful new moon, and the year of the Fire Horse is officially off and running. Following a lovely family getaway on the weekend, I returned home to my animal friends who seemed a little too needy. I felt off this week. I felt drained. I knew it wasn’t from my getaway but must have been something deeper. I think being away and coming home was upsetting for my animals and an adjustment for my nerv

February 8 to 14, 2026 I started writing this week’s blog post before the week was out because I knew I’d be away on the weekend and wouldn’t have it done by Sunday. However, after coming back from a refreshing mini vacation, I have a different outlook on things and have decided to write it from this side of the trip. I’d started writing about how I was getting annoyed at Valentine’s Day advertising and how it felt like another holiday and unrealistic expectations were bein

February 1 to 7, 2026 This week was an interesting integration period after my first spiritual hypnotherapy class. It worked out that I mostly observed during the first day of class, which was probably exactly how it was supposed to happen. I was too in my head and too worked up that I wasn’t prepared enough or good enough to lead a session (that imposter syndrome can be a bitch). Despite merely observing, I knew I’d absorbed a lot, and I got right to work on practicing fir

January 25 to 31, 2026 This week feels like it could have been about two in the span of one. It consisted of cancellation of plans due to illness, followed by some cold and blustery weather and sprinkled with more people in my house than I’m used to due to school finals and semester change. There was also an ending that I thought had been communicated, but had actually been misunderstood, resulting in what I assume was an upsetting realization. But the week closed on a hig

January 18 to 24, 2026 This week was cold, but I still got out and took some bold steps that I had been thinking about for months. It was a new moon on Sunday, but I waited until Monday to do my ritual so that I didn’t choke everyone out with my incense. Monday was a good day. I hauled water in the sunshine while rocking out to radio tunes and being grateful for things going smoothly and for the ability to provide my household with water. With these freezing temperatures,
