Final Thoughts: Alchemy in Motion
This week invites us to refine our flame—to embrace the sacred tension between action and intuition, light and shadow, freedom and responsibility. With the Solstice as our energetic anchor, we are being shown that healing is not a linear path—it is a spiral staircase, ascending with every conscious choice we make to love ourselves more deeply.
Let the light show you what you’ve outgrown. Let the dark show you where to plant new seeds. And above all, trust: you are not behind, you are becoming.
