When the Chariot calls...

...where I have been

Dear loves,

Life has been incredibly full lately; The Chariot has swept me up in its momentum, and Sagittarius’ arrow has already flown. I’ve been carried forward with a sense of purpose and inevitability, and it’s only now that I’m catching my breath enough to share where that energy has taken me.

The Chariot has always been, for me, the moment in the Hero’s Journey where the call to action is finally accepted. After the teachings of the first six cards; those lessons in duality, in holding opposites, in understanding the foundations of creation, we reach a point where something inside us says, It’s time. Time to step onto the path of self-discovery. Time for the Ego to awaken and begin forming an identity that is uniquely ours.

What I love about The Chariot is that it’s the first object in the Major Arcana. It’s the vehicle that contains us, carrying our growing sense of self as we begin to consciously direct our libido, our life-force. But it also asks: Are we actually holding the reins? In the body, this shows up as noticing whether we’re clenching too tightly… or letting everything slip through our fingers.

And truly, these last two months have felt like living inside The Chariot itself. I’ve been pulled toward something new and bright; a little like pratibha, that tantric flash of intuition, that turning toward the inner light. Following that call, I found myself returning to a path I thought I had set down for good.

I’m returning to teaching. I have a new job!
Starting in January, I’ll be back in the classroom, supporting and shaping young minds.

This shift means my social media presence and offerings (Instagram, Substack, and beyond) will change in rhythm; but I deeply hope you’ll stay with me as I find my new balance. The beautiful part is that my new role is four days a week, leaving me spaciousness for creativity, play, my master’s program, and continuing this work with you.

For now, I’m listening to The Chariot’s wisdom: pausing, gathering, recalibrating my reins.

I’ll be taking a further break until the New Year.
Thank you for riding alongside me, for holding space as I let this next chapter unfold.

See you on the other side, loves.
