The Benefactor

​If you’re like me you might have a tendency to think of the cosmos as a map of distant stars mixed with nothingness and the unknown. While this isn't exactly untrue, it isn't exactly true either. A much more interactive (and, frankly, exciting!!!!) way to think of the universe is as a living energy field with which your consciousness is in constant, subtle dialogue.

Astrological transits aren't just events out there; they are resonant frequencies that can be felt and harnessed in here—in your nervous system, your mind, your very cells. They can play out within your psyche, your relationships, in everyday life and in the collective.

​The Magic of the Sextile

​Today's magic is woven from the delicate threads of the sextile. In technical terms, a sextile occurs when two planets are approximately 60 degrees apart in the sky. This is a common and harmonious angle, not a rare, intense event like a major eclipse and not challenging like the (also common) square aspect (a 90 degree angle). A sextile doesn't force change upon you; it simply presents an opportunity. It is a gentle, yet powerful, open door.

​Simply put: the universe is providing an optimal frequency, a clear channel, an opportunity, if you will, but you have to be the one to notice it and take conscious action. This transit gives you the green light, the supportive energy, and the intuitive nudge—but the final step is yours to take. In a sextile the universe is holding a door open for you, but you have to walk through it yourself in order to step into your own potential.

​The Inner Alchemist

Today, two important sextiles are opening doors for us, and both involve Jupiter, the king of the gods.

​Think of Jupiter as the ultimate cosmic benefactor. If they have reality tv on Mount Olympus, he'd definitely be on their version of Shark Tank. Bringing the vision, the influence, the reach, and the resources, ready to invest in- not the next great idea- but the people behind the great ideas. He’s not here to give you a handout; he's here to partner with you. He sees what’s already good and wants to help you turn it into something great that benefits the entire world.

​1. Sun Sextile Jupiter: The Oracle of Expansion

​Your core identity (the Sun) is in a beautiful alignment with Jupiter, the planet of abundance. This is more than optimism; it's a potent, neurochemical boost to your system. Think of it as a rush of dopamine and serotonin, priming your mind for belief and your nervous system for courage. The inner critic's voice quiets, and a deep knowing that you are capable of more rises to the surface.

​This is a day to embody your potential. Abundance is a vibrational state, and when the Sun aligns with Jupiter, you are in resonance with material expansion. The projects you start, the conversations you initiate, and the opportunities you seek are more likely to find fertile ground and flourish.

​The Practice: Imprinting the Dream

​Sit in quiet meditation. Close your eyes and see your biggest, most expansive dream as if it has already happened. Use all your senses to experience it—the feeling in your body, the sound, the atmosphere. This isn't just a fantasy; it's a practice in imprinting a new neural pathway onto your subconscious mind. Then, take a single, small physical action in the material world that aligns with that vision. A single step in this reality can help to solidify the new path you've built in your inner world.

​2. Mercury Sextile Jupiter: The Oracle of Insight

​Next, Mercury, the messenger and the mind, forms another powerful link with Jupiter. This is the alignment of genius and wisdom. Thoughts become expansive, ideas interconnected. This transit dissolves the rigid boundaries of the mind, allowing for cognitive leaps that feel like pure intuitive insight (aka “downloads”). It’s a psychoanalytic moment where the unconscious speaks clearly to the conscious mind. Your words, too, are imbued with power and purpose.

​The Practice: The Mirror of Wisdom

​Engage in a deliberate conversation with someone whose worldview is dramatically different from your own. Do not seek to convince or argue. Instead, use them as a mirror to reflect your own thought patterns and biases. By understanding their perspective, you expand your own. This is a powerful somatic and neuro-linguistic exercise in stretching your consciousness beyond its usual boundaries, allowing new wisdom to enter through unexpected channels.

​Today, the universe is giving you a powerful energetic boost for both your sense of self and your voice. The universe is offering you its full support, but it’s up to you to put in the work.

It’s not about what will happen to you, it's about what miracles you will co-create
