ESsential Cosmic shadow work guide and workbook.
Awaken to your true self with your natal moon.
Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.
— Carl Jung
Dear Healer and Seeker,
The road to healing and self-actualization isn’t all roses. We can’t “love and light” our way to feeling whole. We must delve into our shadows and shine light on them. This is called shadow work. And it’s a crucial part of everyone’s healing journey.
The shadow lives in your unconscious. It's those parts of you that you have hidden or rejected. It's trauma and those difficult truths. It is also karmic and inherited.
Without knowing your shadow, you are missing an important part of you: the part that holds you back, that creates self-sabotage and self-imposed suffering.
It’s the part that disconnects you from your needs and desires, and speaks to your un-lived potential and passions.
It's the part that speaks to self-limiting habits and harmful relationships, whether it be to people, ideas or things.
We all have a shadow. And we all hide it well, even unknowingly to our conscious self.
There are many ways to acknowledge the shadow. Astrology is a powerful modality to support this process. I am a living testament to this, as are the countless people I have worked with over the years.
I am currently writing a book on Cosmic Shadow Work. This essentials guide and workbook is my offering and a taste of what’s to come. I hope you find it as useful as I have in my own healing journey.
Shadow Work is sacred. It’s an ancestral calling. Not everyone is willing and ready to do this work. So if you are here, then trust that you’re ready to deepen your healing. You are ready to realign your lineage lines in this powerful way.
Why Astrology + Shadow Work?
Because the shadow cannot hide in the natal chart.
This unconscious part of you shows itself through the planets and placements in your chart.
By exploring the condition of the planets in your natal chart, how they align with each other and where they focus their energies, you start to see all parts of yourself come together in this cosmic way.
Astrology gently nudges you into radical self-awareness. It points to the where, what, who and why. It also shows the *how* of possibility through self-acceptance, healing and transformation.
The natal Moon as your shadow work guide.
There are other many energies in the natal chart that can support shadow work. Here, we begin with the luminary that holds the key to our wellbeing, your natal moon.
The moon holds insight about our needs, desires, comforts— basically, what each of us, as individuals, need to nourish our mind, body and spirit. If you don’t know much about your moon sign, I have a self-paced course you can take called Moon Sign Wellness.
In this essentials guide and workbook, you get to delve a bit deeper into the layers of your moon’s wisdom to uncover and explore your unconscious needs, desires, motivations, emotional wounds, behaviour patterns and much more.
The insights you gain through this process are invaluable in your healing journey. You may have radical breakthroughs in perspective. You may find clarity in patterns and cycles that you are ready to break away from.
Whatever the case, your natal moon’s wisdom will guide you gently through the shadow work necessary to deepening your healing from hereon. It will shift the path towards more alignment in your healing process by shedding light unto what’s hidden.
In this way, you are healing in the most whole-istic way by integrating all parts of yourself from here on forward.
