Depth - Transformation & Growth

Heyy Bestie,

I hope you had a wonderful week and an enchanting weekend! I definitely did. I made quite a few TikToks and rewatched Over the Garden Wall with friends. I taught my first astrology class at Nalu Kava, and it went spectacularly! Good vibes, good company, and a lot of me yapping. I can't complain at least.. and I'm excited to do it again at Kindness Farm, next month! In the meantime, I'll be posting more astrology updates to my social media accounts in the coming weeks. Especially since we're approaching this grand water trine on Thursday! Get ready for big emotions, big creativity, and big intuitive opportunities!

Bestie, I am also one sore bih.. If you don't know, I'm a farm educator at Kindness Farm. It is one of the joys of my life and fills my cup so, so much. And I was there five days last week.. ANDD decided to get back into running.. So, I am sore. But it is so healing. In all the ways: physically, mentally, spiritually. I've been healing my inner teen lately, and that's looked like reclaiming past parts of me that I left back in Fairbanks, Alaska, in 2017, namely running. Now, it's not like I haven't gone on runs on and off for the past eight years, but I want to take it seriously again. Because running was my first form of meditation. I found solace in it, while being formed in the frigid hell that is Fairbanks — I say this in a loving way. Every run, every hike, every mountain climbed, uh.. every march (military town, uffda), was a time where I could just focus on my breath and heal. This is my long story short kinda way to say that I imagined myself running Fairbanks' marathon, The Equinox, my hometown marathon mid tarot reading.. so here I am, inspired ~

I'm already planning to do the Turkey Trot 5k at the Oregon Zoo in November, the Wooden Shoe TulipFest 10k in March, and in June I'll be doing the Timberline Half Marathon! That's my plan, right now! As we approach the Celtic and Hawaiian New Years, I also intend to deepen my practice with yoga and further develop my woodworking and leathercrafting hobbies. On a more silly note, I am also playing Runescape and World of Warcraft again. They're like old friends, but video games that I have been playing for literally over 20 years.. Lmao. What are you intentions for the next year?

Bestie, I also want to ask you: what do you want to see more of in these letters? In my class / workshop offerings? What would you like me to rant and rave about? I'm always open for ideas, and am adaptable — it's that gemini rising c;

Mahalo, thank you for reading as always, and I hope to hear from you soon!

E Mālama Pono,

Kawika <3

In case you didn't know, we have a Libra new moon tomorrow, folx! It's time to tip the scales back into balance — while including YOUR NEEDS AND PRIORITIES! New beginnings, clear intentions, and open minds are what I think of when I think of a new moon. Compared to a full moon, emotions are at a low. Have you ever felt that folx are feral around a full moon? Well, they are. New moons tend to bring the opposite. They are still times of emotionality, I mean, it's the Moon! But it's at a much lower level, and pragmatism or what's more "logical" is more likely to be the focus. If you're wondering how this new moon will affect you specifically, then locate where Libra is in your chart (relative to your rising sign) and really dig into the topics that are in that house. As a gemini rising, I am definitely feeling my 5th house lighting up already.. Meaning, I am feeling HOT AGAIN!! YAYY ME!! I am also feeling more creative energy flowing and have been expressing myself freely again after what feels like half a year of burnout. Remember that intention setting earlier in this letter? That is me using this Libra energy to course correct, to balance, to tip the scales back in my favor — in regards to the 5th house, a house ruled by Leo, a house where you're supposed to embrace and take pride in you. So I am. Slowly, but surely <3

Now, a Scorpio talking about Scorpio season..? What can I say? Sometimes the stereotypes hold true. I have also found that Scorpios love to be Scorpios, even if they're all mysterious and secretive about it. I'm not, though! Starting October 23, we’re going to have Mercury, Mars, the Moon, and the Sun all transiting through Scorpio. Conversations, revelations, severing, and the growth that naturally follows are all going to be immensely deep, and potentially.. blunt. Remember, Scorpio is traditionally ruled by Mars — the planet of aggression and drive. So look to where Scorpio is in your chart, whether it be as planets and aspects, or which house Scorpio resides. All of us will experience profound transformations over the next month. Scorpio season is a time for us to look inwards and embrace introspection, to deepen our relationship to self, so we can evolve and thrive as a more concentrated version of ourselves. Lean into it. I swear it’s worth it — coming from a Scorpio stellium.

We also have a grand water trine taking place, Thursday! Grand trines showcase moments in time where things flow naturally, harmoniously, and frankly.. overflow! Aligning with Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, our emotional world: love, fulfillment, creativity, should be brimming with opportunities. So let things flow. Then overflow. And overflow some more! Where do these water signs fall in your chart? These transits are lighting up my 2nd, 6th, and 12th houses — haha. In all seriousness, I am excited about how this trine will play out!

I also wanted to share more about the grand water trine because grand trines aren't talked about as much in the astrology community, at least from what I've seen. There isn't much to say about them, it's good energy that flows easily. There is more to say when it pops up in your natal chart, though. But I'll dig into that another time!

Mahalo, salamat pō, thank you, for reading this week's letter! I'm thinking of doing a weekly astrology check-in that is more in-depth soon. I'll keep y'all in the loop on that <3
