Hey there,

I wanted to share something about today that feels really grounding. At 12:59, Mercury formed a sextile with Lilith, and it’s such an interesting energy.

Mercury is all about how we think, communicate, and process the world, while Lilith taps into our raw, unapologetic selves, the part of us that just wants to be real, without worrying about judgment or expectations. When these two energies meet in harmony, it’s like a nudge from the universe to speak your truth and also to tune into the deeper, quieter truths within yourself.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this, especially with the holidays coming up.

Does this time of year ever make you feel... disconnected? There’s so much pressure to have it all together: the partner to share cozy moments with, the perfectly decorated home, the festive dinners with friends that look like a Hallmark ad.

And sure, those things are lovely, but when they don’t all fall into place, it can start to feel like you’re missing something, like you’re not doing “the holidays” right.

But today, with this Mercury-Lilith energy, I feel like I’m finally giving myself permission to just stop. To let go of all that pressure. Maybe this season doesn’t have to be about proving anything or living up to some ideal. Maybe it’s about spending time with the person you’re most connected to, and that person has to include you.

What if the holidays were about being lovable to yourself first? Taking care of yourself in a way that feels warm and nourishing, like baking cookies just because you love the smell, or watching silly, predictable Christmas movies under a blanket because they make you smile. It’s not about who’s there or what’s missing; it’s about slowing down, being present, and remembering that you’re already whole, even if life doesn’t look “perfect.”

This transit feels like a gift, a reminder to speak gently and honestly to ourselves. Maybe take a moment today to check in. Journal a little, go for a walk, or just sit quietly with a cup of coffee and let yourself be. You don’t need to earn rest or joy. You don’t need anyone’s permission to love yourself exactly as you are.

So, here’s to making this season less about the expectations and more about what actually feels good to you. Let’s make space for that, yeah?
