Hello Friend!

Before anything else — I am excited to share that my business, Karol Lee, got nominated for Best of Tennessee in The Guide To Tennessee this year, under the Life Coaches & Personal Development category! Must have been one of my amazing clients 💛   If you've got 30 seconds, I'd love your daily vote that ends September 30th (details below) — but first, let's talk about what's happening energetically between now and the end of the year, because it's a big one.

Let’s Dive In

What to Expect Energetically Through December
This year has been an interesting rollercoaster. If you're still hanging in there, then you are doing great!

What's happening until the end of the year — this is to help you navigate the busy holiday season upon us.


What we are already experiencing

On September 10th, Uranus went retrograde in Gemini, and it'll stay that way until February 8th. Uranus is the planet of sudden change and independence — the innovator and pattern-breaker who pushes past the norm, asking us to move forward, and it likes to shake things loose. Gemini rules communication, ideas, and the way we process and share information. This is a cocktail mixed together in retrograde — that shake-it-up energy turns inward, asking us to slow down and really look at how we think, what we believe, and whether we're speaking our real truth or just saying what's expected of us, masking to meet other people's needs. If the last few months have felt mentally loud, overstimulating, or hard to settle, this is that energy asking you to pause and get honest with yourself.

Then on October 3rd, Venus goes retrograde too. Venus rules love, beauty, money, and what we value, so this transit invites us to slow down and really look at our relationships, our spending, and our sense of self-worth. It moves through Scorpio first, stirring up deep, honest questions about trust and connection — and yes, then shifts into Libra, softening into themes of balance and fairness.

Here's the part worth circling on your calendar: starting October 24th, Mercury also goes retrograde — yep, he's back~ — right alongside Venus, for about three weeks. That's a rarer overlap. Mercury brings the usual communication mix-ups, technology hiccups, and travel delays, while Venus works on our hearts and our wallets at the same time. It can create challenges in communication, relationships/partnerships, and friendships, and it can bring healing or release. It reveals areas or things in a relationship that need to change. It can also be a time of relationship status changes — you might see single move to relationship, or relationship move to single. Along with businesses, this can mean others branching out into their own company, parting from another, or co-creating a business. Both go direct on the same day, November 13th, so mid-November is when things really start to settle.

A practical note for the holidays: Venus retrograde has a reputation for financial delays — your personal value: are you getting compensated for what you do? It also makes us want to spend on luxury, so it's time to keep an eye on your budget — that designer bag or expensive holiday gift may feel irresistible right now, only to lose its shine once Venus goes direct. Venus affects our money too. If you're holiday shopping for something significant, it's worth waiting until after November 13th if you can.


📅 Dates to Know

Uranus retrograde in Gemini — began September 10 (continues through February 8, 2027)

Venus retrograde — October 3 to November 13 (Scorpio, then Libra)

Mercury retrograde — October 24 to November 13 (overlapping with Venus, in Scorpio)

Pluto turns direct — October 15
Neptune turns direct — December 12


Good news is, NO MORE eclipses this year, until February 6, 2027 — New Moon Solar Eclipse — and February 20–21, 2027 — Full Moon Lunar Eclipse — so this stretch is really about review, reflection, and recalibration, getting things cleaned up, projects in the hopper waiting to be created or finished, rather than big sudden shifts, its tending the garden seeds from the August eclipse. Embrace each day’s experiences; don’t get caught up in your mind chatter and stories, if you are doing your inner work and monitoring your progress, the outcome will bring results in 2027

Now MY Ask

​Eclipse Season & the Retrogrades We Are All Living Through

Let's call it for what it is: life is challenging all of us, and you're not sure why. You feel the intensity not only in yourself but in everyone around you.
This time we are in isn't familiar to any living being. Nature might know it, but we do not. It even has us questioning ourselves and the world, like watching a movie and waiting for all the pieces to fall into place because right now, none of it is making sense. This time is bringing such intense energy that it's uncomfortable for our elders, and for those carrying some mental struggles too. It's not negative. It is pushing us through a veil, merging our ego world with the spiritual blend world. We are being challenged to acknowledge what we've been using as armor, and instead use our soul's superpowers. Sounds very Avengers, but it's actually more Bewitched.

What is happening

August 12th, Solar Eclipse in the sign of Leo.
August 28th, Partial Lunar Eclipse in Pisces.

And already holding underneath all of it, we have three retrogrades running at once: Pluto retrograde in Aquarius (May 6–October 15), Neptune retrograde in Aries (July 7–December 12), and Saturn retrograde in Aries (July 26–December 10).

As an energy interpreter, I can feel all of this happening, and it is not a small stack of energy. That is the sky asking every single one of us the same question in different languages: who are you becoming, and are you going to choose it, or is it going to happen to you?

Understanding the Eclipse

Let me try to break this complex information down, because once you understand the pieces, the intuitive hit lands so much deeper.
An eclipse is not a regular New Moon or Full Moon. It only happens when the Sun, Moon, and Earth line up almost exactly with the lunar nodes. That precise alignment is rare, so instead of a gentle monthly reset, you get a compressed timeline. Months of movement arrive in weeks, sometimes in a single day. That is why this has felt like the ground shifting instead of a normal cycle. You are not imagining it. Your nervous system is picking up on something real before your mind can name it. Eclipses speed up our evolution. They tend to bring the fated meeting, the ending you did not see coming, the door that opens out of nowhere, all of it pushing us closer to the path our soul actually wants, whether we asked for that or not. The key is to look for the signs and let them help you move forward into your soul's calling.

Your Nodes: The Organ You Didn't Know Was Working
Before we go further, it helps to understand the nodes themselves, because you're going to hear that phrase a lot this eclipse season. Think of your nodes like an organ you've never had to think about. It's just been quietly running in the background your whole life, doing its job whether you knew it existed or not.

Every birth chart has two of these points, sitting exactly opposite each other: the South Node and the North Node. Together they tell you the direction your soul is trying to move.

The South Node is what's familiar, and for a lot of my clients, it runs deeper than just this lifetime. It's often ancestral, patterns and coping mechanisms handed down before you ever had a say in them. Under stress, this is where you default, because it's what you already know how to do. There's real wisdom in it too. These are natural talents you walked in with. But there's a trap. Leaning on these patterns too hard, especially the inherited ones, keeps you looping instead of growing. It can have you carrying something that was never even yours to carry, just because it's familiar.

The North Node is the stretch. It's where you're being called to grow, and it usually feels a little unfamiliar, maybe even uncomfortable at first. That discomfort isn't a sign something's wrong. It just means you're growing somewhere new. It's your destiny magnet, pulling you into your purpose.
You don't have to leave your South Node behind. You bring those gifts with you, you just don't let them be the only place you ever stand. Once you know your own nodes, eclipses make a lot more sense. You can feel exactly what's being asked to fall away, and what's trying to come forward. If you don't know them, trust your inner guidance about what isn't serving you any longer on your expansion.

The Solar Eclipse in Leo

This particular Solar Eclipse matters even more than usual, because it is the first eclipse to land in Leo since 2019, and it is sitting right on the South Node. That combination is not asking you to perform your way through August. It is asking you to stop performing altogether. The South Node in Leo has a way of exposing anything you have been doing for applause, for approval, for the safety of being liked, and it is going to feel uncomfortable to release, because ego always fights to keep its stage. But underneath the performance is your True Self, the part of you that does not need an audience to know it is real. This eclipse is handing you the invitation to lead from that place instead.

The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces

Sixteen days later the Lunar Eclipse falls in Pisces, and Pisces, being water, dissolves. It softens the walls you built to protect yourself and asks you to trust what you cannot yet prove. Eclipses are not one day events either. They plant a seed now, and the energy of change ripples across the next six months, with the harvest showing up almost two years later. So what you choose or ignore in these weeks becomes a doorway, not a footnote.

The Retrogrades We're Holding

Now let's layer the retrogrades on top of that, because this is where it stops being personal and becomes global collective.

Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, May 6 through October 15, is the planet of death and rebirth moving through the sign of collective systems and the future. This is global. It is turning the mirror on where power has been misused and where the old structures have simply outlived themselves. What looks like collapse right now is not the end, it is composting. Something has to break down before the soil can hold something true again.

Neptune retrograde in Aries, July 7 through December 12, is stripping the fog off identity, and yet we've been feeling the fog brain along with it. Neptune is illusion and spirit, Aries is raw and self led, and together they are asking where you have been living someone else's version of who you are supposed to be, and where spiritual bypassing has kept you from doing the actual work. Being what others want you to be isn't your authenticity, it's a mask, and it's holding you back.

Saturn retrograde in Aries, July 26 through December 10, is forcing a reckoning with old definitions of strength. Saturn reminds me of the strict father. It is structure and consequence, and in Aries it is showing you exactly where your foundation was never as solid as you thought. Not to punish you. To show you where to rebuild for real this time.

Chiron: The Wounded Healer

And now Chiron joins them. Understanding Chiron helps explain why you might feel so sensitive right now. It moved into Taurus, an earth sign, on June 19, its first time there since the 1970s (a decade that carried major cultural shifts: the women's liberation movement, growing environmental awareness, the gay rights movement, the unraveling of the Watergate scandal, and the end of the Vietnam War). It is already asking us to look at our wounds around worth, security, and whether we believe we have to earn rest before we're allowed to receive it. On August 3, Chiron stationed retrograde while still in early Taurus, and on September 17 it will retrograde back across the line into Aries, a fire sign, the sign it has been healing us through since 2018. Chiron is known as the wounded healer for a reason. It does not create the wound, it reveals it, usually around abandonment, around feeling unloved, discarded, not enough. This retrograde is not punishment either. It is Chiron slowing down long enough to make sure the lesson actually lands before it hands you the next chapter. Chiron will not station direct until January 6, 2027, so this is a season, not a single day, giving all of us one more pass through the identity work Aries has been asking of us for eight years. When Chiron finally settles into Taurus for good next spring, we get to walk with the understanding and wisdom of the old wound instead of carrying it as a landmine of pain. Aries, fire, is transmuting that energy into Taurus, earth, fertile soil for our future.

Bringing It All Together

Here is how all these moving parts fit together. An eclipse asking you to drop the performance, three outer planets retrograde in the collective, and the wounded healer circling back through territory we thought we had already closed, all in the same season, is not a coincidence. Your world is being changed, and the collective world along with it. Everyone is on their own personal ride through this right now, being carried into a new version of themselves, one that lets us connect more deeply and spiritually with the unseen. It is the sky holding up a mirror to every outdated system we are living inside, personally and collectively, whether that is a relationship pattern, a belief about money, an old definition of power, or the actual structures of the world around us. We are watching the scaffolding come down in real time. That is uncomfortable, and it is also exactly what has to happen before a new era can hold any real weight.

How to Move Through It

What you choose to do with all of this is up to you, but here is what I suggest. Use the eclipse window to set your intention, not to force an outcome. Direct what you want to call in, and then hold it with an open hand, because when we grip too tight, we block the very flow that is trying to bring it to us. Give God room to move. Since this eclipse falls in Leo, expect your heart to be more open than usual. Let it be. Move from feeling instead of staying stuck in your head trying to figure everything out. And pay attention not just to what happens on eclipse day, but to what unfolds across the whole month. These are karmic events bringing balance. If something big shifts, trust that it is part of the path, even if you cannot see the whole staircase yet. If you are out of balance in life, it will reveal with a heavy hand where. You can download my free eclipse worksheet at karollee.net/free-resources to help you direct what you want to create in this new energy. Keep it simple and manageable.

When the Pisces eclipse arrives on the 28th, you may feel more sensitive, more porous, more tuned in to the energy around you than usual. Spend time near water if you can, take lots of baths and showers to help move you through this energy. Let yourself create. Be gentle with yourself in a way you would not think twice about offering someone else.

Energy does not sit still. It moves whether you direct it or not. If you do not decide where your own growth is going, your circumstances will decide it for you, and that almost always looks like something falling apart before you understand why. So here is the big key to all of this: instead of asking what is happening to me, ask what am I ready to build. Feel where it lands in your body. Come back to it daily, or as often as you can, through this eclipse wave, not just once. Review your intention sheet often. Six months from now you will be standing at the beginning of a great harvest of what you planted right now, whether you planted it on purpose or not.

Choose. Direct the energy, because the sky is not waiting for permission, and neither is your life.
​
Walk gently,

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse March 2025:
The Ebb and Flow of Change

Life feels like a mystery novel right now, doesn’t it? Just when you think you’ve figured out the plot, eclipses come along and throw in a wildcard, leaving us all glued to the next chapter.

This March, the universe delivers a powerful Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo, layered with not one but two retrogrades—Venus and Mercury. Talk about cosmic multitasking!

Eclipses: The Cosmic Catalysts for Change
Eclipses are always turning points, a push to evolve, whether we like it or not. But this one? It’s asking us to look at the messy, imperfect parts of life and find the beauty in letting go.

For those wondering why eclipses hold so much weight, here’s the deal: they act like a divine reset button. A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow over the Moon. This symbolizes endings, revelations, and illuminating what’s been hidden.

This particular eclipse on March 14 falls in Virgo, a sign that thrives on order, structure, and practical solutions. But here’s the plot twist: this is a South Node eclipse, meaning its focus is on release.

Virgo’s shadow side--perfectionism, overthinking, and self-criticism—may come up for review. The real question becomes: Where have you been holding on too tightly and need to let go?

Two Retrogrades: Venus and Mercury’s Cosmic Dance

As if the eclipse energy wasn’t enough, Venus and Mercury retrogrades add their own layers to the mix, creating a time of reflection and recalibration.

Venus Retrograde in Aries (March 1 - April 12)
Venus governs love, relationships, finances, beauty, and values. In fiery Aries, this retrograde asks: Are your relationships aligned with your truth? Are you chasing something from ego or authenticity? Are your financial choices rooted in genuine self-worth or external validation? Aries energy can be impulsive, so this retrograde is a universal pause button, an invitation to reassess before acting.

Mercury Retrograde in Aries (March 15 - April 7)
Mercury rules communication, technology, thinking, and decision-making. As it moves backward in Aries, it asks: Are you rushing ahead without a clear plan? Do your words reflect your truth, or are they reactionary? Is there unfinished business that needs revisiting? Rather than just causing delays, Mercury Retrograde reroutes us, refining our direction before we charge ahead. 

Together, Venus and Mercury Retrograde create a powerful reset, pushing us to align our values (Venus) with our words and actions (Mercury).

This Eclipse Spotlights… Daily Routines – Are your habits supporting your growth, or are you repeating old cycles? Perfectionism & Overthinking – Virgo loves to fix things, but some things don’t need fixing—they need releasing. Health & Wellbeing – Virgo rules the nervous system, so prioritizing self-care is key as emotions heighten. Take a walk, bath, exercise, do for you. With this strong Virgo energy, you might feel the urge to organize, declutter, or overanalyze everything. The trick? Balance practicality with surrender.
 
The Push and Pull of Eclipse Energy -what does it look like?

Imagine this eclipse as a road trip without a map. You know you’re headed somewhere important, but the path isn’t clear.

Venus Retrograde might make you question whether you packed the right gear (relationships, finances, self-worth).

Mercury Retrograde throws in detours and delays, forcing you to rethink plans.

Every stop along the way asks, what do I need to let go of to moving forward!

For example:
An unexpected bill might shift your financial priorities (Venus Retrograde).

A miscommunication with a partner could open the door to deeper understanding (Mercury Retrograde).

Old self-judgments might rise up, only to be lovingly released (Virgo Eclipse).

This period highlights the tension between structure (Virgo) and surrender (retrogrades), urging us to embrace the unknown while staying grounded.

This Eclipse Isn’t Just About This Moment…
It sets the tone for the next six months, with lingering effects for two years.

Time to ask yourself: What habits, beliefs, or patterns am I ready to release? How can I trust the process, even when the road ahead isn’t clear? Ride the Wave of This Cosmic Dance Cleanse & Declutter – Virgo thrives on organization, so clear out physical and mental clutter. Pause Before Acting – With both Venus and Mercury retrograde, avoid rash decisions or big commitments. Prioritize Self-Care – Rest, nourish, and ground yourself to counteract nervous energy. Embrace the Unknown – Endings bring new beginnings, even if we don’t see them yet. This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo is a call to release, reflect, and recalibrate. It’s intense, messy—much like cleaning out the junk closet—but if you allow it, it can be beautifully transformative.

As the dust settles, you might find yourself feeling lighter, freer, and more aligned with your authentic self. Which we all strive for!

Trust the process, even when it’s uncomfortable.
The universe knows what it’s doing.

You don’t have to figure it all out right now—just take the next step, and its a great time to book a session with me!

With hope, all things are possible, have a hopeful day!

​Here we are again—Mercury went retrograde on November 25th and will remain in this phase until December 15th, marking the final retrograde of the year. This planetary cycle, which occurs three to four times annually, touches all of us in one way or another. While no one gets a hall pass, the intensity of its impact varies. This period of “re-everything”—reflecting, revisiting, and recalibrating—arrives as a cosmic slowdown designed to help us reset and grow.

As a natural-born intuitive, I explore planetary movements, like Mercury retrograde, through an energetic lens. My approach—often referred to as intuitive astrology—steps away from traditional astrological frameworks, focusing instead on how planetary energies create opportunities for emotional, spiritual, and personal alignment and introspection.

For me, Mercury retrograde feels like a cosmic “check-in”—a time to pause, reflect, and revisit areas of life that need attention. It’s a chance to make adjustments, release what no longer serves us, and evolve beyond outdated patterns. That said, it’s not always smooth sailing. Mercury retrograde reminds me of middle school parent-teacher conferences: your progress is evaluated, areas for improvement are highlighted, and you leave with a mix of “What don’t I know?” and “What’s next?” lingering in your mind.

This retrograde unfolds in Sagittarius, a sign of expansion, exploration, and transformation. When Mercury retrogrades in a specific zodiac sign, it doesn’t just shake up its usual domains—such as communication, technology, and travel—but also amplifies the lessons and themes tied to that sign.

Mercury governs our thoughts, communication styles, and the way we connect with others. It also rules technology, travel, contracts, and anything involving moving parts. During retrograde, disruptions in these areas are common: missed emails, tech glitches, travel delays, or miscommunications that uncover deeper truths. Mercury retrograde challenges us to slow down, rethink, and approach life’s details with fresh eyes.

With Sagittarius in play, this retrograde takes on an adventurous yet reflective tone. Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, is linked to higher learning, spiritual growth, cultural exploration, and rebuilding. This energy invites us to reassess our beliefs, broaden our perspectives, and lay the groundwork for future expansion. Known for its optimism and free-spirited nature, Sagittarius can sometimes stir tensions with its bluntness. If conflicts arise, step back, take a breath, and seek the lesson rather than adding fuel to the fire.

This is also a perfect time to reflect on how far you’ve come in 2024. Commit to a more optimistic outlook, focus on the journey rather than the destination, and find ways to embrace humor and lightness, even in challenging moments. If you can learn to laugh through life’s twists and turns, you’re already winning.

Sagittarius governs structures that promote growth and progress, such as skyscrapers, transportation systems, and engines of innovation. This retrograde encourages us to reflect on the foundations of our personal and collective lives, asking how we can rebuild them stronger for the future. It’s a powerful moment to realign with your goals and prepare for meaningful transformation as we head into 2025.

While Mercury retrograde often brings delays and disruptions, it’s ultimately a gift—a chance to slow down, reassess, and realign. Missteps and challenges may arise, but they are all part of the process. Use this time to check in with yourself, revisit your intentions, and embrace the lessons the cosmos have to offer. With the right mindset, this retrograde can pave the way for growth, expansion, and a more purposeful year ahead.
 
With hope, all things are possible, have a hopeful day!

Before diving into the incredible cosmic shifts happening during this eclipse season, I want to acknowledge that even I’ve felt the weight of these energies. The delay in posting this was a reflection of the powerful shifts that have been stirring up for all of us, including myself. It’s a reminder that we are all moving through this energy together, and sometimes, the universe asks us to pause, reflect, and realign before moving forward....And just so you know, I’ve still got my seatbelt on—it’s not over yet! ~~~~~

The September 17, 2024 Lunar Eclipse in Pisces and the October 2, 2024 Solar Eclipse in Libra are expected to create profound emotional and mental shifts.

As we enter this thrilling eclipse season of 2024, the cosmos has been stirring, and many of you may have already felt the shifts over the past few weeks. This heightened energy stems from the September 17 super full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces, followed by the October 2 New Moon Solar eclipse in Libra. Together, these celestial events serve as powerful catalysts for transformation—helping us break free from stagnation, confront deep emotional issues, and realign with our true life paths.

Why Eclipses Are Here to Help Us Move Forward

This might mean releasing limiting beliefs, letting go of outdated relationships, or removing habits that no longer serve us. Change can be uncomfortable, but it’s a vital part of evolving into a higher version of ourselves. These eclipses remind us that we’re here to expand and grow.

The purpose of eclipses is to push us forward on our life timeline, encouraging us to break free from old patterns that keep us stuck. These cosmic shifts are the universe's way of guiding us toward personal and spiritual growth. Think of them as divine nudges—whether we’re ready or not, these moments offer opportunities for deep inner transformation.
Breaking Patterns and Embracing Growth

Our soul’s purpose on Earth is to learn, evolve, and grow, yet many of us become trapped in cycles that limit our expansion. During eclipse seasons, we are given the chance to reflect on what has been holding us back. These celestial moments encourage us to break free from repetitive negative behaviors, stagnant situations, and limiting beliefs.

The truth is, life isn’t meant to be comfortable forever. We’re here to evolve, explore new perspectives, and open ourselves to fresh opportunities. Whether you’re resisting change or embracing it, this eclipse season offers a cosmic reset—a time to reflect, release, and realign with your soul's purpose.

God’s Design for Growth Through Celestial Events

From the moment God created the stars, He had a plan to keep the world in motion, and eclipses play a pivotal role in that design. Eclipses are not random but exist to ensure we don’t become stagnant. They help us continue growing and striving for greater things. Eclipses are the universe’s way of urging us toward change—even when it's uncomfortable.

As we move through this eclipse season, know that these shifts are meant to serve your highest good. Allow the energy to guide you, make necessary changes, and trust the process. Just like the stars, you are meant to shine, and sometimes it takes a cosmic push to bring you to the next phase of your journey.

Impact of the September 17 Lunar Eclipse in Pisces  

Pisces Energy: Pisces is deeply connected to emotions, intuition, and spirituality. This lunar eclipse may heighten sensitivity, encouraging introspection and emotional healing. It’s a perfect time to release emotional baggage, old patterns, or beliefs that have been weighing you down.  

Emotional Breakdowns and Breakthroughs: Since this is a super full moon eclipse, the energies are amplified. You may experience emotional breakdowns or breakthroughs. It’s a cosmic invitation to address unresolved issues in relationships or your emotional world.  

​Dreams and Intuition: Pisces rules dreams, the subconscious, and spiritual insight. Pay attention to your dreams and intuitive hits during this time—they could carry important messages about what you need to release and where you should focus your energy next. Remember, breakdowns often pave the way for breakthroughs, bringing emotional healing and spiritual awakening.

Solar Eclipse on October 2, 2024: A New Moon Eclipse: 
New moons are all about setting intentions, and with solar eclipse energy, this process is supercharged. It’s a powerful time to plant new seeds in your life, whether in relationships, career, or personal growth.  

Sudden Changes: Solar eclipses often bring sudden and sometimes unexpected changes, particularly in stagnant areas of your life. These shifts might feel jarring at first, but they often provide clarity and redirection.

Reflect and Set Intentions: Use this solar eclipse energy to self-reflect. Ask yourself if your current path aligns with your life’s purpose. It’s an excellent time to course-correct and set new intentions, especially if you’ve been feeling stuck or uninspired.   Why Eclipses Are Necessary for Growth  

Celestial Push for Evolution: Eclipses aren’t random cosmic events; they serve as universal nudges, pushing us toward our highest potential. The discomfort they bring is a necessary component of growth and evolution.  

Breaking Free from Limiting Patterns: Eclipses encourage us to release limiting beliefs, relationships, and situations that no longer support our growth. This season’s theme is all about reflection, release, and renewal.  

Embracing Change: Change can be difficult, but resisting the cosmic energy of an eclipse will only create more friction. Lean into the discomfort, knowing that the universe is guiding you toward your highest good.

How to Harness Eclipse Energy

Reflect and Meditate: Take time for deep reflection. Journaling or meditating on what you need to release is especially potent during the lunar eclipse.

Set New Intentions: The energy of these eclipses is planting seeds that will influence the next two years of your life. Use this time to write out your intentions for the next six months. Ask yourself what you truly want to manifest over this period, as the effects of these eclipses are long-lasting.  

Download Your Free Six-Month Intention Worksheet: I've created a six-month intention worksheet to help you set focused, clear intentions for this transformative time. Click HERE to download the worksheet and start planting your seeds of growth today.  

Stay Grounded: With heightened emotions and energy, grounding practices like walking in nature, breathing exercises, stretching, or yoga can help you maintain balance.  

Journal: Consider journaling on these questions: ‘What am I ready to release?’ and ‘Where am I being called to grow?’ This can clarify the emotional shifts you need to embrace.

April 30 brings a new moon, a partial solar eclipse, which starts in Taurus and ends in Scorpio. Here are a few things you might want to know.

Eclipse seasons push us forward for the six months; within four months, it's the placement and time of change. From today April 30, a partial Lunar eclipse until May 15, the partial solar eclipse is the "window" of time for us to make our clear intentions of what we want to create, bring forward, change, and do.

During this time what we focus on will expand and be with us for the next six months, choose wisely!

I encourage you to focus on gratitude which will help pull you out of the pits of looking at your past and what you believe has been holding you back, and get on the racetrack of looking and moving forward! Reminder, this eclipse energy stays with us until October, when the next partial solar eclipse begins. 

Taurus is about our sense of value and worth. We are focused on what brings us security in abundance. I am glad to say it also brings more relaxed and social energy; for those with brain fog good news it helps bring clarity and assists with follow-through, and with this influence, you won't want to engage in challenging situations, people, or drama. It's time to enjoy. I am personally over here doing the happy dance!  

This "window" I spoke of gives us the time to plant the seeds, bringing roots in wealth, stability, growth, and beauty. It also helps us release whatever has been taking up space and time to eliminate to grow these new seeds for our future foundation. 

It is understanding and acknowledging what we value, how we bring value in, and further building stability in our world. To create and bring value into our lives, we first must know we are of value. We must be the vibration we seek to bring in. Eclipses bring a powerful intention time! 

I encourage you to take some time from today before May 15 and write at least 3-5 intentions in the pillar areas of life. Self, relationships, health, business, finances, spirituality, and community. 

The partial eclipse is in Taurus and falls in a different astrology house where it will encourage and affect us, depending on your personal natal astrological birth chart. If you have your natal chart, you can look this up, consult an astrologer for more information and the other planetary influences.

With your intentions, if you want extra support, you may consider scheduling a session with me to help gain insights on how to define and focus on where to place your energy, and I can assist you with putting action steps in place. You can also email me your intentions so I can hold their energy with you, for one of my many gifts is being able to transmute and infuse energy. It's much like adding miracle growth for future growth! 

I want to add a note: Mercury goes retrograde from May 10 to June 2, which is the planet of glitches, delays in communication, technology, and transportation, and can add unpredictable energy and slow things down for you to receive what is for your highest good. Unfortunately, it's not always what we want. Mercury Retrograde allows the time to revisit financial goals and dive back into what has been neglected. Read the books that have been piling up, and discuss how you can improve communication with your partner. Still, most importantly, it helps face the shadow side that has been put off, in the patterns created, self-resistance, and getting right with yourself by breaking the self-created restraints that have been holding you back. It's time to make the changes you've been putting off. 

Eclipses are primarily positive for our expansion but let me remind you; they are unpredictable as well. So I encourage you to be flexible and go with the flow. A way to understand eclipses, seeing it as a computer upgrade, we have to be patient and wait for the download. We are not entirely sure what it will look like after it is done, some components may be deleted or need to go, and the new ones will become user-friendly to make life easier for where we are going!  Happy Expansion! 

We have entered a time of solid planet influences that challenge us to let go and a vital time for personal and business expansion. 

May 26 was a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius. Full moons bring endings, closure, and decisions helping us prepare for the new. This full moon in Sagittarius, which is fun-loving and free-spirited, and all about breaking free of the past, the negative, and limitations. It is the first door we walk through, entering the hallway where we have the opportunity to map out our intentions for the next six months. 
 
June 10 is the New Moon Solar eclipse. New Moons bring beginnings, and it reveals the door that we walk through exiting the hallway and our past, while having clarity of what we want to create for the rest of the year. 

This eclipse season is about letting go, and changing old patterns, beliefs, and habits limiting one from moving forward. Where are you not showing up for yourself, taking action, or ignoring what needs to be completed, fixed, corrected, or eliminated. This window between eclipses is where you decide what is helpful, and essential fitting all your needs for the new journey! 

In my Life and Leadership Coaching work, I task all my clients during this window of eclipse season to write realistic intentions of what they want to map out to create for Business, Finances, Relationships, Health, and Self by June 24 Full Moon that brings closure. It is important to be clear in these areas before walking through the New Moon Solar Eclipse door! 

 I encourage you to make your list of intentions by June 22, 2021, put it out to the Universe by emailing yourself. If you like an extra boost of support with confidentiality and energy in creating them, you can copy me at [email protected] 

May 29 - June 22 Mercury Retrograde. This Mercury Retrograde is smack dab in the middle of the eclipses, which makes it beneficial in helping us to dig deep and brings energy in creating ease in moving forward. It will test our patience with communication, technology, travel, contracts, anything that can stall us. It is time for planning, and negotiations, doing technology research but not purchasing electronics or anything with moving parts. It is time to "RE" everything. RE-think, RE-do Re-lease, RE-connect, Re-evaluate, it is time to look into what needs to change. I recommend holding off on taking action until after Mercury turns direct and eclipse energy has calmed down around July 4th.  

Before we can move forward into the new, we need to see what limits or brings resistance from the past. Where we are going, those limitations will no longer serve.  I suggest waiting until June 22 to finalize or revise your intentions for the Mercury Retrograde may have affected, ended or brought new ideas and clarity around them. 

The end of May and all of June is the time of creating by mapping out your future and change the narrative where needed, If not, the Universe will decide and make the changes for you! 

Happy Creating!

MESSAGE FROM KAROL LEE
It has only felt like a minute, but in reality, it has been over a year since my last Intuitive Astrology sharing. During that time, I continued to upgrade spiritually, deep cleaning my life for the changes needed bringing a stronger divine connection, gratitude, and humbleness. 

This time brought moving to a new home, losing loved ones, finding love, expanding my business. It was a time to be mindful of my spiritual practice to serve better those who sought my insights with life and leadership coaching.

​ I am grateful to be sharing with you again!
