She helps us understand the collective energies coming up this week, how we can work with the nodes to receive guidance, and how these transits are inviting us to call our power back through deeper connection with our ancestors.
Inez also did a reading for both of us to help illustrate some of the energies we're moving through. We were both blown away at how seen and validated we felt in receiving Inez's wisdom. It felt like she'd been intimately walking with us since the beginning of this eclipse season. And our charts were great examples of how impactful the eclipse energies can be--calling us to let go, stretch, grow, and expand.
