I shift between posting the forecast or moving towards reflecting on the days past, so as not to intentionally manipulate an experience by “foreseeing” it. There is some truth to manifestation, but I really believe whatever resonates is instinctively obvious, and whatever doesn’t can just as easily be discarded. Regardless, life should always be approached with a clear head and solid footing.

A forecast is here for you when you’re curious about checking in with what you’re experiencing. I find anything astrological/philosophical to be incredibly grounding as I navigate my own inner life. Even if it might not line up exactly to a T, there’s an evolving language that helps me engage with it one on one.
