Need some good juju & maybe a reading or some astrology insight...

The last month+ has been a huge shift and I know the eclipses helped move things as well.

My dad passed, literally 12 hours before the anniversary of mom's passing last year. big numerology in that whole thing, for sure. They were married for 60 years and the last year of having to work with my sister to manage Dad's care and then keeping vigil by his side in the last days was really a bonding experience. We had never been this close, so mom did some magic there as well.

Now that both parents are gone, we're down to the details of cleaning and selling the house, life insurance, etc.
I had been thinking of making a big change in my life, but now I see it's not gonna happen "down the road" but by the fall most likely!

I've been seeing a grief counselor for mom's sudden passing and then again when Dad started failing. One thing that their deaths have given me is freedom. I realize that life is far too important to live for punching the clock and weekend living. I have bigger fish to fry and things I want to create for myself.

So with that said, the first chunk has dropped and I can finally quit my job!

Then I can work on this house to get ready to sell, and start packing for the next big move.
I'm so excited, and I know this is part of what I've been seeing in my card and runes for the past 2 months. I just had to keep doing the inner work, and showing up for my sister and myself in dealing with the memories unearthed in the cleaning stuff out.

It's still a long haul, but I feel this amazing sense of release in knowing that the Universe wasn't kidding when it said good stuff was coming through the rough stuff... I continue to practice gratitude and stepping up so that I can easily walk into this next phase of my life.

The last year has been hard in many ways. I was very close to mom, and her stroke was a surprise and it took her over a week to pass and I was devastated. Then having to worry about Dad when his dementia took a nosedive because he was truly lost without her. There have been many tears and sleepless nights, nightmares, etc. And I know I'm still not out of the woods with Dad grief, but it looks different when you see it coming rather than being blindsided. Thank Goddess for my grief counselor, journaling, and the fact I have to qualms about having an altar to my ancestors and lighting candles and talking to mom etc... Being able to see things from a bigger spiritual place has definitely helped.

my parents would pass within 6 months of each other, and they did: to the day (speaking of numerology!) My father also passed with dementia, I totally understand the sense of loss, which with dementia feels like a pre-loss ...

in your life.

Since it is clear that you are open to receiving information and guidance this way, more will continue guiding you, including the person to whom you sell your house. Deep breaths, my friend, and cheers!
