This episode is my version of a hug to those who think too much, feel too much, and still somehow choose to believe in magic.
I woke up at 5 a.m., staring blankly at the window where the old oak tree in my yard stands, bare-limbed and resolute as always. I find her so utterly beautiful.
Its branches, stripped of leaves, look like veins against the colorless cold sky. Sprawling, tangled, alive in it’s own emptiness.
And a voice inside my head (that sounds much older) croaks back at me:
“You’re not okay. And okay, all at the same time.”
The voice is hoarse, like it’s been inflamed from years of suppression. It does not sound like my mother’s, though for years it did. No, this one is older. Much older.
It carries the weight of something ancient and immovable, something that has witnessed countless revolutions, countless endings, countless misguided attempts to outpace the inevitable cycles of life.
And when I close my eyes, I feel it.
The voice is coming from the oak tree itself.
Channeling My Yard’s Oak Tree
I see you, Michelle.
Every morning, you stare at me. Watching the planets shift between the death of Pisces and the restless birth of Aries. You call yourself a tragic optimist, and you call this era a Tower moment.
But you already know…this didn’t happen overnight.
You humans. We. are watching a world reset. This is not a glitch in the matrix. This is a collapse and a restructuring so profound that even the air carries the charge of it.
The unease. The inhalations that are shallower, the collective nervous system bracing for impact.
I feel it through the exhales of the humans around me.
Humans. They are funny in a way that they always think they are separate from history. Until they are not. I have stood here for 250 years, long before you c alled this land The United States of America.
Long before the land beneath you had borders, long before men drew lines in the soil and called them nations. I have seen people rise and fall, fight and love, build and burn.
Human history has shown this.
From the Holocaust.
From Pol Pot’s regime.
From Gaza.
From Ukraine.
From Tiananmen Square.
You may not remember. But your past lives remember. Your ancestors remember.
Genocide is not new. Greed is not new. I have seen people slaughtered for this land long before your modern wars, before your digital battles of ideology. I have seen the human heart stretch itself to impossible capacities of both violence and love. I have witnessed your kind at your highest and your lowest frequencies, spiraling, playing them out like a song stuck on repeat.
And now? You feel it in your bones. The unraveling.
You don’t need me to tell you that a shift is happening. You don’t need another headline to remind you. Institutions that once seemed unshakable are buckling under their own weight. The systems built on control and punishment are rotting from the inside out. You call it the economy, politics, power. But I call it the weather of the universe.
Storms come. Structures fall. Life will always continue.
And yet, you wait. humans wait. Holding your breath. Hoping for the world to course-correct, for something external to signal that it’s safe to move forward.
But here’s the truth you already know: the world is not going to get better anytime soon. At least not in the way you’ve been conditioned to expect. Not in the way that restores a false sense of certainty. Know that destruction always comes before the rebirth.
The old paradigm, the one that worships control, force, and rigid structures is collapsing. The way we’ve been taught to approach life and success itself is no longer compatible with what’s emerging.
We’ve spent generations living in a system that rewards aggression and punishment, where security is tied to external validation, and where effort is only seen as legitimate if it’s accompanied by suffering.
But there’s something else coming. A new frequency. A different way of being.
This new frequency that’s emerging from all this chaos is flow. Feminine energy. Receptivity. This energy will hold you. Show you how to move. When to be still. It is already here. Don’t be distracted by the noise.
Stop tethering your emotions to external chaos.
Stop waiting for permission to thrive.
You are one of the many architects of the new world. And it is being built through your every choice, every belief, thought, creation, connection.
Every frequency shift, every refusal to bow to fear.
My oak tree conversation ends abruptly.
I hear Yuto’s small, insistent paws tapping into my bedroom. He meows at me, impatient. Unbothered by the fate of humanity. Existentialism. Just hungry for breakfast.
I pour his kibble into a ceramic bowl and step outside with my coffee, the morning air crisp and full of something I can’t quite name. The tree stands before me, silent, present, knowing.
And I realize: I am still here, too.
Not waiting. Not wishing. Not bracing for the future.
Just here. Just breathing.
Just remembering what it means to belong to something bigger than fear.
The world is resetting.
And so am I.
Personal Reflections Updates
This month has been quite intense. Not just in the world at large, but in my own home, in my own mind. There’s so much heaviness. But also movement.
I can feel clarity breaking through the heaviness.
And I’ve noticed something strange. Something that feels almost paradoxical.
The more I see the world unravel, the more my creativity vibrates stronger.
The more old structures dismantle, the more clarity I feel in my own work. When I witness struggle, collapse, and uncertainty, my will to create, to connect, to contribute my part in humanity grows sharper.
I don’t just want to observe history…I want to help others shift their timelines within it.
I want to guide people in making empowered choices even in the face of fear. Offering, contributing ideas, pathways forward in a world that is still learning how to rebuild itself.
Less than a year ago, I started this Substack.
I remember the sensation of treading water, pushing against my own resistance, wrestling with writer’s block.
I tapped into the energy of Aries. A new journey. A willingness to move before feeling ready. And I wondered if I’d ever find my rhythm here with Saturn in Pisces transiting my 10th house…
Now, as I write this, I’m just one subscriber away from reaching my first 100 paid subscribers.
I feel affirmed.
I feel deserving. I’m so grateful. I also feel lucky.
It’s a strange mix. To recognize both the work and the grace in getting here. But more than anything, I feel an overwhelming sense of joy and resonance with this platform.
And I know this feeling well. I remember this feeling from my many past beginnings.
The first time I read a birth chart for a paid client while we were in COVID lockdown, my hands slightly trembling as I delivered my first interpretation as an official astrologer.
The first time I launched my beta group for Embody U in late 2021, unsure if anyone would find meaning in what I was building.
The first time I realized that my work didn’t have to fit into someone else’s structure. It could be my own vision, my own altar, expansive and fluid, deeply personal and widely resonant all at once.
It’s always the same sensation, like surfacing from the amniotic fluid of Pisces and stepping into the raw initiation of Aries.
Like something I planted long ago is finally breathing.
And as someone with a Sagittarius Sun and North Node, I’ve learned to pay attention to these moments. To the first flickers of luck, instinct and opportunity when they appear on the horizon.
This month, when my higher self whispered that I would be releasing an Activate Your Luck Workshop, I listened. I quieted all the Virgo inner chatter, all the doubt and over-analysis, and I moved with the energy instead of against it.
And now sitting in the middle of the storm of this eclipse energy, I can see that we need to share these principles now more than ever.
Because when people think of luck, they often scoff.
They dismiss it as randomness. They tie it to privilege. They think it belongs to other people.
But I don’t.
I not only want to explore this with you in our upcoming workshop on March 27th, I want to show you how to recognize luck when it presents itself, even in the middle of a Tower moment.
How to cultivate it. How to step into what your soul wants to receive in this lifetime.
Because maybe you haven’t lost your luck. Maybe you’ve just forgotten how to see it. Especially with all the distortions going on around the world trying to bring your frequency down as a means to control you.
This is why activating luck, aligned manifestations into material reality is such a powerful antidote, especially if you’re feeling ungrounded.
When we set our intentions, our energetic frequency, and our actions in alignment with what we’re here to strengthen and receive, the universe responds.
Through messages. Through people. Through situations that invite us to jump in.

I’ll be sharing more soon. But for now, I just want to say, thank you. For being here, for reading, for co-creating this space with me.
We are all walking through the dark, holding a candle to the vision of what we’re building.
And the next door is already waiting to be opened.
