“Take a deep breath. Close your eyes,” I say. The room is rich with a quality I can’t fully describe. A warm buzz not unlike alcohol, but there isn’t a drop of it, only 10 strangers turned friends in a Zoom room.

“Remember how you first felt, coming into this space? We were so nervous. Quiet. Unsure of what to expect. Notice how you feel now: Warm. Fuzzy. Connected. Know that this is possible, in our everyday lives — when we choose to let each other in.” (A Scorpio season message if there ever was one.)

We come out of the meditation. I look at the chat; it is teeming with love. One message in particular sums it all up:

It’s been two days since my first ever community circle for The Asian Astrologer, and I’m still buzzing. I used to do this work professionally, but this circle felt like a watershed moment — bringing everything I’d cultivated over the past 7 years into terrible, scintillating clarity: I am a facilitator. I am a writer. I am an astrologer. But more than anything, I am a community builder. 💞

This is the community I have built, over the past 11 months of reels and posts and comments and DMs. I have no idea how but it’s manifested into this: a beautiful, eclectic mix of people from all corners of the globe, gathered on a Zoom call on a Thursday to cry, laugh, and share. And if that isn’t my purpose, my power, staring me smack dab in the face, I don’t know what is. ︴

We are on the precipice of our last eclipse of the year: A partial lunar eclipse in Taurus on October 28th, at 4:24PM ET. This eclipse in Taurus marks the ✨final checkpoint✨ of a two-year long journey. I always love charting the course of an eclipse cycle, and looking back at the very end: it is gratifying to see the bigger picture; how all the little twists & turns in-between led up to this very moment.

Here’s a very truncated version of my own eclipse journey, based on these dates:

• In Nov 2021, at the start of this cycle: I was diagnosed with PCOS, prioritized work above self care, and was terrified of being “seen” for my content online.

• In April 2022, I embarked on a 100-day creative challenge. It taught me to fall in love with imperfection, the act of creation. In May, I became estranged from my sister, which I write extensively about here.

• In Nov 2022, I came out of the spiritual closet. I committed to doing Astrology full time. Most importantly, I reconciled with my sister. If I had any doubt about astrological timing before, I was a convert now. ꩜

• In April 2023: I received a scholarship to graduate from Astrology school. In May, I finally found the courage to launch this motherfreaking Substack!! 🤸‍♀️

October 2023, two years later. What has changed? What has stayed the same?

Pretty much every single thing in my life is different, primarily because my work now is different, and by different I mean I no longer wake up at 10:30am in a depressive funk because I dread going to work but have no idea how to quit because I am the literal founder of the company.

I thought becoming an astrologer would mean needing to change fundamental parts of me. I thought I’d need to meditate for 24 hours or douse myself in palo santo or exist exclusively in spandex. But I’m still ridiculously, embarrassingly human. I sometimes rush to pee one minute before a reading starts because I get too nervous. I have undiagnosed ADHD. I would much rather take a walk than do a hundred sadhanas. I still get stressed thinking about transits and progressions. I fear I will never gain the technical fluency of my mentors and inspirations.

But for all that is stressful about my life now, one thing I can say with absolute certainty is that it is fulfilling. I am fulfilled. I get to work closely with beautiful, kind, creative people who hold space for absolute strangers on a Thursday. I get to connect with people 1:1, and connect them to their stars. I get to make funky reels with crazy edits and use said reels to entice said beautiful, creative people to book said 1:1 time with me. And most importantly, I get to sit in bed with 639Hz music playing in the background on a Saturday night, writing this to you.

It might sound gratuitous. I promise you, it’s not.

Because this is my life now. And while I am not delirious with joy or happiness or peace or calm every single moment of my life, at this particular moment, I am filled with a special kind of gratitude. Because I get to be here with you, and that is all the work I am being called to do.

✷ COSMIC CHECK-IN ✷ I’d love for you to look back, and reflect on these past two years. The eclipses were in Taurus and Scorpio from Nov 2021 to Oct 2023. This lights up a particular axis of life for you based on your Rising sign ⇣

• For example: The timeline I shared above was specific to my Rising sign. I’m a Cancer rising, which means Scorpio rules my 5th house (creativity) & Taurus my 11th house (community). Deepening my relationship to my creativity and letting go of the fears I held around being seen (Scorpio SN) helped me find my ‘people’ and a bigger sense of purpose in society (Taurus NN).

• Looking back, I realize what made me so unfulfilled in my first company was the lack of creativity, spirituality and community in my day-to-day work 🌿 The eclipses in my 5th & 11th house came along to set me on the right path.

Okay friends, I hope that was helpful ⇣ Let’s dive in!
