The In-Between and New Moon in Gemini

Hello Beauties,
I hope you are enjoying this beautiful, long holiday weekend. I have had a lot of people talking about being in-between worlds. I can totally relate. We are experiencing the in-between, the pause between letting go and becoming. Where life feels a little uneasy, yet you know something is occurring at a low simmer that you have always wanted, but never expected.
The in-between, where you are letting go of the old life you have outgrown and anticipate your new life that hasn't fully manifested physically yet. We are in the unknown. Where nothing is constant, yet everything is sacred. You are not broken, only dismantling what no longer serves you.
There has been a lot of energy coming into the earth lately that has caused a lot of disorientation. It is all good. Give yourself more appreciation, more patience, more love to create more moments of pure happiness and joy. You are the greatest project you will ever work on. Restart. Reset. Refocus. As many times as you need. You are a miracle in the making. There is reverence in each moment.
Sit with what is and what you are experiencing to see if it is what you really want moving forward. It is more important than ever to ground yourself and honor your down time by going shoeless in the grass, watching the sunrise and sunset, anything that connects you with nature and your sweet self. What do you need to cultivate or release to move forward?
Take inventory on where you are engaging in things that are no longer serving you. Be aware of where you are putting your energy and see if it elevates or decreases. This is your new life forming while you're transforming and shedding the residue of your old life, yet it is taking time with lessons, curiosity, patience and allowing. You can say all day that you are ready for this new life of yours, but if you haven't yet fully embodied the feeling of expansion, faith, vulnerability and gratitude for what is occurring, it may take a while, but it will happen. Nothing that is meant for you will ever pass you by.
Get curious. Take your energy back and find activities that elevate and help you feel connected to that life you deserve. You are no longer getting distracted by your old life, but you are now feeling more of your new self, more elevated and empowered. Work with what's available and how you want to feel in the future. Whatever lights you up and brings you joy and allows hours to pass while you are in that space. Do more of that.
This New moon in Gemini, happening tonight on the 26th, is a whole other shift in our transformation. It encourages us to welcome change and reconstruct the way we communicate with ourselves and the new reality around us. Pay attention to the stories you tell yourself, are they true, necessary or even kind. Sit with your intentions, lean into the pause and stillness and get curious with what feels good and lights you up as opposed to what drains you.
The incredible Stefanos Sinfandos @stefanossifandos, from Austin, writes beautifully about the in-between...
What no one talks about when you start healing...
You get honest with yourself
You stop chasing the chaos, the drama, the temporary highs.
You stop people-pleasing
You stop over-explaining
You stop betraying your own needs just to stay "safe" in relationships
and at first...that feels powerful.
Life you finally found your footing.
You feel proud of the growth, the boundaries, the awareness.
But then comes this part
the in-between.
That part no one warns you about
where everything familiar feels foreign.
You don't quite relate to your old life, but your new one hasn't fully taken shape either.
You miss the noise, somethings even though you know it was hurting you.
You crave connection, but your standards have changed.
You're not who you were...but you're not quite who you're becoming yet either.
It's not a relapse. It's not failure.
It's the cocoon.
The pause between the letting go and the becoming.
And it's where most people give up or go back to what's comfortable.
Because they think something's wrong with them for feeling lost here.
But nothing's wrong with you.
This is what growth actually looks like when it's real.
Mess, tender, quiet, brave, self to be loved.
You are seen.
If you're in this season...keep going
You're building a life that doesn't require you to abandon yourself.
If you are ready to get curious about how to bring all your energy back, start feeling into your new way of being and how to navigate the in-between, come see me for a treatment or sign up for my 4-week real authentic woman practice to ease into this new transformation that is happening.
As always, thank you for taking the time to read and inspire. Have a beautiful week! Enjoy this new moon phase by being gentle with yourself and honoring what shows up and releases. I look forward to hearing from you.
Much love and blessings,
Colette
