The Beginning of a New Era
Over the last few days, I’ve been quietly restructuring my life. Looking at my life through the lens of financial accounting and managerial accounting. Giving my self a full analysis inside and out.
Not in a “new year, new me” type of way either. More like a deep internal reset that started showing up externally through my routines, relationships, mindset, boundaries, visuals, work flow, and overall lifestyle.
As someone who studies astrology, numerology, emotional intelligence, and self awareness as personal tools for reflection, I’ve been paying close attention to the energy surrounding me lately, and truthfully, everything started making a little too much sense.
May 15th was a Personal Day 8 for me inside of my Personal Month 2 and Personal Year 6. Translation? The energy was giving “organize your life and stop playing with your potential.”
An 8 day focuses on power, structure, discipline, business, finances, authority, and long term stability. At the same time, my Personal Month 2 was emphasizing emotional discernment, patience, relationships, boundaries, and observation. Then layered on top of THAT, my astrology transits were heavily focused on healing, structure, rebuilding, and intentional living.
So naturally, I started cleaning house emotionally. I deleted old messages from my phone. Reorganized my images. Started refining my visual identity. Pulled back socially. Using my calendar to filter out unnecessary and irrelevant items. Reevaluated certain relationships. Started thinking more seriously about my routines, my business structure, and how I actually want my life to feel moving forward.
It felt overdue. Then May 16th arrived with a Taurus New Supermoon during a Personal Day 9 which I spent nurturing relations and making decisions in real time on my current culture and affairs. Concluding things if you will.
THAT combination was powerful.
In numerology, 9 energy represents endings, closure, emotional release, reflection, forgiveness, and clearing space before beginning something new. Taurus energy, on the other hand, is grounded, intentional, luxurious, stable, and deeply connected to self worth, lifestyle, peace, and sustainability.
Earlier that day I attended The Boost Your Brand Tour featuring Kolors Queen Key’s Boutique hosted by Streetz 95 Chicago.
Being in that environment reminded me how important visibility, branding, presentation, networking, and community really are especially as someone building media, communications, and lifestyle platforms. I wasn’t just attending socially, I was observing.
The conversations.
The energy.
The positioning.
The interactions.
The authenticity.
The intentions.
The alignmen
Everything became data and analytics for me.
Afterwards, I went to the lake with my spiritual sisters for the Taurus New Moon. We meditated, reflected, observed the moon, congregated, and grounded ourselves intentionally. And being near the water under that energy felt like emotional recalibration.
No performance or pressure.
Just presence.
Then later that night I went home and spent time with my godmother, which added another layer of reflection around wisdom, relationships, mentorship, femininity, community, and generational insight.
And somewhere throughout all of those moments, I realized something important:
The relationships in my life are mirrors, metrics, and data points.
Not in a cold or transactional way but in a self awareness way.
Every interaction reveals:
- what aligns
- what drains
- what inspires
- what feels safe
- what feels forced
- what nourishes me
- what no longer fits the woman I’m becoming
As someone with a background in communications, branding, strategy, media, and systems thinking, I naturally analyze patterns. But lately I’ve been learning how to apply that same awareness emotionally and spiritually too. While still be present, and listening to self as opposed to others.
So while everyone online was talking about “manifestation,” I realized this moon wasn’t asking me what I wanted to attract.
It was asking me:
“What needs to leave first?”
Whew.
That question alone made me reflect on:
- emotional clutter
- draining conversations
- disorganized environments
- inconsistent energy
- overextending myself
- unfinished projects
- unclear boundaries
- survival habits I’ve outgrown
I realized I’ve spent so much time trying to build, heal, help, fix, organize, communicate, and hold space for everyone around me that I needed to redirect some of that same energy back toward myself, not selfishly but intentionally.
Because one thing I’m learning in this season is that alignment isn’t just spiritual.
It’s structural.
Sometimes healing looks like therapy, journaling, yoga, or prayer.
And sometimes healing looks like:
- saying no
- cleaning your room
- organizing your business
- protecting your peace
- deleting conversations
- changing routines
- setting boundaries
- prioritizing your nervous system
- finally admitting you deserve consistency too
Now today, May 17th, I’ve entered a Personal Day 1.
I spent time with my friends Tony and Morgan, and even that became another reflection point for me, not because I was judging people or overanalyzing every interaction, but because I’m learning how to observe my life more consciously and intentionally.
The conversations, the emotional flow, the comfort, the support, the energy exchange, the reciprocity, all of it added more data for me to evaluate where I currently am in life and where I’m heading next.
I’m realizing that relationships, environments, and everyday interactions can reveal so much about our alignment, boundaries, emotional health, and personal growth if we slow down long enough to actually pay attention. In this season, I’m learning that life is constantly communicating with us through people, patterns, timing, energy, and experience.
And after the emotional clearing of the 9 day and the grounding energy of the Taurus New Moon, this 1 energy feels like a real reset.
Fresh start and initiation energy.
“Okay, now what are you going to BUILD?” energy.
Nothing rushed.
Nothing chaotic.
Everything Intentional.
As an Aries Sun, Scorpio Moon, and Gemini Rising, I naturally move through life with a mix of intensity, curiosity, reinvention, emotional depth, and constant evolution. But lately, life has been teaching me something different:
Slow down.
Observe more.
Finish what you start.
Protect your energy.
Build sustainably.
Choose peace over chaos.
Choose structure over survival mode.
I think I’m finally entering my foundation era.
Less emotional clutter, proving myself, overextending, and less access for people who haven’t earned it.
More alignment, intention, beauty, discipline. peace, ownership and self respect.
I’m learning that restarting your life doesn’t always happen through one giant moment. It happens in small bits.
Sometimes it happens quietly over a few intentional days where you finally decide:
“I can’t keep carrying old energy into the version of myself I’m trying to become.”
And maybe that’s what this season is really about.
Not becoming someone new. But becoming more aligned with who I already am.
