I had the privilege of spending some time last week at the Birthing Cave in Sedona. There is something about this sacred space that feels both grounding and expansive.
On this particular day, Pluto made its long-awaited shift into Aquarius, ushering in a new era of transformation.
And let me tell you, it felt like the energy of this powerful transition was alive. I could physically feel the energy pulsing all around me.
I was in moments of reflecting on the magnitude of Pluto's entry into Aquarius, it struck me how much this time is about seeing things from a higher perspective—looking beyond what’s right in front of us and stepping into the unknown with trust.
I am noticing this collective process happening where we are birthing something new within ourselves, and just as with any birth, it’s messy, it’s raw, and … it takes time.
The invitation today is to let go of old structures and ways of being that no longer serve us, and to open up to innovation, individuality, and progress. It's about finding balance between the grounded and the visionary, between the known and the unknown.
Sometimes, all we need is a change in perspective to see that we’re not just moving through our individual journeys, but that we’re part of a much larger cosmic dance.
So may this simple exercise in perspective shifting help to UnManic your Monday even if just a bit.
Take a moment today to find a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed. Close your eyes and imagine yourself climbing a mountain, floating above your life, or maybe joining me in this birthing cave looking outward. From this vantage point, observe your current challenges or emotions. What do you notice? What’s ready to be released or shifted? Breathe deeply, and with each exhale, let go of anything that feels heavy or outdated. With each inhale, invite in the energy of possibility, innovation, and trust in your process.
If this calls, reflect on these prompts for birthday anew:
What am I being called to release to create space for something new?
What does my highest vision for this next chapter of my life look and feel like?
How can I support myself through the “messy” parts of this transformation with grace and patience?
Sending you empowerment vibes as we all step into this new chapter together, trusting that the birth of our new selves is already underway.
With Loving Re-lease,
Alara
