Feeling Out Mid-Year 2024

6 months ago, I released a newsletter called " A Glimpse at 2024 Offerings at Casa Molly".

I had gone over general goals for 2024 and needless to say, I've been hitting the mark!

  1. ✅ "At the start of 2024 Jan-March, I'll be offering spots to 6 amazing women for free clarity natal chart readings." --> Did that!

  2. ✅ " Starting April 2024, I intend on charging a low cost fee for clarity natal chart readings." --> I opened my business in May, so still on track!

  3. ✅ " I am currently in astrology school and as I hone in skills, I intend on expanding my reading offerings." --> I'm still in astro school, and will be for the next year!

  4. ✅ " The newsletters will keep coming. (Lucky you! JK)" --> Still going strong with my beautiful word vomit. <3

So whats in store for the next half of the year?

Well, Jupiter just moved into Gemini and I'm feeling this will direct a lot of my next 6 months.

[Basically, the planet of good luck, expansion, diplomacy and optimism, moves into its new home of Gemini, the sign of learning, curiosity, thought and communication, for the next year.]

The effects of this transit will gradually show over the next year.

For me, Gemini is my 11th house of dreams, wishes, community, social media, friends, groups. (If you want to know the exact details as to what topics in YOUR life this transit is happening in, reach out to me for a reading!)

I 100% feel the urge to branch out to like-minded groups, public speak, and connect.

I also feel the pull to redraft my vision and dreams as I have learned a lot over the past year.

No but seriously, this transit comes right in time for the mid-year review!

This is a perfect time for a re-negotiation with yourself:.

My revised goals for the second half of 2024 will look like this:

  1. Attend a speech club for AT LEAST 6 months religiously. (June to December 2024)

  2. Focus on networking, community, and joining in person events that fit "my vibe".

  3. Finish and release my one-on-one "Clusterfuck to Centered" program by September 2024.

  4. Host my first free workshop by October 2024.

Why did I choose these?

For those of you who don't want to get down with the astrology woo, I am going to talk about the #1 thing I use to decide what to do next:

I focus on how i want to FEEL.

There is an amazing book I read a few years ago called "The Desire Map" By Danielle LaPorte (AND its like $3 on ​kindle​ right now. No I don't get monies from this.)

It taught me a new skill: How to create goals based on how you'll feel having accomplished the goal.

When you first make goals, they'll mostly be made from a logical place.

We are so used to living life "logically" that we forget to create goals based on how it might actually feel to have them.

Once we get experience on that "logical" path, we are able to connect with our emotional wants.

Let's say you move into a new home because at the time, it logically made sense: Great rent, great neighborhood, etc.

Well, 6 months in, you might realize that living closer to nature might bring you more peace and living in a smaller space makes you feel safer.

So, in reviewing your own remainder of 2024, what feels like a good goal(s) for you to aim for?

Notice I said FEEL.

By the end of 2024, I chose the goals above to feel the following:

  • Attend speech club = Feeling increased confidence having improved public speaking skill.

  • Networking and community = Abundance and connected to like-minded people.

  • Finish my program = Filled with pride for my achievements

  • Connected with like-minded people

  • Free workshop = Contribution to my environment

Try it out by journaling on this:

What have you logically learned from your experiences in the last 6 months that you can use to understand more about yourself and how you want to feel by end of the next 6?
