Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Welcome back to starbain. I am your host, Tara.
[00:00:05] And I thought I was going to come back with a new intro, a new cover art, which I have all done and organized, but it's just. It hasn't come back yet.
[00:00:22] And it's really interesting because the perfectionist in me. So I am Virgo Rising, Virgo Moon, and wouldn't put anything out. Would wait.
[00:00:38] But the energy and the frequency of me and this podcast feels different.
[00:00:48] And I am totally okay putting this out there without an intro and without the updated cover art.
[00:01:00] So I just wanted to let you know that.
[00:01:03] And it's coming.
[00:01:06] But this is the theme that I've been going through. It's not about this performance.
[00:01:16] It's just about being in your authenticity.
[00:01:21] And that word is probably overused in the spiritual world, but I just want to connect at the end of the day, so I wanted to do this transmission. So here we go.
[00:01:35] And we have this pivotal point, these points within the year that the energy of the Earth is recalibrating, and we're coming up to solstice.
[00:01:51] So solstice is a sacred pause in this year, and it's where everything slows and it's slowing just enough to notice what is actually underneath the surface. So what is bubbling up?
[00:02:13] What are you really wanting it to put your energy into?
[00:02:20] What are you really wanting in your life?
[00:02:26] And so whether you're in the southern hemisphere, like me, where we're heading into the longest night, or you're in the northern hemisphere, where the light is returning, this is a moment where we slow down and we recalibrate. And so solstice is this edge. It's this in between.
[00:02:49] It's not quite what was, and it's not yet what's to come. So it's not about doing more or making a big leap right now. This is a time where we really want to have stillness and creating that space for listening and letting our nervous system really catch up with our soul. And so these pivotal points within the year, so equinoxes and also solstices, this isn't anything new. Our ancestors knew this. In ancient Egypt, the solstice was viewed as the sun's sacred pivot between worlds. And their temples were built to actually track the sun.
[00:03:37] So the rising of the star system Sirius marked the flooding of the Nile. And so that was a marker of bringing fertility and life and abundance.
[00:03:49] And they also believed heavily in the sun God, Ra.
[00:03:55] And this was a time where Ra, the sun God, was journeying through the underworld and preparing to be reborn. So the solstice was this sacred still point, this pause between renewal, and right now, the Earth is in that same kind of pause.
[00:04:17] This is when the access tilts to its furthest edge.
[00:04:22] So you might be feeling it in your nervous system, in your creativity, in what is being brought to your attention.
[00:04:31] And this isn't the time to push through. It's the time to listen. It's the time where, just like the earth is exhaling, it's a moment before we inhale, that inhale movement, that growth, that momentum. And so it's like this.
[00:04:51] Yeah, sacred pause that I really want you to honor. So if you have been feeling a little off right now, like your rhythm isn't sinking and things aren't going how you want them to go, I just want to say you're not broken. You're just in tune. You're syncing with something deeper.
[00:05:16] And this is.
[00:05:19] This is what I've been experiencing. I've been feeling this. And I have to say that in the background, throughout all of this year, I've had this kind of whisper that something's missing, but not in this dramatic, like, oh, I know what it is. Like, really obvious.
[00:05:39] It's been this really quiet, soul level kind of way.
[00:05:46] And what I keep circling back to is that we're missing spaces where women can just be. Not to compare, not to perform, like I mentioned at the start, not to network, but just to connect, to feel, to.
[00:06:07] To be in their truth.
[00:06:10] And honestly, this is why I'm recording this, because I've had resistance to sharing more publicly.
[00:06:21] And this is why the podcast, to be honest, has been on pause.
[00:06:26] Not because I didn't have something to say, but because I know what can come with being seen.
[00:06:34] And I know a lot of women can relate to this. And if you had asked me if that was the reason, I would have said no. But what I've come to, you know, going through the. The layers of this, is that I have really been feeling the sting of criticism and this weird energy and these subtle jabs and projection and passive aggressiveness over things that I have been sharing, and I just needed a break from it.
[00:07:16] And so visibility, especially when we're in this spiritual space, can attract energy that isn't clean. And it has taken me a while and to feel safe in my voice again, I have to say, it has been quite.
[00:07:40] Yeah, quite confronting.
[00:07:42] And, yeah, the ridicule that I have received, it's just given me so much strength, obviously, like, looking back, but it has been.
[00:07:57] Yeah, it has really made me Question.
[00:08:02] And so I obviously, being a Vedic astrologer, I've been very curious, especially in my work capacity. I mentioned on the podcast, if you've been following and listening for a while, that six months ago, I officially stepped out of my corporate career in strategic marketing and communication.
[00:08:29] And that has yet been, you know, my path.
[00:08:35] And it has.
[00:08:39] Within my corporate environment, I have always had enemies. I don't know how else to put it.
[00:08:50] And I've really struggled in the space and it doesn't matter.
[00:08:57] Females, males, like, it has just been. Yeah, it has been really intense throughout my whole career.
[00:09:07] And I've been looking into past lives recently and been going deeper in my placements because I really want to understand where this is coming from because obviously certain patterns repeat and once we have that conscious awareness, we can start to understand.
[00:09:26] And so I did a real deep dive. I just wanted to get to the bottom of this. I was like, this is a theme that comes up in my corporate work that I have.
[00:09:38] Yeah, these, like, enemies, like, challenging me. Challenging me for, like, power, like, ridiculing, like, really aggressively. And, yeah, it has been all my life like this.
[00:09:53] And so looking deeper into my chart and it made complete sense to me. I have my Mars placement in the Nakshatra of Danishtha in my sixth house. And the sixth house is the house of Daily Work Service and also enemies, competitors, Dhanishta. The Nakshatra is symbolized by the drum, and it means the beat of conflict and resolution.
[00:10:24] And so Mars is in this house, and Mars being in this house carries this imprint of old rivalries from past lives and times that might have been like we fought or competed in ways that has left this residue of bringing it into this lifetime. And as kind of like these karmic ripples are really showing up in this friction in my workplace, these power plays, this competition, and these moments where I felt like I've really been watched instead of witnessed.
[00:11:03] And, you know, but there's. There's so much medicine in understanding this because this placement of Mars in Danishta doesn't want to stay in that battle mode. It's really wanting, wanting me to transform that, that fight into fuel. And so that's what I've really been working through, is how do I shift that old energy of opposition into leadership, into clarity, into aligned action.
[00:11:38] And so this placement can, yeah, it can hold both the fire and the grace. And so I'm really stepping into power in a whole new way.
[00:11:52] And it's not, for me about proving I want to be more anchored in My energy, so. And I feel like there is a big difference between being watched and being witnessed. And for a while, I didn't know how to show up without feeling like I was betraying some quiet part of myself. Because those of you that have a podcast or share on social media, you know the vulnerability that that takes. And a lot of the time, it is energy that is.
[00:12:32] That is criticizing, that isn't interacting, that isn't engaging. It's just this lurking energy.
[00:12:42] And yeah, you. You really have to build strength for it and create those energetic boundaries around it. And so I just want to say if you have been facing any uncomfortable situations lately, I have really chosen to remain in integrity.
[00:13:03] And I've been asked to go.
[00:13:06] Go deep, to ask myself, what am I willing to give up to remain true to my soul?
[00:13:13] Which is a. Is a pattern that really likes to repeat in this. This modern reality.
[00:13:20] But, yeah, it really has felt like a baptism of fire.
[00:13:24] And so now coming into the solstice, it has been a great reminder for me that I don't need to shout my truth.
[00:13:34] I just need to live it.
[00:13:36] I don't need to be loud to be powerful. I just need to be.
[00:13:40] Yeah, to just be really grounded.
[00:13:44] And so that's what this next chapter is for me.
[00:13:47] And this podcast is shifting with that.
[00:13:53] So more truth, more conversations we don't always hear in public, but deeply need to.
[00:14:02] And so with this tapping into the solstice energy, I want to prompt you with thinking, how can you honor your turning point or this turning point that you're having?
[00:14:16] So on the solstice, a beautiful ritual that you could do is light a candle at dust and reflect on what you're ready to release.
[00:14:28] If you've got an altar, you could place something on that altar. A flower, a note, a bowl of water, or. Or you could do what I'm doing and gather with women and, yeah, celebrate the. The divine feminine.
[00:14:45] And this is that. That moment and that time to remember your. Your stillness is sacred.
[00:14:53] And asking yourself what part of you is dying and what wants to be born.
[00:15:04] And if you're still here listening, I know you're part of this return. Like this softening this slow soul led shift towards something deeper.
[00:15:16] And so, yeah, taking this time creating some stillness for yourself and, you know, taking that stillness without an agenda. Just you.
[00:15:27] And you might even want to message a woman you love, let her know that she's been on your heart.
[00:15:35] Tap into. Yeah, letting go of something, even if it's small, but your soul knows what it is.
[00:15:43] And then really using this time as rest, not because you're tired, but because you're honouring the pause.
[00:15:53] And so just a reminder, and I'm reminding myself, you're not late, you're not behind, you're exactly where you need to be.
[00:16:05] And you know, working so closely with people's Vedic charts, I see this over and over.
[00:16:13] The dasha periods are like the chapters of our life and it's got this rhythm, it's got this unfolding, we can surrender to that, we can surrender to our soul, carving out these set points in our journey to create energy, to help us evolve where we need to, when we need to.
[00:16:39] And so I want to say to you, happy Solstice. I hope you enjoy the new frequency of star being.
[00:16:48] And what I am doing at the moment is focusing on my mentorship.
[00:16:56] This is not something that I have previously broadcasted, but I have been craving working with women so they can speak their truth, so they can be seen.
[00:17:16] Because this is what I feel the world needs right now. It needs women in their truth.
[00:17:26] And so if I can help hold a space and accelerate this process, I want to do that.
[00:17:37] So I'm just about to start my next three month mentorship, starting 21 June Solstice, of course, and this is my favorite way to work with women, to be able to go so deep. Like I love my one on one soul reading sessions, but my mentorship is really transforming and really being able to see karmic ties and patterns that have been holding us back and empowering with knowledge and self mastery, really understanding who you are and what your strengths are and how you can amplify this, it feels so good and so going deeper into your personal power and those karmic unravelings. And yeah, this is what I love to do. So it is called Cosmic Elements.
[00:18:54] And if you feel it in your bones, then I will leave a link in the show notes. I would love for you to work in this deep capacity with me.
