This coming week I am having a break from work. That doesn’t mean I won’t do any work, but it does mean that I’m not on the hook for any work. No client consultations, no course lesson to worry about, no meetings, no deliverables. I might, in fact likely will, get inspired to create something, but it’s not obligatory. And that makes all the difference. This time of year is typically when weird ideas bubble up from the depths and start getting workshopped. For example, the printable magic planner (as opposed to my earlier handwritten bullet journal version) started gestating around the 2021 Summer Solstice and launched in January of 2022 — which is… man, that’s a really long time! In fact, just this past week I had an idea for a lite version of the planner, which is, well, right on schedule I think.
In the increasing warmth and endless light, I also start to consider what I want to accomplish through the dark half of the year. I don’t always know this in advance! For example, as I mentioned in my last post, shadow work recently landed on my todo list (when I have something hit me at the same time Gordon’s talking about it – I know it’s important!). And the protein sustainability project is ramping back up after a bit of a lull. There are other goals, too, for the household and for myself.
I guess I can’t stop planning – even on vacation. I also have a habit of planning my vacation! This coming week is excellent for enchantment, starting with tomorrow’s Neptune / Jupiter conjunction and wrapping with the Summer solstice. I plan on leaning in with a linked enchantment (which I talked about in my last Next Week in Magic Video Blog, if you are a member).
Whether you’re having a vacation or not, it’s an excellent time to step back, reset, and think about what you want to create and manifest for the second half of the year. Here are some questions to get your planning juice flowing:
- What is the universe telling you about what you need to work on? Those messages are tied to wider flows, larger perspectives, and your higher self. Don’t ignore them!
- Who do you want be at the end of 2025? If you work on changing yourself into the kind of person who has the life you want, the life you want becomes MUCH easier to manifest.
- What is the single most impactful change you can make RIGHT NOW? Sometimes you have to go all in one one critical thing and focus your energies.
- Is there something small from your best future vision that you can start doing or creating here in the present? When you pull something from your desired future to you, you help create a thread that will draw you to that future state.
- What connection or resources do you need to have in place to make progress on your goals? Enchant for that and it makes the rest of your goals easier.
Happy Solstice everyone, and blessings of the Divine Feminine on us all!
