In my community here in Charlottesville, Virginia, we are reeling. Three students were shot, two more injured at the University of Virginia in the past 24 hours.
My heart goes out to all the loved ones who are dealing with this tragic and unexpected loss.
My personal take away in this moment is perspective. There is a reorientation to what is truly of value.

I'm including a post I made last week that I shared with my Patrons and on social media about departures as it feels in alignment:
GOODBYES
Love to all who continue to experience the eclipsing and are experiencing loss of some form.
If you aren’t experiencing it directly, you surely know someone who recently lost a mother, a father, a child, a lover, a friend, a pet.
Eclipses, especially Lunar Eclipses such as the one last Tuesday, often take something away and carry it to its final resting place.
Loss occurs at a point of completion.
Many forms of rupture are occurring for many people right now.
Some have passed over. Some went on to the next part of their journey but couldn’t take us with them.
There is a large amount of grief in the ethers right now.
On top of the Lunar Eclipse we had this week, note that there is a concentration of planets on the South Node:
Venus in Scorpio
Mercury in Scorpio
Sun in Scorpio
South Node in Scorpio
This concentration of energies in Scorpio on the South Node add to the loss we are experiencing.
These celestial bodies are tightly intertwined within 10 degrees of one another suggesting extra potency.
The South Node is where energy exits.
Scorpio is transformation.
An entity that once thrived has morphed and expired.
With Venus involved, it may be a relationship or something of value that is being laid to rest.
With Mercury involved, there is a good chance some communication is taking place around the departure.
With the Sun there, something has been illuminated that has a purpose. Something you need to see. Some type of legacy that is left behind following the departure.
With the Eclipses involved this past month, something was illuminated where you had a blind spot.
I know many of you are saying goodbyes. Sending love.
To our grieving collective, I send love.
Tenderly,
Jen
