Dear Friends:

We’re entering a liminal pocket of time, where the light shifts, and something tender inside us calls our attention.

June 20th marks the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, and with it, the Sun moves into Cancer.

Jupiter, the planet of abundance, faith, philosophy, higher education, foreign travel, and justice has already moved into the flowing depths of Cancer. This moment invites us to pause, to feel, and to take care. Cancer brings us home to what matters: chosen family, emotional safety, slow dinners, shared stories, and the quiet work of building a life that nourishes.

This is a season to celebrate what’s ripening in your garden, your relationships, and your creative life. Remember that rest and pleasure are sacred, too.

This is a shorter newsletter because I've decided to take an impromptu trip to NYC to visit Gabe this weekend. My Cancer Star Child is turning 20 on the 25th and I can't wait to celebrate with him. As many of you know, he is enjoying his paid internship in the Executive Office at Goldman Sachs in the fidi and living his best life in Park Slope (which he imagined for himself last summer). He's working in brand strategy and marketing and sits just outside the offices of CMO, Fiona Carter and former CEO Lloyd Blankfein.

My flight leaves before dawn tomorrow, but I wanted to let you know about a few events coming up.

Exciting news! Tad Hargrave returns to Austin for our weeklong quarterly strategy session and of course, we want to gather with you.

New Moon in Cancer Storytelling Circle & Potluck

Wednesday, June 25th at 6 p.m., Austin, 78734​
Join me and master storyteller Tad Hargrave for an evening of story, food, and reflection. We’ll gather around the New Moon to plant seeds of intention for the next cycle around home, belonging, and emotional well-being. Bring a dish, a story, or just your sweet self.

Please respond to this email if you'd like to attend to receive the address. It will be held at my home lakeside on Hudson Bend.

Clarify and Call It In

Meanwhile, we’re moving through Days 9 & 10 of the Power to Declare Your Desire, co-created by Dylan Moffett and me. Going through it myself all over again has opened up so many new awarenesses and desires. Every year shows me how much I've grown and what I have healed so that I am more capable of receiving all that I am calling in. Thank you to those who are working your way through the Quest. Please let me know what you are finding. If you haven't yet started, it is evergreen and you can begin any time.

Goddess Mythology, Tarot, & the Craft of Writing

Just a reminder that this Erotica Writing Playshop has been rescheduled to Wednesday, July 16, 2025 at 6 p.m. and now includes both an online and in-person option. Bring a friend!

Thank you for reading this far and for being in my orbit.

If you'd like to book an astrology, Tarot, Human Design, or sacred strategy session, please schedule at Ritual Resonance.

I'm so grateful for your support of my work.

With so much love,
​Monica
