Energy Update
Dragonflies tend to symbolize change and transformation, especially becoming more of our true self. They can also represent a spiritual maturity around the deeper meanings of life.
The phrase ‘acknowledge what is’ is what emerged for the energy of this week.
But not in a give up, self-censor, surrender sort of way.
The energy asks us to acknowledge the bigger, deeper, cosmic definition of ‘what is’, not simply the 3D masks and facades around us. And then it asks us to compare ‘what is’ with what we value. What we desire in this world. What we’re willing to stand up for and move towards.
It will be very easy to look around us and see the dissonance. But importantly, the energy asks us to consider our own integrity in action.
Perhaps we’d rather duck our head and not look to deeply at our external or internal landscape.
Instead, take a peek. Because if you take a peek, you’ll see a bit of the energy of our future. If you’re one who does astrology, cards, runes, channeling, intuitive messages, or anything similar, now’s a good time to tap into your deeper connections.
Because, within these deeper connections with be threads. Threads that align with your values, desires, and truth. Threads that serve as your soul’s invitation to stand up for, and move towards, that which aligns with your values.

Message from Chardon
What does it mean to deepen within yourself?
Deepening means to be able to know, and to bring forward, who you are.
So, who are you? Not just ‘who are you?’ in the quiet silent space in the midst of your heart. But ‘who are you?’ as the being who is encountered by those whom you meet on your planet. How does who you are flow into your purpose, your aura, and your actions? Who you are should fill every part of you; your identity, your purpose, your actions, your heart, your breaths.
Who are you?
Deepening means to be rooted and embodied as a human. Deepen into your roots, in the space that your roots matter; in the space that your roots are you. Do not try to be the roots that are somebody else. Root yourself deeply into your own purpose, your own values, and your own identity.
Deepening means coming into contact with the emotions that swim in your energy and the emotions that are buried within your body. Deepen within yourself, so that you may not run from your emotions, but instead respect and honor, welcome and embrace, and stand with your emotions. There is nothing in your emotions to be afraid of; they are simply guideposts for your dreams, fears, longings, and purpose. Where you feel dissonance in your emotions, go internally to ask where it is that your purpose, identity, and dreams are not aligning in yourself.
Deepening means allowing your heart to expand, allowing your identity to expand, allowing your voice to expand. Deepen within yourself.
Do you not imagine that you understand the limitations of yourself, because you do not. The limitations that you place upon yourself, upon your dreams, upon your hopes, your purpose; those are not real. As you deepen your roots into your planet, as you open your heart and identity and voice, you will find that the limitations you perceived to be there in the beginning, are not there.
Deepen. It is time; it is the time right now, at this Intersection, in this space. It is time for you to deepen.
