I went to the most fabulous dinner party at my friend Tommy’s house in Park Slope on Monday night. I rode my bike over in the misty weather. It was refreshing. I played great music on the way there.
As I crossed the Brooklyn Bridge, I took a wrong turn at the beginning and accidentally took my Citibike down the wood-paneled path across the bridge instead of the newly created bike lane. My bicycle hit every single wood-panel along the Brooklyn Bridge. Rickty-rick! That was the noise it made on every single wood panel. It was so embarrassing. Ugh, MercuryRX!
Anyway, as I exited the Brooklyn Bridge I was in my old neighborhood of Downtown Brooklyn. It was wild getting off on Tillary Street and reminded me of the good old days of my apartment in Cobble Hill with Shanta! As I entered Park Slope, my Spotify decided to play “Ablaze (MUNA Remix),” which immediately reminded me of David Odyssey! And I so wished and hoped that I’d see David at Tommy’s house.
I discovered this song when David did Alanis Morisette’s star chart on the Luminaries podcast. I believe the song was posted on David’s stories and I was curious about it. So I played it and wow, what a time and moment in my life to be discovering such a beautiful song.
After parking my Citibike I bought a bottle of water (Poland Spring) and then clambered up the stairs to Tommy’s apartment. As I took my shoes off in the hallway I heard David’s voice and my consciousness immediately entered the higher-realm.
Speaking of which, when I opened Tommy’s door and saw the beautiful faces awaiting me on the other side, I wondered if I had in fact entered heaven. David was talking to my favorite Jew: Gloria. Glorious Gloria and David chitter-chatting away is what I walk into and I already know the night is going to be memorable.
I hunt David down and harass him about the last Tarot Card reading he did for me. If you want to get your Star Chart and Tarots read by a Pro, David is the absolute best. The last time we did a reading was in our Chelsea apartment in November/December 2020. There was a lot that I learned. David told me that I was sleeping on my Lilith and that it was time for me to start using that powerful part of my Star chart.
So basically the entire past year has been a journey of discovering my Lilith energy and harnessing it to manifest the life I want, all in a very safe way of course. Lilith is very dark energy. It is a destructive force if used incorrectly. When used effectively with truth, white light, and grace, you can get a lot with your Lilith I’ve learned. It can be us at our worst frequency, but it’s also teaches us about how to turn pain into something beautiful. Some of the best pieces of art in the world were created using Lilith energy.
David said he was glad that the tarots were of use and that he could see growth in me within the past year. He told me I seemed different. Then he asked my my age and I said 31. He laughed and cheekily said: “Ah yes, my peer in the industry!” So then I cackled and we kiki’d further.
This room is full of beautiful people. Open-minded and honest and really cool people. It is an environment where everybody feels safe. I felt safe discussing star charts, moons, planets, astrology, Lilith energy, North Nodes, South Nodes, the dreaded Saturn Return and Placidus. We also set intentions for the Fall.
Tommy’s North Node is in Cancer and I really felt like he was basking in that glory. It was a North Node dinner and it was Tommy’s North Node. We celebrate one another in this social circle and I think that’s really beautiful. There was a moment when we were all sitting around the table eating, after Tommy was done fluttering around in the kitchen and finally fixed himself a plate, which felt really nice. I felt warm and surrounded by such wonderful company.
I don’t know if it was the perfectly baked salmon that was hitting my stomach, or if it was the genuine presence of beautiful people, perhaps it was both? The dinner was a hit and I’m so glad I got to discuss all things astrology with loved ones.
Basically, this past summer presented itself a big opportunity for growth. Everybody, at some point, whether they realized it or not, were faced with making choices and decisions. We make choices and decisions everyday that shape our future. Our habits become our future, we carry them forward with us everywhere we go.
I know this is a coach and I preach it to my swimmers: you reap what you sew, perfection is sewn. I stole that quote from Beyonce, my favorite Virgo, and it really rings true. I think another one I think about a lot is: how are you going to win when you ain’t right within? That one comes from the most sincere and genuine Gemini I know: Lauryn Hill. Both of them I tell children because I think those messages are really important.
Accountability is important. Apologizing and righting a wrong is important. Keeping about your word, this is important. So many things happened this past summer and I kept my head down working, knowing that in the end justice will be served. There is so much Libra energy happening right now. It isn’t a coincidence that Britney Spears is finally freed from her 13 year slavery of a conservatorship operated by her family.
Everybody is getting their comeuppance. Are you a good person or not? That is the fundamental question. Do you take care of yourself? I have pristine habits, how about you? Do you value the temple, the body, the grateful vessel in which your mind and soul resides?
Deep down you know the answer. You can run away from your problems but they always find a way of catching up with you. There’s nowhere far enough you can runaway and hide from yourself. Don’t shy away from accountability, lean into it. Breathe that heavy sigh of relief and accept the inevitable. You either made a habit out of success this summer or you ran away from your problems. Either way, it is all coming to a head now and you have to understand that these situations were sewn months ago.
Accountability: that’s the first step towards showing growth in life. We are all held accountable to our karma at some point.
So that’s what we sat around and discussed. All the things we did during the summer. All lessons learned, habits formed, energy changed. It was the type of evening where I left feeling my mind, body, spirit and soul being cleansed.
It was the perfect place:
