Discomfort

In a society oriented toward stability, we forget that real life happens in the in-between spaces: in waiting, in crisis, in grief, in uncertainty, and in what we don't dare to say.

Like the Moon, we are not always full or visible. We also move through phases of shadow.

With this space, I give form to my purpose; I navigate the depths and allow myself to show up as real rather than perfect. Yes, I have fears and insecurities. And that's precisely why I open this path: to look at them and create the life I want.

I use astrology, psychology, and natural cycles as my compass. But it was by observing my own lunar cycles that I understood discomfort wasn't a mistake—it was a phase.

My natal Moon in the 12th House has taught me that my most important processes happen in the invisible. When everything outside seemed to be falling apart, I understood I was moving through my own Waning Moon.

First lesson in self-analysis

During my Saturn return (in the 10th house), my work world and my role in society collapse. I no longer identify with my old profession, and bureaucracy ends up pushing me toward a forced pause.

Months of revision and uncertainty. An inner winter that today I recognize as a deep New Moon: silence, emptiness, and absence of certainty.

That's where I had to let go of "having to be" and start listening to my desire.

When you give yourself permission, limiting beliefs appear, along with fear and feelings of inadequacy. I tried to defeat them. But really they just needed to be felt.

Each Full Moon became a mirror: what hurt came to light to be acknowledged and released. I understood I wasn't losing myself—I was shedding skin.

How I started working with the lunar cycle

🌑 At the New Moon:

I ask myself one clear question—what do I want to plant even though it still scares me?—and I write down a concrete intention.

🌗 At the First Quarter:

I observe what resistances appear and take one small action aligned with that intention.

🌕 At the Full Moon:

I review which emotion feels most intense and write it down without filters. Then I give thanks for what I've learned and consciously choose what to release.

🌒 At the Waning Moon:

I clean, organize, close pending conversations. I make space.

Working this way gave me something I couldn't find outside: rhythm.

I understood that I don't need to have everything figured out. I just need to honor my phase.

Like the Moon, I don't need to always be bright to be growing.
