n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.”

The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows.

This day and age we may have less physical communication with others, especially those who hold the starring roles in our life? Because of this, the sonders hold more specific meaning these days than just an extra sipping coffee. Our energetic body or aura can sense and feel their stories. Our souls in need of human connection sending out little strings that grab on to the people around us. See me! Feel me! Know I am here! This can be cumbersome and consuming. That’s the price we pay as we are evolving, my friends.

Monday, November 30th, we officially enter eclipse season with a full moon eclipse in Gemini. Gemini rules our intellect and communication. You may have been finding old stories have been playing out in your head or the player’s lives around you. The empathy and logical meters are way up, and you may be feeling a little exhausted with this battle going on between your heart and your brain.

Here’s the deal. This evolution is asking us to reconcile this battle and understand that you will play different roles in everyone’s story. Even with the best of intentions, you will create harm. You will create harmony. You will embody both the yin and the yang throughout your lifetime and day.

The full moon eclipse wants you to nurture this understanding. You are removing the need to make sense of how this happens and open with your heart when it does happen. Create a safe space within your energetic field to hear and know when you’ve done wrong and, with your intellect, rectify the situation. This when “I am sorry” because meaningful. Our intellect is less bruised when the heartfelt apology can’t be accepted, and our empathy makes us humbled, keeping tabs, hopefully never to make the same mistake again.

Here our sonders become a little more intentional, and those strings don’t weigh us down as much.

Witch Tip: As we step further down the evolutionary path, it’s essential to have good communication hygiene. Our technological devices are constantly dinging at us, begging for attention, just like those strings. The hybrid of technology strings and human strings can cram up our system. This week clean up your communication hygiene by removing push notifications from your phone’s apps. This causes less distraction from your day to day life. This simple tip will also free up some space around your energetic field.
