On the threshold of the Eclipse Corridor, the past steps out of the shadows to remind us of what was lost, forgotten — or, on the contrary, gained and overcome.

It is not only people, ideas, and events from the past that may reappear in our lives. Along with them, we seem to meet our former selves — the people we once were, the people we have become, and the people we may still become. Are we truly the same people we were one, two, or five years ago? Or have we grown, becoming wiser, stronger, and more conscious?

Are we ready to accept the consequences of our past choices — the relationships that left their mark, the words that were never spoken, the decisions that changed the course of our lives? What will we carry with us into the new cycle, and what are we finally ready to release without regret?

Because if we look closely, much of what we carry behind us does not actually belong to us: other people’s expectations, imposed obligations, old resentments, and attachments. They drain our energy like the roots of a withered tree that will bear no more fruit, yet continue to draw nourishment from the soil.

🌗 Now is the perfect time to ask yourself: Is this truly mine? Or is it something that needs to WITHER AWAY, making room for fresh, ripened possibilities?

Without regret or tears, but with respect for the past and gratitude for its lessons, we can clear our inner soil — making space for new seeds, mature fruits, and sincere desires that become especially clear under the New Moon.

And at this point of choice, one thing becomes obvious: it is up to us whether we continue walking in circles through old stories, dragging shadows and attachments behind us, or step consciously, lightly, and with inner maturity into the next turn of the cycle — toward the place where our own, authentic harvest is already waiting for us.

May all doors open for you!
