Hi Reader,
A lunar eclipse happened in Virgo early this morning (last night, really), and I’m not here to tell you it’s going to change your life overnight.
I’m here to talk about something else entirely – that quiet insistence inside you that knows there’s more. The dream you’ve tucked away because it doesn’t make “practical sense.” The path that calls to you even as you explain all the reasons you can’t take it.
WHAT ECLIPSES REALLY REVEAL
Eclipses fascinate me, not because they dictate our futures, but because they reveal what’s already true. They create a moment when something that’s always there – the shadow of the Earth – suddenly becomes visible.
Last night's eclipse, with the North Node in Pisces and South Node in Virgo, highlights a tension we’re all feeling: the pull between needing certainty and embracing faith. Between our desire for a detailed roadmap and the calling to trust what we can’t yet see.
MY OWN MESSY PATH FORWARD
I’ve been working for myself since 2011, moving through so many iterations I sometimes felt like I was failing rather than finding my way. I tutored students, coached writers, built websites, designed funnels, created courses – all valuable work, but none of it quite ignited that deep knowing that I was home.
For years, I berated myself for changing directions so often. I’d implement strategies from the latest business course, see modest results, then find myself pivoting again anyway. “Why can’t you just stick with something?” I’d ask myself. “Maybe you’re just too flaky, too unrealistic, too afraid of a real job.”
These questions haunted me until I finally found this work – using tarot and astrology to guide others. Even through the struggles – the empty fairs where I sat alone for hours, the readings I drastically undercharged for, the marketing attempts that fell flat – I kept going.
Not because this business was instantly more successful, but because, for the first time, I cared deeply enough to persist.
What I’ve learned is this: The path only reveals itself after you start walking, and you only keep walking when the path truly matters to you.
WHAT SURPRISED ME MOST
Reader, when I finally found my life's work, the thing I am born to do, the self-criticism didn’t immediately disappear. I still questioned myself. (In fact, I still do that now.) I still made costly mistakes. But the difference was that I cared enough about this work to keep going anyway.
Playing small isn’t the same as playing safe. 🌟
In fact, staying in work that doesn’t truly matter to you might feel safer, but it exacts a different kind of toll - a slow draining of your energy, your confidence, your sense of purpose.
WHAT THE CARDS REALLY REVEAL
What I’ve noticed in my readings is how often people already know what they want to do, but they’ve tucked that knowledge away because it seems too impractical, too risky, too late, or too something. They come to me hoping the cards will tell them something different, something easier. But the cards usually just confirm what they already know in their bones.
This is where today’s eclipse wisdom comes in perfectly. It reminds us that sometimes we need to trust what we feel before we can understand how it all fits together.
The North Node in Pisces is literally asking us to follow our intuition even when our analytical mind isn’t fully on board yet.
The clarity you’re seeking doesn’t come from endless planning - it emerges from taking action, even while uncertain. This eclipse is illuminating exactly where you might need to trust yourself more than your doubts.
YOUR INVITATION
So in the wake of this eclipse, I have an invitation that comes straight from my heart to yours:
Take one brave step toward the thing that scares you most today. 💫
Not when you understand how it will work out. Not when the doubts have settled. Today.
It might look like:
- Writing the first paragraph of that book that terrifies you
- Having the conversation you’ve been avoiding
- Investing in your creative dream in some small, tangible way
- Setting a boundary that makes room for what matters most
WHAT AWAITS YOU
I know the vertigo of standing at this edge. I know how the body tightens, how the breath shortens, how the mind races with every possible worst-case scenario.
But I also know the feeling of finally stepping into work that just feels right. The way your shoulders drop. The way your breath deepens. The way your very cells seem to whisper, “Yes, this.”
The universe is asking you to trust the thing that calls you, even when – especially when – you can’t see where it leads.
You already know what it is. You’ve always known.
With faith in your becoming,
Daniela ✨
P.S. What’s calling to you right now that you’ve been afraid to claim? I’d love to know – hit reply and share it with me. Sometimes naming it out loud is the bravest first step.
P.P.S. Do you want a ritual and meditation to connect to the full moon energy? My friend Jen Ward, a tarot coach and intuitive guide, created a special meditation just for this moment.
It’s a gentle, soul-nourishing practice to help you release what’s no longer serving you and call in fresh, aligned energy under this powerful full moon.

I hope it brings you a sense of peace, clarity, and magic.
