The Godmother at the Gate: A Story for This Astrological Moment

As we move through April into May 2025, many of us may feel like we’re stuck in the in-between—just when we thought momentum was returning, the tides shifted again. Mercury is direct, Venus is stationing in Pisces, and eclipse season has officially closed, but the energy still lingers. This moment in the sky isn’t about charging ahead. It’s about pausing, listening, and being willing to revisit what’s unresolved. We’re standing at the threshold where endings must be honored before true beginnings can emerge.

To help make sense of this powerful cosmic pause, I want to share a story with you—an old myth about death, healing, and what happens when we try to skip ahead. It’s the tale of La Calavera, a mysterious godmother who offers the gift of wisdom through surrender and trust. This story isn’t just for entertainment—it holds a key to understanding why life may feel stalled, and what’s truly being asked of us before we light a new flame. So grab a cup of tea, open your senses, and let the deeper message reveal itself.
