Reading your post I just realized - it was on that last Capricorn full moon a month ago that I officially announced my new Substack newsletter, feeling like I am finally embracing the writer in me that has been waiting for a voice my whole life. Then, the confusion of what I am actually wanting to focus on with my writing at this time…. And the struggle with ‘publishing into the void’.
Today, on the second Capricorn full moon, I launched a new section, ‘The Story Hearth’, dedicated to fiction, & posted my first installment of a short story/fairy tale that came through me as part of a larger story… and with this, I feel as though I finally am releasing the old patterns of running away from the thing I’ve wanted since I was a little girl - to write stories!
Pluto has been traversing my second house in Capricorn since forever, it seems - I am so curious what’s waiting for me on the other side of it 😄✨📚 And what’s coming in September…
Ohhh I love this, Brighde!! What a beautiful expression of both Capricorn full moons in your lived experience. I love that each of them involved you putting yourself out there! Also, seeing the progression from the first to the second and how you're now using your voice in a way that is steeped in your authentic voice by writing stories! I'm so proud of you. Way to go for releasing those old patterns of running away—I'm celebrating you!!!!
I will for sure keep you posted! 😍 That must have been quite the journey of Pluto through the second house, but I imagine you're much more embodied in your talents and self-worth than when it started! And now you're getting paid for your writing on Substack!! That's such a second house topic.
Indeed it’s been a ride, peppered with huge Leaps of Faith & shifts in career to keep following my true. Orth Star…and obviously, I’m not nearly done yet with those shifts…actually getting paid for writing would be another major leap 😄
(Pluto will still be in my second house for years to come, though now in Aquarius - and I’m ready for that shift 😍🥳🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you Kaitlyn, that’s so kind! Yes, that timing with Brigdhe and me is wild! The sadness was just as I was exporting my subscribers from ConvertKit. Sounds silly, but so many memories, launches, courses, programs, celebrations and failures. Substack is a new start, a different business model, a new era. I burned out really bad a few years ago and just started writing again last fall. So there’s a part of me still processing everything leading up to that. It’s weird bc I’m still doing pretty much the same thing, yet different platform, different vibe, slightly different hopes and dreams. It can feel sad to let go, even when it wasn’t the right place to be. Sending you well wishes during these wild times!
It doesn't sound silly at all! It sounds like a huge part of your work and the memories that went along with it were brought to the surface as you made the transition. Especially since reflecting on the burnout you experienced. Thank you for sharing more. I'm proud of you for starting to write again! Looking forward to following along on your journey.
Wow! I didn’t know there were 2 full moons in Capricorn. I had to look it up bc I didn’t know if I was understanding correctly. Isn’t that super rare? I started my Substack one month ago as an experiment and today transferred my email list over. I felt so sad, like it’s the end of an era. (But excited too.) I’m a Capricorn and Pluto has kicked my ass over the past 15 years. It’s been hard. Truly hoping this is the start of something new and that some wind enters my sails (sorry, corny I know). I’ve been working so hard for so long and I am ready to find success on my own terms. This gave me a lot of thinking to do!
There were! Every couple years we have two full moons in the same sign, back to back, but it's been a long time since we've had them in the sign of Capricorn.
How cool that both you and Brighde started your Substacks at the same time, near the first full moon!! I'm beaming at this.
Congratulations on taking the leap 🎉 I'm curious to hear more about the sadness you're feeling, if you're willing to share. I guess being the end of an era there is some letting go that needs to happen, and like you said, excitement too!
I bet you've gone through some things over the time Pluto has been in your sign. My heart is with you ❤️ Wishing you a fresh start and true success on your terms! I'm excited to see what the next chapter is for you, Suzanne.
I am loving this “fuck this shit” energy! As you’ll see in the next MG love note, I’m feeling the vibes of allowing ourselves to be all the things—all at the same time
So lovely rereading my own comment now, on the second full moon since arriving in Thailand - thank you for sharing and for the reminder and place of reflection, Kaitlyn.
The past weeks have seen quite a few ups and downs! But today, I am healthy, happy, and deeply grateful to be here in Chiang Mai. This feels like exactly where I want and need to be, and as though the next steps will find me...without me needing to figure everything out. Blessings and gratitude to you, Kaitlyn!
I'm so thrilled to hear your update, Dana! It's nice to hear you're settling in well, and feeling as though you're in exactly the right place. It's funny how sometimes when things don't go as planned, it ends up being exactly what we didn't know we needed. Much love to you!!
There's so much to reflect on in this piece. I can immediately say that I'm thrilled by the idea of reclaiming my authority.
I'm thrilled by this idea, too!! Thank you for sharing, Sandra.

I started my Substack one month ago too! Congrats on embracing the writer in you! ♥️
And you, too, Suzanne! 💫🥰 we can celebrate our writerly anniversaries together 😄✨📚🖌️
Eeeek I'm crying with excitement for both of you! I love this connection 🥹❤️

You get it! 🙌 I'm looking forward to reading!
Your dreams and the connection to real life and the lunar events - so telling!
That's what I was thinking, too! Thank you for reading, Kristen.
