✨ The Shift from Worker to Oracle 🪄
Reclaiming Power, Redefining Productivity & Riding the Waves of a New Paradigm
If you’ve been feeling exhausted, foggy, or like your energy’s on a weird-ass rollercoaster… same. But also? That’s the shift.
This isn’t burnout because you’re lazy or unmotivated. This is your soul tapping you on the shoulder like, “Hey babe, we don’t live in the productivity matrix anymore.” This month’s newsletter is all about navigating that transition—out of survival mode, out of hustle culture—and into what you actually came here to do.
We’re moving from Worker to Oracle. From performance to presence. From trying to earn abundance… to being witnessed in your magic and letting that be enough.
Inside this issue:
💤 Fatigue reframe: why rest is your actual portal to power
🎭 Releasing the urge to “prove” and learning how to be seen without performing
📚 The Artist’s Way, Weeks 9–12: Power, Compassion, Protection & Faith
🔥 Creative blocks as invitations: what they’re really trying to teach you
🌀 Self-protection, chaos riding, and the wild, wild way of your inner witch
💫 Uranus in Gemini: tuning into true inspiration vs mental static
🧠 Real-world ways to slow down and still stay in your genius
This isn’t about doing more. It’s about feeling first. Thinking second. Letting your body lead. And moving like someone who knows her presence is the spell.
Let’s get into it. 💜
🧘🏾♀️ Fatigue Is Not Failure: It's A Signal
Fatigue is not a glitch—it’s the sacred pause between spells.
If you’ve been tired, foggy, or just over it lately, you’re not broken. You’re being recalibrated. Your nervous system is processing more energy than usual, especially with this Pisces–Virgo axis shift and all the retrogrades lighting up the cosmic sky like a disco ball. Rest is not lazy. Rest is strategy.
💡 Reframe: “I do not push. I pulse.”
Every time you slow down, you let Source catch up to you. The next big idea? It’s on its way. But it won’t land if you’re constantly sprinting on fumes. Stop trying to prove your worth through effort. You’re not a factory. You’re a portal.
✨ March Astrology: Cosmic Weather Report
This month has been PACKED. Let’s keep it cute and clear with what to watch:
Major Cosmic Influences
🔥 Venus Retrograde in Aries – Passion, but make it personal. You’re being asked to fall back in love with your own energy before you try to pour it into someone else.
💬 Mercury in Aries (Retrograded March 15) – Mind your words. Big passion, but don’t let your mouth write checks your nervous system can’t cash.
🌊 Neptune into Aries (March 30) – A whole new era of spiritual fire begins. Get ready to lead from your intuitive edge.
🌞 Sun into Aries (March 20) – Happy Astrological New Year! Reclaim your spark. Set fresh intentions.
🌕 Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo (March 14) – You can’t organize your way out of emotional clutter. Let go. Burn the old blueprint.
Your Action Plan Into April:
Rest → so your visions can land.
Revisit old ideas → they’re coming back with upgrades.
Reflect → especially on what your body is asking for.
Release → anything you’re doing out of fear or obligation.
The next newsletter will dig deeper into Neptune in Aries and this Virgo Full Moon. We’re getting very witchy and practical. Stay tuned. 🐺
🎨 Creative Awakening: Artist’s Way Recap (Weeks 9–12)
The last few weeks have been...intense. Not just astrologically, but energetically—especially when it comes to creative identity and emotional autonomy. If you’ve been riding the emotional rollercoaster, you’re not alone. The final chapters of The Artist’s Way aren’t for the faint of heart—they’re for those ready to break free from creative illusions and reclaim their autonomy as creators, not performers.
Here’s a quick walk through the forest:
🔥 Week 9: Recovering a Sense of Compassion We looked dead in the face of our inner critic and said, “nah, not today.” This week was about healing old wounds, especially those that made us feel like we had to earn our creativity. The truth is—your creativity is your birthright. No permission slips needed.
🛡 Week 10: Recovering a Sense of Self-Protection If boundaries make you squirm, this one hit hard. We explored how to protect our energy from dream-snatchers, time-vampires, and even our own over-functioning selves. Self-protection isn’t selfish—it’s sacred. It’s how we stay in alignment with the work we came here to do.
💃🏽 Week 11: Recovering a Sense of Autonomy Let’s get real: how often have you outsourced your creative joy to the approval of others? This week we reclaimed our right to create for ourselves. To get weird. To be misunderstood. To not explain the magic to anyone not ready to receive it. We stopped asking for permission to be powerful.
🌕 Week 12: Recovering a Sense of Faith This final chapter was a return to Source. A deep remembering that the Muse is not out there, waiting to be summoned—she lives inside you. Faith isn’t blind hope, it’s the embodied knowing that your creativity is divine, inevitable, and always calling you home.
✨ Whether you’ve been attending every Thursday or sitting on the fence thinking “I’ll start when I have time”—this is your sign. Join us. The path opens when you step onto it.
🗓 Classes are every Thursday at 5PM MST. You’ll get all the replays + extras when you become a member of the Midnight Scholar Society (recordings available until the first week of April).
📚 Book Club Corner: Chapter 14 — La Selva Subterranea Initiation in the Underground Forest
🗓 Next Session: Tuesday, March 25th | 5:00–7:00 PM MST
We’ve entered the woods. This chapter is a descent. A spiral into the sacred dark where the Wild Woman whispers through the trees and truth rises from the forest floor like mist. This is not a chapter you read—this is one you live through.
That’s why we’re breaking this down into two sessions, covering Initiations 1–3 first, then 4–7 the following month. Every initiation deserves time, breath, and presence. No rushing through sacred rites of passage.
These sessions are live. Come ready to feel, to reflect, and to remember.
💭 What we’ll explore:
What it means to truly descend—spiritually, emotionally, creatively.
Why death is always present at the gate of rebirth.
How to tell the difference between surviving...and becoming.
Grab your journal. Brew something warm. This chapter is a spell.
⚡️ Uranus in Gemini: Genius or Chaos? Learn the Difference
Uranus in Gemini is about to stir the mental airwaves—starting July. But we're already feeling the static. Ideas are flying in fast. Some are pure downloads. Others are junk mail.
Here’s how to tell the difference:
🌈 Real Inspiration Feels Like...
✅ Clarity – It’s a clean YES in your body, even if the idea is wild.
✅ Peaceful Excitement – There’s no panic, just that inner sparkle.
✅ Flow – You start taking action without forcing yourself.
✅ Synchronicities – The world mirrors it back (random convo, book, sign).
✅ Timelessness – You lose track of time doing it. Soul says, “more.”
🌀 Chaotic Noise Feels Like...
❌ Mental Loops – You’re stuck THINKING about the thing but not moving.
❌ Anxiety or Urgency – If it’s a “DO THIS NOW OR DIE,” it’s a no.
❌ Fragmented Attention – Can’t focus. Everything feels important. Nothing gets done.
❌ Spiritual Bypassing – It feels too good to be true...because it is.
💡 Quick Tip:
When you get an idea, ask: Does this land in my heart or just swirl in my head?
If it makes your chest expand and your jaw unclench...that's real. That’s yours. The rest? Let it pass like clouds.
We'll be talking about this a lot more as Uranus settles in for its 7-year residency in Gemini. But now's the time to practice discernment, build your energetic filters, and train your intuition to spot signal vs. static.

A handful of my signature courses are still available at $50, but only for a hot minute. Most of the flash sale items have already returned to their full price, but I left the door cracked open just enough for the right ones to slip through.
This is your chance to grab:

🌙 Your Soft Life Sign-Off
You made it through a tidal wave of astro-chaos, deep creative recalibrations, and layered transformation—steady and aware. That’s not small.
This season isn’t asking you to push. It’s asking you to listen.
To move with precision.
To act only when aligned.
If you’re still here—still present, still open, still curious—then you’re exactly where you need to be.
🌊
Take a long bath.
Stand still in sunlight.
Sit with your ancestors.
Write something no one will read.
Create something messy.
Let someone see you.
Your softness is sacred.
Your slowness is strategy.
Your joy is a quiet rebellion.
We’re not grinding—we’re attuning.
We’re not producing—we’re remembering.
And if no one’s named it for you lately:
✨ You are doing this beautifully.
Until next time,
Francina Simone
Founder, Midnight Scholar Society
