Hi :)

Recently I sent an update in some of my newsletters that my written horoscopes have been moved to my Secret Star Portal and that you could access my free syndicated monthly horoscope podcasts through my www.CozybySweetStarlight.com on the pages where the written horoscopes used to be. But since I have gotten numerous emails from those not being able to find the written horoscopes, I wanted to send out an email only on this topic, so that the information wouldn't be lost in longer emails like it must have in the past sends.

Please note that THIS DOES NOT CHANGE the info that I have been sending in my email news flow. My monthly general astrological write-up is still free to my VIP community, as are the other updates, relevant blog links, private offers, and my monthly astrology education series will continue to be sent as usual. I also intend to continue to offer free Youtube horoscopes monthly along with the syndicated podcast version of the material.

Some of you may wonder/ask why I moved the written horoscopes to my exclusive content portal so I will just answer that here so you don't have to inquire about it. I have been offering free education on astrology and other topics for 20 years, and specifically in the last 11 years I have had my free offerings kicked up to a level that one could call unreasonable, and I am very proud to say that have supported, guided, and educated hundreds of thousands of people for decades with no expectation of exchange whatsoever. I feel very good about this as I believe in the model of free education and take great joy in offering it. I do intend to continue offering free education for a long to come. 

But the AMOUNT of free content and the ENERGY I have had to exchange to keep up the level of free content I have been doing for so long, has been unsustainable and has left me with an energetic imbalance that has negatively affected my health.

I don't tend to talk too much about my home life publicly but I will tell you in my VIP crew that besides all I do with my work, I have been a homeschooling Mom for a long time. It is very demanding but my favorite thing to do. As my kids are getting older, that job has gotten even more rigorous (No, algebra is not any more fun the second time around than it was when I was a kid!) I have been able to keep everything in my work up (a lot to do there, Youtube informed me that I made more than 60,000 personal responses to posts just on my channel alone!) while keeping up being the primary kiddo caretaker and educator but the place that prioritizing work and home has not left much energy for is my health. I have really struggled with autoimmune issues, especially over the last 10 years, and it has not always been easy for me to show up for everyone. It seems almost miraculous that I have been able to use my "tools", the same ones that I have shared with you all this time through my various outlets, to be able to keep great energy and functionality overall without having to use pharmaceutical interventions. The work really works! But I have known that my model of excess giving has been unsustainable and rather than feel like I am letting anyone down (something I have done crazy things to avoid), I have pushed on. Besides wanting to keep everyone happy as a foundational layer of my expression, I also sometimes have a hard time with how mean and critical people are publicly (especially annoying when people criticize a FREE service, the NERVE, really?!) 

I won't get into all of the astrological details of the things clashing in my chart that are facilitating these experiences (although I do share personal chart situation and discoveries with the participants in my Becoming a Professional Astrologer Mastery Course, as I have learned so much through watching my chart through all of this, that I pass along my discoveries to my apprentices) but I will tell you that since last October, things have been extra rough. Starting with getting a direct hit of one of the strongest hurricanes to ever make landfall! I could go on but it isn't necessary. I don't feel bad for myself and I don't want you to, either! I am empowered in my process and fully expecting that I will regain my exceptionally vibrant health. I have a plan and I am finally taking big action on the big lessons and the core pieces that have been holding the pattern together.

What I really want to convey has to do with the beautiful symphony of factors orchestrated by the Universe. I have had a tough year (after many years prior that weren't super easy, either) but it has taken this string of excess difficulties for me to get the lesson. 

The lesson for me is this: Being generous of heart and action is a wonderful and inspiring and makes the world a better place BUT giving to the point of your own detriment is not sustainable and energy systems that aren't sustainable dissolve away. I don't want to be a system that dissolves away from unsustainability! So I am taking necessary actions.

So, you may have noticed some scaling back in some of my offerings. This has been out of necessity. If I had addressed my terror of letting people down sooner, maybe I could have scaled down voluntarily instead of the circumstances making it be required. But we are all a little slow to get those deeply ingrained negative belief systems worked out sometimes as the level of work it takes to crack out of a deeply-rooted matrix takes time and focus.

In an effort to keep the majority of my free offerings free, I have made some adjustments, including moving my written horoscopes to my Secret Star Portal. If you haven't already joined my Secret Star Portal, you can do so here. You will find my written horoscopes there monthly (one month early), and a massive amount of exclusive content. 

Check this link for a list of some of what you will find in my Secret Star Portal (with new content monthly). I just posted my written horoscopes for December 2023 (November's are there, too) and later this month, I will also be adding my 2024 Astrological Tides report so you know really early, the flow of personal planet retrogrades and the open periods for taking bold actions (get your message in a bottle out to sea!) free from their mischief and when it is time to chill in your "web" and let food come to you.

I know that it is part of my purpose to continue sharing the things I know with you all and I am very excited to continue doing that and regardless of whether you join me in my Secret Star Portal, or not, I will continue giving as much as I can for free while finding and staying in a beautiful balance that allows for all areas of my life to thrive. 

I hope you stick with me but if somehow you are angry about the shifts, then you have my blessings to leave my communities, just please, don't complain to me about it and be aware of how damaging that type of criticism can be to a person and the type of negative karma it can boomerang back to you. 

I am working on your VIP write up for January 2024 (you will have it by email in a few weeks) and the public podcasts and videos for January 2024, which will be up sooner.

I give great thanks for you for giving me a reason to do what I love and stay on track for my purpose. 

with Gratitude,

Annie
