UNRULY QUEENS
Yep, we’re the Queens that left the palace + crowned ourselves in the underworld...
Venus is descending + right now, she’s prepping for her time in the underworld, a period of time that begins on November 26th where she goes off grid + is out of notification range.
Now, when she’s in THIS phase, she really is our matron saint of all things unruly.
+ what I’ve found is that the world doesn’t seem to “mind” an unruly woman…
until that unruly woman dares to puts her crown on, that is.
Because while an unruly woman is considered a “bit of a nuisance”, an unruly woman with sovereignty + power?
Oh now SHE is a threat.
She’s a woman that they can’t predict, can’t punish + can’t place.
NOTE: Who are “they” you ask?
They’re the committee of people who’ve never risked being FULLY alive, who are fact-checking your opinions + who’d LOVE, more than anything, for you to put your appetite on mute - YAWWWWWWWWN.
If, as Venus is entering the underworld, you find yourself choosing the dark hallway over the fluorescent corridor - I KNOW YOU KNOW - it’s because your instincts live THERE.
TRUST THAT.
Venus in the Underworld IS the unruly woman’s initiation + YOU, choosing to enter, is YOU, declaring to yourself: “I’m not following your rules anymore, I’m following mine.”
The societal scripts for women written by those who want to keep us small + grateful for crumbs?
We rip them up and burn them in the underworld.
Good girl conditioning?
Good girl? Who is SHE? We don’t know her in the underworld.
In the underworld, there’s no one to impress, we’re not looking for applause, we’re remembering + retrieving our power.
WHAT’S REAL + WHAT MATTERS.
In the underworld is where we become UNRULY QUEENS.
Yep, we’re the Queens that left the palace.
Queens - real queens, archetypal queens, stage + page queens - were ALL unruly.
They had to be.
You don’t get to be Eartha Kitt by being agreeable.
You don’t get to be Virginia Woolf by being digestible.
You don’t get to be Gypsy Rose Lee by being modest.
You don’t get to be Marie Antoinette by being palatable.
You get to be THESE kind of women by breaking rules, expectations AND illusions (+ then, in some cases walking away in your kitten heels, completely unbothered because you know who you are + you know your worth!)
What I KNOW is that Queens of the underworld - that’s you + me - do NOT follow rules. They write their own. (Usually in inky red pen on the thirstiest paper) because they KNOW that:
Being unruly means being UNOWNED.
+ FYI: Unruly is NOT the opposite of Queen.
Being unruly is HOW we remember that we’re a mother-loving Queen in the first place.
If you’re feeling the pull right now + that MIGHT feel like…
- You’re tired of branding + perfecting yourself
- You’re done trying to be “relatable”, palatable + good,
- You’re sick of having to be selfless + resilient (ugh)
- You’re bored of being “strategic”
THAT’S the Underworld calling.
That’s Venus tapping her manicured red nail on the table in the back booth + the Queens of Tarot nodding in unison like, “finally.”
The guardian with the bejewelled hands has already unhooked the rope.
She’s seen your face a thousand times - in mirrors, in myths, in the eyes of women who finally decided to stop behaving.
“Welcome home,” she says + she means it, because SHE knows that YOU know, that the point of all this is not to become feral or a nuisance - you’ve NO INTEREST IN THAT, it’s to become FULLY YOURS.
To be the woman who can walk into any room -boardroom, bedroom, backroom - + stay IN YOUR POWER. To know your appetites, trust your no + love your life in colours the rulebook forgot existed.
We begin our work together in the underworld on the 22nd November - THIS SATURDAY.
Because unruly queens don’t fall in line.
They descend, by choice + re-emerge, self-crowned + powerful.
+ it looks like you’re already halfway down the stairs to the speakeasy, you can already hear the pianist playing a song that sounds a LOT like your favourite kind of trouble + the air smells like rose + oud…
COME DOWN, ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO THE UNDERWORLD, UNRULY QUEEN! (+ leave it up to a Scorpio - ME - to turn the ‘underworld’ into a 1920’s style Parisian speakeasy for the soul - this IS Venus in the Underworld after all!) + join me + the many other glorious unruly queens that have already said YES to themselves + their power for: SATURDAY CLUB: IT’S A QUEEN THING!
During our 5 months together, you WILL experience, in real-time, a living rite of passage.
One that rewires how you relate to power, desire, truth, and worth. We’ll meet the Queens of Tarot (+ their stage + page counterparts) + together, in the dark, we’ll retrieve our magic + power.
It’s an antidote to burnout, overwhelm + over-giving + it’s a container to reclaim your sovereignty - month by month, queen by queen - so that by the time Venus rises as Evening Star, you are no longer running on fumes, reacting to life, or outsourcing your power.
YOU ARE THE ONE WEARING THE MOTHER-LOVING CROWN.
See you in the dark.
P.S. If your whole body just exhaled, please know that your name is already on the list, you simply need to come claim it.
SATURDAY CLUB begins THIS SATURDAY the 22 November.
