The beginning of a new era. I was debating on whether I wanted to share this or not- there are some things that I feel like I don’t need to share with the world, but my blogs have also been a creative outlet for me to express myself. I have decided to surrender Kolohe to the amazing family that had volunteered to watch her. This decision did not come easy, she has been my rock for the past 5 and a half years. She was there for me when we lost Hoku (my other kitty), and when family, and friends passed. She’s been my emotional security blanket, and I had to sit down and ask myself, “would this only be benefiting you if you kept her?”
It was a serious question I had to face- and the truth is, it would have been for me.
I love having the freedom to just get up and leave. I love to travel, and I love spontaneous trips and adventures. It’s hard to do that when you have pets or children. She was my child, and it was never easy on her when I took trips. I would then put that responsibility on others. I’m so fortunate for friends or family stepping up when I would leave. However, it wasn’t their responsibility, and with the amount that I travel, it wasn’t fair on her.
Of course I turned to astrology to solidify what my na’au already knew. Jupiter is currently transiting my 6th house. The 6th house is the house of pets, and small animals, daily routines, work, health, and service. Jupiter amplifies anything it touches, it is the planet of abundance, growth, and expansion. Jupiter transiting my 6th house of pets would mean this would really be a beneficial change for her. Jupiter’s presence solidified the idea that she’s not losing anything- she’s gaining. It also confirmed freeing up my own daily life, and responsibilities or routines that were once tied to her, allowing me to fully focus on my path.
I’ve seen how happy she is with the family, she absolutely adores them! I couldn’t take that away from her, especially knowing I could never give her that kind of attention. Their lifestyle allows them to give Kolohe the full time love she needs and deserves. Kolohe even shows them her belly! Something she only ever did with me. I know Kolohe will comfort the family in times of rough obstacles, and life changes just as she did with me. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better family to take care of her. I am so happy that she’s happy- and in the end, that's really all that matters. Jupiter’s role is to remind us that sometimes letting go opens space for everyone to thrive, a moment when letting go is actually the most fortunate thing you can do. Maybe this was the plan the entire time, I think this family needed her as much as she needed them. This year the biggest themes for me have been to surrender. Surrender in moments of chaos or uncertainty- because some things are already written in the stars.
