combatting conditioning | mars in gate 28 | october 15th - 22nd, 2023

Welcome to Combatting Conditioning, a brand new series from me, Jaclyn Michelle of interior creature.

Periodically, I'll be popping onto the blog to zoom in on a major gate transit and sharing some journal prompts for effective shadow work & deep de-conditioning.

Today, Mars moves into Gate 28, The Gate of the Game Player, which is ruled by Scorpio and lives in the Spleen Center. This gate asks us to get honest about our conditioned habits, patterns, beliefs, and behaviors around risk taking.
