Long before Persephone, before Hades, before the Greek underworld myths, there was Inanna.

The Sumerian goddess of love, beauty, power, and kingship.

One day, Inanna chose to descend into the underworld ruled by her sister Ereshkigal. This was not an accident. It was not a kidnapping. It was a decision.

Before she entered, she dressed in her finest regalia. Her crown. Her lapis beads. Her breastplate. Her royal robes. The symbols of her status and identity.

At the first gate, she was told to remove her crown.
At the second, her earrings.
At the third, her necklace.
At the fourth, her breastplate.
At the fifth, her ring.
At the sixth, her measuring rod and line.
At the seventh gate, she stood naked.

With each gate, a layer was stripped away. Not just fabric, but title. Authority. Persona. Power as the world recognized it.

By the time she reached the throne of the underworld, she was no longer Queen of Heaven. She was simply herself.

And there, she was judged. Struck down. Hung on a hook like a co**se.

This is not a gentle myth.

It is shadow work in its oldest form.

Inanna’s descent represents what happens when life strips you of everything you thought defined you. The relationship ends. The title changes. The identity shifts. The illusions fall away.

Breakups do this. Betrayal does this. Loss does this.

You walk through gates you never wanted to enter. And at each one, something is taken. Your certainty. Your image of the future. Your sense of who you are.

Until you stand in the dark without the roles you once clung to.

The myth asks a question that is uncomfortable but necessary.

If your crown is removed, who are you?
If your relationship ends, who are you?
If the version of yourself you built dies, what remains?

Inanna does not stay dead. She is eventually restored. But she does not rise unchanged. A sacrifice is required for her return. The descent alters her forever.

Rebirth is not returning to who you were. It is becoming someone forged by what you survived.

So here is the real question.

What parts of you must die before you are reborn?

And are you brave enough to walk through the gates without clinging to what is already being taken?

Early Morning Sky Alert – February 2026 🌌

Set your alarms, skywatchers! In the final days of February 2026, the pre-sunrise sky will put on a rare and beautiful show as six planets gather along the same path in the sky.
Just before dawn on February 28, the eastern horizon will host Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, all visible along the ecliptic — the Sun’s apparent path. This graceful arc isn’t a true line in space, but a stunning perspective effect created by the planets sharing nearly the same orbital planet.

✨ What you’ll notice
Venus will dominate the scene, glowing brilliantly
Jupiter will shine bright and steady
Mars shows a subtle reddish color
Saturn appears softer with a golden tone
Uranus & Neptune are faint — binoculars or a telescope needed

👀 Where to look Face east, with a clear, open horizon rooftops, hills, or trees can block the lower planets.

Clear Skies Everyone!

What looks “messy” to us is often life-saving habitat for wildlife. 🌿
Native flowers, fallen logs, and wild corners provide food and shelter for bees, butterflies, birds, and beneficial insects.
Even a small patch of native plants can become a mini-ecosystem right in your backyard.
Nature doesn’t need perfection — it needs space to live.
