Love & Light family! I pray you are all safe during these unsettling times. It has been just about a month since COVID-19 was deemed a worldwide pandemic. In the following weeks, we have seen closures all across our country and the world alike. Schools, businesses, places of worship, have all been closing down. Major events and festivals have had to be canceled or postponed. Every day we tune into new updates around social distancing and when we will finally be allowed outside. Many are starting to feel restless with the measures and just want to break free. It really does feel like 2020 is canceled.
Let’s look to the cosmos for some answers! At the beginning of the year we discussed some of the major energies for this year. We had a lot of activity going on in the sign of Capricorn, which is the sign of hard work and independence. Jupiter and Saturn were both in Capricorn. Jupiter the planet of expansion was asking us to expand the way we look at work. Saturn, the planet of boundaries and restriction, was asking us to look at how we will set boundaries and deal with work restrictions. The Cosmos was giving us an indication that big changes were on the horizon.
Now that we are in the middle of all these changes, what is the energy telling us today?
On April 22nd, we had a beautiful new moon in Taurus. We know from our past discussions, that new moons are times of setting new intentions. This magical new moon happened to fall on Earth Day. This is no coincidence as Taurus is the first earth sign of the zodiac, and Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus. This new moon brings love, sensuality and highlights our values and finances. Taurus is also a feminine energy, likewise the moon. So, this moon also ushered in a divine feminine energy, which helps honour and celebrate Mother Earth.
The way out of this confusion is to go through your heart. We don’t have work titles or status to define us right now with all these changes. Whether you are an essential worker or not, it is essential for you to define your purpose and highest self at your core. This will allow us to plant seeds that truly feed our intentions. What sets your spirit on fire? Where do you find motivation? What do you truly value?
With the fertile earth energy, we can plant seeds of joy, love, compassion and purpose. In the process you may come across feelings and experiences you have buried deep inside due to fear and trauma. As we start to tend the ground of our spirits, these issues may come to surface to be weeded out and replaced with seeds of intention and purpose that will feed your soul.
2020 is not canceled it is being restructured! Use this time to restructure your mindset and perspective. You have the opportunity now to restructure your reality. We can’t give up on our goals and dreams because we want things to be “normal” again. Everything shouldn’t go back to normal. Normal wasn’t always effective. Let’s use the fertile energy to birth a new normal, to lay a new foundation and begin to build a new world. Get grounded in this earth energy. If you take the in earth and rearrange the letters, we get HEART! The way out is through your heart, your love, passion and purpose. It is your blueprint to restructure.
2020 is not canceled, it’s being restructured!
