Love and Light Family!
We have sprung forward into more light; we definitely can all use more love right now in our world. The last time we spoke, we were in the middle of Mercury Retrograde. We discussed how the slowing down of Mercury’s speed affects our thoughts and communication, as these are the areas Mercury influences.
With Mercury being in Pisces, it was an intense emotional rollercoaster for many. The issues that came to the surface may have been difficult and uncomfortable. We were faced with these issues to finally find healing and solutions. Sometimes we have to wade in the murky waters to find our treasure. It might messy, but the journey is worth it.
Well, guess what? Mercury retrograde is over! We have survived the first retrograde of the decade. The last six weeks have brought us new lessons and challenges. Mercury is still in the shadow phase for the next three weeks, which means it’s resuming its original speed. It’s during this time we gain more clarity about our lessons and we can start applying solutions. What have you learned? Were you triggered emotionally? How do you respond to your emotions or the emotions of others? What have you learned about yourself since the beginning of the year? Through self-exploration, we learn what our triggers are and how to better protect your energy moving forward.
On March 9th, we had our last Full Moon of the cosmic year. Like we have discussed before, Full Moons are times of gratitude and release. As the moon grows in size so do our goals and aspirations. The Full Moon brings things to fruition. The days after the Full Moon it begins to decrease in size. This is a good time to do release work. As we have just gone through the retrograde season, we have many things to be thankful for and definitely a lot of releasing to do before our cosmic New Year.
Our Full Moon was in the sign of Virgo. Virgo is an earth sign, symbolic of the virgin. Virgo is the sign of perfection, organization, and service to others. After the lessons we have learned thus far, how can we perfect mastering our energy and emotions? What areas of our lives need to be reorganized for us to be more effective and successful? How can we use our experiences to bring healing to others?
Full Moons illuminate what is hidden in the dark. It has the ability to shine a new perspective into our lives. Spring is all about new beginnings. This spring we begin to plant seeds not only for this year but also for the decade ahead. It’s time for spring-cleaning. De-clutter your space; reorganize your home and office. More importantly, do a spring clean of you! De-clutter your mind and face your fears. Do an emotional audit of your life. Virgo strives for perfection, but Virgo is also it’s the biggest self-critic. Do not let thoughts of doubt and anxiety cloud your judgment, especially during this shadow phase.
We are clearing out old energy patterns, old beliefs, self-sabotaging behaviors, and thoughts. This is a brand-new time. Fear limits our perspectives of ourselves. Fear keeps us hostage in our own minds, prisoners of our emotions. We have an opportunity to respond to life in a brand-new way. Like an old song says, “Free your mind and the rest will follow.”
We are being bombarded by fear porn on a daily basis. Since the year has begun, we have dealt with tremendous amounts of grief, loss, and instability. Now Coronavirus has taken over the airwaves with new updates of this deemed pandemic. Stores are running out of sanitizers and masks. Travel bans are being put in place and we are still unclear about just how dangerous the virus is.
We are in a state of fear. Fear compromises our immune system and can make things far worse than they are. This is why it is pertinent we do our own self-work. We need to be grounded during times of change.
