Blood Moon Eclipse in Virgo, Mercury is about to go Retrograde, Resilience and Spring Equinox! Phew!

Happy Magickal, Merry, Moodling, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

I don’t know about you but the Spring Equinox and Eclipse energy are fully ramping up! 

My dreams have been rather odd (cool, but odd) and my brain and body are making me really look at the seeds that I am intentionally planting, both figuratively and literally.

This week we get the glorious Virgo Blood Moon Eclipse on March 14th!  

This is the first eclipse of the year and the season.  

This is the perfect opportunity to assess, reflect and leave behind anything that is disturbing your balance or preventing you from achieving true harmony.

Now remember, eclipses uncover hidden emotions, beliefs, thought patterns and habits.  

They bring to the surface the bits and bobs we have been either trying to stuff into an already over cramped closet, or have continually swept under a rug (and we wonder why the rug has a bump in the middle!)

So if you have been feeling agitated, emotional or as I like to refer to it – “itchy, twitchy and bitchy”, I’m not surprised.  

With this being a Full Moon Eclipse.  Imagine the energy of a Full Moon intensified by 100, that is the energy this brings.  The releasing of a full moon, the uncovering of an eclipse and the deep, deep emotions of Virgo.  

“With the Blood Moon in Virgo, we are invited to step into some of this Virgo consciousness and to remember that within us too, flows a river of wisdom, strength, and wholeness. 

We are invited to connect with our inner being and to recognize that we have the power within to navigate whatever situation we may find ourselves in.

Returning to our own inner strength and intuition is going to be a powerful way to navigate this Eclipse energy. 

Remember that we too, are an extension of God/Goddess and connected to all of the Universe. We are far more powerful than we have ever been led to believe.”

Then on March 15th Mercury goes retrograde.  

Now instead of buying into the bad rap that Mercury retrograde gets, I invite you to weave it with the heart energy of this month, the blood moon eclipse energy and Equinox energy.

Take some time to slow down and re-lease, re-assess, re-imagine, re-create and re-member who the heck you are and what you want and why you want it.

(We are focusing on that in Flourish right now!)

Spring Equinox arrives in the Northern Hemisphere on March 20th. 

Ostara (Spring Equinox) is that delicious place of change.  

March has that energy of transition, caught between winter’s grasp and spring’s open arms.  

The Equinox brings the time when light is perfectly balanced with the darkness.  

It’s the time to re-lease the hold of winter and start planting your seeds of intention!  This is a supremely powerful time to work with Mumma Nature’s energy.

Which all ties into the energy of this Month, the Full Blood Moon and how to step into our resilience.

And again, as I said – I have created a super yummy offering called Rooted in Resiliency, that you can do at your own pace with a community to share ideas with and that will be coming out next week along with more information on the Spring Equinox.

Okay, with all that being said – let’s crack on with the reading.  When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to share their wisdom and insight with you this week, the glorious “Love Your Inner Goddess” guides came out big and bold.  Now if these are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it would be rude not to).  

“These guides have come to help you awaken and express your divine feminine spirit, to live from your heart, to empower your true self – and to discover your sacred rebel within, to say no to the voices of fear and hate and become a voice for love, truth and spirit on the earth.  Living as a soul, with truth, takes real courage in this world.  We are often taught to follow the rules and be a good boy or girl – and that if we do this, everything will be OK.  

Your inner goddess thinks that is a bunch of nonsense.  She wants so much more for you.  She wants you to live a beautiful divine destiny.  She will show you how to be a loving rebel, breaking the rules that go against your heart and soul, changing the game and playing from the heart.  She’ll show you how to live the life that is meant only for you.  

You are meant to stir up healing change and be a voice for what is wise, loving and true.  There are issues in our own lives and the world that need to change, that need to be healed.  Your inner goddess knows how to bring about healing change with love, playfulness, courage and dignity.  She is a fearless minx who will help you dance, love, storm and laugh your way into a more beautiful world, created from the heart. “ 

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a gander shall we?

ON YOUR OWN TERMS

You are not the person you once were.  You know it, but others might not always be ready to let the old you go so easily.  Do not allow yourself to be shoved back into patterns of behaviour that are not true to who you are now.  You have worked hard to grow and become this new self.  Believe that she is more real than the old you, even if she is less familiar to others (and maybe even to you) at this stage.

All that will change, and what is new now will become familiar and easy for you to sustain in the near future.  Be stubborn in a good way whilst you – and others around you – come to realise that the new you is the real you.  

Others may offer their input, but when it comes down to it, it is you alone making your life decisions.  Your choice may once have been to meet the expectations and honour the opinions of other people – but you are aware now that the best choices for you actually honour your own heart, irrespective of whether others understand your reasons or feelings.

You might have to practice not feeling guilty or selfish about choosing to live your life in the way that suits your soul.  You might have to be patient with those around you who need some time to get out of the habit of expecting you to do as you are told.  It may take some time for them to adjust to the way you are now, behaving and thinking based on your own inner guidance.

You now know that you don’t have to wait for permission.  You get to choose how you want to feel, how you want to live, and who you want to be.  You’re ready for the responsibility and sweet reward of living your life on your own terms.  

WARRIOR GODDESS

This is not a time to play it safe, nor is it time to allow another to take the lead in your life.  You need to believe in yourself and trust that the instincts guiding you are correct.  If you need to take action, do it.  Speak up: say yes; say no.  Trust your inner truth completely.

Be bold.  

The Universe will answer your boldest actions with affirmation, and you’ll move through the consequences of your actions with grace and courage, ending up exactly where you are meant to be.

You are ready.  Life has been preparing you.  Your experiences have made you stronger and wiser.  You have spirit and you have courage.  Believe in yourself!  You are a Warrior Goddess, and empowered, divine woman.

Trust that your foundations are strong.  Put your faith in the Universe.  It has been your life coach and guide all along, helping you build up your inner resources, encouraging you to realise the power that has always been within you.

The Universe believes in you.

When you feel it is time to take a step, take it with confidence.  When you ask for help from the Universe, ask with boldness and total confidence that your prayers will be answered in the best possible way.  You have the right to require that your personal space be respected.  You have divine permission and encouragement to claim your rightful place in the world.  You are meant to say no to behaviour that is dishonest, manipulative and bullying.

The warrior goddess uses her sacred anger to set a boundary and speak her truth, not to attack another.  She uses her inner fire to live with integrity, even if the right choices for her seem hard or frightening at the time.  She knows that the Universe has her back, so she is willing to be true to herself no matter what.  

She places integrity above all else.  She knows that compromising her self-respect to win a battle will end up losing her the war.  

YOU ARE THE LIGHT

You are going through a spiritual initiation.  This is happening because you are ready for it, even if it doesn’t always feel that way.  The way to pass this test is to rely on the light within you.  Don’t let fear or doubt make you distrust the path ahead.

Don’t let fear or doubt make you distrust the path ahead.  Don’t give in to despair or believe that things will not work out.  You are learning to trust that the Universe knows what it is doing.  There are great and beautiful things meant for you, and no matter what appears to be right now, they will come to you in the perfect way and at the perfect time.

Light is powerful.  Some people don’t understand this.  The fear in their hearts makes them cynical.  That fear stops them from seeing what is true.  In the absence of truth, they hold on to their judgements instead.  They scoff at what they don’t understand.  Be careful of allowing such people to influence you.  

It’s not wise to take advice from people who are investing in creating pain.  You can have compassion for them, but you must not underestimate how their negativity can taint your trust in the Universe.  When we feel the light within us, when we trust in it, we are able to move beyond the fear and negativity that exists in this world.  You have it within you to be that light.

The only thing that can trap you is the choice to believe in the negative and give in to the fear.  

That’s not you, so don’t choose that for yourself.  Don’t listen to people who would cause you to question the light.  The light within you is the real you.  

Be at peace, beautiful one, for the positive power of the light in you is stronger than any darkness.    Keep your faith in the light.  All will be well.  

Holy Hannah, you seriously can not make this shit up! Releasing old patterns, being bold and being the light.  Now more than ever we all need that!  So delicious lovely, I wish for you a fabulous week filled with ease, joy and deep belly chortles.  May you always remember how special and important you are and that the world needs YOU!  Big hugs and squeezes. 

See you next week where we dive into Ostara and Rooted in Resiliency.
