GODDESS HERSTORY

As we approach the Vernal Equinox, the waxing Moon from Pisces to Libra begins the process of ending one cycle and connects you to another.

The past two weeks in Pisces was a wonderful chance to reflect on your life, looking at the past in order to envision where you want to go in the future. It was a great time to let go of outdated life patterns, so you feel wholesome and rejuvenated without inauthentic “baggage” holding you down. 
​
Because of Pisces’ ability to transcend boundaries, many cultures recognize this Moon as a “passing over” and the next Aries Moon as a “resurrection” of a new beginning.

As Mercury retrogrades in Pisces, Libra the balancer steps in to reconcile the duality of Pisces asking you to meditate on what you want to let go of as well as what you envision moving forward. Doing so will bring you closer to what is destined to be on your life path. Libra makes connections, fits the pieces together, balances, and harmonizes, opening the doorway of the Vernal Equinox, entering into a whole new level of being and refreshing your spirit as you approach the Aries New Moon on April 5, 2019

The Libra Full Moon deepens your awareness between your identity and the more intimate relationships in your life, whether through people or the things you love in life. The focus is on moving forward with who or what makes you feel comfortable and secure about being who you are, or brings greater emotional security into your life, and therefore makes you feel confident about who you are. 

There are ample opportunities for self-healing to take place. Watch for moments of insecurity, not valuing yourself foremost or needing to prove yourself to others. Vet out perceived failings or weaknesses in your identity, self-awareness, will power, and purpose in your life direction. Be careful to not be hasty, irritable, impatient, aggressive, or hot-headed and act on confusion and disillusionment towards yourself and others. 

The key is to build healthy self-confidence, self-love, and respect by loving and being yourself and not feeling the need to prove yourself to others or be someone you are not, in order to feel the love, respect and connections you are seeking.   

Has Mercury retrograde in Pisces helped you to have a clear picture or are things confusing or unclear?  Are you able to be decisive and make decisions to have the right relationships in your life? Are you drawing upon the right connections from your past in order to envision how you need to move forward? Is your life balanced, not feeling pulled in one direction at the expense of another?  Are you centered and whole in your being? 
​
These are the questions to ask leading up to the Aries New Moon April 5th. By then, Mercury will be out of retrograde and will make for an opportune time to express yourself with a firmer footing, releasing fear and building upon better structures to move forward gaining greater maturity, stability and self-confidence.  ​

After cleaning house, managing daily tasks, closing doors, and saying no to what does not allow you to be yourself, you’ve arrived at the entrance of the sublime; the Pisces New Moon, March 6, 2019.

The pace slows and induces a reflective, visionary quality. Past patterns of behavior, relationships, career moves - any important moments are reviewed.  As you end this cycle, you also conjure images of your desires moving forward, allowing you to bring divine inspiration down into practical form this spring.

Don’t be alarmed if you suddenly feel cloudy, lazy, lack will power, or start to doubt your aims. 

Neptune’s job is to dissolve outdated life patterns you no longer need to identify with, so that you feel wholesome and hurdle over daily challenges without inauthentic “baggage” weighing you down. 

Virgoan themes, such as purifying, utilizing tools, and boundary setting will still be important. Sensitive souls will benefit by practicing energetic protection, as some may, albeit unconsciously, test your thresholds. 

If so, Pisces provides the understanding of human suffering, compassion, forgiveness, and kindness. Spiritualism, mysticism, and connections to the ethereal realms are also heightened.

At the moment, major planetary shifts are awakening the desire to heal our masculine dominated society by aligning with more feminine value systems for greater security and stability.

You may feel the impulse to initiate on it now, but the time is better spent allowing yourself to dream away, conjure up and indulge in visualizing all of your desires and inspirations to initiate on this spring. Take a deep breath, sit back, relax, stretch out, yawn, daydream, close your eyes, even for just a second, and drift into a state of inner peace. Rest and rejuvenate your inner sanctuary. Become friendly with the softer, creative, imaginative sides of life. Anything that allows you to turn off the logical brain and escape in a dream world is the best way to utilize this energy.

It is not the time to act on brand new endeavors just yet, but to renew your beliefs and desires in attaining your dreams. Mercury retrograde on the same day will help you to contemplate and visualize your ideal dream life more deeply. Deliberate action will be better served when Mercury is out of retrograde next month and we arrive at the Aries New Moon. For now, apply your inspirations towards redoing things that need a new image, anything which instills your beliefs towards attaining your dreams, and pondering how to incorporate your visions into your daily life will be most beneficial.

Saturn will help you to set goals, structures, plans, organize, and be grounded in reality, having both the vision and commitment towards making your dreams come true. Watch for opportunities to elevate your maturity and authority along the way. 

Self-healing and a more complete picture will become noticeable by the Libra Full Moon in two weeks when epiphanies will surface on how to move forward and who will be with you, incorporating balance and beauty along the way.
