#318 - Weekly Energy Update for March 31, 2024: Eclipse Season & Mercury Retrograde

That optimistic springtime vibe always happens in April. And Aries is mostly responsible for it. Until the 19th, we are still in the Aries season. Aries is known as the first spark of life. And that spark becomes even more intense this week. 
From tomorrow through the 25th, Mercury will be retrograde in Aries. On Thursday, Venus enters Aries for the month. Then, the most intense event of the year—the Total Solar Eclipse in Aries—occurs next week on Thursday, the eighth.
To say this week will be intense would be an understatement. You're not alone if you feel anxious, unsettled, agitated, or can't sleep. The weight of the world feels heavier right now.
With Mercury Retrograde in Aries, it’s important to think before speaking and not jump to conclusions. Aries is well known for its fiery, explosive, and passionate energy. It is the “god of war,” after all. Occasionally, this intensity can result in severe tantrums. With Mercury involved, this will show up as a miscommunication. Double-check your text messages and emails and think before speaking to avoid saying something that you may regret later.
The energy is building this week leading up to the Solar Eclipse. Allow extra time and build wiggle room in your schedule. Rest, reflection, and emergency naps are recommended. Make time to process everything that’s coming up.
We are in the thick of a powerful, transformative eclipse season. When Mercury retrogrades, it helps us rethink whether this is the direction we want our lives to go. Changes are rarely made when things are peaceful, simple, and going well. We often get our biggest epiphanies about things stirred up and we're knocked off course.
Allow yourself to marvel at the magic of life this week, And laugh. The best way through is with a sense of humor and plenty of laughter.

#317 - Weekly Energy Update for March 24, 2024: Lunar Eclipse

It's eclipse season! We've been building toward this all year. Eclipse season is when things ‘happen’. 
The eclipse portal opens on Monday with the Lunar Eclipse in Libra and closes on April 8 with the Solar Eclipse. We're entering a two-week eclipse portal of powerful energies, bringing swift shifts, epiphanies, intense experiences, and unexpected twists and turns.  All to help us align with our life's path and purpose. When an eclipse happens, we feel it!
While all eclipses are unpredictable, the sign it is in can give us clues as to the theme and energies of that eclipse. And this one is in Libra. Libra is the sign of relationships & partnerships. Libra is ruled by Venus, the love planet. This eclipse will spotlight matters of the heart to help us heal our relationships.
This energy is so powerful that we want to be emotionally prepared. The best approach is to relax and reflect. Take things slow and pay attention to what comes up.
We’re getting an energetic push forward right now. Sometimes, forward motion can feel disruptive to your nervous system, and you may resist it. But there’s no moving backward. When the Lunar Eclipse reveals something in your life that needs to be released, find the least dramatic way to do so and then move on.
This is a powerful time of fated events. Remember, all of this is happening for our highest good. We’re leveling up. There’s nothing to be afraid of. Just relax, reflect, and roll with it.

#315 - Weekly Energy Update for March 17, 2024: Spring Equinox Astrology

Change is in the air this week, as the sun shifts from dreamy Pisces to the fiery sign of Aries.  On Tuesday, March 19, the Equinox takes place, marking the beginning of Aries season and the astrological New Year.
The Equinox is a significant spiritual and astrological event that we can use to tap into the wisdom and energy of the Universe and Mother Earth.
The hours of light and dark are equal on the Equinox. It's one of the two days in the year when the earth is in balance, and it's much easier to find balance in our lives. Take a minute on the Equinox to consider where you may be out of balance. We’re starting a new chapter and we want to begin in balance. 
Along with the powerful Equinox energy, we also celebrate the start of the astrological year with the arrival of Aries season, the first sign of the zodiac. We’re beginning a new trip around the Sun that allows us to experience the energies and vibration of each of the twelve zodiac signs all over again.
The energy of Aries is bold, passionate, and motivated and energizes us. We can use this energy to jump-start something new. 
There’s a sense of excitement and anticipation in the air, thanks to the heightened energy of the upcoming Lunar Eclipse on March 25th. We want to use the Equinox energies to set intentions for what we want. There’s a powerhouse of energy available to us right now. There are no limits on what we can manifest. This energy is a gift, but it’s up to us to use it.

#314 - Weekly Energy Update for March 10,, 2024: Pisces New Moon

This morning, Sunday, March 10, at about the same time daylight savings time began, there was a new moon in Pisces. This is the last New Moon of winter, the astrological year, and Pisces season. With the Spring Equinox just over a week away and eclipse season starting only a week later. This is a pivotal time of change.
This moon has a lot of other planetary alignments that make it especially intense. It is creating space in our lives for something new. This is the beginning of something significant. This new moon jump-starts our future. 
This moon is the one they refer to as "shooting for the moon." This is the moon to reach for the highest aspirations possible, even if they seem difficult or out of reach. We’d be missing out if we didn’t use this moment to take seriously our wildest dreams.
It’s also important to be fully present on this new Moon. Limit your distractions. This new Moon is for being rather than doing.
Give yourself time to sprout. A lot is happening under the surface.  Set aside time to do nothing and let your mind wander and dream. Give your dream space to breathe. When things are ready, they will pop to the surface. For now, things can't be forced. Have patience.  
We're also, as of this weekend, officially in Eclipse season! Eclipse seasons begin about two weeks before the first eclipse. The energy of the upcoming eclipses is starting to intensify. The energy is building toward our transformation. To make room for new experiences, we’re letting go of old habits, thinking, and circumstances that no longer serve our highest good.  
Today’s New Moon is the last lunation before the game-changing eclipses come. Make the most of this time to ground yourself, get as much rest as possible, dream, and set your intentions for the future. Even while it could seem like nothing is happening, a lot is growing and stirring beneath the surface. Everything is happening precisely as it should.

#313 - Weekly Energy Update for March 3, 2024: March Astrology

Although March is the third month of the year, it is an 11-universal month according to numerology. An 11-month is for spiritual growth. It’s a powerful month for personal and spiritual development.
An 11-month is perfect for the astrology of March. March is an epically important month. With a lunar eclipse and the start of Aries season, this month is full of transitional energy.
Three planets are changing signs this month. The energy of our social lives, relationships, and energy levels shift as chatty Mercury, romantic Venus, and passionate Mars all change signs.
We celebrate the Equinox and the beginning of the astrological new year in the middle of the month. As Pisces season ends and Aries season begins, there’s potential for incredible new beginnings. This is fresh energy that gets us excited about the future. 
At the end of the month, relationships are likely to be on our minds when we begin our first Eclipse Season for the year. Eclipses are transformative, and this eclipse season the focus is on our relationships.
March is also the last month of the year that’ll be completely retrograde-free, allowing us to use this forward energy for new beginnings. It’s all systems go this month! March is for shedding old skin so we can embrace new beginnings.
Mercury enters fire sign Aries on Saturday, March 9th, moving out of dreamy Pisces. This shift lights a fire inside of us. Use this fiery energy to make forward progress before Mercury goes retrograde again next month. If there are projects you need to start, conversations you need to have, or loose ends you’d like to tie up, this is the time to do it. 
We begin a new cycle on Sunday, March 10th, when the New Moon occurs in Pisces. It's a lovely, dreamy, romantic new moon. This New Moon is one of the most powerful New Moons all year for visualizing and manifesting. 
This is the week before everything starts to shift, the week before Go time. Take a deep breath, appreciate the beauty of your life, and look forward to all the amazing things that lie ahead.

#312 - Weekly Energy Update for February 25, 2024: Leap Year Numerology

This week we celebrate the leap year.  A Leap Year happens once every four years and was created back in 45 BC by Julius Caesar to balance the calendar.
For centuries, Leap Day has been believed to hold spiritual power, mainly due to the numerology but also because it creates an energy portal that allows us to leap forward.
In numerology, the 29th's 2 and 9 added together totals 11. The number eleven has spiritual significance. It is a master number, the number of enlightenment and awakening.Since February is the second month of the year, its number is 2. Two holds the energy of your soul purpose. It's a feminine energy that supports us in giving birth to and manifesting our ideas in the physical world.February 29 is a unique energy that we only encounter once every four years. Because the 29th of February is such a rare vibration, it causes a type of ripple effect within us. This ripple creates an opportunity for us to “leap” forward at this moment in time and play catch up in our lives. 
We can leap forward in our own lives in the same way that the earth makes a "leap" around the sun on this extra day. It's an opportunity to catch up with the changes that have occurred in our lives. We've experienced a great deal of change recently, and this year will bring even more. We need a break and time to give our bodies, minds, and souls time to catch up with all that change.
Leap years are also believed to bring good luck and fortune. They are auspicious times for making important life choices or starting new things.
To make the best use of this energy,  try bringing awareness to something that you want to leap forward in your life. Decide what area you'd like to devote more time and energy to, then send your intentions out into the Universe to do just that. Consciously choose to leap forward.

#311 - Lunar Bath Ritual and Moon Cycles with Tori Daw

Celebrate the Virgo Full Moon with a Lunar Bath Ritual with Tori Daw of Healistic Reserve. We can use the power of the moon phases to connect with our higher selves and manifest our dreams through the sacred practice of lunar bath rituals. Baths help amplify and strengthen our connection with ourselves and the divine. 
 
Tori walks us through the moon's cycles and how each cycle affects us at the beginning of the podcast. The new moon offers the chance to start again and is a period of potential, ease, setting intentions, being present, and possibility.   
 
With the first quarter moon, the moon's energy is beginning to build. We start to feel more energized and take action to bring the intentions we set at the new moon into reality. The full moon is for releasing and letting go. The moon's energy is waning with the last quarter moon, making this the ideal time for shadow work.
 
The Lunar Bath Ritual starts at 25:25. 
 
Tori guides us through a Full Moon in Virgo Bath Ritual, but this ritual can be used for every moon. The secret of a lunar bath ritual is to be intentional at every step. 
 
Step 1 - Prep the bath space. Set the tone energetically to create a sacred bath ritual. Gather your scrubs, bath balms, candles, and crystals. Cleanse the energy of your space with incense or essential oils. 
Step 2 - Start your bath water. Be intentional about the energy of the water filling your tub.
Step 3 - Set your intentions for the bath with journaling. Align your mind and spirit with the intentions of the bath. 
Step 4 - Immerse yourself in the bath and visualize your energetic and physical body opening to the energies of the bath. 
Step 5 - Scrub and exfoliate to remove any energy blockages and drains. 
Step 6 - Use a guided meditation on your intentions for the bath. Inhale the lightness and clarity of authenticity. 
Step 7 - Drain the bath. Intentionally visualize everything you released going down the drain.
Step 8 - Massage the energies of the bath into your body with lotion after the bath. 
 
Tori Daw, the Founder and CEO of Healistic Reserve, defied the limitations of a tumultuous upbringing as the child of a narcissistic mother.

#310 - Weekly Energy Update for February 18, 2024: Pisces Season & Full Moon in Virgo

Today we enter Pisces season and are finally leaving some of the Aquarian energy that we've been in over the last four weeks behind.
Pisces is a magical, mystical, and emotionally intelligent sign. They are natural-born healers making Pisces season an excellent time to prioritize your inner healing. Because Pisces are so compassionate, you may be tempted to put other people's needs ahead of your own. It’s important to put yourself first this month.
Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the planet of spirituality, dreams, and mysticism. We’re more connected and intuitive this month and can have wild dreams.  Our subconscious and higher selves—including our guides—communicate with us through dreams. This month, pay attention to your dreams; they contain messages for you.
We feel more creative than usual in Pisces Season. The next few weeks are for pouring yourself into creative projects.  We had a lot of fresh ideas during Aquarius season, so now is the time to think of inventive and creative ways to carry them out.
Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac and is believed to hold a little energy of all the other 11 signs. This is a magical time of the year when we can focus on clearing out the old and getting ready for the new.
We start to experience a feeling of completion and finality,  and that something has come to an end. All the endings we’re experiencing are leading to a rebirth with the Spring Equinox just one month away.
On Saturday, the 24th, we have a Full Moon in Virgo to cap off the week. This is the Snow Moon, and it’s a micro moon. This is a supermoon's exact opposite. A micro moon occurs when the moon is at its furthest point from Earth.
Even though this is a micro moon it’s still a potent one. Full moons are turning points, culminations, endings, and awakenings. This moon occurs during the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces, which helps us let go of the past and welcome the present. In addition, it is the final full moon of the astrological year, the last full moon before the eclipse season, and the last full moon of winter. There are lots of endings and shifts with this moon.
This full moon is in Virgo. Virgo is a practical, grounded, and efficient sign. We are purging everything we don't need, which includes relationships, friendships, jobs, and household items. While there is a lot of purging energy in the air, there is also a lot of positive energy that supports our focus on wellness and healing our bodies.
We get a month to heal what's needed before we move on to our next chapter. This healing includes necessary endings. This is the time to walk away from what's not working in your life. 
Pisces season is the month to prepare for what's next. We accomplish that by prioritizing ourselves, being kind to ourselves, and focusing on our inner healing to emotionally prepare ourselves for this powerful year.
 

#309 - Weekly Energy Update for February 11, 2024: Valentine's Day Astrology

This week, with a stellium in Aquarius, we are experiencing the peak of Aquarian energy. Stelliums are formed when three or more planets align within the same sign. This week, Pluto, Mercury, Mars, Venus, and the sun will all be in Aquarius.
Aquarius is a sign known for its forward-thinking and innovative energy. It takes us beyond our current reality and into the realm of possibility and potential. 
Pluto recently entered Aquarius and is only beginning its 20-year journey there, which makes this stellium in Aquarius quite significant. Pluto is a sign of power, rebirth, and metamorphosis. This is a time of radical new beginnings. A year from now, we won’t even recognize ourselves.
The planets of sex and love, Mars and Venus, spend the entire month of February traveling side by side. On February 13 and 16, they will enter Aquarius arm in arm, which is ideal for Valentine's Day. Pluto is in the mix, so Valentine's Day week will be intense. However, intensity can be a good thing in love and romance if it's channeled correctly!
If channeled correctly, we’re talking about a hot and steamy Valentine’s Day. If not, jealousy might surface. This Valentine's Day, if you're feeling off, don't blame your spouse or yourself; instead, accept that it's just the intensity and energy of Pluto.
The conjunction of Chiron and the North Node in Aries this week represents one of the most profound and significant events in 2024. The deep soul healing we experience from this conjunction helps us leave the old versions of ourselves behind and move into the next chapter as our more powerful, healed selves. 
Ready or not, we’re moving forward. It's time to make the life changes you’ve always wanted. We have the energy of the universe propelling us toward our highest good. We might as well use that energy to make some huge leaps forward.
