ARIES FULL MOON 2021
The full Moon is at 27 degrees 25 minutes Aries on October 20 2021 at 10:56 AM EST.
Aries ruler, Mars, is nearly hand in hand with the Sun just widely squaring Pluto now direct at 24 degrees Capricorn.
That means Mars in Libra makes a Cardinal square to Pluto in Capricorn around the Full Moon in Aries.
There can be a desire to exert the will in the world and with others. The energy can be channeled into increased action, responsibility, steps toward goals: both individual goals and shared goals.
The full Moon in Aries says Here I Am!!! All caps.
And a big “Now what?!?” can follow that. At the full moon, an expression of the “Here I Am!!!” part of the equation can be best expressed with an outflow of pure energy – wild dancing to primal beats, bursting into a sprint, chugging a red smoothie while smiling at the moon through the resulting scarlet mustache.
I also recommend swearing at the drama on TV for moving to slowly, shredding a bunch of unwanted mail then stomping on the resulting pile. This could escalate to contacting the guilty parties who are sending the unwanted mail and imploring them to desist!
Rake the leaves in an aggressive fashion – jump in the pile and, perhaps, or perhaps not - rake them up again. Scrub out the stain the red smoothie left on your pajama top. Or leave it as a glorious reminder of your inner firepower. Cardinal energy wants to start something so you know…
Write down what you really really want in red ink. Stomp triumphantly around the house feeling into the soles of your feet like you already have what it is you want.
Growl at - and with- the cat or dog. Feel the power of your blood pumping through the physical system. Feel the blood rush to your head. Aries rules the head. See what comes to mind. Remember it. Forget it. Remember it again. What ideas and thoughts keep coming up when we step in, then step away, then step in again is worth giving some attention. We have a fiery full Aries Moon opposing an airy Sun in Libra. Mars in Libra. Fire ignites the mind – air. The Mars square to Pluto in Capricorn fuels the evolution of the soul and invites us to step into personal power, personal authority and personal responsibility.
I AM HERE!!!
Now what am I going to do about it? Most planets have resumed forward motion. Activate the passion. Motion is the potion. Jupiter, newly direct, at 22 Aquarius is making an air trine to Mars at the Full moon. It brings rebellious fun, optimism, and athletic enthusiasm to this party.
Both Jupiter and the energy of the Aries full Moon say have fun with the fire of human existence. Dance in the bright yellow moon of it all. Yell into the is-ness of being.
The doing will come. The thinking will come. The consideration will come. A full Moon – especially the Aries full Moon is about the feeling of it. All.
That ram may be grinning. I think he is showing his teeth.
Lots of love. I’m howling with you all today.

LIBRA NEW MOON 2021
On October 5 2021At 5:05 AM EST We have the new Moon at 13 degrees 24 minutes Libra.
The Sun, Moon and Mars are all at 13 Degrees. The Mars conjunction to the new Moon may make us itchy to start something – a project, a painting, or with the quincunx to retrograde Uranus in Taurus – a fight.
So, we can step back. We can count to ten. We may want to find a way to correct a seeming imbalance. We may want to wait til tomorrow, or the next day, before we offer up opinions or demands for a correction.
Some things naturally come into balance on their own.
Some things need to swing way out of the appearance of alignment to highlight the issue enough that it gets attention and calibration.
Being an air sign — of the mind — Libra is observant and doesn’t always speak or act. It may just hold both sides of the story while the issue swirls and roils around it. The set of balances is impartial. It just stands and weighs. Libra can see all sides of a situation.
Retrograde Mercury is at 20 degrees Libra at the new Moon. Mercury goes direct on 19 October. We are reviewing, relaxing, restoring, rethinking, and maybe even resuming. The energy of action and rest or even retraction are natural for Cardinal signs.
The Cardinal signs- Libra, Capricorn, Aries, and Cancer have initiatory energy- they like to start things.
Then they might backtrack, stop, or even retreat altogether.
The key is to remember it is a dance. Two steps forward, one step back…
Full steam ahead may feel like the quickest way to reach a goal or destination, but it’s often not the most thorough or interesting way.
Retrograde bodies - currently Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter, Chiron, Neptune, and Uranus, remind us of the dance.
We remember our experiences and what we have learned so we can proceed with caution or wisdom or a reminder of methods we have picked up along the way.
With a Libra new Moon, the idea of being a part of a group- of friends, lovers, colleagues – arises once again.
Libra is learning how it wants to be in the world. With all of these retrograde planets, Libra is asking how we want to interact and who we want to be as we do that.
Many of us have been interacting with the world in very different ways for the last 18 months or so.
This new Moon is asking how can we relate to ourselves, first, and to others, second, in a creative way that suits who we are now.
Pluto, now at 24 degrees Capricorn, will resume forward motion on October 7th. The idea of how we have evolved as individual humans, spiritual beings, artists, thinkers, problem solvers, survivors, is to be contemplated, and the ideas assimilated, at this new Moon.
Our routines, work, friendships, families, communities have all been rearranged in some form or fashion.
How can we consider our personal equilibrium so that we can move forward, backward and side to side – even up and down— in a way that works for who we have become?
Some relationships have gone into the background, perhaps.
The relationship with ourselves has become paramount. New or different relationships may have come to the fore.
Perhaps there are some gaping holes left that loved ones have vacated— they are sorely missed.
Libra is about relating. It is about seeing those with whom we relate and determining who and how we are in relationship to others.
It doesn’t mean we ratchet up our codependency. It means we see how we want to navigate the earth plane, in part by watching and learning from others. We engage by making a decision from that observation and interaction, of who and how we want to be. We adapt and adopt and make something new when we integrate some of what we’ve observed or experienced.
The beauty of Venus-ruled Libra is that we make our own version of humanity, of a spiritual being having a human experience. We are influenced by our surroundings: human, nature, animals, architecture, media. We observe, review, digest, act, reflect and refine based on our insides and our outside world.
Who, then, do we want to create? How, then, do we want to proceed -one or two steps at a time – forward or back?
Who will hold our hand or walk side by side? Do we need to go alone? Do we want to phone a friend for encouragement?
All of this is the Libra consideration and movement. Breathe in the air, the expectation, the intention a d the expression that is our life.
Much love,
Lydia

PISCES FULL MOON 2021
28 degrees Pisces 13 minutes at 7:54 PM EST 20 September.
We’ve nearly made it to the 2021 Equinox which takes place on Wednesday, the 22nd when the Sun enters Libra.
With the Autumn Equinox in the North and Spring in the Southern Hemisphere, we now have a moment of equal day and night. We start a new half of our year.
Mercury has a retrograde motion in Libra from September 26 to October 18. This invites us to use the mind to connect to the beauty that resides in the heart.💜 It is a time to let the mind sync with the heart of the self, the heart of nature, the heart of the universe and the hearts of other beings, seen and unseen.
The Pisces full Moon is an end point as it is the final – 12th sign of the zodiac and at the next full Moon we start at the beginning again with Aries.
So, this is a completion time.
We are also about to enter the last quarter of the calendar year — a time to start reviewing and wrapping things up.
The Pisces full Moon asks us to put our head on the pillow and dream into the time so far – in this year, in this segment of our lives, and in the season to come.
Pisces holds the energy of all 12 signs and can access to he gifts and abilities of those 12 signs.
Pisces is not to be underestimated. It may appear jovial and at ease at parties. It may seem to get things down while appearing to exert little effort.
It may have the remarkable ability to bring a smile to pretty much anyone’s face, regardless of age, disposition, social status or relationship to that Pisces.
When they are in tune, they can move through life like a silvery fish slipping through water glimmering in the sun.
And they can make it all feel like a poem or a love song or a ridiculous joke.
When we have the Pisces full Moon we can FEEL into some of these magical Pisces qualities.
We can dream into our hopes wishes and desires and ask the waters within to float us toward those aspirations.
The Virgo Sun can bring practical steps toward the dreams coming to fruition, while the Pisces full Moon can loosen the strings to feel the way forward.
With this full Moon comes the reminder that we can remain tuned in beyond our moments of daily reflection and meditation. We can be open, at all times, to insight, inspiration, ideas and the nudges of guidance.
Head on the pillow, feet on the ground, the heart is the meeting place to lead on.
The kindness and compassion of Pisces can be felt for the self and can be a guide.
The embodiment of that self love and respect can then radiate out to others.
If we are brought up being told to love others, we must experience that love within in order to be able to share it, to radiate it.
This is an old message to be sure, and it bears repeating… and it bears practicing.
Is there something we could bestow upon ourselves at this full Moon that we have been withholding?
Perhaps it is forgiveness, or self respect or self soothing or adventure or some pampering?
Where we have been a hard task master of the self, or over critical, we could turn it around and make a list of things that are acceptable, lovable, fun and lovely about ourselves.
And what would this acceptable, lovable, fun and lovely person like to do, think, be, and have in this precious life?
We are at the heart of the dream.
Lots of love,
Lydia

VIRGO NEW MOON 2021
The New Moon at 14 degrees 37 minutes Virgo occurs on 6 September 2021 at 8:51 PM EST.
The Sun and Moon make an earth trine to retrograde Uranus in Taurus. Virgo is ruled by Mercury and Uranus is the higher octave of Mercury. We have greater access to higher wisdom that can be accessed by going within.
The New Moon invites us to take time to listen to the Higher Self to see how it can give insight, information and wisdom to the regular old walking/talking/interacting/
chatting self. We can then take the wisdom on board and integrate it into our daily life, our daily mindset.
Perhaps new ways of engaging the Self are called for: how is your self talk game? Is it kind, encouraging and soothing? Does it bring in fun, new ideas and illuminating projects?
Perhaps trying new ways of interacting with others is called for.
Virgo likes to organize, sift, and sort. It likes to joke around and have fun with words and games. It likes to find ever better and wiser and more efficient ways to get things done so there is more time and space for new ideas, inner and outer journeys and interesting conversations.
There is a reason they say we have to do a clear out if we want to welcome the new into our lives. Virgo is a dab hand at rearranging and clearing so that there is room for the New that we are attracting into our experience.
On 10 September, Venus enters Scorpio.
On 14 September Mars enters Libra. With these two personal planets in signs of relating and the sharing of resources, it is a great time to relate with others in new ways: finding ways to partner up, share ideas, projects, fun and adventures.
It can be a bit of a Stone Soup time- starting with an empty pot and seeing what kind of soup can be made when each of us contributes the to the party.
Virgo is in charge of healing. We turn attention, as we approach the Equinox later this month, to adjusting to the changing of season. Just as we may prepare our wardrobe for the change in temperature, we can also can prepare the body and mind for the time to come. Our inner nature can inform us what foods will support our system in the new season. Our inner nature can inform us of when to join with others and when to conserve energy.
Virgo is at the half way point of the astrological year. It is the sixth of the 12 signs. The first five are focused on building the self as an individual.
Virgo takes time to review that self we have been building before we embark on the next six signs which have a more outward social/communal/group minded focus.
The energy to for the season ahead comes from the new Moon’s time of quiet reflection, nourishing food and rest.
Then, refreshed and renewed, we proceed with good.orderly.direction.
Love, Lydia

Aquarius Full Moon 2021 – AGAIN!
We have a second Aquarius Full Moon in a row. This is a rare occasion. The first one was at 1 degree on July 23rd.
This one is at 29 degrees Aquarius Sun in Leo at the same degree on August 22 at 8:01 AM EST.
The Sun will enter Virgo a few hours later, at 5:34 PM EST and by then the Moon will be in Pisces. Still, this full Moon is firmly in Aquarius, bringing its revolutionary, wild-eyed ideas and rebellion to the fore.
This time,Uranus, ruler of Aquarius, is in a retrograde motion in the middle degrees of Taurus. It will continue retrograde until January 18, 2022.
It is important to find ways to keep the energy flow moving in our bodies through grounding, self soothing, taking electrolytes and having a nice dance or walk or yoga session. Time spent tuning in to trees, flowers, the earth, and insects you might see crawling or hovering around will also be useful.
Retrograde Jupiter in Aquarius pretty much conjunct the full Moon may blow ideas, conversations and hot-headedness out of proportion so a screen-free day or two could be beneficial and save some backtracking later.
Sticking the hands into some dough, the sea, the sky, or the earth is going to be more fun than the keyboard at the moment.
Mars and Mercury are already in level-headed Virgo and at the full Moon they are widely opposing Neptune in Pisces. Both Virgo and Pisces are linked to service, Leo is generous, and Aquarius can be community-minded.
We can take some creative dream time to temper the more frenetic influences of another Aquarius Full Moon.
They can also help us to consider which flashes of insight, idea, creative fire we actually want to bring into form, into action. If these concepts and creations can benefit the community on a micro or macro level, even better! Aquarius rules friends and community and it’s energies are channeled well when the greater good is considered. Venus is already in Libra bringing a cool aesthetic eye to the party.
The last blast of Leo’s creative fire can be taken advantage of before the sun heads into Virgo’s calm, considered guise a few hours after the full Moon.
We are moving from Fire to Earth. We move from fixed energy to Virgo’s Mercurial-ruled mutability. How can we clear the decks to make room for more love, more friendship, more collaborative creativity in our lives?
Until next time, a warm heart and a clear eye and a dreamy soul can make for an interesting and fulfilling day.
Love, Lydia

LEO NEW MOON 2021
The New Moon at 16 degrees 24 minutes Leo shines on us August 8 2021 at 9:50 AM EST. Leo is a fixed fire sign. Creative Self Expression is Leo’s purview.
Mars and Venus are now in Virgo. They will help to clarify the creative energies of the Leo new Moon.
Leo is creative self-expression. With the physicality of Mars and the beauty/creativity/relationship energy of Venus, the Sun’s expression can be refining, honing and healing.
Venus is opposing Neptune on August 9th inviting us to reach into the dream space while maintaining a firm footing in ordinary reality. This allows the creative and expansive nature of the dream time to be available to us in the day to day: for creating, for imagining, for planning, for enjoying life in new/enhanced and/or different ways.
This New Moon opposes the outer planets which affect global issues. It is best to tend our own patch at this time, remembering that what we do on the personal level radiates outward to affect, and we hope, benefit the whole anyway.
The personal fire of Leo can invite us to actually put paint to paper, spoon to batter- to make, to create.🌻 Mercury in Leo highlights the willingness to make it so.
Mercury quincunx to Neptune can make a swirl of the message so we might as well make a beautiful abstract creation.
On August 11, Mercury moves into Virgo to help us to refine our ideas and creations.
We can look at what we have said and done with a new eye and perspective.
On 17 August Venus enters Libra breathing a different kind of aesthetic into the way we shape our lives.
The Leo New Moon invites us to remember with each sunrise, with each moment, we can start our day, our mindset, over again. We can imagine our to do list, our intentions, our methods in new and different ways. We can dive into co-creation – with our higher selves, with our angels, with our environment, with our challenges, with our desires.
Leo is creative self expression. It is ruled by the Sun. It illuminates, it enlightens and it has the attention and focus of a fixed sign to bring ideas out of the heart (ruled by Leo) and into reality.
Leo is fun and creative and generous. Leo lies in the ray of sunlight cast on the living room carpet. It knows when to hunt, to love, to create and to doze.
Happy Leo New Moon to you all. May the Sun rise again and again to illuminate and comfort the heart, the mind, and the spirit. May the Sun warm and heal. May the Sun be a daily reminder that we can rise again and again to a live and create in new day.
Love, Lydia 🌻🦁🌻

AQUARIUS FULL MOON 2021
The full Moon is at one degree 25 minutes Aquarius at 10:36 PM EST on 23 July A powerful combo is the Full Moon in Aquarius and Sun in the sign it rules: Leo.
Lightning bolts jolt us out of the beach chair enlivening the creative lines in our bodies and spirits.
Fiery Leo is fed by the winds of Aquarius. If we are expecting the unexpected we can be open to new pathways to creative self expression, generosity and love.
When we give from our essence, the energy emanating from that creativity can warm and encourage and feed those who are receptive to its touch. And of course, it feeds the creator, too.
Jupiter will retrograde into Aquarius on 29 July. The Greater Benefic – that’s Jupiter - invites us to expand into our creative gift that we can share with the community of life. What can we give that helps, inspires, solves, contributes to this with whom we share this adventure.
Leo is creative self expression. Aquarius draws that creative self expression out of the solitary experience into the shared experience. We can post an encouraging talk on all of the platforms. We can share a joke that takes someone’s day in a new and uplifted direction. We can add a piece to the puzzle of a solution in a community meeting on the environment or traffic issues or air quality conversations. We don’t have to be physically out and about in the world to participate in the community.
Aquarius likes to be a lone Wolf and it also likes to engage with friends, colleagues and comrades. Finding a way to stick our hand out, add our voice, share our wisdom, lend our creativity in constructive ways is called for now.
It feels good to do something. It feels good to bring something to the table. We don’t all have to bring a 3-tiered confection of multicolored buttercream. Just think of that one person who remembered to bring the lowly but crucial vial of salt to the picnic.
We all have something to bring to the table or we wouldn’t be here.
Leo Sun and Aquarius full Moon can help us to align with what to bring, when to bring it and where to offer it.
Venus is in Virgo adding practicality and a good sense of timing to how we can participate in a useful way to the whole.
Virgo is also the healer of the zodiac. Our contributions to and participation toward the common good can help to heal individual and collective trauma. It can feel good to take an action – large, small or anywhere in between. Planting a living thing helps the air quality for all, gives a landing place for pollinators and helps to cool off the city, for example. Remembering all that we are already doing for our own good and the good of the group is a step in the right direction, too.
Are you raising a child in a thoughtful way? Are you encouraging a downhearted friend? Are you sharing your artwork online? Are you telling your story? Are you tuning in to universal consciousness, nature spirits, devas, and the angelic realms in meditation and in daily life? Are you asking for help? Are you teaching someone how you got out of a particular hole? Are you saying hello to someone at the shop or on the street? Little, medium, big— who knows which is which? We can do what we can do. That old chestnut “take the action and let go of the results” is a wise adage in these times. Not knowing who we are inspiring, or whose life we’ve made a bit (or a lot) better is part of the creative fun!
Mercury enters Leo on 29 July to remind us to add our voice to the chorus. We are not on the life trip alone and there are so many ways we can dip our toes in the water of the shared experience- even if we aren’t ready or able to physically able to take a dip with everyone else at the local pond or pool.
Leo brings warmth, creativity and generosity. Aquarius brings the camaraderie, the flashes of brilliance that come from the Higher Mind and the energy of the group. As fixed signs they have a lot of oomph once they decide to take an action. Together they can make real change, evolution and solutions.
Okay! The sun is out. The lightning will strike. See what they illuminate and join your light to theirs. If you want. 😊🌻😊🦁😊⚡️⚡️💜
Lots of love at this powerful full Moon.

CANCER NEW MOON 2021
The New Moon is at 18 degrees Cancer on 9 July 2021 at 9:16 PM EST.
The Cancer new Moon reminds us that we are made up of mostly water and that the time and tide push and pull at us a bit less when we go with their flow.
Tide is Cancer and Time is Cancer’s polarity to Capricorn- ruled by Saturn, the lord over time.
We are at the new Moon, under the dark cloak of the Moon – who rules the sign of Cancer. It is the new Mooniest new Moon of the year. A crab is nibbling at our toes as we sink them deeper into the sand trying to gain purchase as the emotional body slides this way and that in the shallows.
Which way is up? What can we eat to make us feel better? How can we engage with, escape from feelings? How can we be mirrored by or affected the actions of others in regard to our emotions?
Cancer rules the stomach. How can we soothe and satiate the self on the physical and all other levels without entirely being consumed by our appetites or by extended time spent under the duvet?
Ah, Cancer.
Mars and Virgo in sunny Leo can divert focus over to the drive to create. What do we want to whip up at the moment? New recipes, new love, family fun, a heightened sense of generosity or drama?
The Leo Mars/Venus are squaring Uranus in Taurus who wants to dredge up some revolution, some unexpected ideas, some freedom, some rebellion, some new friends- or old comrades we haven’t seen in ages. Mercury, the lower octave of Uranus, moves into Cancer on July 12th asking us to have a comforting conversation with ourselves about how we are feeling.
Venus/Mars are in opposition to Saturn retrograde in Aquarius – more Uranian energy channeled through the structure and timing of our lives. At the very least, change your date night! Change the channel, speak in a different language, and see what ideas come from looking at things and hearing things from a different angle, a different perspective. Then run all of that through the tummy of the Cancer Sun/Moon conjunction – the New Moon - and see how if all we have been taking in is assimilating into our system.
Resting under the duvet with the window cracked open is also a great approach. The Cardinal energy of Cancer likes to retreat and begin again – the crab scuttles in a sideways fashion- not forward in a straight line.
The New Moon is each Month’s new beginning and each new day starts best when we are well rested, followed by well fed, clothed, and with loving words from our Self to our self.
We gain energy, intuition, insight and the desire to start again within a recalibrated schedule or structure of our day. Cancer’s natural polarity is to Capricorn— ruler of time and structure.
Cancer rules the tide. So, time and tide. We are mostly water and we operate in the construct of time.
Allowing our physical structure to expand into the ocean of all that is via intention, meditation, sleep can bring us to a new shore- a somewhat familiar, somewhat different and alien landscape – on which to start again.
Happy Floating.
Lots of love,
Lydia

Capricorn Full Moon 2021The Sun is now in Cancer. We have just passed the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, and the Winter Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere. The wheel of the Year keeps turning: come heat or high water.: The full moon takes place on Thursday, June 24th, 2021 at 2.05 pm EST at 3degrees 6 minutes Capricorn. The Cancer/Capricorn axis is such a powerful one: home and hearth finding ways to relate with career, authority, and standing in the community. The intuitive archetype works it out with the active authoritarian. Cancer doesn’t have to explain how it knows. It just knows. Capricorn does t have to apologize or explain itself. It just exudes authority. We feel our place on the polarity of male and female and how that spectrum might be feeling for us at the moment. We have Venus in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces, sextile Pluto in Capricorn. These aspects invite us to feel into that ever-shifting relationship between our authority and our emotion, our mental acuity and our guidance of the gut. Trying on new ways of integrating these two kinds of energy can be beneficial at this time. How can we feel at home using our power and authority in a way that feels natural and in alignment with our emotional body? How can we remember to Invite our higher self into the conversation and the evolution of the unity of our being. How can we be master of our emotional body and of our active selves walking around on the earth plane: Working, conducting friendships, family relationships, recreation, and creative endeavors. With the Sun in Cancer trine Jupiter in Pisces, sextile Moon in Capricorn We may notice a very active dreamtime. It is beneficial to make an intention to remember dreams and make note of them upon awakening. Dreams at this time can give very pertinent information and solutions to issues that may have been on our minds during the recent mercury retrograde. Jupiter is now retrograde until 18 October. deep dreaming and self honesty are keynotes of this retrograde cycle. Jupiter trines the Sun at the Full Moon to enhance and highlight our emotional body and how we are relating with and attending to our emotions. Pluto in Capricorn is in opposition to Venus in Cancer. The way we relate to our personal power and evolutionary process – and our feelings, reactions, and responses to that process us highlighted. Take a breath or a beat before speaking, texting, picking up the phone. Taking time to attend to the inner swirl prior to engaging with others is recommended at this full moon. Uranus in Taurus is also in another to Saturn in Aquarius kicking up the feelings of freedom and liberation in relation to security, responsibility, and personal authority. We are wanting to shake free from perceptions that others may have authority over us. We may also encounter how others react to perceived power we may appear to have over them. Personal responsibility and accountability our keynotes here. Tuning in to where head and gut reactions can meet: in the heart- we can gain balance, equilibrium and a greater sense of fitting in our own skin and fitting in to the rhythm and flow of our daily life and responsibilities. Adjustments and calibrations can be intended and made. We do always have a choice. We do always have access to inner/higher wisdom if we can ask and listen. Attune you the inner tides. Allow them to wash in and out. Our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies can coalesce in new, more efficient, and more interesting ways if we allow it. I wish all the very, very best.
Much love, Lydia

GEMINI NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE
10 June 2021 6:53 AM EST at 19 degrees Gemini.
We have a new Gemini Moon eclipse conjunct retrograde Mercury, ruler of Gemini.
We need to incorporate the entire scope of things.
We need to use the leftovers from the back of the fridge- at least LOOK at the leftovers and see if they can be incorporated into something else. If they can’t be added to the soup, then into the recycling they go.
What is not helpful right now is ignoring resources that are at the back of the shelf or in the far reaches of the consciousness. Let’s look at it all!
Mercury is Square to Neptune at this time so clarity will come through dreams and hidden desires that are digging their way to the surface.
Saturn Square Uranus in the 14th, an ongoing theme, will want us to find new and different and inventive ways to structure our lives – to find comfort out of chaos – or despite the chaos.
What gives you comfort? Knowing things! Gathering things? Routine? New ideas? Hope?
We don’t need to do the clear out / incorporation process all at once. We can open the packages and jars one at a time and expose them to the air. The Mercury retrograde cycle goes through 22 June. It comes out of it’s shadow on about 25 July. That is when it clears the degree that is began the retrograde motion in on 29 May.
The nervous system, ruled by Mercury, may be calling for some soothing and attention during this time.
Many have experienced a prolonged period of “high alert” due to the events of the past 15 months. Some PTSD symptoms may be popping up here and there calling attention to self care.
We may need more time to talk to a kind friend in the earthly realms and to our unseen beings as well.
We may need to stand barefoot in the garden and let the ground meet us, hold us and help to gain more stability.
We may need to make boundaries on how much we are willing to do in the wider world and when.
We may outline habits that have been released that we absolutely do not want to resume.
This is all Mercury retrograde stuff. With Saturn and Pluto retrograde, too, we are looking at how we can empower ourselves to structure our daily lives in a way that flows for us, that works for us, that is true for us.
It may mean standing up for ourselves in a way we have done before.
This eclipse is called a Ring Of Fire. I imagine standing in that ring of fire: protected, allowing it to vanquish what I no longer need and reminding me that my one life is worth standing up for, worth protecting, worth growing.
We have access to so much information. The nervous system, the heart and the higher self know what is true.
For the next six months, how we join with our mission, our daily routine, our evolutionary journey, our mindset, our daily practice, our work, our dreams, our goals, and our relationships is up for additional refining, distilling and enjoying. This is the life we have and the time is now to see it, experience it, honor it, reflect on it, embrace it, talk with it, and live it. One day, one minute at a time.
In love and strength,
Lydia
