Like a young bird who’s ready to fly,
I need to jump out of my nest,
Of old habits, needs, and fears,
In order to see what’s next.
”Only the shadow knows for sure!” is the old saying. I like that quote I read today that your shadow is as clear as the nose on your face but you need a mirror to see it! Ain’t that the truth? Well, in a lunar eclipse the Moon goes into the shadow of the earth, so symbolically, we can use her at this time to look into the shadow of our past.
The Sun is strong now as he approaches the north node of the Moon (and we are in a solar maximum year of the 11 year solar cycle) culminating in July. Again, symbolically, this gives our conscious will to create an advantageous place from which to ”see” our ”negative” habits, needs, fears, and patterns.
These will most likely be coming up in our relationships, particularly the most intimate. If you are in a long term relationship, it’s a time when perhaps long hidden or buried issues will rise up to the surface to be dealt with and cleared. If you’re in a short term relationship it may break down or be strengthened if both parties want to do some shadow work. If you’re single, you might meet someone (perhaps from a previous life) that reaches down past the surface and stirs latent feelings.
One way or the other, we’re entering a two week period of identification and reflection upon, though perhaps comfy and cozy like an old nest, habits, needs, and fears that it’s time to let go of so the solar eclipse can heal old wounds and prepare you for the next chapter of your soul’s evolution. Good luck!
Pisces energy is strong until we approach the Equinox on March 19, meaning it is an important time to reassess and reflect on what you’ve learned over the past 12 months. The Sun conjunct Neptune on March 17 occurs a 27 deg Pisces squaring the Galactic Center, which is dissolving ego, judgments, opinions, and limiting belief systems that you may feel rising up, especially anything that has been inherited through collective consciousness. Mercury in Aries helps you to see through the illusions and distractions to focus on priorities and communications that matter. Then the Sun crosses over the Aries Point on March 19 and a fresh cycle of potentials open up as we move closer to the first eclipse of 2024. More to share in this week’s podcast episode.
