Woohoo! We’re arriving at the start of the astrological New Year! I don’t know about you, but this year more than ever I’m feeling stronger synchronicity with the astrological new year than the calendar new year.
The Vernal Equinox is upon us! Which usually brings a shuffling of energies, from clutter clearing to cultivating new projects that have been stewing in our creative sphere. Are you raring to go? Are you getting yourself ready? Well, remain patient. If you were recently feeling all that Pisces gooeyness we’ve been having, you’ll sense this shift big time. After feeling like you were floating in a sea of timeless beingness, things will soon congeal with physical reality.
Now that the Sun is entering Aires, you may feel impulses to abruptly switch gears to taking action. Just be aware that there’s still a bunch of Pisces energy lingering, including the Sun’s conjunction with Neptune. Not to mention there are retrogrades happening in Aries. So, things may not be off-to-the-races yet.
That’s okay, as you don’t want to rush through these aspects and transition. See if you can lean into each of them. This may delay actions from being full speed ahead, leaving your plan of action to happen more sporadically than preferred. A pace of fits and starts, until you shift into steady flow. Allow yourself room to breathe into the intermittent pacing that lies ahead for you. Notice the push and pull.
The Nurtured Hero
Remember Mars, ruler of Aries, is still in the sign of Cancer. I’ve spoken about this variation of the watered-down warrior before, and it’s prevalent at this time. As you shift your energy into Aires, it may feel more subdued than other times you’ve shifted into taking action. With Mars in Cancer there’s an additional emphasis around emotional security.
This may be a different flavor from what is typically associated with Aries. Does the warrior need an inner sense of emotional security? Absolutely. Can you make room for this layer of nurturing? Yes. This is an invitation for you to explore the practical ways in which you maintain your emotional security. How do you maintain feeling safe and secure? What gives you the consistent inner fortitude to do all you do out in the world?
With this in mind, look at the year ahead of you. How would you like it to unfold? Could this be a turbulent year of change? If so, harness this energy to start the next chapter of your hero’s journey. Combining this powerful nurturing Cancerian energy with conjunct Sun and Neptune Piscean dreamscape. Be daring to allow your previous disillusionment to fade away. Pave ways to manifest your ideals into your 3D reality. No longer having compromised agreement with what you know is misaligned. Let the old world fall away.
Shield Your Attention
The world around you is continually bombarding you with information. It’s your personal responsibility to not let this lower your vibration. Take this Equinox activation as a reminder to live from the inside out. Are you driven by your reactivity to the external world? Catch yourself when you’re living from the outside in. Have a healthy self-inquiry. Why are you letting these external influences override your inner drive?
Be mindful of anything from the external world that’s grabbing your attention and lowering your vibration. How much is it affecting you? Is it causing you to resonate lower than you desire? Sure, you may have curiosity about what’s happening in the world, but at what expense to your own well-being? So much of the external chatter doesn’t even come to fruition. Relative to your creations, it’s all a distraction. It’s up to you to decide that these external occurrences aren't worth distracting you from your life and purpose.
This Equinox is occurring during a Mercury retrograde (also in Aries). Use your attention mastery and communication skills for yourself. Right now it’s less about seeking the answer to your questions, and more about seeking better questions to explore. Use this Equinox to formulate better questions! Shield yourself from placing your attention within a severely tainted information ecology. Yes, you can filter some of it but be weary of how much of your activity is combined with these external information sources. Is that where you wish to give your life force?
Breathe Life into Your Dreams
Neptune is straddling this Pisces/Neptune cusp in a magical way. Neptune’s not in Aries yet for this Equinox but will be soon enough. Be patent as Neptune is still at the anaretic degree (29th degree) in Pisces. This won’t happen again in your lifetime, so don’t wish it away. Continue to tap into the dreamscape. At the end of March, Neptune will shift into Aries for 14 years
With all of this occurring at the threshold between Pisces and Aries, you can view this as bringing things from the dreamscape into your reality. The hero in your dreams connects to the hero inside yourself, who will then take action in your life. Making the intangible much more practical. Setting up a magical time of imagination and action coming together. What does your inner warrior look like? What does accountability look like for you?
The dreamscape isn’t all roses and rainbows. Lingering in this space can include wrestling with discontent. Allow yourself to feel whatever this space may bring. Every bit of it will inform how your visions are shaped. Allow yourself to be a whole-hearted, fully integrated visionary! How does that sound? Sounds like a good recipe for living each day with deeper intention and greater integrity.
