We aren’t going to bother with the Happy M, M, M, M, M day today, lol!
Why? ( to be honest I want to be outside watching the pieces of the eclipse I can see from the west coast!) Hence why you are receiving this earlier in the day!
So grab a cuppa as this is a long, information packed post!
Today is the Aries solar eclipse, combined with the Wood Dragon, Mercury retrograde and a number 8 year,
Can you say KAPOW!!!!
Let me ask (as I didn’t do a reading last week as I played), how are you feeling with this eclipse portal and Mercury retrograde?
Some of you have shared that the energy has amplified and been challenging, others have shared that they have felt motivated, and for some – no impact.
So let’s dive into this Eclipse portal energy, as most of my astrologer friends are saying that it is the most powerful they have seen in over 20 years.
And then we will give the back piece of this year energy, and the Dragon energy (just for shits and giggles, or more a case of as humans we forget.)
Okay, so this eclipse portal is all about purifying, detoxing, and adding supreme extra juice to the new seeds we are planting.
But be clear, these are seeds that are aligned with your truest self.
What do you want to do in a meaningful way in this life?
The first eclipse on March 25th, in Libra, was hitting the South Node, which is all about dropping the karmic baggage, think of it like a shedding phase.
This is the place of glorious Shadow territory ( a territory that a lot of us humans try to avoid like the plague), but it is the place of hidden potentials.
When you are willing to do Shadow work and I mean deep work, you discover all the hidden potentials, the gifts and the wisdom that have been lurking there.
You discover your “Golden Shadow”, and the invitation with this eclipse energy is to really own it and nurture it.
Think of it like digging the dirt so that your seed can FLOURISH!
Today we have the second eclipse in Aries, and just to be clear – we started working with the Libra/Aries axis energy last July and it will go on until January 2025, so 18 months in total!!!!
Aries brings glorious Sacred Warrior energy to the table, inviting you to get super clear, deal with your Karmic bullshit and stand up against the grain!
What do you stand for?
Because if you aren’t clear, the world around you will try to tell you and I’m pretty dang sure it won’t be in alignment with your truest self.
Not only do we have this eclipse in Aries, but Chiron conjunct this eclipse to the minute!
We will never see that again in our lifetimes (so yes, another big one).
Who is Chiron?
Chiron is the Wounded Healer and this is a time for some deep, deep healing and releasing of ancestral stories that aren’t yours (even though you may think they are).
It’s about allowing the wounds to surface and alchemise them.
Also, don’t forget that with Mercury retrograde it’s all about the RE words.
Revist, rethink, recreate, realign, readjust and more importantly with it happening in the middle of these eclipses – it will extend the eclipse energy.
Now do you see what is happening energetically? (So no, you haven’t been going crazy!)
So let’s talk about the container that this is all happening in, think of it like a glorious sacred bowl made of the Wood Dragon energy and the 8 energy.
Remember what I said near the beginning of the year…..
2024 is an 8 year, 8 is the number that takes everything and amplifies it!
It’s the year to really step into your power, your strength and there will be lots of lessons about having the courage to be yourself and to think outside the box.
If you have been a people pleaser, wowzer, there are going to be lots of lessons around this to help you finally release this pattern.
So this is where the invitation for you is to really tune in, own your worth, get comfortable with uncomfortable emotions, and be a very active participant in creating your life (not a stand on the side victim).
Throw in the energy of this being the Year of the Wood Dragon, and if you remember:-
Dragon is the only animal in the Chinese zodiac that is not of the mundane earthly world. It has the highest vision and broadest reach – they soar the highest and furthest. It’s a year to look beyond the confines and to dream big, to envision the future we want. Getting clarity on our purpose or mission is essential.
Authenticity is key and is of the highest vibration. We are asked to believe in ourselves, to remember who we are, to find our own authentic story and not anyone else’s. The exalted Dragon insists on raising the standards, set your goals high for it’s time to really step up.
“Wood energy allows us to grow, expand, and keep our vision on track for the long term. The Season of Spring is connected to the element of Wood, so this year of the Dragon will help us to create new beginnings, plant new seeds, and allow our garden to flourish.
The energy is ripe for new beginnings and undergoing new ventures, but we have to create stability and work from the heart.
The words that come up strongly are Heart based, Strength, Authenticity and Personal Power.
Great Jenn, so remind me, why are we doing a recap?
Because as humans we tend to forget very quickly and we don’t work with the energies and the power we have inside ourselves to create a glorious tapestry of change, growth, ease and something that allows us to Flourish!
Phew! If you have read this far, you will have a comprehensive overview of what is happening on many levels.
So what are some things that you can do to help yourself move with this energy?
Look Mortality in the face. (Yes, seriously)
You have 1 week, 1 month, 1 year – what is it you want to create, what do you want to do?
Drop the mundane, the excuses, the bullshit and the habits.
Write a list.
Write a list of what doesn’t light you up.
Write a list of what lights you up.
What is calling to your depths and your soul that you keep putting off? Really sit with this and then…….let yourself be open to what comes up.
Sacred Warrior Practices
There are many practices I teach in the circles that I lead to help you tap into your own Divine Sacred Warrior.
The easiest one – do Warrior Pose (yes the Yoga pose). But do it with intention and really allow your body to stretch and your soul to sing into the spaces.
Okay, enough chuntering. I have a glorious big announcement for you, but I will send it out on Wednesday as this has been a lot for you to take in.
So my darling one envision yourself as your own Sacred Warrior, holding that pose of strength, clarity and all for the highest good. Allow that energy to swirl in on your breath and fill your cells, and as you breathe out, allow the “shoulds” to drop to the floor like dust.
Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that call to you.
Did you remember to pick?
Let’s go have a wee gander, shall we?
RENEWING YOUR LIFE
“Radiant Vitality is filling my life!”
A powerful inner and outer renewal is occurring in your life. Purification is happening on many levels.
Take your life to the next level by clutter-clearing.
Release situations and people that don’t empower you, space-clear your environment, and eat lightly. In order for renewal to occur, the old needs to make way for the new.
Sometimes it’s difficult for exciting experiences to come into your life if your auric field or your personal space is cluttered.
There’s simply no room for something new.
When you purify your life, you create the space for new opportunities to come flooding in.
If you have a sense that your auric field, your living space, or your body have become cluttered or dingy, this is the time to do some inner and outer clearing.
Ask yourself:
Is there anything I need to purify or clear out of my life?
Is there anything that needs to be renewed or re-examined in my life?
How can purification help me become a clearer channel for myself and others?
LETTING GO
“I surrender joyously to the ebbing and flowing of life.”
Surrender. Relinquish control and allow Spirit to take over. You don’t need to do everything by yourself.
All is well. It’s time to just let it all go and enjoy the ride!
Doing so gives others permission to let go in their own lives.
There are times to hold on for dear life, and times to simply throw up your hands and let go. It’s time to release any limiting patterns, emotional attachments, or inner and outer clutter.
Surrendering doesn’t mean that you’re yielding to a force outside of yourself.
It means that you’re allowing your soul to take over.
Release the stress of needing to control things, wanting to determine th outcome of a situation, or expecting others to act in a particular way.
There is a simple grace and beauty that unfolds when you truly let go.
Loving spiritual help is all around you……. Simply open your heart and let it in.
Ask yourself:
Is there anything I need to release?
Is there a person or situation I need to let go of?
Is there anyone who needs to let go of me?
PLANTING SEEDS
“Seeds of grace are being planted in the fertile soil of my soul.”
The fertile soil of your soul is ready to receive the seeds that will come to harvest in the years ahead.
Get clear on what you desire for yourself and your future.
Timing is vital, and now is your moment to plant spiritual seeds.
Every realised dream once started as an idea that took root.
For your projects, ideas, and dreams to come to fruition, you need to first become clear on what your heart truly desires.
Then ask yourself, Is this really what I want?
Believe that miracles can happen. Use this time to plant seeds for your future.
Nurture these precious seeds to that they will grow as strong as the mighty oak.
Take action in the desired direction of your dreams, but be willing to pull the weeds along the way.
It won’t be long before you are reaping the bounty of your labour.
Ask yourself:
What has blocked my seeds from taking root in the past, and how can I overcome this?
How can I best prepare for my desired future?
What is being sown for my future that I may not be consciously aware of?
All I can say is wowzer, wowzer, wowzer! Sending you glorious eclipse blessings, and if you are part of our amazing email community you will be the first to hear the announcement on Wednesday. Huge hugs and love.
