February 26- March 3
For many of us, these past couple of weeks have been filled with uncertainty. Privately, I've felt as if alone at sea in a tiny canoe, with one paddle and a vast ocean. Reaching the crest of what will soon be my new personal year (numerologically marked by your birthday), I've been nutty. Really nutty. Like, overwhelmed by doubt with dives into anxiety. February's 7 energy has continually nudged us into private moments of reflection- the process of collecting your experiences and hearing the lessons in them. But it can be terrifying, as you float between past, present and future. I quit my full-time job nearly a year ago and jumped into the world of freelancing, not simply exchanging steadinnes for, well, rockiness, but also establishing myself in two new fields. Balance and confidence ebb and flow more intensely. And lately, I've been ridiculously hard on myself.
But then I kept hearing it in the air, from many of you- hasn't this week been intense? why do i feel so anxious? i don't have my normal pool of energy, i usually have. i don't know what i'm doing or where i'm going. A bit of light started to shine. I wasn't going crazy thinking that I was alone in this journey. We were all experiencing February's wave of intensity, as this month has been about an excavation of our spirit and goals. And then one of my favorite bloggers and creative inspirations, Bri Emery of Design Love Fest, wrote what's been heavy on her heart for the past couple of weeks, adding another voice to the chorus of our shared experience. I was reminded of my intention in creating this site- to offer a space where you find comfort in knowing that others are right there with you, connected in energy to your journey. After all, we share the same moon & stars.
A healing is not always a gentle, easy process, and that's been our focus throughout February. It's uncomfortable. Issues float to the surface. You're forced to see them, to confront them. Most of the time it feels like things are being scraped or torn and in some ways they are. No wonder it's been a rough month, right? As we let go of parts of our self that we've always known (behaviors, reactions, ideas, relationships), we eliminate crutches we've come to count on. But we're making room to evolve, to let in fresh air, to breathe life into new ideas and new ways of being. Good ol' fashion growing pains.
With March's entrance comes a bit more balance. Instead of being on the side of the see-saw that's up in the air, our feet touch the ground. This Thursday, we'll exchange February's realizations for March's manifestations. Our discoveries become actions! Thoughts are set in motion! With the first Mercury Retrograde on March 12th, we are poised for our first breakthrough of this freedom-seeking, bound-for-change 5 year and set sail in a new direction that aligns deeply with our spiritual path. In these last few days of quiet, still February, stay open to the messages in your heart. Release your concerns, ask that they be replaced with adventures and, as always, make time for gratitude. Can't wait to share more about March's 8 energy next week. Until then....love and light to you all.
