Spring is here! ☽◯☾

March 27th, 2017

Can you feel that shift in the air?

That flutter in your heart that aspires become more than just a passing fancy? Me too! Spring is here and we all feel propelled to do something about our respective situations. It’s time to change up our daily routines in favour of starting (or returning) to healthier practices across the board. Clean out the cupboards and sweep away those cobwebs, not only from your home but from your heart and mind as well. Give some thought to what a former first lady once said:

“Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you’ll be criticized anyway. You’ll be damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.”

~ Eleanor Roosevelt

But wait, there’s more!

Mercury is in retrograde for most of April. (Heads up Gemini’s and Virgo’s.) It stations retrograde on Sunday, April 9 then stations direct on May 3 (taking another two weeks to move out of it’s shadow). Use the free-thinking, reimagining energy of Mercury in retrograde to puzzle out fixes for any projects you currently have in motion. Tackle old business and any outstanding projects. (Closure is satisfying, isn’t it?) Hold the phone on whimsical purchases and impulsive projects. Instead, direct your creativity into refurbishing your business plans and financial models. More to that, with Jupiter in Libra, it’s an excellent time to rebuild relationships with others. Foster the connections that have soul meaning for you, and allow room for relationship dynamics to shift towards something more positive.
