The sun and moon are in symbolic relationship to our IllumiNature. The sun is alive within us as our Infinite Light Nature (Presence) — we reflect that Light (as the moon does) and live it alive through our Human BEing Nature (Person). Our IllumiNature is our conscious awareness of these united, harmonious, merged energies. Presence + Person as ONE, living this earthly experience.
The moon’s energy is reflective of our Inner Self, our emotional landscape & intuitive nature. It is mood-oriented, offers the nuances and subtleties of our beingness, and is the closest reflection of our relationship to our true nature day to day.
MOON PHASE: The week begins with final waning energy into the New Moon in Pisces on Wed., March 2, and then waxing energy begins. This week we allow the New Moon energy to be our main guiding force.
New Moons are our time for honoring and reflecting, allowing renewal and new potentials to reveal themselves. The time is ripe for realigning, intention setting, and allowing our dreams to begin to move toward manifestation.
The moon moves from Air/Aquarius into Water/Pisces, then into Fire/Aries, and lands in Earth/Taurus this week. All four elemental energies are at play with the moon.
Intuitive Guidance for the week:
- Relate with the new moon in Pisces energy … what is it inviting in us, and how will we respond … use all of the info and guidance in this post to inspire your relating.
- The moon (along with all of the planetary energies) is bringing culmination to a several month cycle of deep inner healing and soul growth that has helped to prepare us for the month ahead. March’s energy will feel quite different than what we’ve been experiencing, and this week we get our first taste.
We can tap into a more ‘forward-moving’ feeling, a directness, and therefore more grace and ease as we continue to grow and expand. Sounds good, right? - We may feel a quickening, an activated, engaged, inspired aligned feeling from within that we may not have felt in this way for quite some time. This will feel welcome, like a warm, fresh spring breeze, even if we are still wading through some unknown waters, the proverbial shoreline on the horizon is coming into view.
- This week it’s all about leaning in and squeezing every last bit of understanding, insight, and clarity we can out of the reflective, invited self-awareness and deep trauma/wound healing time we’ve been steeping in … and then relax and trust as we take a deep breath in eager anticipation and allow the energies of March to unfold.
- There’s an energy feeling of expansion/contraction.
We may notice we still need rest, and we need to honor that … we may be aware there’s more healing and self-realizing on the menu (that’s life as a human BEing, ever-evolving, ever-becoming, ever-expanding; embrace it!) … and at the same time, we can feel this stirring feeling … we’re feeling ourselves coming alive again in very new ways … our creative force is coming back online within … we may be feeling the pulse of inspiration, new ideas, and the sudden knowing that it’s time for the inner shift to hit the plan! Outward expression, collaboration, co-creation energies are all dawning with new potential. Lean into open receptivity, trust, and grace. - ASK?? Where do we feel ready to break free?
- ASK?? What is my heart and soul trying to tell me that I may not have heard yet?
- ASK?? What keeps me moving, feeling curious, energized, and excited for what’s to come?
Active Energy Themes:
Notice how these energies may play a role throughout your week.
Journal your observations. This is a great way to begin to further deepen to and relate with your own natural, intuitive rhythm and flow.
(These are just some potential possibilities, your uniqueness + day to day realities will always serve up their own blend!)
Early week : inward focused, review/relate, rest oriented, simplify, slow down (even more!), consider how your inner and outer worlds are harmonizing, love yourself more, allow vulnerability, feel the feelings, what is wanting to shift, change, expand
Mid-week: new moon introspection, give our inner-world loving attention, extra-self care — and with Pisces, we add extra intuitive, dreamy, deep-feel-y, mystical, spiritual, visionary, super-tapped-in higher consciousness vibes
Late-week: relaxed, receptive, stirring of passion/focus, honoring seeds of potential starting to make themselves known from within, sparks of inspired creativity, expand and ground synergistically — lovingly, intentionally
In the body this week:
We’re giving extra love to our lower legs and achilles, feet, toes, pineal gland (Spiritual third eye, inner sight, standing in and walking our Truth), head, mouth/tongue/teeth, arteries, neck, vocal chords, and thyroid gland (IllumiNature Expressed! 5th chakra/creative authentic expression, finding + using our voice)
BEing & DOing Ideas that help to integrate + support this week:
- Singing! Turn on your favorite feel good, raise your vibe higher tunes and sing your heart wide open! (the new Root Down Deep album by Sam Garrett and Mollie Mendoza takes me there in a flash!),
- some self-massage time focusing especially on your feet, heels, and lower legs (thank your legs and feet for standing firmly on this earth and for their support in moving you along your journey of becoming in this physical reality),
- repeat your IllumiNature Empowerment Statements every single day (…attune, affirm, activate! … so loud the neighbors and wildlife can hear you, claim your inner radiant power!),
- meditation! (your choice — bring intention to a walk in nature, chant a mantra aloud & let it keep repeating mentally over and over across your mind, sit in mindful stillness, breathe long and deep and focus your gaze to your third eye, listen to a guided meditation … like the one offered this week at IllumiNature Circle, breathe and HUM a deep, low tone on the exhale, journal
- start a dream journal (record your sleeping dreams, daydreams, visions, hopes, and ideas kind of dreams … let your inner creative pulse into the journaling conversation)
- sit down with this week’s Reflection & Introspection questions (explore, relate, discover with your soul)
