It’s easy to lose our footing on reality these days as it continues to morph and change daily, dissolving in and out of form and former solidity of being.

We are shifting faster now into a higher timeline of self-awakening, removing all the debris of deadened decay to become something entirely new.

We are in the portal of creation energy herself, remembering our true power as creator of life and dreamer of new worlds. We are birthing and midwifing ourselves all at the same time. Cradling and welcoming the crowning head and newness of birth and simultaneously opening the space in our being to exhale the creations of new into form.

How do we fully embody this human vessel while knowing and deriving our true power and source from spirit, moving and being guided by this bigger unfolding reality? A dance of soul meeting body.

The season of surrender is moving through us all, in its own unique ways and varying intricacies of weaving its oceanic pull on our inner and outer being, as the sun moves through its final transits of the culminating sign of Pisces to close out the astrological year.

Pisces season is deep into the cosmic channel and ethers of our soul’s truest home and sense of belonging. An intuitive gatekeeper of all mystic and magical wisdom keeping. The deep grief held in the chest cavity, the lungs exhaling in relief or a shallowing of breath holding and gripping on, too afraid to let go and feel the loss as deep as a chasm in the belly of the earth.

As a poet speaks words and spells into being, we cast into the field our net of vision to bring to life the stirrings of these Piscean waters of mystery and magick. Pisces season initiates us deeper into soul wisdom as much as it asks of us to let go and release the need to grip and control the outcomes of reality still unfolding. Pisces wisdom reminds us that nothing is guaranteed. All life withers and returns to source at some point. It teaches us that true peace is found in releasing the inner controller and surrendering to soul.

We have been moving through big Piscean waves of release with a Pisces stellium marking the skies as many planets have been swimming through the cosmic soup. The north node ruling our soul’s journey forward now in Pisces guides us deeper into the spiritual activations of our soul’s gifts and blueprint in this lifetime. The north node in Pisces asks us to deepen into the spiritual practices that invigorate our being with faith and a sense of trust in what’s unfolding. We are being soul-activated here to bridge the energy of creation and our dreams of a new humanity. It’s a time to step more fully into our spiritual gifts as leaders of the new world, to help guide others along the way as the old continues to crumble and collapse. A time of spiritual leadership beckons, but one of soul integrity, compassion, wisdom, and true connection to source.

Virgo (Pisces’ opposing sign) rules the south node for the next 18 months and will be conjunct this full moon, a deep point of release and bridge between body and spirit, reminding us that we need both in order to be here and of purpose and mission. Virgo energy in its highest expression is a channel for the spirit to flow, for love to be anchored more deeply here on earth. Using the Virgo medicine to purify the vessel and make space for spirit to flow in more clearly. Letting go of the perfectionism and the control mechanisms toward self, other, or environment. Knowing that true center and trust come from a deeper, calmer sense of stillness within and not in micromanaging self, other, or the world we exist in.

We will be working with the Virgo/Pisces axis for the next year as we move into the energies of eclipse season. The eclipse portal opened with the new moon in Pisces on February 27 and will be officially kicking off as we welcome the first eclipse of 2025 landing in the earth sign of Virgo on March 13/14 at 2:54 a.m. EST and at 24 degrees of the mutable sign.

A full moon and lunar eclipse in the sign of Virgo begins the six-month long voyage through the eclipse waters until we will have a second lunar eclipse in Virgo in September of this year. Eclipse season activates us on many levels of our being, stirring the cauldron of change and unpredictability. Where we end up depends largely on how open and adaptable we are to change and the unknown. Eclipse season is not to be feared but welcomed for its spice, excitement, newness, and snow-globe shaking magic. Eclipses may bring the intensity, but also bring the realignment. Anything out of alignment must go.

And the cosmic energy is not playing when it comes to those realignment procedures. We have Venus, the sign of love, relationships, our values, money, and self-worth in retrograde now since March 1 in the sign of Aries and entering Pisces later on. Venus retrograde following an intense and emotionally triggering Mars retrograde is here to get our feminine energies balanced and right. To remind us of the self-worth and self-value we’ve been cultivating to hold more of and stepping away and out of energies and dynamics that don’t fully honor and reciprocate our value and energy.

Venus retrograde is a time of reflection on our own patterns and attachments in relation to love and connection. Where we anxiously and prematurely attach to other as source of safety, security, and validation of our worth and value. Where we avoidantly retreat and run away in fear of losing our sense of self and an equally deep fear of loss of love.

We get to see which parts of self are acting up in our one-on-one connections and how to navigate more healthfully through our unique flavoring of attachment wounding. Venus retrograde asks us to clear the cobwebs of relating and get clear on our intentions for connection and the energy we want or don’t want to invest in. Our energy is an investment. And our love also an offering to self or other.

In Aries, we seek to balance our selfhood with the other and not lose our motivation, drive, and purpose to what it is we’re here to do and create in the world to add value to our lives and the lives of others. In Pisces, we remember that true love is in the surrender and trust of all that is meant for us to flow and all that is not to flow out. Venus retrograde is a time to review all things relationship wise, and those from the past or past lessons in love can come back up for further resolution and reflection. It can be an intense time of relational tests and lessons. All in service to our selfhood and soulhood mission of seeing and knowing love in its most unadulterated sense.

Venus asks us to examine our relationship to self—how we value ourselves and where we need to bolster our own self-worth. An examination of money matters and financial energies ensues here as well—where we need to tighten up the flow of resources and where we need to funnel our resources better. Money is a relationship and mirror to how we see and value ourselves and our energy.

Mercury will also be moving through its retrograde energies of Aries and Pisces from March 15 through April 7. A inward exploration into energies of the mind to reexamine our communication patterns and default patterns of speaking, expressing, or withholding of self-expression out of fear of its impact on other.

In Aries, our words may be sharp and agitated at times if we are not speaking from true center point and balance of what it is we need and want. Things could get more easily heated and triggered-feeling as we move through the fires of Aries and reconnect back to our passion and purpose-driven channel and let that be the fire we stoke rather than words of attack on other. Taking full ownership for our triggers, sensitive spots, and emotions and not projecting those onto other is vital. A time to pause, slow down, and sit with the emotions around communication, miscommunication, or any misunderstandings that may surface.

In Pisces, our words soften again, and we can find healing and compassion for the self learning how to communicate its needs. The mind goes on a deep-dive journey, igniting the passion to claim our selfhood and self-expression but from a balanced, soulful, and intentional space of compassion as we find our way.

These retrograde energies will be swirling through us as we begin eclipse season. We are being asked to step more deeply and mindfully into a space of multidimensionality—how to shed energies of the past while simultaneously connecting to the energy and creation of the new without knowing the form it’ll take just yet. It’s a time of dissolving of our former selves, as much as they brought us safety and security at a time when we needed them, with deeper trust now for our soul and truth to hold and anchor us.

Mercury will be conjunct Venus for this full moon, a deeper cord striking fire, like lighting a match of our true heart’s desires, how to communicate our needs, desires, and wants in our relationships while also knowing that no one is obligated to meet our needs. How are we communicating and using our words when we are triggered and activated with another? Can we allow for more space and pause when activation ramps up? To go inward and be with those wounds stirring and let go of the ego drive to control, overpower, or be right.

Ego flares may be big here too. Jealousy swings; possessiveness flies. How to slow it all down and temper the ego traps? Love is not a possession to be had, manipulated, or controlled, but a channel to be opened in trust of how it needs to move through us. Can we return to trust and surrender even if ego wants to grip and claw onto a reality that was never meant to stagnant? Love is a river and we must let it flow and let it go. And others are on a journey of their own soul making and becoming and if rivers merge together may we have the grace, space, and sovereign permission to be exactly as we are and let others be where they are too.

March is a powerful month of energies, bolstering this full moon and lunar eclipse. The south node in Virgo adds even more oomph and release to this full moon. Signaling a deeper time of release and surrender of control. Can we let go even just 10 percent more and trust 10 percent more in a situation that is plaguing our peace? The shadow Virgo energies we are asked to release revolve around control, worry, perfectionism, micromanaging, outdated habits, hyper self-criticism, and being too rigid in our thinking and behaving. For truly, these patterns only stem from a disconnection of the body and our intuition. Realign to body wisdom and intuition flows effortlessly with more self-trust intact.

Virgo is ruled by the planets Mercury and Chiron. So this full moon will be adding a dose of healing energy as well. Chiron reminds us of the healing journeys as souls in bodies we take to purify the vessels and be a clearer channel for source energy to flow through. This energy stirs the wounded healer archetype within to keep tending to the body with devotion and soul commitment. And Pisces as the sun ruler reminds us to let go of the body as sole identity. We are a soul in a body, but the body is not the truth of who we are.

Many of us have learned ways to overvalue our physical appearance in a world bent on telling us our worth lay in the next diet, skinny-but-curvy-in-all-the-right-places body type, or other tape measure of self-value bent on us shrinking. This is also a point of possible release here with that south node energy—letting go of the toxic culture standards around the size, weight, appearance, and aesthetics of the body. How much programmed toxicity we have digested and tried to assimilate into our bodies by starving our life force and shrinking our bodies in hopes a diluted version of self would finally be worthy of love.

But this is the wound. The severing of our connection in the truest sense to our vitality. The disconnection from self that diet culture and body-shame culture perpetuates does nothing more than cut us off at the throats and stifle our felt existence in these bodies. Our true power is in being rooted and tethered to these bodies, lumps, bumps, crevasses, shifting, changing parts and all. The body is the feminine, and it was never meant to be controlled or put into a box of beauty or culturally digestible standards. Virgo energy is the feminine, the high priestess, the empress energy. One here to remind us to embody these precious bodies with love, care, and devotion. Virgo energy in its highest and enlightened state aids in the health of the body to connect us more deeply to our vitality.

Addictions of all types can be highlighted here too with so much Pisces energy. Pisces energy in its shadow is addiction and escapism from the overwhelm of emotion it feels and the exposed sensitivity it carries within. Pisces governs spirituality, so a higher octave of understanding our own patterns and nuances of self-evacuation is present and available to us too. But illusions and delusions may run higher here too, so we must remember to not be fooled by the masks others wear and trust always what we feel above all else. It’s a time of deepening into trust of our intuition.

This full moon will be opposite to Saturn in Pisces, while the Sun will be conjunct Saturn, dosing us with a reality check. Asking us to get real and practical on how we are structuring our creative channel and creativity. Saturn brings the structure and Pisces the flow. Masculine containment and feminine creation. We need both. What dreams do we need to build more tangible structure around?

Neptune is a prevalent energy as well with this full moon. Transiting its final degrees of Pisces, a closing of a spiritual book and chapter in our lives. Neptune will be conjunct the north node, a spiritual activation point toward our destiny and fate. Our dreams are here for a reason and purpose and are absolutely a part of our soul’s bigger purpose unfolding. Keep trusting the dreamworld to guide you forward.

Neptune will be entering Aries on March 30 for the next 15 years, a huge turning point and new chapter for bridging our dreams with action. Our visions will be receiving some fire and passionate ignition to remind us of our why and motivation for what it is we want to bring to life and fruition from the world of spirit and our dreams. A new moon and solar eclipse in the sign of Aries on March 29 will continue the fiery passion of self-reclamation and self-activation, moving us closer to our truest self as Aries season also begins a whole new cycle around the sun on March 20.

Let’s end this zodiac year with a deeper sense of surrender. A deeper trust in what is. And what is no longer. A deeper sense of faith in releasing control mechanisms over self, other, or our reality. Letting our creations breathe and be. Letting ourselves and others be and breathe into the space of soul becoming. We are all souls in bodies for just a little while. Let’s make it sweet, kind, and tender for all sensitive beings. Let the waves move through you as best you can and trust that what you are releasing is making space for the more aligned energies of soul to come in. Alignment happens in moments and is felt more deeply when we dip into spaces of mis-alignment. Don’t judge the process or yourself for needing to close out energies in the ways that make the most sense to you. Trust yourself and your soul above all else.

Let this full moon and lunar eclipse release your body and soul from any heaviness or lethargy. Let this full moon remind you how to let go as easily as the next exhale escapes from your chest and lungs, and if ease isn’t felt in the breath, start there. Allow this full moon to soften your body and being into greater trust for you soul’s journey of becoming. Allow the energy of surrender to wash over you now. Soul. Embodied. Human. In. Form. Formless. Spirit. Let. Yourself. Shift. As. Needed. Adapt. And. Flow. Unclench. Gripping. Jaw. Let. Life. Have. Its. Way. With. You. And. Love. Do. Its. Sacred. Work. On. You. Aho. Amen. And so it is.
