Today 2/19, the Sun leaves the logical, air-based sign of Aquarius and shifts into the mystical and intuitive water sign of Pisces.

Happy Birthday to all of the Pisces of the zodiac !

We are also right in Mercury Retrograde, the first one of three this year.

Mercury stationed retrograde in Pisces on 2/16, and will move back into Aquarius and then station direct on 3/9.

There is a lot of Pisces energy at the moment.  Mercury , the Sun, the Moon will be this weekend and Neptune which is Pisces ruler is also there.

At this time you can be feeling weepy, nostalgic and perhaps some melancholy as we are ultra sensitive under all this water energy.  Soggy might be the appropriate word.

You may also be feeling extra intuitive, spaced out and creative.

Pisces is a very emotional sign that can be quite the dreamer, and as long as these dreams have some basis in reality, it’s a nice feeling.   

Keep in mind that Pisces energy can also be unrealistic and confusing, ruled by Neptune, so it is up to you to keep your feet planted on the ground.

We have our New Moon in Pisces this Sunday, 2/23 at 10:30 am EST.

This Moon really supports us in envisioning what we are bringing into the next season, the season of Spring.

Ask yourself at this time: what fruit on the trees need to be tended to?  What needs to be cut down, replanted or just needs a little more tenderness for new growth?

Tenderness.  Yes that’s the right word at the moment.

Be tender with yourself, be tender with others and extend kindness and graciousness.

We are all working to build something of significance, even if we are confused as to what that may be right now.

NOW is the time where our dreams, hopes and aspirations have the chance to bear some fruit as we watch, we wait and we listen.

We must still do the work behind the scenes, as daydreaming can and will be hard to avoid as I mentioned above, so use this energy to create a vision board perhaps.

Watch more below.

As always, I am here for you if you are in need of some clarity and enlightenment.

See all consultations that I offer here.

2/9 2:33 AM EST, we experience our 2nd Full Moon of 2020.

Full Moons are times of great release, purging and cleansing.

 A Full Moon happens when the Sun is opposite the Moon.

This highlights the polarities (opposing forces) in our lives.

These polarities are of an emotional, physical and spiritual nature.  It can be one area or all three, and each Full Moon will feel different based on the sign and planetary aspects surrounding the Moon.

Awareness and emotion reach their peak and are heightened around Full Moons.  This is why we feel more edgy and anxious around these times, sometimes not even being able to sleep.

The Moon rules our subconscious, the raw emotions that lurk underneath the surface.

Everything comes to a head under this energy.  There is a tug of war between head and heart.

The Sun is in Aquarius (air) while the Moon is in the opposite sign of Leo (fire).

Mind versus heart, ego versus soul- this is what this Full Moon represents.

Aquarius is an air sign, wanting to remain detached emotionally and work towards their goals.

Leo is a fire sign, acting impulsively from the heart and wanting to create with passion.

Core words and emotions with this moon cycle are passion, courage, action, creation.

Planet Mars is making a supportive trine to this Full Moon and is the most significant aspect, really supporting healthy assertion but we  must be careful to think things through (Aquarius) and not act too hasty (Leo).

Mercury has also just entered his pre-shadow phase and is about to go retrograde on 2/16, and we are already feeling that.

If you are feeling extra tired and achy at the moment?  Look to the planets currently as they are adding to these feelings.

Likewise, if you are feeling extra charged?  Look to the planets, look to your own chart to see what is triggering you.

There’s a message for each sign in the video below.

Listen /watch below to find out how this Full Moon will affect you.

Oh, and please ignore the fact that I am not looking straight at the camera, I didn’t realize it was backwards! Ha, I was not re-recording so I do apologize <3

One last thing- if you are in the NY/Westchester County area, there are still some spots left for our Full Moon drum ceremony at Sun Raven this Sunday evening!   All are welcome.    Info and sign up here.

Peace & Love,

Lisa

 

 

 

 

 

We all go through phases where we feel alone, depressed, discouraged and disheartened.  Stuck in the mud.  It could even simply be seasonal but hey- it happens, we all get in a funk!

So, what are some ways to bust through the funk?

I normally tell myself and others that when you feel this way, the best way to feel better is to get creative!  Do something you enjoy, something you are good at that perhaps you do not always allow yourself to indulge in for whatever the reason.

But what happens when even that does not make you feel better?

For example, I right now feel as though I am in some sort of ‘creative paralysis’.

I have so many ideas and projects I would like to get moving on, yet I feel stuck.

So today I am going to stop obsessing about these things.

I’m going to go for a run, then cook and then clean a bit.  This makes me still feel productive, and I actually enjoy all three of these things (well, not so much the cleaning but it does feel good once it’s done).

Here are Some Ways To Get Yourself Out Of That Funk

First and foremost, accept where you are.  Accept and respect the fact that you are in a funk, that you are not in your best space.  This is key.  Beating yourself up for being non-productive is not going to make it any better, in fact it will just keep you planted in a negative place longer! 

Keep in mind that you will not be in this place forever, that it is perfectly normal, and that everyone goes through this!

 Take inventory of your bodily habits/rhythm

This one may sound obvious, but what is your sleep quality like?  Are you going to bed at a decent hour?  You’d be surprised at how much more motivated you feel after consistent sleep.  If you are struggling with sleep, it’s important to address this issue.

What are your eating habits like?  Are you keeping your blood-sugar stable?  Are you eating enough, eating the right foods, eating enough calories?  Are you taxing your liver with too much processed foods and/or alcohol?  This will most definitely have you feeling sluggish if that’s the case.

Have you been to the Doctor and have you been checked for any vitamin deficiencies?  These can and will alter your moods big-time.

If any of these areas could use a little attention,  shift the focus here and you will most definitely begin to feel more balanced, hence lightening the load of that funk!

Address and deal with emotional issues

I know, I know.  This is not fun, but like I always say ‘the only way out is through’.  This is fact.

Do not be afraid to acknowledge the ugliness you may be feeling or dealing with.  Ignoring or suppressing these emotions will only cause toxicity in the body, upsetting your equilibrium and further perpetuating that funk!

Remember: acknowledging your feelings is not the same as wallowing in them!  Acceptance and release is key.  Go and talk to a professional if you need to, but don’t stuff your pain away.  Trust me- it will only keep resurfacing.

Write about your feelings

Seriously, journal.  It does not have to be a novel either.  At the end or beginning of each day simply jot down a few bullet-points of how you are feeling/felt through out the day.  The highs/lows, what you experienced.

This is two-fold because you get to reflect back on what the real issues are at hand, and also- you may realize that you have much more to be grateful for than you initially thought.

Consequently you may discover what is simmering beneath the surface, what is truly bothering you.  Once you see it in black and white, you may have a ‘eureka’ moment.  This may just help you to take action which will get you moving forward again.

Get Creative

As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, do something creative!  “But I’m not creative”.  Nonsense-  we are all creative!  Tap into the right brain, the intuitive side of you and feel what it is that you are good at, what you enjoy.

We all have something(s).  Something that is ‘ours’.  Drawing, painting, dancing, ….whatever it is…indulge in it.

Why was I inspired to write this post this morning?  I’m in a funk!  So I’m channeling that energy into writing.  Creative.

Move your body

Seriously, this is such a huge piece of the puzzle.  A good sweat releases endorphins and endorphins make you happy and make you feel good 🙂 .   Even if you don’t break a sweat just get some movement in, get the blood flowing.

It could be as simple as a good stretch session, weight lifting, whatever.  This always busts the blues for me.  I don’t think anyone will say they feel worse after some exercise.

Spend time outdoors, nature is medicine.

Enough said!  Get outside.

Last but not least-spend time with people that make you laugh

Laughter is truly the best medicine.   Call your hilarious friend and go grab a coffee.  Watch a silly movie or show.  Find the humor in everything.  It really does help, and remember:

Friday 1/24 4:42 PM EST, we have our first New Moon of this year, of this decade.

The Sun left earthy and studious Capricorn and shifted into forward-thinking Aquarius on 1/20.

The Sun and Moon will join up on 1/24 (this is the New Moon) gracing us with hope and optimism, but naturally there is work to do!

A New Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon are in alignment in the sky.

The Sun (our ego) and the Moon (our soul) are harmonizing under this energy which produces clarity and opportunity.

A New Moon marks the beginning of the lunar cycle, the movement of the moon through its different phases.

New Moons are a time of new beginnings.  The beginning of a new cycle, a time to initiate plans and projects, get things moving, a fresh start.  

Abundance surrounds this energy.

New Moons are auspicious times filled with promise and opportunity.

The Sun aligns with the Moon in the sky when it’s a New Moon meaning, that they are in the same sign –Aquarius.

Aquarius is the sign of the water-bearer, a fixed sign under the element of air.

This sign is intelligent and forward thinking, concerned with group consciousness.

There is still an element of a slightly heavy and well, hard working feeling.

We still have quite a few planets in Capricorn, and Pluto and Saturn are intertwined keeping up this theme of purging, shedding, and renewal.

This can have us feeling a little off -center, but yet wanting and working towards change.

There is much more going on to talk about.

Watch below to hear about it.

✌️ & ❤️
