3 seems to be coming up a lot this week, which I love it is one of my favourite numbers, and two of my favourite pieces of music go by this name as well.
There's 3 things that are having quite an effect on the people of earth at the moment. Mercury retrograde is of course prevailing (hope you're all ok), this week we had the full moon in Virgo, a lunar eclipse and the first of 13 full moons in the lunar cycle.
All these things going on might be giving off a slight push and pull energy.
On the day of the full moon I treated myself to a the day with cacao, rest and laughter. Without trying I saw something I have been working on for some years make a pivotal step in the direction I want. It was subtle, occurring almost without me noticing. Deep down I know what I am doing and I hold to the self belief and trust in myself and I will continue to grow it as this chapter comes to a close and becomes a part of my life story I share around a fire when I am old and wise.
I was conscious of this powerful 3/3 portal with the eclipse and full moon and mercury retrograde all happening Tuesday. I honestly felt like a duckling heading out on to water for the first time. I made the move, the ripples are on the water now and going out into the universe as a new course is setting. Couldn't tell you what that is exactly but this kind of experience of venturing into the unknown is like fuel for for curiosity and just feels very natural when you relinquish control over the things that don't actually matter that much.
As a rule though as with anything take what resonates with you and leave what doesn't, your energy is so precious and there's no point worrying about inconsequential things.
Life is different for everyone and in the space created by the cross overs we may celebrate differences and maybe even find growth in that space.
A whole heap of releasing is going on at the moment, the shaking up of old beliefs and old versions of yourself no longer serving you. Does it feel uncomfortable? Then change is coming, like the hermit crab in Gabor Matés fantastic growth analogy we have to go through a process of letting go, moving with vulnerability before we find a new shell to grow into, it is a repeating process that may indeed span life times.
The words you speak to yourself create your reality, are you kind to yourself as you are to others? When you have faith in yourself you will be capable of stepping in to whatever it is you choose and it requires courage to choose yourself when we live in a world that profits off our weak boundaries.
Perhaps you are more aligned with the earthy structural tones of Virgo herself, using this energy to stay your course, remain organised and autonomous in your day to day, everything planned for but not bogged down by the anxiety of anticipation, flexible enough to implement new strategies when it is asked of you. If you are aware of a goal or purpose - don't loose sight of it, we are in the midst of cosmic side quest season and the universe loves to send us tests and challenges.
To my fellow fire signs, think about how you communicate at the moment, the way to communicate that thing will present itself when it is ready, what may seem like a niggle could be devotion in disguise.
To the earth signs, be confident in your vision, remember you are building foundations at the moment, the time for flourishes will come, mind your energy, from strong roots grow a strong tree.
Air signs may you be blessed with clarity, as doors begin to open your perspective evolves and ideas that once drifted through your mind may return guiding you towards meaningful direction.
And finally for the water signs moving through the world of intuition and emotions may you find some strength to transform the overwhelming currents into wisdom. Your hearts are open like no others I hope this guides you to your sense of belonging and connection - leading by example allowing love and compassion to shape the year ahead.
Did all of those resonate or some more than others? Check your astrology placements for more accurate readings, you maybe surprised you carry a fiery sun sign but have a watery moon sign, typically making you very empathetic and intuitive for example.
Tarot card for this week is so unbelievably Mercury retrograde that I burst out laughing widen I saw it, it's vague, it's confusing, it's implying you're missing the point entirely.
I give you the knight of cups reversed. (Of course he's reversed, why would be be the right way around at this time of all times, we all love riding on horses backwards, I joke!)
Becoming emotionally led which leads to an emotional outburst where the focus is skewed and faculties are focusing on one particular aspect. A leave of your usual senses. This in itself is changing your perspective and overruling true sight that might be achieved from stepping back.
I deliberately did not use any negative or positive language there because the card is relatively neutral, we can have fits of laughter or fits of hysteria - both are emotional outbursts so it really depends on what is happening at ground level for you. The message however is if you are hyper focusing - take a step back and refocus the lens because you are letting things get to you that normally wouldn't bother you.
I wish you all a blessed week, we were graced with some sunny days and I hope you had the chance to feel the warmth of the rays and soak up some much needed vitamin d after that energetically and meteorologically heavy grey spell.
