This Week’s Transit Vibes IRL

New Moon In Pisces ♓️ March 18

March 20 Spring Equinox
The zodiac moves from Pisces → Aries at the equinox. In Pisces, we are in the energy of the ocean of spirit, endings, surrender, and dissolution. Our Sun shifting into fiery Aries represents birth, initiation, and a spark of life. You might see those early buds and flowers pushing through the Earth this time of year. This is Aries, the birth of something new, the energy to push and grow.

A quick lil Spring Equinox Ritual 🌺

Create a small moment of beauty

Place a few simple things in front of you:

• a candle

• something from nature (flower, branch, stone, bowl of water)

• a piece of art you created or love

• a journal

Light the candle

Acknowledge the season you are leaving

Take a few breaths and reflect on the winter that has passed.

Write down:

• What did winter teach me?

• What am I ready to release?

Welcome the new season

Next, move your attention to what’s happening now

Ask yourself:

• What wants to grow in my life this spring?

• Where do I want to experience more courage or joy?

Write one or two intentions for the season.

A small action

To ground the ritual, do one simple act later that day. Below are some ideas.

• plant a seed

• take a nice walk outside

• open a window and let the air in

March 20 Mercury Goes Direct
Mercury has been in retrograde since February 26. A Mercury retrograde is a fuzzy time, communications can be hard and easily misunderstood, and travel plans get messy. It’s a time to go inward, double-check your work and emails buuuutttt the good news is we're starting to move from this energy on March 20. It’s not immediate; we will still be in a time of transitioning from the retrograde that will last a few days. Use this time to reflect on what’s come up for you since Feb 26th.

Where were you asked or told to slow down? This moment is often good for sending that email you’ve been thinking about, making a decision you’ve been reflecting on, finally having the chat with a dear one that you’ve had on your mind, or you’ve been delaying.
