Hey, this is a great, exciting week. We're really in the thick of the incredibleness of this year. It's started to happen over the last few weeks and it's really churning along beautifully right now and really over the coming month or so, it's just, it's mind blowing. I feel like I've been saying this every week for the last several weeks and hey, I'm gonna be for the next several to come. We have an unbelievable full moon and lunar eclipse in Virgo taking place this Friday, and it's just, it's really majestic. So that's what we're gonna talk about. Today. There's so much happening right now. I'm gonna speak a lot more about the venous retrograde in the coming weeks too, because even the rebirth that she is going through from being a night star to a morning star, which will, she'll become a morning star in early April, it's just, it's wild. The amount of rebirth, regeneration. Endings so that we can have new beginnings. This is really what's taking place right now, and I am so excited, like Giddily excited about this eclipse season. Or portal, if you want to call it. I often stray away from that language, but I have to say, even in my own personal world, it feels like this portal of majesticness and unbelievable ness is really, has really entered into my world, I would say over the last sort of five days. And I don't think I'm alone in that. Yeah let's get into it. I'm going to begin by speaking to Virgo and what her symbolism is, if you've seen her in the sky, or if you've seen a visual, a visualization of the constellation. It is. Some say it's Persephone, some say it's Australia, depending on the culture and the time period and where you are. She has these different expressions, but in most representations, she's holding a sife, a harvesting tool, and wheat in her opposite hand, and. Egyptians have been using this constellation some say for 15,000 years because when she was very present in the sky, when the sun was, depending on the place that she was falling and when the sun was there, she represents harvest time, in the northern hemisphere and specifically with its. Links to this Egyptian mythology, specifically the wheat harvest. So this has been her expression for a long period of time. And so if we think about that, what is required for us to have to reap the bounty of a harvest, part of the ickiness of. That I personally find with today's culture or the fastness of the culture is this sense that, I don't know, you can wake up tomorrow, have an idea and be a millionaire by 5:00 PM or there's this sense of the hack culture, five ways to hack your life or whatever the silly clickbait title is. This is the antithesis of true Virgo. In order for us to reap the bounty of a harvest, we have had to put in work over time. It requires us to work. Virgo is in its actualized form. Holding the produce, reaping the benefits of its actualization process, which is this long process, these processes of daily habits and rituals or weekly habits and rituals that we've been enacting over time. This is an earth sign. Earth is not about hat culture. It is about. Tending to the land, making the land fertile, which is a whole process in itself. It's about laboring, it's about planting the seeds, being so intentional in terms of where you are going to put this energy, where you are going to plant these seeds, how you're going to show up every day to water this intention or desire through action. So there's this whole cycle of planning, planting, tending that goes into it. Now, we're not really dealing with the highest expressions of Virgo right now because the South Note is here since the 11th of January. Until July, 2026. We're really getting to excavate and become very consciously aware of anywhere that there is an unconsciousness in our own Virgo template that we are expressing or, yeah, utilizing and expressing. Unconscious being a blind spot, we can't see that it's there. The beauty of a south node and then the eclipses that we have here, namely this one, this is the first eclipse that we're having in Virgo lunar eclipse that we're having in Virgo. So it's very potent, as I've been saying, with the full Moon, the unconscious. The moon becomes conscious because we have the spotlight of the sun light consciousness goes full effect onto the moon, the unconscious. Interestingly, because this is an eclipse, the earth will move between sun and moon. So we'll get to, I would almost say ibe. Or really be activated in the energetics of this. This is something that I've been working with myself since the 11th of January, as I've been saying. My moon is here in Virgo, and this full moon lunar eclipse will actually be. On my moon, it will be one degree away. So it's a very strong conjunction, on my moon. And so since January I've really been a lot more aware of, it's been a lot more obvious how I am. Utilizing and playing and expressing this archetype of Virgo. As I've been saying, like the levels of body tension, I've been so much more aware of my, how I pack my schedule in a way that has made me inefficient. So I have changed that and I've been really working on that, in having massage. To relieve the level of, yeah, tension. Ancient, sometimes it feels like ancient tension in my body. and as I've been preparing to speak to you today, I've been speaking a lot about the birth canal because we're in this incredibly potent time. Between Pisces and Aries and Pisces and Aries, specifically the end of Pisces, beginning of Aries, in our, in the chart in the sky, is so prominent this year. And to me, part of how I am articulating that is its vision into reality. It's vision, the dream, the idea. And then the taking action on that thing. And to me, this is like a birth canal. And when I think about the south node in Virgo and these unconscious expressions of Virgo, it makes me think about when I was preparing to birth my child. And for me personally, that was a, as somebody who is, has a lot of air in their chart is very cerebral. a lot of my own personal work has really been landing into my body because it's a lot easier for me to be in my mind, or not even in my body, but in my. Mind above my head. So a large part of that process of prep, preparing was understanding and learning, like showing myself the data, which is Virgo. Virgo learns through showing itself the information and that birth at least. In, in terms of the way I was doing is a natural process and the body knows exactly what to do, and essentially it's a process of letting go of the mind and trying to control from the mind space so as to allow the body to take over and do its thing. Because the more the mind, at least from my research, at least, the more the mind gets involved. The more it tries to control the process, which makes it feel safe, the more it interrupts the body doing its thing. And so for me, a lot of the prep was getting into my body was. Allowing in spaciousness and meditating. But meditating where I'm in my body and I'm telling my body that I trust it, that it's, that it can do its thing, et cetera, et cetera. So I feel like there's a parallel to this. Full moon and the south node being in Virgo, because the unconscious expressions of Virgo are wildly inefficient, they are very controlling. It's where the mind, it, the body starts to grip, it starts to want to control. It's holding on tightly. It's all about. The how to, this is how this timeline is going to unfold. These are all the things that I need to do in order to actualize this thing. It's this level of I would say neurosis. It's highly neurotic. It is linked to neurosis to even OCD. It's like this compulsive. Filling up of time. Whereas the opposite, the medicine is the higher expressions of Pisces, not the lower expressions of Pisces, but the higher expressions of Pisces, which is spaciousness. Which is surrender a term that I have really. Struggled with a lot and have interfaced with in, in lots of different ways, which I may or may not explain. We'll see how we go this episode, but it's allowing it's relinquishing control over all of the details of how life is going to play out for you. It is. Self-flagellation. It is self-denial. Again, I'm talking about unconscious qualities. So are you aware of where you may inhabit self-denial? It could be a denial of. The things that you deeply want to do, the things that you deeply want to actualize, but you deny their existence either because you have a wildly inefficient schedule, or you fill up all of your time doing mundane stuff and never have the time to tend to the desires that fuel your soul. I would also refer to it as these in inherited or absorbed expectations of self and life. Again, the south node here, this eclipse here, this full moon here. It allows us to hear the whispers or to see the dynamics or the behaviors or the patterns that aren't serving us. It might be limitations in our self perception or limitations in our sense of pleasure. Joy, fun play. These things are so medicinal to Virgo, which really can. Cross off something that's on the to-do list and then move on to the next thing. There's no celebration, there's no fun around the achievement. It's like, all right, cool. I've still got so much to do, so let's cross that off and let's start the next thing. Let's start the next task. Play fun, pleasure. The joy of being on the journey of this process of actualization. These are highly medicinal. For Virgo, if you feel any of this energy, if you're somebody who is quick to get busy, is quick to feel, stress is quick, to feel a lot of tension in your shoulders, in your neck, then how can you invite in more of these things? How can you invite in more white space on your schedule? More spaciousness. Into your body and your inner world and your experience of life. For me it's in this year of living by the ocean. It's going to my favorite ocean pool and floating on the top. Looking up at the clouds and just floating, being held by something or being in that experience of being held by something has been wildly relaxing and very deeply grounding for me.'cause it's not about me controlling everything, getting to have these experiences. When I lived in the mountains, it was getting to lie in my hammock again, being suspended. And held by something where I'm able to physically, fully relax has just been unbelievably healing for somebody like me who, as I've said, can be very cerebral, who can be very quick to being busy. It was the first word that I ever said. Busy. It's something that I've really, yeah. Always had. And so I have to be very conscious about that aspect of myself or that tendency within myself and actively create, its opposite astrology. Like so much of nature is lessons in opposites, and this is what we really get to explore. With the nodal axis as it moves and shifts through the zodiac, the lower unconscious expressions of one sign, in this case, Virgo, are medicated by, that's probably not the right way to say that, or find medicine and healing in the higher expression of its opposite sign. And that always just reminds me of. When I lived in a beautiful rural part of England where there was so much singing nettle around, and anytime I would get stung, I would look around to try and find the chickweed, which was always literally within meters of the nettle. And you would pick that and you would rub that on the sting and it would eradicate it. There's always, there's so much force in oppositional, in, in opposites. I don't know. It's or a better way to say that is there's the unconscious and then the healing balm. The, or there's the sting, and then the healing balm is very close by there. There's a symbiosis between the two and. So if you are finding that you are gripping on, or that you're experiencing these subtle forms of control, like trying to control time really by packing our schedules and never allowing in the new or openness or spaciousness or physical relaxation, to me it's like similar as Gemini, like both of these. Territories are ruled by mercury. Very different expressions of mercury. It's shallow breathing versus a big, deep belly, full breath and exhale. Inhale and exhale. Here we can be shallow breathing, that there's a, this level of, yeah, again, neurosis it. There's something neurotic about the unconscious expression of this sign. It can lean towards worry and. The antidote to worry a lot of the times in an unconscious way is trying to control the self the situation, our time, our schedule. I think it is this fear of, or can be this unconscious fear or protection from failure. If I have this deep desire that makes my soul my whole being sing, and I try to do that thing. And I initially suck at it. I will protect myself from that experience. When really Virgo understands like a, like any kind of artist, that it is a process, that it is a journey, that it's a craft energy. I have to. I have to tend to this over time. The more I come back to this thing, the better I become at this thing. If I avoid this thing and I live in my head about it, and I play out all the worst case scenarios, or I play out the fantasy, the ultimate fantasy, but then I never even try to realize it, then it's really a, an incredible feeling of stuckness. And that's what I think the unconscious expression of Virgo is. It feels stuck, it feels sticky. The high expression, it's making moves, it's taking action. It's in action. It's deeply in action, and the unconscious expression is deeply in inaction. Which is this cause of stuckness or feeling sticky. And if you've ever had that feeling, if I think back to the times where I have, it's because I've wanted to go in one, one direction, but parts of myself are holding me back in another direction. And so there's no movement, it's, ugh, it is like one of the worst feelings ever. And what I'm inviting you to really look at during this, the lead up to this incredible Friday full moon lunar eclipse here in Australia. It's happening at 5:55 PM How cool is that? And so it'll be happening very early morning in Europe, and it will be, yeah, it'll be very early hours. Of Friday morning in America. What I really want you to do, or what I would recommend is a better way, is to allow in spaciousness, there's something again medicinal about having this eclipse and full moon in Virgo while being in Pisces season, which it always is, right? The full moon's always in Virgo when we're in Pisces season. But we're in the energetic experience. We're in the world of Pisces now. This sense of surrender and spaciousness and magic dropping in seemingly from nowhere is really taking place right now. So we're swimming in the antidote. We're swimming in the healing bal, and then we get to have this oppositional experience on Friday. And so what I would highly recommend is inviting in spaciousness. Where this week can you allow in white space that you do not fill up? It might be a walk around your neighborhood, but no, no earphones. Don't not, don't fill your space. Don't fill your being with input. This is what I would recommend is the opposite of consuming. It's just, it's emptiness. How can you invite in more and more of this emptiness, this spaciousness, this surrender. I would also be inviting in and utilizing large bodies of water, the ocean creeks, rivers, a bath and a shower. If that's all that you have available, because we're in this eclipse se cycle where we're entering it, I would highly recommend. My favorite ally, which is salt. Having baths with salt, having a salt scrub, washing your hair in, in the higher expressions of Virgo, where can you invite in? Not in a neurotic way, but where can you invite in cleanliness, to body to physical body, to energy. It's energetic hygiene. I highly recommend. Being grounded in your own body in the present time, is really the best way you can have energetic hygiene. It's clearing your field. Yes, it's saging, but it's also, taking those things that you've been eyeballing for weeks or months that you're like, oh, I should really donate that, or I should really sell that. And getting those things together and doing it, I've had, I had two bags in my. Boot for God, I would almost say months. Which I finally donated yesterday, but it's just been this like dead space in the boot of my car and I've felt it there. And so even to just get rid of that and there's more that I'm going to do today, I've been replacing things that have just reached their use by date in my house. And I've replaced them with things that are even more beautiful. And I've, this is a great time for beauty, for beautifying your space. And just the feeling, it's subtle, but it's there. The this feeling that you have when you space is gorgeous and it feels beautifully clean. For me it's just even been these areas within the house where I've been like, I should really deep clean the fridge. And then doing those things, that feeling of weird fulfillment is is medicinal in itself. So we're entering this eclipse phase and then we're going to have these two weeks of the moon waning. This is a time of release and letting go. Again, we can ritualize that by. It might be becoming conscious of a limitation or a, where we're holding on. And so we release that by writing about it, by speaking it aloud to ourselves or being in conversation with a trusted ally about these things. Or we can ritualize it, it might be taking that paper, that piece of paper, and safely burning it. It might be. Taking these possessions that have reached, they're used by data in our house and offering them to others, taking them out of our field and donating them to other people. There's lots of ways that we can ritualize this, these things, this, the, these, this idea of, yeah. Yeah. So why we want to do this. This is the last full moon of the. Astrological year. It always is. And now it's an eclipse. So it's a culmination point. It's the end of chapters. It's a, we're opening up this, releasing this ending so as to bring about what serves to be a wildly potent new moon, partial solar eclipse in Aries two weeks later. I it's so delish. If you think about it this way, you are being invited to look at what truly matters to you. What sets your soul, your heart, a flame? What really calls your name in terms of why you're here? Where are you stuck? Where is this sense of. Yeah. Stickiness or unproductive un productiveness, or you're making your life so predictable, you're making your routine so predictable and safe, that there's no room for the new or the spacious, or the exciting, or the unknowable, the unfathomable. Where are you finding so much safety in what's known that it's making life deeply boring? Where is there a lack of fun and play and wonder? And as we release this, we move towards Aries and a soul partial solar eclipse, new Moon here, which is all about action precision moves. If I know exactly what my desires are. If I've looked at my sense of productivity and where I'm being wildly unproductive, what are the precise moves that I can make? How can I move my whole life force towards the things that call my name? In a true Aries way, in a direct, precise, intentional MA manner, we are releasing inaction. And we're moving towards potent action, as I've been saying, and as I spoke about at length in the astrology of this year class. This is a year of action. This is a year of precise action. it's such a beautifully exciting time. I'd also look at where your sense of worth. Is tied to being productive. We're living in this time, or we have been living in this time where it's very easy to get a sense of worth comes from productivity or this sense of always being on, and the sun and the moon are great teachers here. The sun is always on. The sun is always expressing itself. It's always. Shining, whereas the moon is seasonal, there's whole periods where you can't even see her. Naturally, she retreats into herself, and then there's other times when she's on and she's visible, she's out in the world, she's shining her light or the reflection of light onto the world, and there's other times where you, again, you can't even see her. She's fully retreated. The more that you are aware of your own seasonality, your own cycles, the more that you're able to build your world around these things, rather than this sense of, I must always be producing, I must always create my least favorite word, content. I must blah, blah. It's like the south node in Virgo. It's a lot of shoulds. It's so many shoulds. It's a lot of comparison. And again, the higher expression is completely opposite to that. It's in a very healthy relationship with spaciousness. With rest, it doesn't have to earn rest. It builds a schedule where rest is a natural part of it. So literally just take notice of what comes up this week and then how can you ritualize this experience of releasing. This is a regenerative cycle and I hope it's a wildly brilliant one for you. I'd love to hear what your experience is. So please let me know and we'll certainly follow up all about this in next week's episode. And in great news, I get to pick up the Astrology School manual today, which starts in less than two weeks, astrology school. So if you are, if you've been contemplating, if you want to join, if you join this week, you'll likely get the manual before we start. It's the only opportunity to study astrology with me this year because level two is only accessible to people who have been in through level one. It's the experience of astrology as much as it is the learning of astrology. It's this confluence of theory and experiential you'll really get to, to apply. Practically astrology to your chart to yourself from week one and very excited to be offering this and it's so cool to see all the legends that have already joined. It's such a great group and I know there's more of you out there, so I'm excited to see who you are. And yeah, less than two weeks before doors close, so jump on him. Okay. Have a great week. I'm psyched for this, and I hope it's a beautiful time. Be care, be aware of any fearmongering. There's always a lot of that around Eclipse cycles. Just trust your own gut. Always, but you'll, I'm sure you'll read plenty of hectic things this week. So just be very discerning of what is, what feels true to you, what feels expansive. Okay, bye.
