Hey, how are you? Hope you're well. Uh, it's Sunday Arvo the 8th of March, and I've just been looking at the week ahead. Uh, we have, you know, about a week and a half left of Pisces season and the Retrograding Mercury is here. Until the 23rd of March, and I just kind of want to really talk about that energy and the CE energy this week. We've got a new moon next week, so I'll talk about that then. But yeah, with this Mercury retrograde there is, like I was saying last week, a contemplative. Tone to it, it's internal. You know, Pisces is really related, I think, to our creative and mystical, um, selves, and they're deeply entwined. You know, the more I read for charts, the more it seems to me like Pisces emanates like that they are both, it's the same energy expressed differently, you know, creativity and mysticism or, um, intuitive. Nurse, uh, and on the back of this pretty frenetic full moon lunar eclipse in Virgo with the south node there. I think for a lot of us. We really felt the, again, the, the frenetic system of the south node in Virgo, you know, that busyness, that wired feeling, that self pressure, that time limitation on the self Virgo is such an, it. It was just such an interesting experience of time. I guess that's what I wanna speak about because in Virgo. Time can feel pressurized. And it's POV. And this is more in the sense of it's unconscious expressions, right? Because the south nerds here, and this is what we're exercising, this is what we're, we're, uh, seeing and, um, evolving through. But it can, its energy can be so focused on the granular, um. Or just, yeah, it's like pressurizing the self to do a particular thing. That time feels not well spent, whereas it's antidote. And what is medicinal always lives in the opposite sign, which is where our sun is right now. It's where many of our planets are right now. And in Pisces, that experience of time in its higher expressions is when we are in that slipstream of the now. You know that limitless, expansive, hugely vast experience of time, and I think it's contemplation or taking us outside of monkey mind. Really taking ourselves outside of the mind, um, that allows us to sit in the very fertile, potent, creative, um, cauldron of possibility, which comes when we're in Pisces time. Uh, the unconscious version of Pisces Time would be. So out of body and just living off world and not inhabiting, uh, our physicality at all and being prayed of all manner of things. Um, you know, I think when we are boundaryless in a physiological sense, many of us will have had. Parasites or even things like leaky gut, you know, there's a perforation of our boundaries. Um, as a side note, I wanted to say as well, like in astrology school, we're somehow already in week three and we've just been hanging out with the houses this week. And I was just saying in the. With the classes this week, like now in Pisces season, this is a great example of a malleable sign. The malleable signs are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. And so to explain what that is to you, for those of you who live in the South like me, we're in this meeting place of. Summer and autumn. You know, there's some days where it's still very hot and it's definitely still summer and at the same time there's, at least where I live, there's fog rolling in, there's a lot of moisture in the air, there's more rain. Uh, there's cooler days. And for you in the north, it's still winter, but there are the spring blossoms. Um, peaking through the snow, you know, like you are able to feel the warmth. There's more sunlight. Whereas here it's like the, the sunlight is a lot more obviously retreating and this is what a malleable sign is. It's when we're between signs, sorry, between seasons, you know, and here in Australia, I dunno why, but for whatever reason, we decided that the 1st of March is, um, autumn, but. I'm sorry. It's not, it's, it begins on the Equinox. Um, and this is, if you think about the physicality of that, like seeing that visually, you know, this, this melding of two. Uh, seasons. It gives you a sense of the characteristics of malleable signs. So here in PIs, it's malleable water. It can take whatever form it finds itself within. You know, it's water in the vastness of the ocean, it's water. Coming down from the sky, finding itself held in a leaf. It's water in a cup, it's water in a bath. It's, you know, it's a, it's a substance that is incredibly powerful and, um, highly adaptable. Um, and so on. This is water really speaks to our emotional self, our intuitive self, our energetic self. So here we may find ourselves, particularly with Mercury Retrograding here still for a couple of weeks, we may find that we're being led inside. Like there is still more of this internal, uh, reflective contemplative dream world imaginal, world energy taking place. And it's interesting'cause we slipped into the fire horse and certainly there was a sense of like, all right, now the energy will gear up. But while we're in PIs, this is not a, that this is not an energy that's like. Action orientated. Um, this is still, especially again with Mercury retrograding here, quite a contemplative time and really it's like when we do hit the equinox, which is when we will begin the, the new astrological, uh, year at zero degrees of Aries. As soon as that sun hits Aries. That's when it is, we begin a cardinal sign, which is initiating, which is action orientated. And here it will be in these, like this, this primal fire of Aries. And it'll be very interesting that first week because the sun will move over Neptune and Saturn, um, which were, you know, such big markings of this year astrologically. But with the sun there, with our fuel there, with our. Central star, our energy, our life given moving through the archetype of Aries. We'll feel that fire, we'll feel that action energy. So I just kind of wanted to say that this week because I think for a lot of people there's that sense of like, when does it begin? Like where's the, where's that fuel? Um. And it's coming, but utilize this time, you know, the north node is in Pisces. There is a lot of, uh, there's a lot here for us collectively in this higher expression of Pisces. There's something poetic about this energy because it's often nonverbal. It's like a. The lush experience of the intangible, the ephemeral, the non-verbal, the non-linear, uh, which is so medicinal for us, especially coming off the back of that full moon lunar eclipse in Virgo, where it's like so much to do with. This sense of if I'm in control of everything and if I'm micromanaging everything, uh, then I've got the best hope. You know, then I, then, then things must work out. Whereas we, I think Pisces can have a sense of like, there's one version of Pisces, which is like, um, you know, I'm the greatest. Insert anything here. I'm the greatest poet. I'm the greatest, uh, yeah, let's say poet. I'm the greatest poet that ever lived. Um, but I've never gapes fantasy illusion that, that Pisces can play into. And in that case, Virgo is the, the medicine. It's like, get yourself grounded. Get yourself into a routine. Like take the visions, take the. Take the inspiration and create habits that land that inspiration into 3D. Whereas the flip side, conversely, uh, for Virgo, if it's clenching and it's physically bracing and all of that ancient effing stress is loud and present in the body, then. You continuing the grip on and keeping yourself busy. Um, isn't the antidote, it is being more on this contemplative, transcendent, uh, yeah. Realm. That's all I have to say. I hope you have a beautiful week. Uh. I am just checking. Is there anything else I wanna say? No, I think that's it. Oh, I, I think I have a couple of spots left for April. Um, for anyone who is keen for a reading, there's so many people that are wanting to book in and I get it. It's an interesting time. So. Um, hopefully my waiting list won't grow. Like, hopefully I won't be booked out too many months in advance because for me, as a, I don't know, for my personality, knowing that I'm locked in to particular things months in advance, it it, it makes me, it makes my skin crawl, to be honest. I'd rather just. Put up the dates as I'm closer towards them, but we'll see. Um, anyway, there you go. Little side note, have a great week. I'll see you next week. I.
