February 19 - March 20
Allow your emotions to guide you back to the power of your intuition.
I refuse to live my life by the Gregorian calendar. I suppose to an extent I must play the game; acknowledging on my tax forms that the fiscal year began in January and ended in December.. But deep down; there is a wild woman that knows better. SHE pays her energy and awareness to the stars, cosmic cycles and underlying intelligence of the Universe. So don't be fooled thinking that the year has begun -- Pisces Season is the last phase before a new 13-month (28-day) cycle is born again.
So how will you choose to finish this year?
There really are only 2 options:
Face the Truth or Avoid, Numb + Suppress.
here's the question we need to be reflecting on over the next few weeks:
How Can I Learn to Trust my Emotions?
This is a terrifying subject for most. Yes, MOST. The majority of society is operating against the wisdom of their body; pushing through a male-optimal-schedule of 24 hours, completely disregarding the fact that women, like the moon, operate on a 28 day cycle that shifts through various phases which require us to meet different needs throughout the month.
Let me back up for a moment -- think of your emotions like the voice of your body. Each sensation and receptive feeling generating a signal that we are left to diagnose +/or decipher.
The sad thing is, as adults, many of us have spent years familiarizing ourselves with the act of suppression and ignorance towards our own intuitive wisdom that speaks to us through these visceral signals.
That's right, all that psychic expansion you are seeking first must be met with loving awareness, acceptance and brutal honesty.
Imagine waking up, calling a friend you have ignored, treated like shit and made to feel unworthy of your attention. You are beyond eager to extract information from them and once the phone stops ringing, you hear their voice say a confused "hello?" -- immediately you are begging them for advice and answers to all your problems...
Sounds kind of strange when we put it that way...
You need to start thinking of your intuition as your friend. It won't be eager to tell you the truth and have a conversation with you if you have suppressed it, ignored it and made it feel unworthy. And rest assured, it will require some reparation through acknowledgement, forgiveness and rebuilding trust.
What does Intuition Feel Like?
In Ayurvedic Science; we are taught that each area of the body has a corresponding energetic centre (chakras). The sacral chakra is the home of our emotional intelligence, pleasure, creativity, sensuality and feminine energy -- it is here that we can also store feelings of jealousy, guilt + shame.
It is a natural human response to block ourselves off energetically when we have been through an experience which feels traumatic or to heavy to bear -- this is a subconscious form of self-protection when our emotional energy centre feels threatened.
As a child, I experienced a lot of heartbreak in my home. As a deep-feeling cancer-sun I innately wanted to mother everyone around me, even from the early age of 6 years old I felt it was my responsibility and duty to emotionally regulate and support everyone around me. Unknowingly, I was starting a life-long pattern of ignoring my own needs and hyper-fixating on the needs of others.
Do you resonate with this? Perhaps it was born out of a different situation; people pleasing to feel accepted, acting cold and emotionless to not appear as weak, or perhaps you simply shut your emotions down due to the lack of loving, compassionate leadership in your life.
It is essential to find the root of where these patterns began because it is HERE that we are now capable of alchemizing that limiting belief of unworthiness and self-rejection into the deepest, most loving compassion which yields a new level of wisdom and awareness.
I swear, if you keep reading -- there is a really fucking magical element to Pisces SZN beyond facing our emotional depths.
What Lies on the Other Side?
On the other side of emotional acknowledgement is a reclamation of our intuition. That voice that has been asking you to nourish yourself and listen to the needs of your body ALSO happens to be the voice that will gift you the most creative ideas, visions and possibilities for your life.
You see, expanding our intuition is not all about travelling to other magical dimensions and seeing our spirit guides physically manifest before our eyes. In fact, this level of intuition (in my opinion) is deeper and has more potential for shifting your reality on earth.
It is an embodied wisdom that presents to you intangible magic that you are capable of manifesting into tangible form.
So how do we access this delicious, expansive wisdom?
PLEASURE. NOURISHMENT. STIMULATING THE SENSES. MAKING THE BODY FEEL SAFE. CULTIVATING A DEEPER RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS INTUITIVE VOICE THROUGH ACTUALLY LISTENING TO IT WHEN IT SPEAKS TO US.
Will this voice, through the signals of our body, always feel "good" .... not necessarily.
Your body's aches and pains, that wrench in your stomach when someone has disrespected you, that little voice that says "I really need a self-care night-in" when your friend begs you to go out. This is your intuition.
If you truly wish to access the deepest depths of your creativity, feminine expression and spiritual insight -- it all begins here.
Where do I go from here?
I have recorded a guided meditation for you to drop into the Pisces energy of emotional wisdom, unveiling truths hidden in the subconscious and limitless visionary potential.
Let this be your first act of self love to nourish your mind, body + Spirit moving forward -- you are worthy of holding sacred space for yourself. Your nervous system will thank you xx
Blessings to you on this Pisces New Moon xx
