Goodbye Retrograde, Hello Full Moon

What a time for change and new beginnings! Summer is coming to an end. And for some of us, you might have found that this past month was a little more trying than usual. Maybe you found yourself doing a lot of reflecting and evaluating of your life than you probably typically do. Well, if you didn’t already know, Mercury was in Retrograde from August 12th to September 5th. I know what you’re thinking, “what’s it to me?” Well if you believe in the universe and its forces, then it’s everything to you. And if you don’t, it’s still relevant. But! Continue on reading if you wish to explore the fruition that may root from the mental madness.
 
During Mercury’s Retrograde, you may have made some important necessary connections for moving forward productively. Understanding the world around you on an internal and external level is necessary for change. Yes, change is required for growth. Unless we wish to stay stagnant and ignorant, we must push ourselves through times of discomfort and rise again each time we fall!
 
Carrying through, hopefully you’re learning a little more about yourself “and why some things must be unveiled so we may move forward unencumbered by old inhibitions” during this time (Robert Wilkinson). As we exited this retrograde in Virgo, we entered into September’s Full Moon in Pisces immediately after. And what a beautiful moon it was! This timing is essential to work out the knots and act on the now.
 
Some of you Pisces out there might be on high alert. Your energies may have amplified; Use the power of the universe to invest in your purpose and higher self. We should all utilize this Full Moon to release any negativity, trust our intuition and allow our creative flow to pave the way for success. With the solar eclipse’s recent passing two weeks prior and fall approaching in two weeks as well, the universe is asking us to explore our deepest desires and feel the feels while we learn to heal and manifest what lies within our hearts. Allow your soul searching to branch out and accept all to come with open arms!
 
Whatever you are currently feeling, wanting, needing, explore it!
Give your mind, body, and soul what it needs.

Be kind to yourself and others. Lend a helping hand to those in need while Mother Nature welcomes in destruction. Remember, with each tragedy something beautiful is given the opportunity to unfold. During these trying times, all communities should continue to come together to rebuild within renewal. We cannot control the weather, but we can choose to move with it and allow destruction to take its course so that we may begin again.
