Week Commencing March 2nd, 2020
This week sees the moon continuing to wax through the First Quarter and then Waxing Gibbous phases. This means we can harness the moon for momentum and focus to fulfil our plans and intentions, prior to the Virgo supermoon which we will experience early next week. The challenge this week will be keeping motivated as there are a number of astro-events that will not make this easy- instead we will be more likely to want to take it easy!
We start this week with the moon in sociable and mind-oriented Gemini, an air sign which is also ruled by Mercury which is still in retrograde until the 10th March. Mercury could still be stirring-up trouble this week- so be prepared- and in terms of our mind, we could find ourselves thinking in a dreamy Piscean way.
Having this kind of vibe while we are in the First-Quarter moon phase, which can make us feel impatient if the plans we have are not moving quickly enough, and really requires us to focus on what we need to do to get things done. We can use the very thinking and analytical energy of Gemini to look logically at what is happening to us and then harness the effervescent energy to make our intentions and plans a reality.
The combination of the Gemini in First Quarter moon and Mercury retrograde in Pisces has the potential to really make us over-think, or to get carried away with new spiritual insights that come our way. Definitely get out your journal and be ready to note down any new learnings, observations, ideas or thought-patterns- these intuitive hits could prove to be valuable truths to reflect back on later.
Gemini is known as the wordsmith, so putting pen to paper should come easily. If you have been wanting to learn something new, if you have to do research, or you need to write some blog posts, now is a great time to do this.
It will also be easy to spend time in social situations for the first part of this week while the moon is in this upbeat and sociable sign. Tap into your relationships self-care pillar and get in touch with your siblings or bestie for a laugh and a giggle.
Mid-week the moon will move into the sign of Cancer, which will bring a more nurturing energy. With the moon in this emotional sign which focuses on family, stability and security, we might feel the need to spend time at home where we can feel safe and secure. Keep chipping away at those intentions and projects- it might help to be creative in doing so.
We can’t forget to be kind to ourselves and what better time than when the moon is in its ruling sign of Cancer to practice self-love and self-worth. Flip any negative self-talk you catch yourself using mid-week and use the Cancer moon to boost your emotional intelligence.
By the end of the week the moon will be in its Waxing Gibbous phase and will move into the sign of playful Leo. Leo helps us to tap into childlike nature. Do things that help you to embrace your inner child- dance, play, see the magic that surrounds you and get creative. Work on any of your passion projects and the things that set your soul of fire as a way to stay focused on your work and projects and keep motivated to complete everything before the full moon.
This week we will also see Venus moving into earthy Taurus, so be patient and stay gentle in your approach and go easy on yourself this week- try not to push and hustle, and instead go with the flow and harness the sensuous vibrations that this week brings.
