Equinox/New Moon

Friday, March 20th, brings in the Spring equinox. A manifesting new moon occurs on the 26th @12:06 pm EST at 07° Aries. Our new beginnings can begin to open more fully as we focus only on what we want and need. A new moon is the best time for keeping in focus our hopes, wishes and dreams. Since Aries rules all beginnings, we can have the energy to move forward. In traditional astrology, Aries is ruled by Mars, giving the energy of aggressive pushing and forcefulness. This can cause conflicting frequencies when we are consciously working with a new moon of setting intentions, transcending limitations, and allowing our manifestations to appear in an easy energy of flow.

Getting out of our own way, or “Allowing”

Many of us have had the experience of getting out of our own way in some form or another. In the past, or perhaps in the present, this has occurred because we have been forced to do it. Never being our first choice, we end up “allowing” when nothing else seems to be working. Our manipulations, denials, and self deceptions from fear caused us grief, chaos, struggle, etc. and finally we just give up. Sometimes this is actually called “giving up”. Many spiritual doctrines talk about surrender and the idea of giving up control in order to progress.

Surrender, or Getting Out of the Way

What does surrender mean when you are consciously working on creating a new beginning, a new paradigm, a vision? Using the new moon for meditating on what you want and need is an excellent focus, however we then must let go and let the process work. Much like planting seeds in a garden you do not dig the seeds up to see if they have sprouted. Surrender means to let go and let the order you have put out to the universe come back in to you. Constantly checking in, intense focusing (also called worry), will not make things happen faster. In fact it will slow it down. Some people, in their impatience, try to force a new beginning and justify their aggressive behavior by saying that they were “led” to push it through. Honesty with self is critical as movement forward can at times feel frustrating, but in order to stay in the flow and work with new vibrations and frequencies one must remain extremely honest with self and with motivations. Staying in authenticity is crucial. If you are being led to manipulate or be aggressive then you must question who or what is leading you.

Observing the old paradigm dissolving you can see where mistakes are being made by trying to hold on. Government bail outs will not work and some companies just can not be saved, and in reality should not be. It is time for the new with new energy! It is important to be aware, but too much focus on the negative just maintains that paradigm. Quantum physics shows us that there are many outcomes to every situation and it is your focus that locks you into the reality you will experience. Do not let your negative expectations, your fears, and insecurities dictate your outcomes. There is a collective fear of the masses that can be overwhelming to those of us who are sensitive. This requires us to be in a balanced condition of allowing, and especially getting out of our own way. Sometimes it feels as if we have to isolate. In my time here this has been a reality for me from the very beginning of my life because of my sensitivities and universal awareness. As a child I spent all the time that I could out in nature, this was to balance out the energies of walking in many worlds especially the 3D one. My friends were the trees, rocks and water. That is who I listened to and who listened to me. To this day I can go anywhere and ask the land to tell me what happened there and what is currently going on. At this time I spend most of my time in my created sacred space, and balance that out with family and a few select friends. My work as a counselor requires me to maintain balance so that others can accept healing. Again, healing is about allowing. Outlets for me are creating art work by painting, enjoying the growth of a new puppy, and spending time outdoors. Keeping my group of people close and small keeps me in a more balanced place.

Working and participating in groups does not work for me and has not for a long time. Because of my particular energetic make up I tend to be the person in the group who processes everyone else’s releasing through my Plutonian personal planets. I learned the hard way that this ability needs to be utilized on a private basis. Thus I have a varied and extended private clientele and when I engage in teaching it is with a very small group. I have to honor myself, my skills, abilities and space to balance out others projections.

What works for you?

Trusting is going to be a challenge as we move through these changing energies. Examine what your own trust issues are and look at how you can let go of old wounds that prevent you from trusting. Have faith that what you need, when you need it, will arrive in the exact time that you need it. This transition is a challenge for many and staying out of others creations will lessen your anxiety. Check your motives when you feel the urge to involve yourself energetically in anothers' creations. Align with those who are a match vibrationally and things will flow easier. Waiting requires patience, trust and faith that the connections are there and will arrive in time and space when needed.

Our old ways of being, assisting in bringing up the lower vibrating energies and holding the field, sometimes to our own detriment, working to help others going through this tumultuous shift, are now over. In present time we must learn to stay away, to bow out, to observe, and to wait for those who are ready to come to us, to ask for help with guidance.

Be creative as you get out of your own way, distract from negative focus by being in joy. What makes you laugh, where do you have fun? Create, let go, manifest!
