Hello dear First name / one,
 

How are you? How is your heart?

In the lunar calendar of Traditional Chinese Medicine, we are in the beginning of Spring (she typed as she watched the snow coming down outside her window…). But I can feel it, that deep vibrational generating energy of something new just below the surface.

This Aquarius season is really taking all of us for some kind of ride, and this moon is no different. I am seeing it in sessions with clients, I’m seeing it in the messaging from others on social media. Many of us are in the messy process of unwinding ourselves from the yarns of outdated belief/business systems, relationships, and timelines. The focus is on who and what is authentic, in-line with our values, and will contribute to our progress moving forward. We are in a collective moment of disentanglement. For some of us, it may feel like we’re making the knots worse before they get better, and that’s okay too. Mercury retrograde will always bring things back around that we may not have paid proper attention to the first time.

Today’s new moon in Aquarius wants to show us the revolutionary power of our emotions. We want more autonomy, more emotional sovereignty, and we are less willing to invest our emotional energy where it is not appreciated or where we do not sense authenticity. Aquarian energy thinks fast and expansively; it may take a minute for your emotions to catch up to your thoughts or you may realize your thoughts being more heavily influenced by your emotions.

During this time, it may also be easier to understand our feelings by processing them with others that do appreciate us. There’s a yummy conjunction between Venus and Jupiter that happened earlier today that is drawing us toward our friendships and partners, even maybe throwing a bit of romantic luck in there. When we get more choosy about who we emotionally invest in (self, first obvi!), the return is that much greater.

Aquarius rules the lower legs; the shins, calves, ankles and most specifically the Achilles tendon. You can find some suggestions for the body below, but this can also be a great time to examine your metaphorical Achilles heel. Where are your weaknesses? The things you may be intimately aware of, and yet still haven’t fully addressed. Can you treat them with a little compassion during this time?

In Human Design terms, the sun is in Gate 49 line 5 today. This is the gate of rejection, the energy of judging what or who is correct for the community, and standing up against what is not. Hexagram 49 is Renewal/Revolution/Ending Fate, “renewal has to do with the way the Cosmos transforms things constantly from within” (Carol K. Anthony and Hanna Moog). When we think about the moon crossing through this gate, we can see how a redirection of emotional energy, away from what is not correct for us or our community, can lead to new and more supportive beginnings. Another springtime of our human experience.

If you're questioning where you should be directing your energy, or how to use it more efficiently, a Human Design Counsel session will apply your design directly to a current issue or conflict in your life to get you back on track. 

I'm always happy to connect, and I hope that this resonated with you. If it did and you want to share the Moonsletter with others, feel free to pass it along! And if you're reading this and you haven't signed up, join here!
