If you feel like the Universe has been coming at you, technology has been against you, your exes have been running back and something has just changed, you're not alone. The Universe has been hardcore resetting and every one has been feeling its wrath.
Over the past 6 weeks, we've been navigating through Mercury Retrograde, Venus Retrograde, a Solar Eclipse in Aries and a Lunar Eclipse in Libra. That's 4 different cosmic events shaking up communication, relationships, sense of self and your spirituality.
From March 1st to April 12th,
We were going through the first Venus Retrograde of this year. It started in Fiery Aries and ended in Calm Pisces. At the start of the retrograde, you may have found yourself getting into more arguments than usual with loved ones, wanting to switch up your appearance and feeling unsure of yourself. Many of the themes included who we give our love to, whether we feel seen and valued, the type of love we want to receive and how we treat ourselves.
How to close off this cycle:
Meditate on your relationships and re-evaluate if you are truly happy in them. Are they bringing you fulfilment and joy? Does this add value to your desired life? If you answered no to any of these questions, then do what you need to do to make the answer a yes. You can also do a self-love ritual by burning our Pink Candles to pull your power back to you, making it easier for you to manifest in the future.
From March 14th to April 7th,
We were going through the first Mercury Retrograde of this year. Our communication, technology and relationships were being messed up and scrambled. During the retrograde, it was common to have misunderstandings, exes returning and intense realisations about what you truly want out of your work and love life.
How to close off this cycle:
Smudge yourself and your areas with Sage and Palo Santo. Back up all your important data and reread old texts and delete anything that isn't necessary. Mercury Retrograde teaches us to pause and reflect so if you didn't do that in the past month, take some time now to do so.
On March 29th,
The Solar Eclipse in Aries pushed us into a new timeline of courage, making bold choices and releasing what no longer serves us and our higher self. Eclipses are known to force doors to close abruptly and pushing you through new ones whether or not you want to. It forces you to grow and flourish into a new person.
How to close off this cycle:
Eclipses are not about manifesting, they're about surrendering to the Universe, letting go, grounding yourself and trusting divine redirection. Meditate on any feelings you may be feeling and journal them down. Think about all your worries and let the Universe take them away.
On April 13th,
The Lunar Eclipse in Libra brought everything from the past 6 months full circle. Libra rules over partnerships, harmony and beauty (which happens to be the theme of the past 1.5 months if you realise). However, eclipse can stir up the imbalances in these areas too.
How to close off this cycle:
Meditate on these question: Have you been giving too much of yourself in relationships? Are you under-receiving? Have you been ignoring your own needs? Journal down your answers (especially if any of your answers were a yes) and work toward aligning these answers with your higher self and dream life. Work toward cutting any energetic cords, releasing co-dependency and reclaiming your personal power in relationships.
So what now?
You're probably feeling exhausted (mentally, physically and spiritually) and that's fine. The Universe just put your soul and yourself through the ringer so take the time to:
- Ground Yourself
- Reflect
- Rest
You're a better, stronger, smarter and evolved version of the person you were 6 weeks ago <3
