There is lots happening. Can you feel all the shifting energies? Over the last 30 days we have seen lots of prodding, shifting, and adjusting.
How’s your energy lately? If you’ve been feeling exhausted or having trouble sleeping, then you may be feeling the shift.
So how is what we are feeling and experiencing being driven by the cosmos?
Well the planets were very active in all this shifting we are experiencing with 5 planets that are in retrograde in April. Now, I am no astrology expert, and I would say that I am far from that and rely on my astrology friends to help explain certain aspects. I am an energy healer and lightworker. Therefore, I can sense and feel subtle energy. What I do understand is energy and how it makes me feel and what common threads I see playing out around me and my environment. I have learned to understand over the years how planetary shifts also affect us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Here is a great explanation about retrogrades on findyourfate.com. “Astrologically, Retrogrades happen when planets, and the energy they represent, are too far out and need to come back in line with the Earth. This is when you need to slow down.”
From what I have witnessed over the past year and most importantly in recent months, our energy cores have been pushed to extremes, prodded, and forced to examine our inner selves and workings while questioning our own versions of realities. Most of the re-calibrating and shifting was bringing up lots of old karmic, childhood, traumas, etc that were kept deep in our base of our energy cores to be released as they no longer serve our highest good. Many of those I work with or have spoken to on this topic have experienced this, but thought they addressed these issues and ignored the need for release. This is not the time to ignore, but a time to kick these toxic energies out of our core.
We thought the year 2014 was a grand year for purging and letting go for what no longer serves us, but 2015 was sure a doozy and some may have called 2015 a sh*tstorm of a year. However, there were many lessons in 2015 that helped prepare us for the grand year of transformation in 2016 towards soul-fillment.
What I have felt since Mars and Pluto went retrograde is a shift of the clearing of our energy cores to the higher realms especially targeting the areas of the pineal gland which is a small pea-sized endocrine gland located near the center of the brain behind the cerebellum.
Physiologically speaking, the pineal gland is responsible for producing the hormone melatonin aka your biological on/off light switch for sleep functioning as well as regulating the body’s natural bio-rythems.
Spiritually speaking, the pineal gland is linked to the third eye and considered the most powerful area for ethereal energy.
Symptoms of an “awakening” of the pineal gland include:
- pressure at the base of the brain
- headaches
- fatigue
- sleep disturbances
However, as some are already feeling the affects of the planet mercury going retrograde, we must also consider all elements of communication too starting to affect us.
At the end of it all, this is all about personal growth. It is all how we choose to perceive the world around us. Some react to these retrogrades in a negative fashion, but there are positive aspects to them too. Again, it is all how we choose to view these experiences which are designed to help us evolve. This is a wonderful time period to go inward and do some introspection work. This will allow us to connect with the divine within and shine our light so we may follow.
The themes currently playing out that you need to be extra mindful and pay extra attention to include:
- personal growth/expansion (Jupiter)
- communication (Mercury)
- love and relationships (Pluto)
- emotions, but especially in areas of anger (Mars)
- karma (Saturn)
- slow down
- the need for more self care
So, going into May, this is a GREAT time for many things such as:
- SLOW DOWN
- connecting with soul aka your inner child and building a partnership
- a time for slowing down and contemplation
- an opportunity to readjust, redo, reevaluate or fine tune things
- to develop a love affair with self – not ego self, but the authentic true self
- to relax and go with the ebbs and flows of the Universe
- more self-care, self-compassion and nurturing
- practice daily mindfulness via quantum breathing, meditation, reiki, yoga
- handwritten journaling
With light, love, and appreciation,
