Whew! Girl, how ya feeling? This Mars Retrograde is no joke. The air feels thick but the veil is ultra thin. There's resistance in making plans and frustration from lack of energy. Clarity seems non-existent and we're asked to be patient and find bliss in slowing down but, man oh man, it's so much easier said than done.

This week, there's SO much happening astrologically all at the same time. It's hard to pin-point exactly why you're feeling the way you do. Remember, Mars is not the only planet retrograde right now, just the most prevalent. However, today (9/28), Saturn turned direct after being retrograde since May 11th. This is huge! We're finally moving on.


It's closing a karmic cycle that started back in December 2017 and it wants us to reflect on the lessons we learned since then and take radical responsibility for where we are now. Saturn is the father of the Zodiac and loves to create boundaries with what's no longer in alignment with your destiny. This feels like tough love sometimes but it's for your greatest good to mature & grow. Trust the process.

Saturn also represents the government, law, career, finances, structure, and discipline. So, things will be moving along quicker in these areas if we choose to take it as seriously as it is. This is right in time for one of the most historic, important elections of our lives. So, be mindful that we're just getting started when it comes to the work that's yet to be done and the lessons that we're meant to learn.


On top of that, on September 29th, Saturn squares (not in agreement with) Mars retrograde. Mars is about being fearless and impulsive when taking action, while Saturn is about discipline and taking responsibility for our actions. This will naturally cause tension in the way you choose to move forward. Be intentional with everything that you do and make sure it is toward long term goals and not just for temporary gain.

It's also no surprise that this lands on the same day as the first presidential debate. Power struggles and heated arguments about the status and liberties of our country is the highlight of Mars squaring Saturn.

And then, LOL, to put all the puzzle pieces together, we have a full moon in Aries activating both the Mars retrograde and Mars/Saturn square. Are ya catching up yet? Shadows are coming to the surface and Chiron, the wounded healer, is asking for us to shed love to the parts of us we're still healing. As a collective, we are getting through this together. Maybe everything is going well in your personal life but you're feeling the heaviness and anxiety from everyone else. It's important to protect and ground your energy. Remember that not everything you're releasing needs a "name" to it. It's just energy that's moving through you. Give yourself permission to feel it to heal it.



Last but not least, this week ends on October 4th, when Pluto stations direct after being retrograde since April 24th. Pluto is the planet of deep transformation, death, rebirth, power, and control. During retrograde, you may have learned lessons about unhealthy attachments, addictions, and patterns of manipulation in your life. Reflect on all that has shifted in the past 5 months regarding what had to crumble and fall for you to rise again stronger than ever before. This transit will illuminate deeper understandings of what needs to shift and change in order to rebuild our foundation for our new world.


As always, these transits will affect everyone differently according to where these planets are within your personal charts. However, if you're looking for community during this time, I'd love to invite you to a Full Moon in Aries Women Circle on October 1st at 7:00 PM EST through Zoom.

This will be a safe space where we will:

  • Dive deeper into conversation, sharing about these transits and our personal lives

  • Do breath work to release anger

  • Movement medicine to shake off any fear lingering within our bodies

  • Pull Oracle cards for the collective

  • Set intentions to release what no longer serves us & what we're stepping into

It's only $20 to join and your ticket is an automatic entry into a raffle for a FREE reiki session! Click here to join


I hope to see you there, my loves.

Until then, stay grounded and I will check in with you soon.


Love always,

Danielle

Well, guys... we made it. Welcome to Mars Retrograde 2020.

I ain't gonna lie to you. We're in for a bumpy ride. The build up to this has been intense af. It feels like a ticking time bomb & the energy will continue heightening until November 13th. Although there's no escaping it, that doesn't mean we can't navigate it.

*edit* I never want to instill fear into my writing. Astrology shows us the patterns of the planets so that we can learn to work WITH them, not against them.

Who remembers the summer of 2018 (aka the summer that changed my life)? That was the last time Mars was retrograde. This cycle happens every 26 months and lasts about 80 days. But, this time, Mars is in it's home sign, Aries, and it's squaring it's friends, Saturn, Pluto + Jupiter in Capricorn. (hang on tight, I'll explain)

Mars is the masculine planet of war, action, aggression, willpower, sex, anger...and it rules Aries, the natural born leaders + passionate warriors of the Zodiac. Mars entered Aries in the beginning of June, fully embodying the activation within your Solar Plexus Chakra. Motivation at an all time high helped you plant new seeds, take massive action, and you likely felt productive as hell. But, now that it's officially entered it's retrograde period, it may feel like you drove head first into the wall. (or is that just me?)

Common themes for Mars RX are less momentum, more frustration. Less ambition, more interventions. Less patience, more impulsiveness. Let's not forget this is the 6th planet retrograde and these periods ARE meant to help us reflect, refocus, & regroup to realign us with where we're supposed to be. That's right baby, it's officially time to slooooow tf down. Introspection vibes. Scratch out the word "hustle"-it ain't working anymore. This will heal the masculine by inviting you to lean into the feminine. TRUST that the sooner you do, the sooner you'll RECEIVE all that you've ALREADY taken action on!

It's time to re-prioritize our mental health and secure a foundation of safety within. Use the down time to recharge your energy to re-calibrate the way you take action. Devote to a self care practice that helps you connect back to your physical body to feel grounded. Tune into your inner wisdom. Get out of your head and find your center. Can we please re-frame what it means to be productive? Slowing down and resting is productive. Taking a break is productive. Don't overexert yourself and drive yourself crazy. Instead of focusing on limitations and what you WISH you had, why don't we come back to good ol' gratitude for all the progress you've ALREADY made this year? I mean girl, if you survived 2020, you can survive anything. Am I RIGHT or am I right?!


Take a step back and see situations more objectively. Try not to attach so much meaning to it all. Conflicts, triggers, and frustrations are all beautiful mirrors for your ego to acknowledge and heal from. Try your best NOT to take everything personally. If everyone's on edge, then you know it's not just about you. There's so many layers to a problem. Try to see things from a 3rd party perspective. It's about how you choose to respond, rather than react. There's always a deeper lesson beneath the surface. Remember that.

But what about the square thingy you said? Oh...yeah...LOL


So, long story short, the 3 stooges: Saturn, Pluto, + Jupiter have all been fairly chillen and having meetings in Capricorn for all of 2020, which is essentially WHY the world feels like one gigantic "Tower" card from the Tarot.

Saturn represents responsibility, boundaries, limitations, and karma.

Pluto represents transformation, power, manipulation, obsession, and destruction.

Jupiter makes everything it touches BIGGER, hence the DRAMA...

Capricorn represents the patriarchy system, the government, politics, etc.


So, Mars will be SQUARING (not in agreement with) these 3 planets all within different times for the next few months. Oh yeah, and there will also be a Mercury Retrograde at the peak of all of this in the middle of October...but I will save that for later. It's no coincidence that all of this is happening during the election, which is exactly why the theme is "think before you act". The way we used to take action is no longer working and it's time to switch gears, my friends. What that means? I don't exactly know yet. I can cut the uncertainty in the air with a knife. But, we were born for this. It's nothing we can't handle. Replenish your reserves now, focus on your values, and let's do our best to come together, rather than dividing apart. Community is essential. Lift each other's spirits up and share your resources. Not everyone has the same growth mindset as you do. Check on your "strong" friends. Do something kind for someone. Reward yourself for the little things. Create memories with your loved ones this Fall and breathe in the new season.


Remember, after every "Tower" moment, there is "The Star"...

Just like the phoenix, we WILL rise from the ashes.

Believe in us.

We got this.

On September 2, 2020 at 1:22 AM EST (10:22 PM PST), there is a full moon in the dreamy, sensitive, mystic sign Pisces. (hey, that's me!)

lol and this seemed extremely appropriate?

Okay, now that we got that over with. Who else feels like the entire weight of the world is on your shoulders out of freaking nowhere?! Like hey, hi, how ya doing?! Just me?! I feel like this full moon has a lot of emotional dead weight that it wants us to lift off so that we can prepare for the second half of 2020. Yes, there's more coming. We're all aware of that. It's time to energetically create space & get ready. Since this is in my sign, I am personally using this as a complete restart button. A big old "let's try that again".


You see, Pisces tend to disconnect from themselves because they're a little lost in the cosmos, just like the floating alien head in that GIF. Ruled by Neptune, the planet of imagination, the dreamworld, and illusions. So, whenever there's heightened Pisces energy, you may notice your dreams on fleek, rose colored glasses are OFF & you're low key wanting them back (third eye chakra wide the fuck open), plus all of the darkest shadows come to light. Welcome to my world :)

Take your shoes off. Want some sleepy time tea? I'll light a candle. Stay awhile.

As confusing as things may seem, your intuition will amplify, which means you're receiving all of the signs. Have you been noticing them? They come through those repeating angel numbers, the warm and fuzzy feeling when you get a new idea, that "nudge" to slow things down & rest instead, the nervous feeling when something doesn't seem right. Mmmm yes, babe. Follow that. Your body tells you the correct answer. That gut feeling is always on purpose. No such thing as coincidences.


Do you remember what goals you set for the new moon in Pisces back on February 23rd? Remember, there are 30 day cycle manifestations and 6 months. Interestingly enough (but also not surprised at all), I read my intentions in my moon journal and it was literally everything I am feeling and integrating now. It was also my birthday post, written hours before heading to lunch with my soul sister and we channeled messages about how the year was going to look differently than we planned. We didn't understand the message at the time, but we knew it was big. And then 2 weeks later, we went into lock down for corona virus. So....yeah, something big's bound to happen.


Your true superpower for this full moon will be to detach any personal meaning to the emotional energy cleansing through your veins. It's just energy. Feel it to release it. Never forget the power of your breath, intention, and reclamation of self. You are your own healer.

Both Pisces and Virgo's are the great healers of the Zodiac. The Pisces moon and Virgo sun both share a mutable energy, which helps us "go with the flow" and transition into the new season effortlessly. Virgo's rule the physical and Pisces rule the spiritual... so coming back to your BODY after that long ass crying sesh is extremely important for you to feel grounded and WHOLE again. Nurture. Nourish. Movement. Breath.

My mantra for this moon is, "What would make my body feel really loved?"

Best ways to balance the Virgo and Pisces energy:

  1. Get the hell outside. Pisces rules water and Virgo rules the Earth. Dig your toes in the dirt, tune into the stream of the water, and breathe fresh air into your lungs. Pisces tend to want to escape and Virgo's tend to want to be hermits. So, come out of isolation and get lost in the woods for a couple hours instead.

  2. Set boundaries. Say "no, thank you". Release responsibility for others. Pisces has no form and Virgo's crave form, so just set the standard now for what you're energetically available for so that you don't burn yourself out and/or get stuck in some weird limbo of "what you WANT to do" vs. "what you SHOULD do". Take the word "should" out of your vocab while you're at it. That shit ain't cute. Just do you!

  3. Create a self healing calendar for September. Oh, yeah...Virgo's LOVE schedules. Carve out a time slot for the same time every day or at least once per week to try a new healing modality to release stress & anxiety. Reiki anyone? EFT tapping, breath work, sound bowls, essential oils, kundalini yoga, affirmations, journaling...Just a few of my favorite things. Release. Release. Release.

*side note* I am a reiki master, so if you are interested in a 90 min. chakra balancing session with a mini oracle card reading, self healing take home practices, + psychic channeled messages, holla at your girl! I got you, boo. Book a reiki session here


Uranus also has a huge impact on this full moon. This rebellious planet reminds us of the world's largest awakening we've experienced throughout 2020. We are continuously evolving, our consciousness has been ascending at rapid speeds and everyone's "waking the fuck up". Your energy is everything right now. (as it always is) but seriously, take good care of it. Prioritize your values. You're connected to an important part of history. You're totally here on purpose. This was always the plan. It's already written. How will you be apart of this story?

Trust yourself. Trust the process. Drop in, often. Connect back to yourself. Shed. Cry. Scream. Dance. Masturbate. Meditate. Manifest. Believe in magic. Believe in miracles.


I love you so much.

Happy full moon, sister!
