Hello loves! I wanted to offer a bit of eclipse medicine for this next portal happening today.
Traditionally, eclipses are like wild cards in astrology and it is not recommended to practice ritual, spells or manifestations, but rather to ground and let the energy pass, I generally follow my intuition, as there have been eclipses where I have made herbal medicines or done big launches.
This eclipse seems to be felt a lot in the body for me and many others I've observed, so I’m taking time for movement, lots of herbal teas and vitamin supplements and relaxing walks and yoga because my hips have been super tight!
For this week I pulled the 3 of Pentacles + Reflection, and in many ways, the themes of this eclipse will be rolling out over the next 6 months until Taurus season in April. So here are a few journal questions/ tarot spread prompts - if you have time this week, it might be nice to sit down, have some tea, light a candle and see what comes through for you.
Taurus is a fixed earth sign, ruled by Venus - it is a stabilizing energy that relates to our material security. It rules our need to be resourceful, productive and stable.
The tarot card that is associated with Taurus is The Hierophant - this is a teacher, a mentor, or guru that passes on wisdom traditions. When I pull this card in a reading it is often a sign that we are to learn new skills and find a teacher, course or wisdom tradition. It can also be a call for us to step into the position of teacher and mentor and help others. Alternatively (and in line with eclipse season), I see The Hierophant as an opportunity to unlearn old traditions and restructure our thinking. It can be a card of rebellion and innovation when we buck the system and do things our own way.
Questions for reflection:
How can I embody The Hierophant? What teachings, wisdom, stories do I have to share?
What gurus can I take off their pedestal?
What structures in my life no longer feel stable or serve a higher purpose?
What I am building? What foundations do I need to put in place?
5 daily practices that make me feel good are:
In the next 6 months, I commit to ___________. I will achieve this by doing the following habits:
What habits, thoughts or patterns stand in my way? How can I let go / redirect my energy?
Wishing you all stability and productive eclipse energy! And don’t forget, Venus loves a little luxury - so eat a beautiful meal, take a special bath or make a delicious dessert because you deserve it!
