As above, so it is below

So, a lot is happening above (as in the solar system), and lots are occurring below (on Earth).

Quick summary: we are entering retrograde season!

Also coming up (tonight March 24-25!) is a full moon lunar eclipse. Then a solar eclipse on April 8th with even a “devil” comet passing through!

Personally, I found a massive energy shift around the beginning of the month, and then it came to a head precisely on March 19th (yes, I noted the date because the change within me was that profound). Oddly enough, the retrograde shadow period begins from March 19 to 31.

I’ve noticed that things that I settled within myself are bubbling to the surface. Emotions are vibrant and humming. Even old injuries related to stress (from last year) are finding their home in my body again.

This makes sense because when I researched everything from an astrological perspective, I found retrogrades and lunar and solar eclipses coming up within the next few weeks! The energy is distinct, powerful, and potent. There is an underlying tension of chaos—or instead, an undercurrent of swift tides—that one wrong footing could pull me under.

Atmospherically, this shift feels weird because 2024 was action-filled but ” easy ” until March came around. Events unfolded without me putting much effort into them.

The year started solidly for me. I had a clear direction for my goals and was busy with multiple work projects. My focus primarily was to hone in on my career skillsets. It felt like the universe was leading me to a period of massive growth within my 9th/10th house – most of my planets reside in the sign of Capricorn, which is also on my midheaven.

All my emotions and spiritual energy went toward organizing, structuring, and building institutions, corporations, and companies. My days were consumed with flow charts and org charts, not for myself but for external entities. It was a lot to juggle; the pressure was high, but I felt like I was doing what I was good at, so it was all good!

Now, the work is slowing down because it is in the implementation and execution phase. My time has freed up, so my mind and intellect feel hungry again.

I feel my creative hunger rumbling in the pit of my psyche. I feel bored but also weirdly lethargic. I also want to create something for myself again. Maybe I will revisit old artistic projects and bring them to completion. It is not like I want to make something new but refine the old and bring it to the forefront.  How do I move forward without causing disruption and sabotaging all I’ve built in the last two months?

More on this in Part 2!
