You can’t rush greatness, slow down, reawaken to the new you! Sun in Aries, Full Moon in Libra

BY GARCIA AKUA

Happy New Year Beautiful Beings!  Spring has officially sprung! We have started a brand new cosmic year. Although we have had a hard year in some cases, this is much reason to celebrate, simply we’re alive.

Light has returned. The days are now brighter and longer. This is a season of renewal and intention setting. As the Sun entered Aries, we are now in the fire element of initiating new things. Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac. It represents our drive, ambitions, desires and actions. The combination of the beginning of Spring and this fire can make us ready to go.

However, we must give ourselves the opportunity to renew our energy.

We have just been in the winter season for the last three months. Winter is likened to hibernating, a deep sleep. As Spring comes along we need to give ourselves a moment to stretch and wipe the sleep of winter from our eyes. Then once renewed and revived we can start to plan our intentions. Listen to your body and restfully awaken. There’s no rush. We are dealing with fire energy on barren land. Here in Toronto, it isn’t green yet outside. The trees are just beginning to bud. The grass is still brown and patchy. If we rush the fire energy, we’ll burn out or burn the place down. Just as nature unfolds in divine timing, we do too, we just have to slow down to realize.

On Sunday March 28^th, we will have our first Full Moon of our cosmic year.  Full Moons always take place in the opposite sign of where the Sun is located. In this case the Sun is in Aries, we will be having our Full Moon in Libra.  Aries is the sign of self, Libra is the sign of partnership and relationships. This Full Moon welcomes us to explore our relationship first with ourselves and then how we connect to others.

With the Sun in Aries, we also have Venus (our heart) and Chiron (our wound).  The Sun will be shining or giving life to the issues in heart including our wounds and trauma. The Full Moon will be illuminating our relationships. Libra is the sign of balance, harmony and justice. Where do you need more balance in your relationships?  Are you overextending yourself?  Are your relationships based on mutual respect and reciprocity?  Are your actions in harmony with your heart’s desire?  These are some questions we ask ourselves before we start to plant our new goals for the season.  If we are out of balance you will plant imbalance. If our actions are not aligned with our heart, we will plant resentment. If we are leading with clarity our intentions will bring us justice.

Although nothing much has changed since March 2020 in the world around us. Much has changed within us. It’s time to realign. We now have a better understanding of ourselves and whom and who we wish to utilize our energy. Your energy is important, protect it. Take your time to reawaken to your reality. You have the ability to create your reality. The work is not always easy, but it’s worth it. So why rush it?

It is said it takes twenty-one days to create a new habit.  How many twenty-one day cycles have we already lived?  If we want to change our lives, we have to change our lives and that will take time.

As the weather gets better, get outside and spend some time in nature. Look at how the trees and flowers take their time to bloom. Breathe in the fresh air, take off your shoes and get grounded. Feel the rhythm of Mama earth. Align yourself.

You can’t rush greatness, slow down, reawaken to the new you.
