This week’s energy will be mixed bag, but in a subdued way.
We will feel small bursts of outrage and chaos at the week’s beginning and end—but it’s all tampered by the sluggishness of Mercury’s recent retrograde. Among the chaos, Venus changes sign to the inventive Aquarius!
Minor Cosmic Kerfuffles:
We may wonder WHY we feel the way we do, when we can’t quite point a finger to the situation or relationships to blame for our anxiety or anger. That’s ok. That’s when we get to be self-soothing grown ups.
I don’t want to feed into your “story” by giving you more details to calcify into your reality. Suffice it to say that the days surrounding Monday (2/1) and next Saturday (2/6) might bring up a surprising display of emotions in yourself of others.
Know that these emotions will pass. And if you’re feeling off balance and want to fix them NOW, there are tools you can use.
AstroOils® Emotional Balance Protocols:
Use 💧 Tea Tree around your belly button area to release energetic hooks.
Drop 1 💧 each of Lemongrass + Cardamom essential oils* into the palms of your hand and mix together. Then run your hands through your hair, getting the oils on your scalp.
Use 💧 Balance on the soles of your feet. Then inhale a couple 💧 from your hands for a few deep breaths.
Venus enters Aquarius on 2/1:
Relationship and abundance planet Venus enters the revolutionary sign of Aquarius on Monday, to stay until February 25th. Venus connects us and brings us sensual pleasure and lavish abundance. Aquarius is mentally genius, independent, and emotionally detached.
Put these two together, and what you may see is a lot of questioning assumptions you’ve had about relationships, pleasure, and money. Why do you do them the way you do? Did you proactively CHOOSE that, or was it merely a belief that you (or an ancestor) had about money and intimacy…that you’ve been blindly carrying?
When you realize that some of your basic assumptions about the way you interact and show affection with others are really things within your power—and that you can CHANGE them if you desired—you’ll likely feel more freedom and spaciousness, which it what Aquarius tries to bring out in us.
The one caveat of this influence—especially since Mercury is ALSO in Aquarius and RETROGRADE right now—is that you really might say some insensitive things you can’t take back. I get it: you really FELT it in the moment, it SEEMED logical, or maybe you felt your mental space contracting, so you did what you needed to do to not feel smothered for one second longer.
Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to stay connected to your HEART, not just your brain. Wait before saying something out loud or sending that email (or tweeting or commenting, etc). Just wait a few minutes. Get in touch with your HEART, with your compassion, and then see if your words would help you truly CONNECT—or merely preserve your independence by cutting off the connection and intimacy.
