Are you ready to reflect? 🌝
It's Charlotte here with a monthly sprinkle of cosmic inspiration and holistic tips from my corner of the world.
Since the eclipse in Scorpio last Friday I've been feeling like it's time to shed my old skin and begin again. In other words, I am SO ready for summer!
With my Solstice Moon retreat not far away (only ONE space left - woo hoo) and my Cosmically Conscious package opening up again at the solstice, this flower is ready to bloom...
But first, a cosmic energy check in... we are now coming out the other side of eclipse season, which can be a time of change, shifts and letting go to make room for something new. Combined with still being in Mercury Retrograde, this may feel like an interesting challenge for some of us, but with planet of love and harmony Venus entering the sign of Cancer recently, a soothing balm is within reach.
For my take on handling the aftermath of eclipse season, plus a question I'd love your feedback on, keep reading...
My top 5 tips for working with post eclipse energy
We've had a real rollercoaster of a lunar cycle this time - starting with an eclipse in Aries at new moon and then another eclipse at the full moon in Scorpio. Whilst eclipses are known for ringing the changes, it is often afterwards that we can really begin to appreciate what has shifted or is continuing to shift.
If you have found moments over the last three weeks quite intense, you are not alone. Eclipses act like turbo charged moon phases often providing us with new information that can shunt us back on our soul path. This may involve a sense of culmination, one door closing and another opening, or a transformation of some kind taking shape.
If any of this resonates with you, here are my top 5 tips for embracing whatever eclipse season has brought your way:
1. Pause - If this lunar cycle has brought some change to your world, in whatever form, make sure you acknowledge and honour the impact this has had to fully appreciate what has been illuminated.
2. Reflect - it can be easy to push important feelings that have come up to one side as we continue with our daily lives. Be kind to yourself. Give yourself time to breathe and feel the feelings.
3. Find the best way to ground yourself - what helps you to feel connected? If chaos has reigned recently, you may need to find something that helps you feel grounded, such as being around good friends, an awesome yoga session, or perhaps some quiet time to journal.
4. Stay open to new opportunities - eclipses can open up new portals and pathways. Keep your energy strong and your heart open to helpful change (especially as we come out of Mercury Retrograde on the 14th May!)
5. Remember - energy is always moving. No situation stays still. Just as the planets continue to orbit and night turns to day, our relationships and lives continue to ebb and flow. Allow yourself to trust in this natural rhythm and our place within it.
A Cosmic Question...
As you may have guessed, one of my passions is writing about astrology. Recently, I have been working on a seriously exciting project with good friend and artist extraordinaire Emma Catherine. Together, we are creating a magical book to help inspire you to work with all the different energies of the zodiac! We've got some way to go but here's a sneaky peek of some of the imagery for the book - I'm in love with it! Can you guess which astrological sign this image is for?
I do have a very important question for you dear subscriber. If you were to purchase a book of astrological inspiration, how important would it be for you to have space to journal in it? I'd love to hear your thoughts, you can reply directly to this email. Thank you!
