<hr><p><span class="font_large"><strong>In my personal experience, routines with intention behind them are THE most impactful way to shape my reality.</strong></span></p>
<p>When I DON'T have a routine, I feel out of whack + directionless.</p>
<p>Some of you may ask, "But what about going with the flow? Do routines exist in the flow state?" To which I will answer, "Yes."</p>
<p><span class="font_large">The result is setting aside, with intention, the time to be in the flow state. You don't need to have a prescribed routine, you just need to have the discipline to show up and execute flow. </span></p>
<p><strong>So why am I talking about this?</strong></p>
<hr><p>We are entering a new season, the Spring Equinox, and we have the opportunity to wipe the slate clean + start anew when it comes to our daily lives. </p>
<p>You will always hear me say it. <strong>I LOVE AN ENERGETIC CLEAN SLATE!</strong> I can mold + direct the energy wherever I want it to go. True magic. </p>
<p>So! I decided to share with you, straight from my wall to your screen, my personal morning routine that I made for myself.</p>
<p><strong>FULL DISCLAIMER:</strong> I was NOT adhering to this schedule, or any schedule really, during the Winter. And that's okay! The winter calls us to show up for ourselves differently than it does in the Spring.</p>
<p>But... it IS Spring now. So we are changing gears. As Nature around us starts to bloom + come alive, so do we. We are coming out from hibernation to play. We are feeling the suns on our faces; the warmth is returning. </p>
<p><span class="font_large">So let's get excited!<br>Let's welcome this new season in our lives with an open heart. </span></p>
<hr><p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>Here's my fool-proof, divinely inspired + guided, personal morning routine. When I check all these boxes to start my day... I levitate. Real shit. Enjoy.</strong></em></p>

<hr><p>Hello, All!</p>
<p>It's been a minute, but I am happy to be back sharing space and energy work with yall on this fine Full Moon in Virgo! ✨ </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/605211/967b4e695d8b12a0fdc9efa559996a7ea375b51b/original/adobestock-250800004.jpeg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><strong>WHEW, okay. Deep breaths. </strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">So there's a lot going on here energetically. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I am no astrologer by any means so I will not try to speak on the science behind this, but it is my understanding that the majority of planets are occupied by Aquarius + Pisces right now... leaving us in this post-apocalyptic, dark, dreamscape-like reality. Almost an out of body experience. Maybe even dissociation. </span></p>
<p>Regardless, if you're feeling that fog, that's what is causing it. </p>
<hr><p><span class="font_large">In addition to the already potent Full Moon energy, we are winding down in Pisces Season (the last sign of the astrological year), and approaching the Spring Equinox (the "new" year, new season)- so there exists an extreme polarity of endings + beginnings. <br><em><strong>*Please be advised that anything that is "ending" in your life is already becoming something new... you need not worry. Have faith.</strong></em> </span></p>
<p><strong>This same energy is reflected back at us in Nature. </strong></p>
<p>Take a look around you.</p>
<p>Notice when the Sun is out how there is "Soular" energy fueling everything around us.</p>
<p>The world as we knew it, dead and resting in Winter, is now becoming full + alive again.</p>
<hr><p><strong><span class="font_xl">❤️🔥 THIS FULL MOON IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY REBIRTH </span></strong><span class="font_xl">❤️🔥</span></p>
<hr><p>The Full Moon in Virgo asks you to <strong>release judgement</strong>- there's no need to be this harsh or serious, especially as our spirits become awakened by the flames of Aries Season (3/21).</p>
<p>Be kind to yourself. We are rapidly releasing + shedding our Winter layers during this phase. It can feel dark at the moment, but the Full Moon will shed some much needed light to our worlds, so make sure to get out and witness its illumination. You will be surprised what it shines a light on!</p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Money issues/financial insecurities may be cropping up.</strong></span></p>
<p>Don't let it trigger you. This will only cause more of a block. Abundance is a flow, so open your arms and let it come and go. Best way to receive is to be open. </p>
<hr><p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font_xl"><strong>RITUAL IDEAS ✨</strong> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font_large">💕 Do a grounding meditation<br>💕 Make a list of all the negative self-talk or bad vibes in your head, sit with it with your eyes closed, make a conscious effort to visualize yourself releasing the dead weight, and then burn that shit 🔥 <br>💕 Charge your crystals/make moon water under the Full Moon light<br>💕 Moon gaze + reflect<br>💕 Get in your body! </span></p>

<hr><p>Happy New Moon in Aquarius, my loves.</p>
<p>I am hoping this finds you well and on a much lighter note than we have been experiencing collectively.</p>
<p><span class="font_regular"><em>As we emerge from the dark cave that was largely influenced by <a contents="Venus Retrograde" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://thetrickibrand.com/blog/blog/breaking-codependency-venus-rx" target="_blank">Venus Retrograde</a>, we will bring some much needed <strong>clarity</strong> with us into this next moon phase.</em></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This New Moon offers <em><strong>forward moving energy</strong></em>, especially since Venus went direct on 1/29, neutralizing disturbances with relationships, love + money, and Mercury will follow suit as it goes direct on 2/3.</span></p>
<hr><p><span class="font_regular"><em><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/605211/0b147afd7069f06efe7fa95a3cda4b1d1c7d142a/original/adobestock-326303525.jpeg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></em></span><br>Aquarius is the "Water Bearer" of the zodiac and is frequently mistaken as a Water sign, but it is actually an Air sign.</p>
<h3><strong>Aquarian energy is being the vessel that holds the Collective's grief (Water), and then transforming it by breathing new life and ideas into it (Air).</strong></h3>
<p>When the moon appears dark in this sign, you can expect to be flooded with creative ideas. Now is the time to transform all of your pain into beautiful works of art- regardless of your medium.</p>
<p>Take inspired action to embody your full self-expression when you feel it bubbling at the surface. Let it wash over you. Step into that title or role and claim it. <strong>SAY IT OUT LOUD!</strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><em>On the other hand</em>, some of you may want to fall back and observe the newfound clarity you have been shown. Pay attention to what's on your heart right now... what matters most to you? Do you need to rewrite or redefine any scripts in your life?</span></p>
<p>I always highly suggest journaling in GENERAL, but now is a great time to write down and sort through all your ideas, even if it's just to save them for a rainy day. </p>
<hr><h4>Air energy embodies thoughts + ideas- use this energy to your advantage and get some stuff out on paper... clear your mental cache. </h4>
<hr><p><span class="font_large">✨ <em>There is a lot of conflicting energy happening in the cosmos right now. This is a gentle reminder that not every ritual has to be a big ceremony. If you are feeling low energy but would still wish to honor a New Moon cycle, simply offer your breath or a prayer. Rest is an essential part of Winter, so be good to yourself. We are navigating a lot!</em></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><em>✨ My prayer for all of you is that you may honor your needs and fill your own vessel up before you attempt to fill others. May you deposit fresh ideas + perspectives into your spiritual banks. May we all honor this blank slate afforded by Mother Nature in the sky tonight. Thank you, thank you, thank you!</em></span></p>

<hr><p>Happy Full Moon in Cancer, my loves.</p>
<p>In keeping with this month's theme of <strong><em>getting in your body</em></strong> (<em>READ: <a contents="Venus RX" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://thetrickibrand.com/blog/blog/breaking-codependency-venus-rx" target="_blank">Venus RX</a>, <a contents="Mercury RX" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://thetrickibrand.com/blog/blog/mercury-retrograde-1-14-2-3" target="_blank">Mercury RX</a>)</em>, this Full Moon brings that same energy.</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/605211/3926eee9ba320ca555e77150eac68b198c86bc3b/original/adobestock-430972901.jpeg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<h4><span class="font_large">Cancer is the Crab of the Zodiac.</span></h4>
<p><span class="font_large">Encapsulated by a shell, a crab carries its home on its back. The shell symbolizes Protection + Privacy but more importantly it protects the crab itself.</span></p>
<p><em><strong><span class="font_large">We can embody Cancerian energy by tending to our homes, both the one that shelters us, and also the homes within our bodies. </span></strong></em></p>
<p>This looks different for each individual but I suggest going with the first thing that came to mind when you read what tending to your homes + body meant. </p>
<hr><p><span class="font_large">Focus on your "outer shell" as well because this represents how you protect your energy and enforce your boundaries. How are you spiritually protecting yourself daily? When is the last time you cleansed your space? In what ways are you consciously, and unconsciously, giving away your power? Who are you allowing to have access into your personal life knowingly or unknowingly? These are all things to consider when thinking about the protective outer shell of Cancer energy because Cancers are heavy on their privacy!</span></p>
<hr><h2><span class="font_large">WORKING WITH FULL MOON ENERGY:</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 22.4px;">❤️🔥 Work with the element of <strong><em>water</em></strong></span><br><span class="font_large">❤️🔥 Let your emotions flow<br>❤️🔥 Protection Magic<br>❤️🔥 Journal about what you want to release with the Full Moon<br>❤️🔥 Make Moon Water<br>❤️🔥 Charge your crystals with the Full Moon light<br>❤️🔥 Bath Ritual<br>❤️🔥 Do a "shielding" meditation<br>❤️🔥 Get comfy + cozy in your HOME<br>❤️🔥 Perform Energy Work on Yourself (<em>See below</em>)</span></p>
<hr><p><span class="font_large">On a heavier note, we can expect some serious emotional upheavals with this Full Moon.</span></p>
<p><em><strong>Be mindful as old wounds, triggers, thoughts + belief systems begin to surface. They may even feel volatile given the current Astro Climate.</strong></em></p>
<p><span class="font_regular">My only suggestion based off my current lived experience is witnessing them. Sometimes there is no escaping Grief when it decides to rear its head. It is begging you to be felt + released.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong><em>✨ HEAL YOURSELF:</em></strong><br>A helpful practice for me when grief shows up is to find a quiet place, even if only for 5 minutes. I begin by taking a few deep, cleansing breaths with my eyes closed and hands over my belly + heart. I imagine talking to my hurt as its own entity, which usually shows up as an inner child, and I ask what it needs to say. I let the emotion swirl inside me + fully feel what's happening. I wrap my arms around myself + whole heartedly lend myself compassion, love, + support. The kind of support I desperately seek others to give me. I forgive myself for trying to do the best I could. I self-soothe. I re-parent. </span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">This is how we heal ourselves. This is how we actively release stuck energy.</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_small"><strong>(If you are unsure how to do this or would like to bring a witness with you, set up an <a contents="Energy Healing Session" data-link-label="ENERGY HEALING" data-link-type="page" href="/energy-healing" target="_blank">Energy Healing Session</a> today, virtual or in-person.)</strong></span></p>
<hr><p><em><span class="font_regular">We are fully supported by Mother Nature herself with this Full Moon to FEEL + RELEASE the emotions that are showing up. </span></em></p>
<p><em><span class="font_regular">Cancer is ruled by the Moon and is no stranger to the tides changing + becoming violent. Some of us may be in rough waters. But the storm will pass. I promise 💕 <br><br>Be kind to yourselves as you navigate these stormy waters.</span></em></p>

<hr><h4><span class="font_large">It's that time of year again!</span></h4>
<p><em>Well, actually, it's the first Mercury Rx of the New Year... but you know what I mean.</em></p>
<p>This is by far the most popular Astro Event worldwide. </p>
<p>It's a time where the Collective freaks out together waiting for their exes to hit them up + stir the pot. </p>
<p><span class="font_large">It also gets a bum rep from all the nay-sayers + non-believers out there claiming it's just another excuse for people to blame their shitty behavior on. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_regular">But Mercury Retrograde is so much more than these accounts.</span></p>
<hr><p><em><span class="font_large">Mercury is the <strong>Messenger of the Gods</strong>. He rules over ALL communications, including any machine who's purpose it is to "communicate" or share information with other machines in any way. So plainly put, when this planet goes retrograde communication breakdowns are to be expected.</span></em></p>
<p><strong>I don't make the rules yall. </strong></p>
<p>If you're anything like my boyfriend you may be tempted to tease + say I'm jinxing it to actually happen... </p>
<p>AND I HEAR YOU!</p>
<p>BUT!!!!!!</p>
<h4>LEST WE FORGET THE GREAT IG + FB BLACKOUT OF OCTOBER 2021 THAT TOOK PLACE DURING, YOU GUESSED IT, MERCURY RETROGRADE!</h4>
<p>All I'm saying is it is a very real phenomenon + I would encourage you to brace yourself + be mindful about what's going on around you!</p>
<hr><p><span class="font_large">Retrogrades are a time for SLOWING DOWN, revision + reflection. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">They aren't meant to induce fear. </span></p>
<p><em><strong><span class="font_large">Here are some tips to protect your energy while Mercury enters this shadow period:</span></strong></em></p>
<p><span class="font_large">💖 Carry stones for communication, clarity, + grounding <br>💖 Back up important stuff onto an external hard drive <br>💖 Be mindful about making new contracts/agreements/dates during this period. Not suggesting you put off your life on hold, but decisions made during retrogrades carry an ability to be revisited later - aka the reason why exes hit you up during this time <br>💖 Choose to have serious conversations in-person to avoid miscommunications <br>💖 Don't rely on computers for anything absolute - have a back up plan or hard copy just in case <br>💖 No ... you shouldn't hit up your ex <br>💖 Listen to frequencies <br>💖 Prayer + Meditation <br>💖 Check in with yourself and body. (Book an <a contents="Energy Healing Session " data-link-label="ENERGY HEALING" data-link-type="page" href="/energy-healing" target="_blank">Energy Healing Session </a>with me!)</span></p>
<hr><h2>2022 MERCURY RETROGRADES:</h2>
<p><span class="font_large">❤️🔥 January 14 - February 3<br>❤️🔥 May 10 - June 2<br>❤️🔥 September 9 - October 2<br>❤️🔥 December 29 - January 18</span></p>
<hr><p><strong><span class="font_large">FINAL THOUGHTS:</span></strong></p>
<p>Because Mercury will be retrograding in the sign of Aquarius you can expect your values to be tested. </p>
<p>Matters involving Human Rights may surface.</p>
<p>Scheduling conflicts may occur. </p>
<p>Leave early- delays can happen. </p>
<p>Treat this retrograde like a surge of hormones: What you're experiencing IS real, however, your feelings + reaction towards them may be disproportionate. </p>
<p>Stay grounded + don't jump to conclusions. </p>
<p>YOU GOT THIS!</p>

<p><span class="font_large">To return to a space where we don’t unconsciously numb out on our phones. Where we share intimate moments with others often.

<p><span style="color:#1abc9c;"><span class="font_large"><em>The best way to manifest a new outlook is to be aligned with your desired outcome, and ritual will help you achieve that shift. </em></span></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Here are some ideas to inspire a ritual that feels true, magical, + genuine to YOU 💕 </span></p>
<hr><p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/605211/e45c13e07eee9428b518cc0276b9f2b3ad54cd29/original/ritual-ideas-for-new-years-1.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<h2><span style="color:#1abc9c;">KEY NOTES:</span></h2>
<p><span class="font_large">*I suggest picking resolutions based on <em><strong>BOTH</strong></em> self-improvement + <em><strong>also</strong></em> your connection to Source/Spirit/God. Don't do it all in vain or greed- that's very important! </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">*When manifesting something, focus on how you want to <strong>FEEL</strong> receiving those things (unless you are manifesting something <strong>VERY</strong> specific). Once you have the feeling, embody that in your every day life + share gratitude for having it.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">*Making noise at midnight is historically said to push out any lingering evil spirits or energy from the previous year. It's a HUGE collective purge across the entire world. Use that <strong>POWERFUL</strong> energy to your advantage with your intentions. You will immediately feel the newness in the air after the clock strikes midnight!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#1abc9c;"><span class="font_large"><em><strong>RESOLUTION</strong></em>: a firm decision to do or not do something. </span></span></p>

<p>I find this practice <em><strong>extremely helpful</strong></em> to catch a glimpse of the upcoming energy for the New Year. Of course we all have ~<strong>FREE WILL~</strong> but this can be used as insight. </p>
<p>At the end of each year I review what I wrote in reflection + meditation. I go back through each month + I am always <strong>AMAZED</strong> at the <em><strong>ACCURACY</strong></em> of my readings! </p>

<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/605211/255afe58f8f89527330448fc6c5d9f045b7a8837/original/full-moon-gemini.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" style="text-align: center;" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We have a Full Moon in the sign of Gemini during Sagittarius Season. </span></p>
<p><em><strong>What exactly does this mean?</strong></em></p>
<p>For starters, Gemini + Sagittarius are polar opposites on the zodiac wheel of the year, so we are experiencing a constant state of duality + polarity. You will notice major contrasting patterns occurring simultaneously. </p>
<h4>
<span class="font_large">This is BIG GEMINI ENERGY- 2 HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE!!!</span> </h4>
<p>Gemini are the twins of the zodiac and while they're frequently misunderstood for being two-faced, Gemini is a divine messenger between all planes of existence and the physical one we live in. </p>
<p><span class="font_large">THIS GEMINI FULL MOON IS ABOUT EXISTING IN DUALITY:</span> </p>
<p>there is a time for discipline + indulging yourself.<br>there is a purpose for both the light + dark.<br>there are major benefits from having a routine or ritual, but it is also powerful to create when you are aligned.<br>with every ending is a new beginning, and since this is the final full moon of the year, that theme is very fitting. </p>
<hr><h4>I invite you to join the cosmic dance of seeing both sides of the coin + trying to create a balance for yourself. </h4>
<hr><p><span class="font_large"><strong>BIG REFLECTION + EXPANSION ENERGY!!!</strong> ✨</span></p>
<p>If you're a journaler, or just introspective, think about this past year + what you can take away from your experience. Tap into your strength + resiliency. We made it through a fucking lot.</p>
<p><strong>💰<span class="font_large">MATTERS OF FINANCE ARE CROPPING UP UNIVERASALLY!</span>💰</strong><br><em>Remember that money is a constant energy flow. Tap into abundance + know the universe will always provide. Position yourself to receive all that is yours just from being your true, authentic self. </em></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><em><strong>MY BEST ADVICE FOR THIS MIXED BAG OF ENERGY- go with the flow</strong></em>. </span></p>
<p>We noticed a fire lit beneath us when we shifted into Sagittarius Season but with each day getting shorter, time feels like it's slowing down. Our bodies + bones yearn for rest, yet this Gemini Full Moon energy will once again propel us, like Sagittarius' arrow, into forward movement. <strong>Go. With. The. Flow.</strong></p>
<p>It can feel chaotic navigating these "2" voices of the twins inside of our heads. Trust me, as a Gemini, I fully understand 😂</p>
<p><span class="font_large"><em>Either use discernment, or lay low </em>💕</span></p>

<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/605211/100c36ce948a3b2dcabc7b0b6f35d5b2581c0742/original/a7a1f22a-cb9d-4757-81f6-509b94c54b9a.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>sagittarius energy encompasses a thirst for adventure + traveling. </p>
<p>because of this, they can develop a bit of <em><strong>wanderlust</strong></em>- a restlessness + unsettledness that drives them to keep searching for home or a destination, but never settling in one place for too long. </p>
<p>if you've been feeling heavy separation from your earth body + home, give yourself a big hug. you're not alone. </p>
<p><u><strong>so here's where we are at: </strong></u></p>
<p>a geographical change <em>COULD</em> be a game changer. it's statistically proven that people in your hometown don't show as much love as complete strangers (won't get into that, though 😂) so, SURE, you could move, find paradise, be amongst a new community + create a new identity for yourself. and you can have <strong>much success</strong> with it! </p>
<p><em>OR</em> perhaps traveling might be the "easier" option to scratch the "itch" that sagittarian energy brings. a quick change of scenery + seeing just how small you are in the grand scheme of things could TOTALLY change your perspective. </p>
<p>but there's an old saying that rings true: "<strong>home is where the heart is.</strong>" </p>
<p>traditionally speaking, i think that phrase is a metaphor to explain that no matter where you go or who you are with, home is where your family + foundation is. home has the most profound emotional impact + pull. a place filled with love + support... </p>
<p>but some of us don't have happy homes + supportive families. and then some of us have everything we could possibly want, and more, yet we are still unhappy. still searching. still unfulfilled. </p>
<p>so what i'm personally referring to when i suggest that "home is where the heart is..." i mean....... YOU. </p>
<p><em><strong>YOU are home</strong></em>. </p>
<p>YOU are the foundation of love + support your heart desires. at the end of the day, no matter how tough it gets, YOU have to be the one to find the will to go on. REGARDLESS of who is or isn't supporting you. regardless of if you are well received. </p>
<p>if you feel like an alien amongst your family + community... it's okay. good chances are that most people are frightened by your light + confidence in who you are. most people fear being different. they often project their own insecurities onto you + make YOU feel like there's something wrong with you. </p>
<p><strong>that's not the case</strong>. </p>
<p>you can search all you want for external validation or a better community, + like i said before, <em>you may find it</em>.</p>
<p><em><strong>but just because you are wandering doesn't mean you are lost. just because you are searching doesn't mean you lack. </strong></em></p>
<p><em>it may just be a calling to go deep within + reclaim your home in your body. </em></p>
<p><em>maybe you want to do some work on your root chakra to really FEEL those roots you possess + ground them into the earth. </em></p>
<p><em>maybe you want to set some new goals + aspirations for yourself. </em></p>
<p>the sagittarius archetype is also "<em>the archer</em>," as seen in the arrow that commonly symbolizes this sign. he wants something to <strong>AIM FOR</strong>.</p>
<p>sag is also ruled by the element of fire. <strong>REIGNITE YOUR FIRE + AIM HIGH</strong>!!! <em>the sky is the limit!</em> </p>
<h3>in conclusion, you don't need permission to burn bright, my loves. </h3>
<p><em>may this serve as a reminder that you need not look any further than inside your heart for the answers you are looking for. </em></p>
<p><em>may this bring you comfort in an unsure, confusing time where shit is RAPIDLY shifting + changing. </em></p>
<p><em>may you have clarity that there is nothing wrong with you. you are just being called to go deeper. to love yourself harder. to plant YOUR roots WHEREVER YOU ARE!!! </em></p>
<p><strong>THAT. is home.</strong> </p>
<p>be well 🖤✨</p>
