This March, we wrap up an eclipse cycle in the Leo/Aquarius axis, a period defined by power struggles between the people and their governments. The sun will enter Pisces on the 14th with a new moon shortly after, amplifying the lessons of Pisces and Virgo, where we learn how to detach while staying grounded in reality. Jupiter and Mercury end their retrogrades, allowing the flow of information and communication to resume, and we can finally start to assimilate the new truth that continues to be revealed.

Stop counting calories or going on strict diets! What if I told you that when you eat is more important than what you eat for weight loss? You can eat all the healthy food, but if you eat it at the wrong time of day, you won't get all the nutrients and benefits, and you may not be able to digest and distribute the fuel properly, leading to indigestion, heartburn, gas, and bloating. By changing when we eat and eating with the sun, we leverage our clock genes. For example, our digestion is the strongest at lunch, when we want to eat the biggest meal and the most protein. This is when our body needs the energy, can burn the fuel, and can process the most nutrients. In this video, I discuss how our clock genes work and why counting calories isn’t the solution, and why eating with the sun is. When do you eat the biggest meal of the day, or do you ever skip meals?

Mercury begins its infamous retrograde on February 27 in Aquarius, right in the center of the eclipse action, with the planets Mars, Rahu, and the sun. This will only add to the confusion and misunderstandings in an already chaotic situation. When the planet of communication is retrograde, information and ideas can become lost or mixed up. In Aquarius, we are working through the collective karmas and focused on bringing justice to all beings. Expect communication to become desperate, as the world scrambles to make sense of all the new information being revealed. In your personal life, you may feel like you are not being heard or understood. Take a step back and find ways to communicate calmly and effectively. With Mars and Rahu here, we can be reactive and impulsive with our words, and while Mercury retrogrades, we may lose focus on the end goal and get lost in drama. To find ways to align with this transit and learn more about how this will impact you, watch this video.

This solar eclipse may feel extra draining. Mars, Mercury, Venus, and the moon are all in conjunction with the sun and therefore combust. Be sure to take extra good care of yourself today. You may be feeling burnt out or on edge. Don't put too much importance on this; instead, focus on taking care of your own needs. The new moon is when we want to conserve our energy and stay in. It's a great time to meditate, journal, read, or do something you love. Make yourself your priority today! I'd love to hear how you are honoring this eclipse/new moon? I am working, but when I get home, I plan to take a bath, apply warm oil, and go to bed early with a book and my cat. 📖😻

The Dark Moon is upon us, and as the eclipse intensifies, we may notice our energy becoming more scattered or restless. During this time, it's especially important to prioritize self-care and make space for rest and rejuvenation. In this video, I explore how energy moves through the body from an Ayurvedic perspective and share ways to ground yourself and regain clarity. Which of the five vayues do you think is out of balance the most for you?
