Collective Message
From what I am seeing and hearing, both within and around me, there has been an arising of old patterns—patterns that once served a purpose, even if they were not nourishing. These patterns may have come with the intention to soothe, but now, there may be resistance in relation to them.
If these unconscious or un-nourishing patterns, thoughts, or experiences have returned over the last few months, know that they are returning bearing gifts. They are here to show you how far you’ve come.
As you hold space for these patterns, take a moment to appreciate the root of why they came into existence. You can unhook from them while still honoring their role in your journey. These experiences are part of your story, but with space and love, they no longer need to control you.
It may have felt like confusion, as if you were going backward, but now you get to rise, to celebrate these cycles. Trust that your past, your body, and your wounds are safe with you—they simply need a little extra love to fully integrate and be at peace.
First Quarter Moon: The First Learning Experiences
The first quarter moon often brings forward our first learning experiences within a cycle.
As we approach the waxing half moon on March 6th, we step into a powerful phase of reemergence and action, aligning with the energies of spring and the Maiden archetype. This time marks our return from the inner underworld, a return to the light following the deep introspection of the dark moon. We carry forward the wisdom gained, ready to integrate it into our lives for personal growth and the collective good.
The waxing moon, connected to the rising sun in the east and the air element, brings a breath of fresh energy. It calls for intentional reflection on our words and thoughts, encouraging us to cleanse our energy through prayer and ritual. This is the moment to send heartfelt messages into the universe, trusting in the process of manifestation.
Implementing Dark Moon Insights
This phase invites us to take the insights gained during the dark moon and apply them practically. Whether they were revelations about our inner world, relationships, or creative endeavors, now is the time to plant those seeds and nurture them. What actionable steps can you take this week to bring those realizations to life?
Joy and Lightness in the Air Element
The waxing moon, with its light, airy energy, encourages us to embrace activities that uplift and inspire us. Consider what brings you joy and helps you feel light. Here’s a list of my favorite activities during this phase:
Dancing in the breeze
Singing or chanting
Exploring new places
Cloud watching
Journaling my thoughts
Trying new tea blends
Filling my space with uplifting scents
Moon Meditation
Sidreal Astrology
Sidereal vs. Tropical Astrology
Sidereal astrology uses the real positions of the stars in the sky to create your chart. It differs from tropical astrology. Because the Earth’s position slowly shifts over time, sidereal astrology reflects where the stars actually are today, while tropical astrology keeps the zodiac signs fixed to the seasons. As a result, your zodiac sign might be different in sidereal astrology compared to tropical astrology.
Sun in Aquarius: Air Element
Sun in Aquarius: The Water Bearer
As the Sun moves through Aquarius, we are invited to view life through the lens of foresight—to see what can be changed, innovated, and challenged within the structures that shape our world.
Despite its air element, Aquarius is symbolized by The Water Bearer—a figure pouring out wisdom, insight, and progressive ideas for the collective good. This is the sign of the future, always looking ahead, always seeking what’s possible beyond the present moment.
The water is not emotion—it is knowledge, consciousness, and truth meant to nourish the world.
The glyph of Aquarius—two parallel zig-zagging lines—represents the flow of ideas and the waves of change that ripple through society.
Challenging Norms, Contributing to the Collective
This Aquarian season is not just about personal transformation—it is about collective impact.
How are we contributing to our community and the collective?
Where can we challenge outdated societal norms?
Aquarius does not conform; it questions, disrupts, and reinvents. This energy calls us to step outside the status quo, rethink old ways of living, and create new pathways for the future.
Seeing with Fresh Eyes | Breaking Old Patterns
If you've been noticing old patterns resurfacing—in relationships, projects, or decision-making—this is a time to step back and look from an outside perspective. Aquarius energy is detached from the ego and observant, offering us the ability to see beyond emotion and analyze situations objectively.
Ask yourself:
What is really going on beneath the surface?
What prevents new pathways and outcomes from unfolding?
Where am I repeating cycles that no longer serve my highest vision?
Evolving Relationships
As we evolve in our relationships, it may mean the end of old patterns within them or even moving away. But this shift comes with gentleness, as we see clearly. Aquarius encourages us to deepen into relationships that nourish and serve our vision, and to let go of what no longer aligns with our highest path.
Moon in Taurus: Earth Element
Imagine a bull. What energy comes through for you?
In many cultures, the bull represents strength, resilience, and grounded energy. It’s a force that stands steady, unshaken by external pressures, and it brings with it the invitation to reconnect with the earth beneath your feet.
This Moon in Taurus invites you to ground yourself and celebrate all that you’ve been holding over the past week. Taurus, as an earth sign, connects us deeply to the physical world, our senses, and the nourishing energy of the earth. It’s time to replenish your energy and shed any noise or old layers that are no longer serving you.
As the energy shifts, you are offered an opportunity to channel the strength you’ve cultivated into areas of your life that inspire you. Trust in your inner abilities, your self-worth, and your personal strengths—these are the gifts that Taurus brings, helping you honor your unique path.
What you consider an achievement is solely defined by you. Only you understand the energy it takes to move through certain moments, and that’s the true measure of your success. Celebrate where you’ve been and how far you’ve come.
Reflection Questions:
How can you connect more deeply with the grounded, steady energy of Taurus in your life?
What old patterns or layers are you ready to shed in order to make space for new energy and growth?
What does self-worth mean to you in this moment, and how can you nourish that feeling?
Reflect on recent achievements—what moments have required the most energy and resilience from you?
What does celebrating your own journey and inner strength look like right now?
Ritual
Taurus Moon Ritual
Stand or sit in a quiet space where you can connect with the earth beneath you. Close your eyes and take several deep breaths, grounding yourself fully into the present moment.
Visualize roots growing from the soles of your feet, anchoring you deep into the earth. With each breath, release any tension or old layers that no longer serve you, imagining them dissolving into the soil.
As you exhale, call in the energy of the Taurus moon—steady, strong, and nourishing. Reflect on your personal achievements and your self-worth, acknowledging the strength you’ve cultivated.
Sit in gratitude for your growth, and as the moon casts its light on you, feel yourself replenished and ready to embrace new vitality. When you’re ready, write down three things you are ready to release and three things you are calling in to enhance your personal power and grounding.
Close the ritual by thanking the earth and the moon for their support, and feel the energy of renewal flowing through you.
Sending lots of Love,
Danielle xx
