March Symbolism

The Overview

Welcome! To! March! I love making it here because it feels like the ~true new year. I’ve been watching my energy slowly shift and come back to itself unburdened by anything other than my own stories about how to exist in the world. I’ve been feeling the energy pool in my body and the slow stirring of the pots of life peaking to their ideal, usable viscosity. The dreams that felt like mist carrying a substance to them that is more solid. The wants for life and the year and the general being starting to unfurl to something more visible that a tightly wound seed.

Looking at the symbolism at a glance, it feels like March is very much a time to reconcile whatever still holds us back and to prepare for the bursts of energy that make their way forward. G.O.D., sweetness, ghosts, intuitions, sources of water… We are touched tenderly and gracefully this month, with the innermost workings turning to face their outer counterparts. Get ready for the inside to be outside, get ready for opportunities that will sweep you into what you’ve been yearning for, be ready to transmute whatever haunts you into something that supports and guides you.

March isn’t asking us to move fast, it’s just asking us to be open to being swept away.

The Symbolism

Good Orderly Direction

GOD! The universe! Whateeeever you want to call it, is here in full force. Ask for a sign and it will appear. Ask for the parking space and you will have it. This is a good time to practice trust and surrender to the things that are bigger than us. While most things are not pre-determined (or fated) there are lessons in life that are, and there are times of alignment where flow is a greater or more potent force. As we unthaw ourselves and the world around us, there is a gushing that happens. Many people taking action is like many rivers springing to life. There are more convergence points and more opportunities and just more energy in general! We’re all connected even by the most fragile of threads and the less we try to control and the more we try to ask and listen, the further you will go this month. This is a great time to practice “a letter to love” or “chatting with the universe” as I like to call it, in which I free write a note from the universe to me about what I need to do or know for that day/chapter/moment. You don’t have to know everything here this month. You have to lean into trust.

Intuition Rx

There are a LOT of intuition and inner flow energies showing up this month. This is sort of the bridge to the inner and the outer - the pisces into aries, the winter into the spring. Your intuition will be a great friend and guide to you, and will also perhaps be more available or easy to access. If you don’t know what your intuition feels like for you, a great tool is human design which will tell you what organ and way of intuition appears in your body. I think an important thing to note is that while intuition can bring ease, alignment, joy, etc… its job is actually to teach us. There will be challenging moments with intuition, there will be “what the fuck, why this?” feelings sometimes, but at the end you will look back and understand with clarity how it all works together. It’s not just about where this energy will take you, it’s a reminder of its essential nature to your own path at large. It is about this being a time of building a relationship with your intuition - one where it doesn’t just show up as it pleases but where you can call upon it, too. Learning how to tap in at will.

Candle Rx

There is something within you that is being illuminated. This feels soft and warm, like the first rays of spring sun and the warm wind. Here you bring curiosity and gentleness up to parts of yourself, bask them in warm light. Maybe something you’ve been trying to pull in with a fierce energy is being lulled now by the soft light. It really feels like there is a tenderness needed where you once thought or felt there was harshness needed. Coaxing vs forcing. You don’t need to be forced into any way of being for yourself, you need to feel safe to embody it. If you’ve been wanting more disciplined routine, you get there by trying to make that beautiful and rewarding for yourself - not telling yourself that you aren’t dependable or lazy for not achieving it. You may even want to try lighting literal candles for those parts of yourself you want to get closer to as a ritual for yourself.

Cherry

Sow your seeds! There is delight and work in the cherry - patience and diligence. The ideas, the mood boarding, the daydreaming are all the flesh and the pit is the real opportunity. To take these and plant them in the ground of your life for something tangible. If you’ve been dreaming of a business, start the branding. If you’ve been wanting to purchase something, start the savings. If you want the book, start writing. Planting the pit is our way to cultivate more sweetness, reward, and nourishment in our lives. It gives us something we can tend to instead of manufacture. That is the energy here - whatever you use to avoid or to simulate the reality you want, march wants you to really start acting towards the true possibility of that reality. Act as if it is already real even if it is simply because you can imagine it.

Ghost

What is eating you up? What is still floating around? An ex (lol me @ me), a friendship, a version of yourself, a lost chance, a dream left on pause, a situation that you can’t let go of? The ghost here isn’t trying to harm you, it’s just like “I can’t transmute by myself!” which is to say you need to find clarity and closure. Maybe it’s a conversation, maybe it’s a ritual, maybe it’s doing something you are scared of like taxes or going to the doctor. The ghost is way worse than the reality - it gives us something to make up stories about. The reminder here is that all things are energy, so this like anything else is capable of transforming. What would you put all that energy towards if it wasn’t bogging you down? How would it feel to not always have that thing in the back of your mind? Bring it into the light - gently - and start to make the necessary changes to transform this.

999

You’re shifting the kind of work you’re doing here. For a long time you’ve been in “I’m figuring it out” mode, tinkering and fine-tuning and understanding the capacities of the resources and tools around you. But now it’s time to get a little more serious - and it doesn’t have to be serious you know. It’s just that you have more knowledge, understanding, and clarity now and your choices must reflect this as such. You fucked around, you found out. See this as a reaping of sorts - there is a lot to be celebrated in understanding what really comes next and how to bring your visions to life. Appreciating what you’ve already created and endeavoured to work with is important. Gratitude is important. Gratitude in action, by harvesting and using your ideas/knowledge will bring you great abundance.

Wellspring

Act as if you are well resourced this month, because you are. You will have the energy you need, the connections you need, the support you need. Wherever you are holding back because you aren’t sure or don’t have confirmation just know it will all come in due time. This is a good time to connect with your guides or belief systems - whether to show gratitude, to fill your cup, or to listen for messages and symbols. Think of the things that you really find fulfilling and nourishing - NOT productive!!! - but that allow you to show up for yourself and feel connected to things that are important to you. For me right now it’s writing and yoga, I find so much space and nourishment in these practices and together the feed all the parts of me without leaning to heavily on one or the other. These things are our “cups” that help us draw what we need from the wellspring. There is so much around you, just find your true way of engaging with it. Walks, voice notes, folding laundry, taking a bath, breath work, painting. This is not about the byproduct of the thing, but the things capacity to hold space for you.

River Rx

River is so linked to intuition and wellspring. This feels, again, like a time of unthawing and feeling the rush of things coming back and what they carry. The river is running through you - there might be impulses or flashes of clarity or things you get carried away in. Let yourself. There is a reason for this and if you let yourself into the current it will take you further and faster than you could otherwise. It might feel a little intense on the nervous system at times, but there is ample space in you and your supportive practices to navigate that when the rapids slow. Just know that you will be safe, that this is trying to usher you to the places + spaces that are calling you. This is very internal, so while your external life is a safe container (especially if you engage with the space the wellspring provides) for the journey’s you will be taking so you can find stability and grounding. The river isn’t a swamp or wetland or lake. It is a moving thing, it has a path, and it has shores. This isn’t wild or out of control - it is exactly what it needs to be.
