Crossing the Threshold

Here we are straddling the time betwixt and between the Winter and the Spring. Of course it isn’t that simple and the energy has been culminating, building and spiralling between states. We now feel the intensity of the threshold and must work to find new ground, to stabilise, to be fortified enough to feel the full potentiality of expansion. All of this is not a fixed state, it is an ever evolving growth state. We are in a constant state of flux and flow as energies swirl around us. In all of this, as transmuters of energy, we must find ways to constantly recalibrate. Right now we are being asked to orientate towards the light. The light of the sun and the lightness of the Eastern energies of the maiden dawn. As each new day arrives we can take our time to attune to the flow of the energies. To find a way that allows us to journey through with least resistance. Like the plants we need to move towards the light to sustain us beyond the root and the shoot.

The Sun has moved into Aries. The initiator energies are here to put thrust into everything you have been calling in. So you see, it is always worth being mindful of what that is. Be reminded that whilst the solar energies of Aries are here today - the lunar consciousness is still gestating in the darkness of the dark moon.

So to find equal-ibrium can you balance the solar and lunar energies.

The new moon will be in zero degrees Aries tomorrow. That is a whole lot of Aries fire, initiator energy both solar and lunar in alignment on a Tuesday (fire ruled). So be mindful of the potential for burn out and take action with your agency to balance the tendencies you have to go full throttle into something head long. Its an incredibly powerful transit this year especially so worth making the most of. As the winter Crone passes the maiden the land, welcome the wisdom and balance of both.

We are rising from the ashes of a long winter. What seeds are crossing the threshold with you?

May we all find more balance, harmony and divine union in our inner and outer worlds

PLANT ALLIES

Cultivate relationships with slow and steady resolve

Ask for their support

Listen when they say No

Make an offering in return for their wisdom

The first pour is always to the mother (if taking native plant medicines intentionally I suggest giving the first pour back to the earth mother as a sign of your thanks but also an acknowledgement of enriching her and continuing the cycle)

RITUAL

Invite the energy of the snake into your life. The totem of shedding old skin. Slough any dead skin away. Bless your body temple with the energies of the maiden fully present unto her own power.

SACRED ADORNMENT

Consider what products you use on your body temple and how you may be able to consider making your own from the abundance of the spring plants - rosemary oil and nettle vinegar hair rinse for example

JOURNAL REFLECTIONS

How am I moving my body temple from Water and Earth to Air and Fire, how am I meeting this inside myself, what insights are available?

How can I support myself through this shift of energy?

Consider writing a ‘New Year’ list

OFFERING

Make an offering of gratitude and a commitment to the earth

Enrich the soil for the coming cycle: This could be your moon blood, a song, a connection of your attention and time - feel into what the earth around you needs

Consider the circle of reciprocity

ALTAR

Prepare to change your altar to reflect the Equinox. You may want to consider an altar that reflects the balance of solar and lunar energies coming into equal balance. Or simply a reflection of the burgeoning spring energies. It is powerful to represent all of the elements in your altar, giving gratitude for each one but it may be that you want to bring more attention to AIR and FIRE or if they feel like to much find an expression of balancing these energies

PRACTICE

Move from your solar plexus, snake like, move from your core, activate your solar fire from within

Attune to the solar codes as much as you can ~ allowing yourself to be infused in the light of life

Invest new energy into everything that is meaningful. Bring the vitality of spring into every element of your life, home and work. Clearing out the old and making way for the new. ‘Repot’ things that need revitalising or new direction. Give gratitude to anything which hasn’t made it through the winter, honouring it and composting it for future growth. Continue to walk the land in search of connection to the plants
