Hello Sheila,
Happy March and beginning of spring, the final month of the first quarter of 2025.
I love writing these newsletters each month and really tune into the energies we are experiencing. There is an increase in misinformation and it's so easy to react to the constant influx of information from a myriad of sources. My aim is to share a perspective based on my experiences, education, and intuition. While I recognize the tumult all around, I choose to focus on what is possible in each moment, each day, each month.
March is an interesting month. As the light increases moving towards equinox and beyond there is a feeling of acceleration coming. It turns out the rotation of the Earth really does pick up some momentum and is increasingly faster from Spring through summer in the northern hemisphere. Then it slows down again at the September equinox. This is due to the atmospheric conditions that shift as the earth, tilted on its axis, makes its revolution around the sun. I expect this year we will greatly notice this heightened pace all around us and all around the globe.
In many traditional cultures, March represents the end of the year as the equinox or the first of April are considered the beginning of the new year. We continue through a season of clearing and purification in preparation for the celebrations of renewal to come in late March and April. While January is the beginning of the calendar year, Spring is the beginning of new life after the darkness and hibernation of winter.
We are experiencing changes at a dizzying speed, too fast for our minds to keep up with. As I’ve mentioned before, we are moving into a time that we must rely on our intuition to guide us. That means we must focus awareness less on the head and the mind and more on our heartspace, our gut feelings, and our inner knowing. There are things going on around us that don’t make sense and that can’t be explained with the logical mind and even being directed by forces beyond our control. More than ever, we must mind ourselves; and be a beacon of light in the chaos and darkness.
It may be a great reckoning we are experiencing, and it may also be a great opportunity to be better, to move closer to oneness. In order to do this, we have to tune in; not to the news or to social media or to the external world, but tune into our inner world, spirit, soul, and connect to that deeper knowing. It is about feeling our way through rather than thinking it through.
The focus of the month is: Inner Trust.
It’s important to be able to trust yourself and be connected and accountable to your own thoughts and words and actions. That will mean something different for each of us. Some may become more introverted and inward looking leaning into prayer and meditation; others will become more vocal and active. Both are important, and it's not our role to judge others. And it’s only for us to decide, each one for our own selves, how we will live each day to its highest potential. For as we tune into that inner trust and knowing in pursuit of love, beauty, creativity, and kindness, it creates a ripple effect into our local and even global communities. As we go inward and trust, we then take inspired action to be the change we want to see in the world.
