Happy Equinox Monday Morning/Weekly Check-In Post

How Are YOU??!!

Venus moved into Pisces last week which is where it is exalted. Meaning it’s potentially at its most powerful now and you may be feeling the flow of it where love, relationships, what you value, and all things beautiful are concerned. It’ll hang out in Pisces until April 6th, and Mars will be joining it there this Friday.

I was born with Venus in Pisces so this is an especially favorable moment for me, and I am enjoying it as I experience a Venus return. This is an annual event (for most) and lasts about three days. It’s when Venus returns to the place it was when you were born. You can use this online tool to calculate your returns. There are other fun things to do on this site as well.

With spring approaching I dressed in yellow and green yesterday and headed to the farmers’ market. I got to hold a 10-week-old shepherd/border collie puppy who nuzzled her sweet face into my neck as she adjusted to being off the farm from which she was born and out in the world for the first time. Her brother was there and was already more socialized, but she was a shy and anxious baby. I did some reiki on her and spoke sweetly to her as I felt her relax in my arms and she then began to tangle herself in my long hair. I did not want to let her go but there was someone else who needed to see her.

I then filled my arms with flowers from our favorite flower farmers and we’ve now got bunches of sweet peas and chamomile and rose geranium and ranunculus all over our house, a bit of a springtime spell for our environs.

Puppies and flowers and tangerines and avocados, a perfect spring morning.

The valley is beginning to burst with the colors and scents of spring, and I am so grateful we get to experience one more spring with this valley and its wonders. The scent of orange blossoms, lemon blossoms, and jasmine as twilight falls is something I will not forget.

Our social life here continues to be more abundant than it has been in a long time.

“Ojai is trying to hold onto you,” said our friend last night while we were eating a delicious meal at their home.

“Your house might try to hold onto you as well. You’ve been taking care of it for so long now. Just because it tries to hold onto you that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re not supposed to leave it.” Those last words came home with me. They felt like some guidance, which makes me very curious about the potential unexpected happenings that may occur over the next six weeks, our last weeks in this house.

The Equinox will be exact tomorrow, March 19th at 8:06pm Pacific Time. We’ll be hosting our annual Equinox event the next day on Wednesday, March 20th at 12:00pm Pacific on Zoom. There will be so much to hear about with not just the Equinox but two Eclipses ahead and a major astrological event later on in April.

P.S. I saw on Facebook late last night that a friend of mine went home with that puppy I fell in love with. I am so happy to know where she is, that she’s got good people, and that if I want to snuggle with her again I easily can. This kind of magic is such an excellent example of Venus in Pisces.
