In this bonus episode, Amanda shares the astrological and numerological significance of this celestial event and how to better utilize this season for growth and healing.
Are you tired of living the story you’re ready to grow out of and move past? It is time to shadowbox your fears and confront the monster in the closet! Old, karmic stuff may be coming up for you - do you really believe these old stories or are you ready to root them out with your heart and compassion?
Use this moment to your advantage! Eclipse’s trigger a 6-month cycle which either closes out or initiates a new chapter. Monday is a great day to journal, set intentions and work on clearing out your shadows.
Get it on paper:
I am healing…
I am recognizing…
I am letting go of…
I am rewriting behaviors that are limiting me…
Use the Ho'oponopono prayer: “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you”.
This moon is a great time to heal imbalance within ourselves and bring in harmony. Embracing healing will bring you greater freedom and flexibility.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Hi, everyone, It's Amanda Rieger Green. Welcome to Soul Sessions.
Y'all know we're in eclipse season and guess what this
is an eclipse episode. The Libra full moon eclipse is
on March twenty fifth. It's at three a m. Eastern
time in the United States, So wherever you are, do
(00:29):
the math. If you're on Pacific time, it's midnight, so
it is right at that witching hour. But do the
math and figure out whenever it is. This is a
very powerful surge of energy that is coming through and
I'm going to break it down. I'm going to give
you some practical tips and advice, but we're also going
to talk about the astrology and the numerology so you
(00:51):
can better utilize this season because after the full moon
eclipse in early April, we have a new moon. Aclipse
in aries Aries is the opposite of Libra, and if
you didn't listen to last week's podcast, you should totally
check it out. Or I guess it's this week's podcast
where I recorded with Hannah's Elsewhere. She is this amazing
(01:14):
astrologer that has a wealth of information. But we talked
about a clip season, We talked about big astrological events
in twenty twenty four, and we talked about the north
and the south nodes of the moon. And the reason
that's important as it relates to a clip season is
wherever the north and south nodes are at any given point,
(01:35):
and they're usually in signs for about eighteen months. And
it's not like the north and the south pole of
the moon. It's actually these calculated arbitrary points out in
space and they rotate, they shift, so they're in an axis,
an astrological axis for about eighteen months, and they've been
in the signs of Aries and Libra. The north node
(01:59):
of the Moon for all of us in the sky
right now is in Aries, and the south node is
in Libra. What the heck does this mean? The north
node always denotes where we are going, what we are
evolving towards, what we are embracing. The South node says
what needs to be forgiven, what needs to be left behind,
what is outdated, And there's always this great dialogue. And
(02:23):
with this Aries is about the individual. The sun is
in Aries right now, we've got all of this vitality,
this new beginning, fresh start, pioneering individual outside of the
gates energy. Aries is about III freakin me, me me, okay, Like,
nothing wrong with that unless it gets out of whack
and out of balance. Hello, Libra. Libra is about the Wii.
(02:45):
Aries is about the eye. Libra is about the Wei.
And how do we find the middle ground between that?
And this is important right now with these massive shifts
we have going on in ourselves, in the collective, in planet,
the galaxy consciousness, there's a lot going on, and I
know you all are feeling it. I've heard from you
(03:07):
talking to clients, talking to friends, talking to family, talking
to myself. It's happening. We are all feeling these massive,
massive waves of self doubt, old deep seated fears coming
up that we thought maybe we had healed or accepted
or forgiven. It's like just old stuff is coming out
(03:27):
to play. And I tell you what, I'm tired of
playing on that playground. The old stories of I'm not
enough or I don't have enough, or insecurity, self doubt,
imposter syndrome, anything that's coming up for you, if it's
around love and relationships, if it's your health, if it's
your spirituality, if you are stuck in a job or
(03:48):
a relationship and feeling trapped if you're feeling inadequate or insecure,
whatever is coming up for you, do not be afraid
to shadow box right now. That is probably the theme
of this the clips and the energy going forward is
shadow boxing is a thing. And what do I mean
by that? Literally, do not be afraid to look at
your fears, your gunk, your junk, all of your you
(04:12):
know what, that stuff that's coming up that you're like, augh,
what is this voice in my head? I thought I
healed this. Anything that is triggering, jarring, keeping you in pain, down,
or wanting to just escape, because that's what's been coming
up for me. I'm like, I just can't you know.
And I'm not a real just I can't gal but
when I feel that way, it creates disempowerment. And you
(04:34):
all know because you've been listening to the podcast. We're
in an eight universal year in numerology, and I shared
with you it's going to be a contrasty year. Whatever
you are feeling that is triggering you, it's giving you
the key to what you want. And there's a lot
of disempowerment disillusionment right now. And what does the ape
create a pathway to empowerment? So any of that shadow boxing.
(04:58):
Really get it out on paper, write it down, jot
it out, you know, confront the monster in the closet,
the goblin in the woods, the dragon like be the
dragon slayer. Hello, Aries, courageous, brave warrior night. You gotta
summon it right now. That's the pull. So with this eclipse,
(05:20):
here's the deal. Eclipses trigger a six month cycle, and
it's astrologically a thing. It's also I have seen it
play out in my life and in many people's lives.
When we have an eclipse, it either closes out or
initiates something over the course of the upcoming six months.
(05:41):
So the eclipse is the most potent time, So the
couple of days leading up, the couple of days after,
So just think about just before the twenty fifth and
just after the twenty fifth. It may feel discombobulated, gunky, sloppy.
This is a full moon lunar eclipse, which means the
Sun and the moon or in opposition. The Sun is
(06:02):
in aries, the moon is in its opposite of Libra.
And what we are feeling. The moon always denotes parts
of the soul. It brings up our emotional life and
well being. The Sun is about energy and vitality expression.
It's about the ego also, so it's pulling something in
(06:22):
opposition to create an actual meeting in the middle or rebalance.
So it's going to be uncomfortable and full. Moons in
general can also be fun and celebratory party energy. This
doesn't really feel like party energy, so sorry. I mean,
if you want your party hat and confetti out, get
it out. And if you have got stuff to celebrate,
(06:45):
by all means, celebrate. But if you're feeling out of sorts,
out of balance, Libra, out of whack, disharmonious, or I
tell you what else is coming up? A lot? And
this is so Libra aries is this isn't fair? Why
is this happening? I can't handle all these things. I
can't handle fixed change, everyone's emotions, everyone's stuff, and do
(07:07):
my own things. I mean, so if you're spazing out
and doing that, I can't do it all kind of thing.
That's what it's bringing up. It's unfairness, in justice, imbalances,
and Libra is all about balance, harmony, and relationships. It
is ruled by Venus, which is about love and beauty
and poetry and artistry. Venus also rules Taurus, which is
(07:31):
around money and finances and the material world the sensual world.
So there's a lot going on yes on the world stage,
but I want you to bring it back to you
and you all know this. We're in a two month.
In numerology, March is a two month. The two is
libra energy. So we've got a lot of astro numer
(07:54):
energy here that is kind of crescendoing around this eclipse.
So what I want you to remember full moon lunar eclipses,
or a time of closure completion. You can also think
about it as forgiveness, and I think about the Hope
Popo Noo prayer. If you know what I'm talking about.
It's that Hawaiian prayer that is very very simple, and
(08:17):
it essentially is this, I'm sorry, forgive me, thank you,
I love you, And I will tell you what. I
was driving last week sometime and I was thinking about
some stuff that was coming up from childhood, just because
I was having all this gunk come up, right, And
(08:37):
I had this incident happen when I was in first grade,
and it was probably one of the it was one
of the toughest years of my little life up until then.
I mean, I had been through my fair share of stuff.
But I had a first grade teacher. She was really
mean to me, like very borderline abusive, psychologically abusive. And
(08:59):
I mean, I was in grade, and you have to
know this about me. I was a really good child.
I'm a libra hello people pleaser. So I would rather
get positive feedback, positive affirmation than be the child that
is acting out to get attention that way. And we
all play our things out, and believe me, I've acted
out to get attention too. I have done my fair
(09:21):
share of that in my adulthood. And my mom always said,
like I looked back at this book my mom had
and she said, Amanda was a really happy child, and
we talked about this before she died. She said, you
were a really happy baby, and you were a really
happy child. Well, this was a very unhappy time in
my life. And I won't go through all the things,
(09:42):
but this teacher singled me out. I mean, and I'm
just gonna say this, and it's really sad and drastic,
so you know how painful this was for me. She
usually wouldn't let me go to the bathroom in class,
Like if I raised my hand and asked to go
to the bathroom, she would get really mad and in
front of the whole class say why didn't you go
at recess? I'm not going to let you go just
sit there and go to the bathroom in your pants.
(10:03):
So when I am saying this was traumatic. And also
I didn't understand it because I thought I'm really good,
I'm really loving, I'm trying to be good and please
you and do all the things, and you keep singling
me out, bullying me, yelling at me. Anyway. I mean,
I've thought about her time and time over the years,
and the beautiful part to that story is she also
(10:25):
told my parents and this is where the wound is
for me. Okay, So I'm being really vulnerable here and
sharing this with you all because it's been on my heart,
and I hope, I hope it helps you to shadow
box because that's what I've been doing. And this hop
Papono prayer that I'm talking about, it's going to lead
back to this teacher. She told my parents that I
(10:46):
was not intelligent, I wasn't smart enough, and I probably
really was going to have severe learning disabilities and really
was not going to hack it. And you know, my
parents were really shocked by this. I started talking when
I was like six months old, and they thought I
was so smart and like, and I actually like, I
am pretty intelligent. I mean, I don't, it's not how I identify.
(11:10):
But it triggered something in me because she also insisted
I be tutored, and so my parents sent me home
with her, and I would go home with her and
she would take me and tutor me. I mean, this
was a whole year of and my parents didn't know
the extent. I didn't know what to do. They weren't
trying to exacerbate the situation, and they intervened at times.
I mean it was really convoluted and messy, but it
(11:32):
was really shameful. And she basically said, you know, you're
not that smart. You're gonna always need help. You know,
you're very stunted mentally. And I'm in first grade. But
she said that to me, and she demonstrated it to
the class in public all the time. And we moved
that next year, and I mean I became a really
(11:52):
unhappy little person and very confused and very shut down.
And we moved to Austin, Texas. We moved back to Austin, Texas,
and my parents had me repeat the first grade we
moved to Austin, Texas. We moved back to Austin, Texas,
(12:14):
and my parents had me repeat the first grade, and
of course that was really shameful for me because I
already thought I was not intelligent. And I got into
this first grade class and there was an angel, my
first grade teacher, and I will say her name. Her
name was Donna Helm. And my parents went to the
school they enrolled me, and they met with her and said,
(12:35):
you know, we've just we've had a really tough year.
Amanda apparently has a lot of learning disabilities and challenges.
And I don't know what the conversations were, but they
were something to that effect. And Donna said to my parents, well,
why don't you let me sit down with her and
I'll work with her and we'll see what's going on.
And you know, and this woman was this precious Christian
(12:56):
woman who lived her faith and walked her faith and
was gentle and loving and just just a delight. And
she sat down with me and we spent time together,
and I do remember she came back to my parents
and she said, there is nothing wrong with this child.
She is incredibly smart, and she's right where she needs
(13:18):
to be and we're going to get her back on track.
And so they put me in like second grade math
classes and some other classes. But I stayed in first
grade with her, and she nurtured back my little spirit.
But I still have this old part of me that
maybe thinks I am inarticulate or not smart enough or
(13:40):
not able to convey my thoughts. And my husband always
says this, the formative years are called formative years for
a reason. And if I think about this, you know,
if I'm in let's say first grade, that's what five
six years old, and my birthday is October, so I
was always younger for my age. I was like five
(14:00):
and six when all of this went down. And our
chakras tend to develop at about seven year increments. So
the first seven years or root chakra safety security, needing
other people to take care of you, nurture you, support
you than you have. From about seven to fourteen, the
sacral chakra our body and sensuality and sexuality and creativity,
(14:24):
our emotions begin to develop. That's our emotional eq, our
emotional intelligence. Then you move into the solar plexus from
fourteen to twenty one, and we can go on from there.
But All of that for me is root chakra insecurity stuff.
It was stunted, you know, basically all that tape in
my head. Even though I had that loving teacher who
(14:44):
nurtured me and gave me my sense of place and
my sense of self again and my self esteem, all
of that is still old how hardwired stuff. And while
I have thought I had made peace with this teacher
and you know, I accept and all the things, I've
had a couple of scenarios that have come up recently,
(15:05):
and that is the memory that I keep going back
to that incident in first grade that year and behaviors.
It brought out in me stories that I tell myself
in my head that are untrue, were never true, that
I have hardwired into my neural pathways and my thoughts.
That is that old, old storyline that is not relevant today.
(15:28):
It's also not true. And so I was driving and
I was thinking, like all of this flashed in front
of me, and it was like, oh my gosh, this
all goes back to write here this moment and what
was hardwired into my thinking and my psyche and where
some of my root chakra stuff was stunted because the
(15:51):
gunk that's been coming up for me lately is just
old insecurity and fear. It's I'm not safe. I'm not secure.
And I don't mean I'm not safe in my home
or with my friends, but like like I'm not safe
in the world or and I'm not a paranoid person
out in the world, but like this is really deep
seated karma stuff for me. Right. So I'm driving and
(16:12):
I'm thinking about this teacher, and I thought, you know what, Yes,
I believe everything happens for a reason, painful or not.
And my response to it. And this is what I
want you to think about during this eclipse, because Libra eclipses,
full Moon eclipses, we are learning through the other. What
is someone else reflecting back to us? And that's the
(16:33):
energy of March, all the energy of the two. What
have other been people been reflecting back to you, whether
you like it or not, y'all remember that from the
other podcast. You know, sometimes people will reflect back things
that are beautiful about us, or supportive or loving. And
other times either people call us out in gentle and
kind ways, or they're just ugly and unkind and rude
(16:55):
and abrasive. And what is that teaching you? Instead of saying,
what is this doing to me? What is this reinforcing
in me? And I had my little reinforcement moments this month,
but I'm thinking about her as I'm driving, and all
of a sudden, I was like, oh my gosh, all
of that. I don't know why it happened. I don't
(17:15):
think I ever did anything wrong or misbehaved or did
anything to bring that treatment upon myself. And I remembered, oh,
my gosh, hurt people, hurt people, you know, And I
must have reflected something back in her, an insecurity or
an old trauma or an old pain. And I was
the punching bag or the scapegoat. And I didn't do
(17:38):
anything wrong. And in that moment, the Hopopono prayer came
up in my mind and I haven't said that prayer
or thought of that name in forever, and it was
like oh, and I immediately said, and there's nothing I
can think of to be sorry for, Like, I don't
think I did anything wrong. But to me, it's like
(17:58):
maybe it was something from a past life, Maybe there
was a karma being reconciled. I may never know if
or what I did to evoke that behavior and that
treatment from her, but immediately it was like I'm sorry
forgive me, thank you, I love you. And it was
like I was just compassionately setting her free, but setting
(18:23):
myself free, like I don't want to come back and
behave from that storyline, so what for you? And like
I said, I just went like deep and true and
raw and all the things like that. That's a really
intimate personal trauma that I shared. And I'm not sharing
it because I don't have good boundaries. I'm sharing it
(18:45):
because I know right now everybody has stuff coming up
that is old. It's karmic, it's rooted, it is stuff
that is saying do you really believe this old stuff?
Do you believe these old stories? Are you ready to
root them out? And root them out with your heart
with compassion, with I'm sorry, forgive me, thank you, I
(19:09):
love you. And I didn't pick up the phone and
call this woman like this was just in my heart
and I started crying in the car and I felt
free and I felt love and I said her spirit free.
I mean it was a whole moment, right, it was
a whole moment. There's like blue bonnets in Texas, so
it was like this, you know, the beautiful like blue bonnets.
I mean, I'm like in transcendence while I'm driving, but
I just felt better. I don't have to understand why.
(19:33):
I don't have to know or have some reconciliation with
this lady. I have it in my heart and I
really hope she's had a happy life. I wish the
best for her. But something in it shifted me. So
this is a full moon where I want you to
look at what's coming up for you, look at what's
(19:54):
being reflected back, look at what is bringing up deep
seated fear, insecurity, outdated old stories, and sit down and
see where you can set those free so you can
create those new neural pathways, rewrite the stories, and become
this version of you that you already are, this dynamic, infinite, empowered, empowered, empowered,
(20:20):
infinite soul in this human body with messy, frail human beings,
because we all are the perfectly imperfect stuff. And see
if you can root out these things and transform your
energy field from the heart that is imperative. So this
(20:41):
full moon, and I want to tell you something I
do on full moon's, especially the eclipses. When I do
whatever I do for my full moon, my little ceremonies
with my crystals and candles and moonlight. And I mean
I've done all sorts of things all over the years
a lot of times. What I will do is I
will do my full moon journaling and intentions and clearing.
(21:01):
And this is a really good moon for clearing. So
getting out all this shadow stuff, the shadow boxing, get
it all out, get it on paper. I am healing,
I am recognizing, I am letting go of. I am forgiving,
I am practicing compassionate acceptance. I am neutralizing this energy.
I am open and willing to let go of, to surrender,
(21:24):
to to rewrite behaviors that are limiting my fill in
the blank joy, happiness, peace, love, ease, success, prosperity, health,
well being, transcendence, anything, anything that is coming to you.
Write that stuff out, get it on paper, and I
want you to put it out under the moon for
three days so as you know, the eclipse actually happens
(21:46):
in the wee hours of the morning. So sure you
can get up if you want to do it. I
do that sometimes I may even do it on this
this moon. I may get up at it'll be two
am in Texas. I might get up and do it
at two am. Actually I probably will because it's I'm
a Libra, so it's you know, it's Libra full moon,
it's our half birthday and aries. This is like your
opposition time. So it's also really healthy for you all
(22:09):
to create some balance and inclusion and remember to ask
people to help you because you all are so stink
and independent. Plus you all are fire starters, but you
don't always finish things. And you know it. Your genius.
You got fiery ideas. You're spitting them out left and right,
but you got to have people to help you bring
them to fruition. You got to have collaboration and partnership.
That's why we have the balance of the axis, the
(22:31):
independent and the we and how do those two come together?
But put them out under the moon. Write your stuff
and charge that paper up. That's what I do. I
charge the intentions. I put them out with my crystals.
I usually make a grid, I might light a candle
whatever I'm doing, and I leave them out for like
three nights, even if it rains. I don't care about it.
My husband's always like it rained on your journal. I'm like,
(22:52):
don't worry about it. It's supposed to be that way.
So get it out under the moonlight for a few nights.
And also, as it's a reminder, I would wait to
detox and ride out your intentions and your healing and
do your shadow work and journaling. I would wait until
after the eclipse is exact, so at if it's three
(23:13):
am your time, whatever time it is, wait until after
that and then do your journaling. So when you wake
up on the morning of the twenty fifth, that's a
great time to do your journaling and then go put
your paper outside. I know it's going to be sunny
all day, but charge it up for the next couple
of nights under the moon. That's what I would do.
(23:33):
That's what I will do. And last but not least,
this eclipse is at five degrees and if you remember
when I talked about some of the other moons, we've
had a lot of five degree moon energy. The energy
of the five is about freedom. The energy of the
five is about a lot of things. But in this moon,
it feels like we are healing relationships that are imbalanced
(23:58):
or things that are imbalanced within ourselves and within our big, bright,
beautiful spirit. So the ego and the higher self, we're
bringing those into balance. And harmony in a more balanced,
harmonious way. So it's a moon of healing. And what
is the gateway through that, the numerology code, the Five
(24:18):
Degrees of Freedom. It's about greater freedom, greater flexibility, greater
creative self expression, widening your perspective. The five is always
about a shift in perspective. So to me, there's quantum
leap energy here, there's leveling up energy here, and it's
totally in the field. So I hope this was helpful,
(24:40):
and I really want everyone to take some time to journal,
to see what fears are coming up for you, what
is confronting, what's scaring you, what's keeping you in inertia
or stasis, And I want you to have the courage
to get it out of your heart and out of
your head, out of your head and your heart, and
(25:01):
then heal it with your heart, heal it with your compassion,
heal it with your with the infinite potential that you
have to create greater freedom, greater empowerment, and greater propulsion forward.

Hi, everyone, It's Amanda Rieger Green. Welcome to Soul Sessions.
Y'all know we're in eclipse season and guess what this
is an eclipse episode. The Libra full moon eclipse is
on March twenty fifth. It's at three a m. Eastern
time in the United States, So wherever you are, do
(00:29):
the math. If you're on Pacific time, it's midnight, so
it is right at that witching hour. But do the
math and figure out whenever it is. This is a
very powerful surge of energy that is coming through and
I'm going to break it down. I'm going to give
you some practical tips and advice, but we're also going
to talk about the astrology and the numerology so you
(00:51):
can better utilize this season because after the full moon
eclipse in early April, we have a new moon. Aclipse
in aries Aries is the opposite of Libra, and if
you didn't listen to last week's podcast, you should totally
check it out. Or I guess it's this week's podcast
where I recorded with Hannah's Elsewhere. She is this amazing
(01:14):
astrologer that has a wealth of information. But we talked
about a clip season, We talked about big astrological events
in twenty twenty four, and we talked about the north
and the south nodes of the moon. And the reason
that's important as it relates to a clip season is
wherever the north and south nodes are at any given point,
(01:35):
and they're usually in signs for about eighteen months. And
it's not like the north and the south pole of
the moon. It's actually these calculated arbitrary points out in
space and they rotate, they shift, so they're in an axis,
an astrological axis for about eighteen months, and they've been
in the signs of Aries and Libra. The north node
(01:59):
of the Moon for all of us in the sky
right now is in Aries, and the south node is
in Libra. What the heck does this mean? The north
node always denotes where we are going, what we are
evolving towards, what we are embracing. The South node says
what needs to be forgiven, what needs to be left behind,
what is outdated, And there's always this great dialogue. And
(02:23):
with this Aries is about the individual. The sun is
in Aries right now, we've got all of this vitality,
this new beginning, fresh start, pioneering individual outside of the
gates energy. Aries is about III freakin me, me me, okay, Like,
nothing wrong with that unless it gets out of whack
and out of balance. Hello, Libra. Libra is about the Wii.
(02:45):
Aries is about the eye. Libra is about the Wei.
And how do we find the middle ground between that?
And this is important right now with these massive shifts
we have going on in ourselves, in the collective, in planet,
the galaxy consciousness, there's a lot going on, and I
know you all are feeling it. I've heard from you
(03:07):
talking to clients, talking to friends, talking to family, talking
to myself. It's happening. We are all feeling these massive,
massive waves of self doubt, old deep seated fears coming
up that we thought maybe we had healed or accepted
or forgiven. It's like just old stuff is coming out
(03:27):
to play. And I tell you what, I'm tired of
playing on that playground. The old stories of I'm not
enough or I don't have enough, or insecurity, self doubt,
imposter syndrome, anything that's coming up for you, if it's
around love and relationships, if it's your health, if it's
your spirituality, if you are stuck in a job or
(03:48):
a relationship and feeling trapped if you're feeling inadequate or insecure,
whatever is coming up for you, do not be afraid
to shadow box right now. That is probably the theme
of this the clips and the energy going forward is
shadow boxing is a thing. And what do I mean
by that? Literally, do not be afraid to look at
your fears, your gunk, your junk, all of your you
(04:12):
know what, that stuff that's coming up that you're like, augh,
what is this voice in my head? I thought I
healed this. Anything that is triggering, jarring, keeping you in pain, down,
or wanting to just escape, because that's what's been coming
up for me. I'm like, I just can't you know.
And I'm not a real just I can't gal but
when I feel that way, it creates disempowerment. And you
(04:34):
all know because you've been listening to the podcast. We're
in an eight universal year in numerology, and I shared
with you it's going to be a contrasty year. Whatever
you are feeling that is triggering you, it's giving you
the key to what you want. And there's a lot
of disempowerment disillusionment right now. And what does the ape
create a pathway to empowerment? So any of that shadow boxing.
(04:58):
Really get it out on paper, write it down, jot
it out, you know, confront the monster in the closet,
the goblin in the woods, the dragon like be the
dragon slayer. Hello, Aries, courageous, brave warrior night. You gotta
summon it right now. That's the pull. So with this eclipse,
(05:20):
here's the deal. Eclipses trigger a six month cycle, and
it's astrologically a thing. It's also I have seen it
play out in my life and in many people's lives.
When we have an eclipse, it either closes out or
initiates something over the course of the upcoming six months.
(05:41):
So the eclipse is the most potent time, So the
couple of days leading up, the couple of days after,
So just think about just before the twenty fifth and
just after the twenty fifth. It may feel discombobulated, gunky, sloppy.
This is a full moon lunar eclipse, which means the
Sun and the moon or in opposition. The Sun is
(06:02):
in aries, the moon is in its opposite of Libra.
And what we are feeling. The moon always denotes parts
of the soul. It brings up our emotional life and
well being. The Sun is about energy and vitality expression.
It's about the ego also, so it's pulling something in
(06:22):
opposition to create an actual meeting in the middle or rebalance.
So it's going to be uncomfortable and full. Moons in
general can also be fun and celebratory party energy. This
doesn't really feel like party energy, so sorry. I mean,
if you want your party hat and confetti out, get
it out. And if you have got stuff to celebrate,
(06:45):
by all means, celebrate. But if you're feeling out of sorts,
out of balance, Libra, out of whack, disharmonious, or I
tell you what else is coming up? A lot? And
this is so Libra aries is this isn't fair? Why
is this happening? I can't handle all these things. I
can't handle fixed change, everyone's emotions, everyone's stuff, and do
(07:07):
my own things. I mean, so if you're spazing out
and doing that, I can't do it all kind of thing.
That's what it's bringing up. It's unfairness, in justice, imbalances,
and Libra is all about balance, harmony, and relationships. It
is ruled by Venus, which is about love and beauty
and poetry and artistry. Venus also rules Taurus, which is
(07:31):
around money and finances and the material world the sensual world.
So there's a lot going on yes on the world stage,
but I want you to bring it back to you
and you all know this. We're in a two month.
In numerology, March is a two month. The two is
libra energy. So we've got a lot of astro numer
(07:54):
energy here that is kind of crescendoing around this eclipse.
So what I want you to remember full moon lunar eclipses,
or a time of closure completion. You can also think
about it as forgiveness, and I think about the Hope
Popo Noo prayer. If you know what I'm talking about.
It's that Hawaiian prayer that is very very simple, and
(08:17):
it essentially is this, I'm sorry, forgive me, thank you,
I love you, And I will tell you what. I
was driving last week sometime and I was thinking about
some stuff that was coming up from childhood, just because
I was having all this gunk come up, right, And
(08:37):
I had this incident happen when I was in first grade,
and it was probably one of the it was one
of the toughest years of my little life up until then.
I mean, I had been through my fair share of stuff.
But I had a first grade teacher. She was really
mean to me, like very borderline abusive, psychologically abusive. And
(08:59):
I mean, I was in grade, and you have to
know this about me. I was a really good child.
I'm a libra hello people pleaser. So I would rather
get positive feedback, positive affirmation than be the child that
is acting out to get attention that way. And we
all play our things out, and believe me, I've acted
out to get attention too. I have done my fair
(09:21):
share of that in my adulthood. And my mom always said,
like I looked back at this book my mom had
and she said, Amanda was a really happy child, and
we talked about this before she died. She said, you
were a really happy baby, and you were a really
happy child. Well, this was a very unhappy time in
my life. And I won't go through all the things,
(09:42):
but this teacher singled me out. I mean, and I'm
just gonna say this, and it's really sad and drastic,
so you know how painful this was for me. She
usually wouldn't let me go to the bathroom in class,
Like if I raised my hand and asked to go
to the bathroom, she would get really mad and in
front of the whole class say why didn't you go
at recess? I'm not going to let you go just
sit there and go to the bathroom in your pants.
(10:03):
So when I am saying this was traumatic. And also
I didn't understand it because I thought I'm really good,
I'm really loving, I'm trying to be good and please
you and do all the things, and you keep singling
me out, bullying me, yelling at me. Anyway. I mean,
I've thought about her time and time over the years,
and the beautiful part to that story is she also
(10:25):
told my parents and this is where the wound is
for me. Okay, So I'm being really vulnerable here and
sharing this with you all because it's been on my heart,
and I hope, I hope it helps you to shadow
box because that's what I've been doing. And this hop
Papono prayer that I'm talking about, it's going to lead
back to this teacher. She told my parents that I
(10:46):
was not intelligent, I wasn't smart enough, and I probably
really was going to have severe learning disabilities and really
was not going to hack it. And you know, my
parents were really shocked by this. I started talking when
I was like six months old, and they thought I
was so smart and like, and I actually like, I
am pretty intelligent. I mean, I don't, it's not how I identify.
(11:10):
But it triggered something in me because she also insisted
I be tutored, and so my parents sent me home
with her, and I would go home with her and
she would take me and tutor me. I mean, this
was a whole year of and my parents didn't know
the extent. I didn't know what to do. They weren't
trying to exacerbate the situation, and they intervened at times.
I mean it was really convoluted and messy, but it
(11:32):
was really shameful. And she basically said, you know, you're
not that smart. You're gonna always need help. You know,
you're very stunted mentally. And I'm in first grade. But
she said that to me, and she demonstrated it to
the class in public all the time. And we moved
that next year, and I mean I became a really
(11:52):
unhappy little person and very confused and very shut down.
And we moved to Austin, Texas. We moved back to Austin, Texas,
and my parents had me repeat the first grade we
moved to Austin, Texas. We moved back to Austin, Texas,
(12:14):
and my parents had me repeat the first grade, and
of course that was really shameful for me because I
already thought I was not intelligent. And I got into
this first grade class and there was an angel, my
first grade teacher, and I will say her name. Her
name was Donna Helm. And my parents went to the
school they enrolled me, and they met with her and said,
(12:35):
you know, we've just we've had a really tough year.
Amanda apparently has a lot of learning disabilities and challenges.
And I don't know what the conversations were, but they
were something to that effect. And Donna said to my parents, well,
why don't you let me sit down with her and
I'll work with her and we'll see what's going on.
And you know, and this woman was this precious Christian
(12:56):
woman who lived her faith and walked her faith and
was gentle and loving and just just a delight. And
she sat down with me and we spent time together,
and I do remember she came back to my parents
and she said, there is nothing wrong with this child.
She is incredibly smart, and she's right where she needs
(13:18):
to be and we're going to get her back on track.
And so they put me in like second grade math
classes and some other classes. But I stayed in first
grade with her, and she nurtured back my little spirit.
But I still have this old part of me that
maybe thinks I am inarticulate or not smart enough or
(13:40):
not able to convey my thoughts. And my husband always
says this, the formative years are called formative years for
a reason. And if I think about this, you know,
if I'm in let's say first grade, that's what five
six years old, and my birthday is October, so I
was always younger for my age. I was like five
(14:00):
and six when all of this went down. And our
chakras tend to develop at about seven year increments. So
the first seven years or root chakra safety security, needing
other people to take care of you, nurture you, support
you than you have. From about seven to fourteen, the
sacral chakra our body and sensuality and sexuality and creativity,
(14:24):
our emotions begin to develop. That's our emotional eq, our
emotional intelligence. Then you move into the solar plexus from
fourteen to twenty one, and we can go on from there.
But All of that for me is root chakra insecurity stuff.
It was stunted, you know, basically all that tape in
my head. Even though I had that loving teacher who
(14:44):
nurtured me and gave me my sense of place and
my sense of self again and my self esteem, all
of that is still old how hardwired stuff. And while
I have thought I had made peace with this teacher
and you know, I accept and all the things, I've
had a couple of scenarios that have come up recently,
(15:05):
and that is the memory that I keep going back
to that incident in first grade that year and behaviors.
It brought out in me stories that I tell myself
in my head that are untrue, were never true, that
I have hardwired into my neural pathways and my thoughts.
That is that old, old storyline that is not relevant today.
(15:28):
It's also not true. And so I was driving and
I was thinking, like all of this flashed in front
of me, and it was like, oh my gosh, this
all goes back to write here this moment and what
was hardwired into my thinking and my psyche and where
some of my root chakra stuff was stunted because the
(15:51):
gunk that's been coming up for me lately is just
old insecurity and fear. It's I'm not safe. I'm not secure.
And I don't mean I'm not safe in my home
or with my friends, but like like I'm not safe
in the world or and I'm not a paranoid person
out in the world, but like this is really deep
seated karma stuff for me. Right. So I'm driving and
(16:12):
I'm thinking about this teacher, and I thought, you know what, Yes,
I believe everything happens for a reason, painful or not.
And my response to it. And this is what I
want you to think about during this eclipse, because Libra eclipses,
full Moon eclipses, we are learning through the other. What
is someone else reflecting back to us? And that's the
(16:33):
energy of March, all the energy of the two. What
have other been people been reflecting back to you, whether
you like it or not, y'all remember that from the
other podcast. You know, sometimes people will reflect back things
that are beautiful about us, or supportive or loving. And
other times either people call us out in gentle and
kind ways, or they're just ugly and unkind and rude
(16:55):
and abrasive. And what is that teaching you? Instead of saying,
what is this doing to me? What is this reinforcing
in me? And I had my little reinforcement moments this month,
but I'm thinking about her as I'm driving, and all
of a sudden, I was like, oh my gosh, all
of that. I don't know why it happened. I don't
(17:15):
think I ever did anything wrong or misbehaved or did
anything to bring that treatment upon myself. And I remembered, oh,
my gosh, hurt people, hurt people, you know, And I
must have reflected something back in her, an insecurity or
an old trauma or an old pain. And I was
the punching bag or the scapegoat. And I didn't do
(17:38):
anything wrong. And in that moment, the Hopopono prayer came
up in my mind and I haven't said that prayer
or thought of that name in forever, and it was
like oh, and I immediately said, and there's nothing I
can think of to be sorry for, Like, I don't
think I did anything wrong. But to me, it's like
(17:58):
maybe it was something from a past life, Maybe there
was a karma being reconciled. I may never know if
or what I did to evoke that behavior and that
treatment from her, but immediately it was like I'm sorry
forgive me, thank you, I love you. And it was
like I was just compassionately setting her free, but setting
(18:23):
myself free, like I don't want to come back and
behave from that storyline, so what for you? And like
I said, I just went like deep and true and
raw and all the things like that. That's a really
intimate personal trauma that I shared. And I'm not sharing
it because I don't have good boundaries. I'm sharing it
(18:45):
because I know right now everybody has stuff coming up
that is old. It's karmic, it's rooted, it is stuff
that is saying do you really believe this old stuff?
Do you believe these old stories? Are you ready to
root them out? And root them out with your heart
with compassion, with I'm sorry, forgive me, thank you, I
(19:09):
love you. And I didn't pick up the phone and
call this woman like this was just in my heart
and I started crying in the car and I felt
free and I felt love and I said her spirit free.
I mean it was a whole moment, right, it was
a whole moment. There's like blue bonnets in Texas, so
it was like this, you know, the beautiful like blue bonnets.
I mean, I'm like in transcendence while I'm driving, but
I just felt better. I don't have to understand why.
(19:33):
I don't have to know or have some reconciliation with
this lady. I have it in my heart and I
really hope she's had a happy life. I wish the
best for her. But something in it shifted me. So
this is a full moon where I want you to
look at what's coming up for you, look at what's
(19:54):
being reflected back, look at what is bringing up deep
seated fear, insecurity, outdated old stories, and sit down and
see where you can set those free so you can
create those new neural pathways, rewrite the stories, and become
this version of you that you already are, this dynamic, infinite, empowered, empowered, empowered,
(20:20):
infinite soul in this human body with messy, frail human beings,
because we all are the perfectly imperfect stuff. And see
if you can root out these things and transform your
energy field from the heart that is imperative. So this
(20:41):
full moon, and I want to tell you something I
do on full moon's, especially the eclipses. When I do
whatever I do for my full moon, my little ceremonies
with my crystals and candles and moonlight. And I mean
I've done all sorts of things all over the years
a lot of times. What I will do is I
will do my full moon journaling and intentions and clearing.
(21:01):
And this is a really good moon for clearing. So
getting out all this shadow stuff, the shadow boxing, get
it all out, get it on paper. I am healing,
I am recognizing, I am letting go of. I am forgiving,
I am practicing compassionate acceptance. I am neutralizing this energy.
I am open and willing to let go of, to surrender,
(21:24):
to to rewrite behaviors that are limiting my fill in
the blank joy, happiness, peace, love, ease, success, prosperity, health,
well being, transcendence, anything, anything that is coming to you.
Write that stuff out, get it on paper, and I
want you to put it out under the moon for
three days so as you know, the eclipse actually happens
(21:46):
in the wee hours of the morning. So sure you
can get up if you want to do it. I
do that sometimes I may even do it on this
this moon. I may get up at it'll be two
am in Texas. I might get up and do it
at two am. Actually I probably will because it's I'm
a Libra, so it's you know, it's Libra full moon,
it's our half birthday and aries. This is like your
opposition time. So it's also really healthy for you all
(22:09):
to create some balance and inclusion and remember to ask
people to help you because you all are so stink
and independent. Plus you all are fire starters, but you
don't always finish things. And you know it. Your genius.
You got fiery ideas. You're spitting them out left and right,
but you got to have people to help you bring
them to fruition. You got to have collaboration and partnership.
That's why we have the balance of the axis, the
(22:31):
independent and the we and how do those two come together?
But put them out under the moon. Write your stuff
and charge that paper up. That's what I do. I
charge the intentions. I put them out with my crystals.
I usually make a grid, I might light a candle
whatever I'm doing, and I leave them out for like
three nights, even if it rains. I don't care about it.
My husband's always like it rained on your journal. I'm like,
(22:52):
don't worry about it. It's supposed to be that way.
So get it out under the moonlight for a few nights.
And also, as it's a reminder, I would wait to
detox and ride out your intentions and your healing and
do your shadow work and journaling. I would wait until
after the eclipse is exact, so at if it's three
(23:13):
am your time, whatever time it is, wait until after
that and then do your journaling. So when you wake
up on the morning of the twenty fifth, that's a
great time to do your journaling and then go put
your paper outside. I know it's going to be sunny
all day, but charge it up for the next couple
of nights under the moon. That's what I would do.
(23:33):
That's what I will do. And last but not least,
this eclipse is at five degrees and if you remember
when I talked about some of the other moons, we've
had a lot of five degree moon energy. The energy
of the five is about freedom. The energy of the
five is about a lot of things. But in this moon,
it feels like we are healing relationships that are imbalanced
(23:58):
or things that are imbalanced within ourselves and within our big, bright,
beautiful spirit. So the ego and the higher self, we're
bringing those into balance. And harmony in a more balanced,
harmonious way. So it's a moon of healing. And what
is the gateway through that, the numerology code, the Five
(24:18):
Degrees of Freedom. It's about greater freedom, greater flexibility, greater
creative self expression, widening your perspective. The five is always
about a shift in perspective. So to me, there's quantum
leap energy here, there's leveling up energy here, and it's
totally in the field. So I hope this was helpful,
(24:40):
and I really want everyone to take some time to journal,
to see what fears are coming up for you, what
is confronting, what's scaring you, what's keeping you in inertia
or stasis, And I want you to have the courage
to get it out of your heart and out of
your head, out of your head and your heart, and
(25:01):
then heal it with your heart, heal it with your compassion,
heal it with your with the infinite potential that you
have to create greater freedom, greater empowerment, and greater propulsion forward.
