podcast that will set your soulon fire through candid and
inspiring conversations.
Leading experts, celebrities,healers, and I share our
journeys of how we've overcomechallenges to living an
empowered life from within.
I'm your host, Jennifer Pilates.
Welcome to another episode ofEmpowered Within.
Audio Only - All Particip (00:34):
Well, hello, beautiful souls.
And welcome back to anothercosmic episode of Empowered
Within.
I am so excited about today'sepisode because we are diving
into one of the most potent,electric, and energetically
charged times of the year.
That's right, happy springequinox.
But wait, that's not all.
(00:55):
The cosmos are in fullactivation mode because we are
also in the middle of thepowerful eclipse season with
Venus and Mercury retrograde,adding their own special brand
of cosmic magic to the mix.
If you've been feeling likeyou're in an energetic washing
machine, one minute buzzing withinspiration, and the next
totally drained, well, myfriend, you are not alone.
(01:18):
The universe is pushing us intoa deep reset, realignment, and
awakening moment.
So grab your tea, your coffee,or maybe a grounding crystal or
two, and let's explore what thiscelestial shift means for you.
The Great Cosmic Reset is here.
(01:41):
The spring equinox marks themoment when day and night are in
perfect balance, an exact 50 50split of light and dark.
This is the astrological newyear, as we step into Aries
season and hit the reset buttonfor the next 12 months.
So, what does the equinox bringto the table?
(02:02):
The shedding of the old,releasing winter's stagnant
energy.
I want you to think abouteverything that went on over the
last six months.
What is left that you're needingto release, heal, or finally
come to terms with?
Because that is exactly what theenergy of the Equinox is asking.
(02:23):
It's also asking to embrace thenew, ignite fresh inspiration
and motivation.
But again, we can't do thatuntil we've released these last
six months.
It's also asking us to findbalance between action and rest
and intuition and logic.
And with the energies that havebeen going on lately, I'm sure
that you have been in betweenyour heart and head a lot.
(02:46):
Today is the day that we comeback to our heart.
Today is the day we come backinto alignment.
50 50 light and dark.
We are balanced, divine feminineand divine masculine today.
So take time to meditate today.
Take time to realign with theenergies.
(03:09):
What has your heart been callingfor?
And what has your head beengetting you all twisted in a bun
about?
It's time to come back to ourcenter, to our heart.
Now, astrologically, Airy seasonactivates a lot of energies, and
this is what we're walking intotoday.
(03:29):
We are walking into courage andbold action, fresh inspiration,
a rebirth of self identity.
The equinox is like a cosmicsunrise.
What are you waking up to inthis new chapter of your life?
(03:51):
Now, in order to understand allthe energies that are going on,
we really need to dive intothem.
The portal of transmission thatwe're all in, the in between
wobbly moments of the eclipseseason.
Let's talk about the biggestenergy movers of the season.
These two eclipses we had one onMarch 14th, which was a total
(04:12):
lunar eclipse in Virgo.
And we've got another one comingup next week, March 29th, which
is a partial solar eclipse inAries, of course, because we
just are beginning our Ariesseason.
These two weeks between eclipsesare a quantum leap portal where
the universe speeds up fate andclears what's blocking your
(04:33):
path.
This is a time of suddenchanges, revelations, and deep
detox.
So let's look ahead to what isalready pulling with these
eclipses.
So when we look back to theMarch 14th, the total lunar
eclipse, which was in Virgo fullmoon, it was supercharged.
(04:54):
It brought endings, revelations,and emotional breakthroughs.
It questioned our healthroutines.
Where were things out ofalignment?
We were releasing perfectionism.
We were being asked to let goof.
Overanalyzing and all the selfcriticism were being asked to
let go of all that.
There's also a deep emotionaldetox that came along with that
(05:16):
full moon.
What outdated beliefs did youhave that you needed to let go
of?
Now, throughout that energy, itwas all about, and it still is
about, because remember, inbetween both eclipses,
decluttering, Your body, mind,and space, literally your space.
(05:36):
So you want a journal about whatisn't serving you, how can you
release it?
Whether that's people, places,things, whatever it is.
And most importantly, you reallywant to honor your emotions.
This is a time of shedding old.
layers.
And you can see by what we justtalked about with the energies
of the equinox, which is today,this is all in alignment.
(05:58):
If you didn't get it with thefull moon, the equinox.
Hello?
Are you home?
Because we want to make surethat you're getting what we're
laying down.
Now, as we look forward intoMarch next week, the 29th, we
have a partial solar eclipse inAries, which is a new moon
(06:18):
eclipse.
This solar eclipsed is asupercharged new moon bringing
bold beginnings and fadedshifts.
Yes, I said it.
Faded shifts.
That's what eclipsed do.
They eclipse things in our lifeand out of our life.
Bing, bam, boom.
So, what energies are alreadypulling and going to continue to
(06:39):
pull with this solar eclipsethat's coming?
This partial solar eclipse?
Well, courageous new paths.
You're going to be asked to stepinto the future.
leadership, and confidence likenever before.
Passion projects are going tobegin to ignite you.
So what lights you up?
Because that's exactly what youshould be doing and everything
(06:59):
that hasn't been lighting youup, say goodbye.
Massive shifts in personalidentity.
Who are you becoming becausethese last six months, you have
been transforming, you have beenreleasing, you have been
resetting, you have beenrealigning.
(07:22):
So now how do we prepare withall of this?
I want you to take time toreally set intentions that feel
deeply aligned with your soul'sevolution, who you are today,
where you'd like to see yourselfstepping into.
Take inspired action, but at thesame time, we want to stay open
(07:46):
to the eclipses bringing insurprises.
Again, twists of fate.
Things will come into your lifeand go out of your life very
quickly.
This is not a time to make majordecisions.
Those decisions are going tocome after this next eclipse on
the 29th.
And basically, sometimes it'snot so much you're making the
(08:06):
decision, but the universe isstepping in and going, Oh, by
the way, what you've beenthinking about, here's your
answer.
You thought it was B, guesswhat, it's Z.
That's the fun of the eclipse,going, Holy crap, I've been
looking at this whole situationfrom A to B to, to C to D and E
and F, and the eclipse is going,honey child.
You done missed half thealphabet.
(08:29):
Come on now, let's take a biggerlook because there's bigger
dreams.
You are being asked to step intoa completely new, high
vibrational, energized you.
So trust whatever is unfolding,because remember, the universe
is unfolding everything that isfor your highest and best good.
(08:53):
In the moments.
Doesn't always make sense.
It doesn't always feel right,but that's when we go back and
say, how is this happening forme?
What is the blessing in thismoment?
What am I to be learning?
And then take a step back,because remember, we are still
in this weebly wobbly time andthe head and the heart are still
(09:15):
battling it out.
This is the time, especiallytoday, to claim your heart.
Whatever you're looking at, theastrology charts, the
numerology, whatever it is, putit to the side.
And I want you to tune in to youand say, What is my heart
calling for?
(09:36):
That will be your right nextstep.
You won't necessarily take thatright next step.
yet, because we've got to talkabout being in Venus retrograde
and the Mercury retrograde, butyou will begin to see that path
opening up for you.
(09:58):
Okay, so let's dive into theVenus retrograde, because there
is so much going on.
With all of these energies.
And I think that people forgetlike, Oh yeah, Venus went into
retrograde last month, but, Oh,we've got mercury and retrograde
this month.
Oh, but we've got two eclipses.
Oh, but we've got an Equinox.
Hello.
That's a lot.
So let's break it down each timewe need to review to stay on
(10:20):
track, to stay aligned.
So Venus retrograde, the heartand the money.
Reset.
Sound like a theme we've beentalking about?
Again, coming back to yourheart.
Venus retrograde adds anotherlayer to the transformation
that's going on.
She is focusing on yourrelationships.
(10:43):
Old patterns resurface forhealing.
What do you need to heal?
What needs to be released?
This is the fated time inrelationships where if you have
been on rocky grounds, this is abreak it or make it.
You're either moving on oryou're really digging in deep
and you're making it work.
(11:03):
This is a huge time where youwill see new couples coming
together just as quickly asother couples being divorced.
There is no happy medium here.
Finances.
Venus is hand in hand with ourheart and our finances.
We are being asked to reassessour spending and we're being
asked to avoid major purchases,of which it is not a time
(11:26):
anyways.
Because Mercury retrograde, butwe'll get there.
Our self worth.
When we come back to Venus andwe come back to our heart and we
come back into alignment, whatdo you truly value?
Not what's on sale.
Not what you think would be thebest place to move based on
weather.
(11:47):
Not, well, that man or thatwoman looks good for their
potential.
No, no.
What do you truly value withinyourself?
What are you loving aboutyourself?
What are you valuing aboutyourself?
What do you feel worthy ofwithin yourself?
This is your time.
(12:08):
This is Venus.
This is your heart and yourmoney reset.
So how do we work with Venusretrograde?
We reflect on pastrelationships.
What lessons are resurfacing?
What lessons haven't we got thatwe need to go, Okay, I'm done
with this.
Because guess what?
With the energies of theeclipses, this is the time to be
(12:28):
like, I see the pattern, I seethe common denominator, i.
e., Me, and I'm ready to be donewith that.
That's part of what was, I'mwalking into what is coming.
Focus on deep self love and selfcare.
Venus is all about loving up onyou.
With her being in retrograde,it's where have you slacked?
(12:51):
Where have you put you, yourself love and your self care on
the back burner?
What do you need to do?
Do we need a bath?
Do we need rose petals?
Do we need a quiet afternoonwith popcorn and bonbons and a
Hallmark session?
What do we need to do so thatyou feel loved, that you are
(13:13):
showing love and self care toyourself?
This is the time.
It is not a time to makeimpulsive money moves.
Okay, not right now for numerousreasons, not only Venus
retrograde, but Mercuryretrograde, but we're focusing
on the Venus retrograde.
It do not, no impulsive moneymoves.
We are thinking about the longterm.
(13:35):
We can make plans.
We can put our ducks in a row.
We can watch strategically.
Whether that's real estate,whether that's a new car,
whether that's even a newrefrigerator, whatever it may
be.
It's just not the time to makethe move to take the action.
Again, going back to, we're inbetween the two eclipses.
(13:56):
Venus retrograde, Mercuryretrograde.
Let's just hold the phone for aminute.
Nothing impulsive.
What we are thinking about isaligning our heart.
Aligning our heart and our moneyreset, aligning our body, mind,
and spirit reset to embrace allof these energies.
(14:21):
Mercury retrograde.
Ooh, the trickster awakens.
We're in it.
You can't tell me you have notbeen feeling these glitches.
I don't know one person thatisn't having vehicle trouble,
including myself.
My sweet baby girl Gabby, that'sher name, she's going into the
shop tomorrow for something thathas been happening for, guess
(14:42):
how many months, six months, butit would happen and then go away
and happen and go away.
It's being brought back now inthe eclipse energies, in the
retrograde energies, because whythis is a time of completion to
complete these things that maybehave been going on that we need
to be done with.
(15:02):
So that's how I want you to lookat some of the things with the
retrograde.
Okay.
So we.
We all know Mercury retrogradeloves to shake things up when it
comes to communication, travel,and, oh my goodness, technology.
But this, in this eclipseseason, it's also giving us a
cosmic slowdown, so that wedon't rush into things before
we're ready.
(15:23):
It's a huge blessing.
We don't always get this with aMercury Retrograde.
So we're double checkingconversations because
miscommunications is very commonwhen it comes to Mercury
Retrograde.
We are pausing before we speak.
We are not listening.
Reacting travel delays arealmost just a given.
(15:43):
So we need to be flexible withour plans, whatever that is,
whether that's a zoom meeting orwhether that's a plane ticket,
we need to double, triple checkeverything and just be flexible
during this time.
Past lessons resurface.
This is a time of review.
This is not a time to rush.
(16:03):
So when it comes to the MercuryRetrograde, things that we've
maybe pushed to the wayside,we're avoiding A, B, and C in
our relationship.
Mercury Retrograde says hello.
Not only Mercury Retrograde,Venus Retrograde and Hello to
eclipses.
They're like, um, yeah, youcan't not look at that now.
(16:26):
This is the time and it needs tobe fixed now.
Because if you don't fix it,we're gonna fix it.
And we all know what happenswhen the universe comes in to
fix things.
It's much better to be inalignment and be flexible and be
in the flow than to wait for theuniverse to come in with a
sledgehammer.
We know how that goes.
(16:46):
Mercury Retrograde.
Now some, you know, basic thingsthat people always ask about
like getting married, gettingengaged, buying a car, any big
appliance.
It's a hard no.
It's a hard no.
Just plain and simple, don't doit.
This is not a time to go and,bet big at Vegas.
Now again, not only because ofthe Mercury Retrograde, because
(17:07):
we're double down.
No pun intended.
With the Venus Retrograde, whichis teaching us to reset our
money and reassess things.
So this is a time to review,revise, rethink about your life,
the people, places, and thingsin it, and give yourself time to
reset.
Renew and align body, mind, andspirit.
(17:36):
So I know this is a lot.
This is a lot of energies,right?
How do these energies worktogether?
And what more can you reallyexpect?
The eclipses, the Venusretrograde, the Mercury
retrograde, they all interactcollectively as you've been
listening.
It feels like a cosmic detox isthe one of the better ways to
(17:57):
describe it mentally,emotionally, and physically.
And because we've got theretrogrades, There's an aspect
of slow down.
But when we add in the eclipses,there's this bing bam boom kind
of energy that's also going tohappen.
So depending on where you're atand what's going on is going to
depend on if you're being askedto slow down or if the universe
(18:20):
is saying enough and we're justmaking changes.
Old wounds are definitelyresurfacing and they're not
resurfacing to torment you.
I promise you they'reresurfacing for healing.
They're popping up to say, hey,either A, we've avoided this, or
(18:40):
B, I know we really tried todeal with this before, but
there's still some stuff here weneed to deal with.
So I don't want you to have ameltdown and go, oh my god, this
is coming back again.
No.
I want you to go, well, holysmokes.
I guess I need to look into thisa little further.
There's a little bit more workfor me to do here.
You're not going backwards.
(19:01):
You're still moving forwards.
You're just like taking backanother layer of the onion, so
to speak.
Emotional highs and lows.
During these energies, witheverything going on, you are
going to have days of holy,amazing, inspired, fire under
your tail energy, to nearlyexhausted.
(19:24):
Now when we add in the solarflares and everything else going
on with the cosmic energies thathas been happening a lot This is
to be expected Go with the flowdo not fight it if you are
feeling I can't move Go laydown, have your Reiki music on,
have some meditation, lean intothat, allow the universe to do
(19:47):
the upgrades and work on youthat it needs.
The universe will put you downif you are not listening.
I always say when you're reallynot listening and you're making
plans and it's gone on longenough.
That's usually when, whathappens, we pull something, we
sprain something, the flu,whatever it is, the universe
will make sure that it can putyou down so that you will get
(20:11):
real honest with yourself and sothat you will hear the messages.
So again, it's easier just to gowith the flow.
You could be feeling pulled.
between reflection, which is theretrograde, and taking action,
which is the eclipses.
Again, I don't know any personthat isn't in between of this.
Again, our head and our heart,right?
(20:34):
Thinking about what was, whatcould be, versus you know what,
I just want to take inspiredaction and I just want to go for
it.
And then the retrogrades arelike, but do you?
And the eclipses are like, hellyeah I do! And you're like, mmm.
So that back and forth.
You're feeling all of this?
You're so energetically normaland aligned with what is going
(20:55):
on in the collective of theuniverse, of the astrology, of
it all.
You're fabulous.
You may feel torn between movingforward and holding back.
Why is that?
The Airy Solar Eclipse says GO!Get out of here, make the
(21:15):
changes, go for it.
And then you've got MercuryRetrograde that says, hey, wait
a minute, hey, over here, Ithink you forgot a few things,
right?
Trust the timing of theuniverse.
Trust the timing of yourmanifestations.
Write your journal, meditate,pull in the energies of what,
(21:39):
that feeling of what it isyou're desiring in your life,
and then release it and let theuniverse work on it behind the
scenes.
This isn't the time in thismoment right now where we're
going to see our whole livesunfold for us.
If you're like me, you've beentrying to make it happen.
Because even I'm like, I think Ican make a plan.
(21:59):
I think I can do this.
I think, and then I'm like, whatam I even trying to do right
now?
Like, what a waste of time.
It doesn't matter what I thinkor what I try to do.
It's not going to unfold untilthe eclipses are complete.
It's not going to really Moveforward energetically, really,
until we get into about themiddle of April, because we've
(22:20):
got it clear, even though thateclipse is going to happen next
week, we still need to finish upwith the Venus retrograde, and
we still need to complete theMercury retrograde, which
doesn't complete until themiddle of April, and then, we'll
see you then.
I know, I know, you're like, Ohmy God, Jennifer, where's the
happiness here?
There's still seven to 10 daysafter that of debris is what I
call it, where things are stillkind of shifting.
(22:41):
So what I'm saying is, and Iwant you to see this positive,
is today is the 20th.
It's the spring equinox.
Now through the middle of April,this is your time to focus on
you, your self care, coming intoalignment, body, mind, and
spirit.
Get your journal, write down thesigns that you're receiving,
write down the thoughts thatyou're having.
It's just not the time to takeaction yet, because so much is
(23:03):
still going to change in thecoming few weeks here.
So by writing things down inthat journal, by keeping track
of things, come the middle ofApril, you can look back and you
can go, okay, that had weight toit.
That didn't, that was just a flyby night idea.
I don't know where that camefrom.
And so on and so forth.
So that you again are working inflow.
(23:23):
You're setting yourself upcorrectly with divine timing
with the universe.
Because that's what we want.
We want to be in divine flow.
We want to be in alignment.
We can't keep it every moment ofevery day.
That would be amazeballs, right?
But we can do our darn best,especially during this wild,
most amazing energetic timethat's really helping us to
(23:45):
cleanse, clear, and reset.
What else is coming in?
You're like wait more fadedevents and divine redirection
relationships career shiftsunexpected endings and New
beginnings with every door thatcloses.
(24:05):
There's a new door that opensWhat seems like a setback in
this moment is actually a cosmicreroot It is a cosmic blessing.
It is a cosmic sense ofprotection that is setting you
up to quantum leap you into thisnext high vibrational level that
(24:25):
you are being asked, truly, tolevel up to.
So, again, how do we navigateall of this with ease, with
grace and ease, I like to say,because, you know, it's a little
crazy, it's a little bat shitcrazy, you know, there's,
there's no harm in saying it.
We're gonna have some fun withit, right?
Ground your energy daily.
(24:45):
Is that movement?
Is that Pilates?
Is that yoga?
Is that meditation?
Is that breath work?
Ground your energy.
It is so, so, so important rightnow.
Slow down when needed.
Take action when you'reinspired.
Trust the universe is working inyour favor.
(25:07):
The universe has your back.
The universe already knows howthis is unfolding.
The universe, God, the angels,they're sitting back, their feet
are up, they're having a greatsunny day going, what's them all
worrying?
What are they so worried about?
Don't they trust us?
Don't they know that we havetheir highest and best good and
(25:30):
interest at heart here?
Coming back to the heart.
This is our time to reset, tocome in alignment with God.
our hearts with your heart.
So find your heart.
Come back to your heart andembrace your heart.
(25:53):
Remember, you are a cosmiccreator.
This season is an invitation tostep into your power, align with
your highest path, and co createwith the universe.
What are you planting in thisseason?
What shifts Are you calling in?

(26:57):
I was called to do this like 12different ways in 12 different
times and I finally was like, Ijust need to get it out because
there's so much out there anddepending on where you turn,
you're either going to hear thedoom and gloom or you're going
to hear fairies and unicorns andyou know me, I am a fairies and
unicorn girl, but I'm also veryrealistic being a tourist.
(27:21):
Today is the day.
You're 50 50 light and dark.
You're 50 50 divine feminine anddivine masculine.
It's your day.
You better claim this day.
Don't you let these energies goby.

Ooh! I want you to get sofreaking clear about what you

God, with your angels.

The spring equinox marks themoment when day and night are in
perfect balance, an exact 50 50split of light and dark.
This is the astrological newyear, as we step into Aries
season and hit the reset buttonfor the next 12 months.
So, what does the equinox bringto the table?
(02:02):
The shedding of the old,releasing winter's stagnant
energy.
I want you to think abouteverything that went on over the
last six months.
What is left that you're needingto release, heal, or finally
come to terms with?
Because that is exactly what theenergy of the Equinox is asking.
(02:23):
It's also asking to embrace thenew, ignite fresh inspiration
and motivation.
But again, we can't do thatuntil we've released these last
six months.
It's also asking us to findbalance between action and rest
and intuition and logic.
And with the energies that havebeen going on lately, I'm sure
that you have been in betweenyour heart and head a lot.
(02:46):
Today is the day that we comeback to our heart.
Today is the day we come backinto alignment.
50 50 light and dark.
We are balanced, divine feminineand divine masculine today.
So take time to meditate today.
Take time to realign with theenergies.
(03:09):
What has your heart been callingfor?
And what has your head beengetting you all twisted in a bun
about?
It's time to come back to ourcenter, to our heart.
Now, astrologically, Airy seasonactivates a lot of energies, and
this is what we're walking intotoday.
(03:29):
We are walking into courage andbold action, fresh inspiration,
a rebirth of self identity.
The equinox is like a cosmicsunrise.
What are you waking up to inthis new chapter of your life?
(03:51):
Now, in order to understand allthe energies that are going on,
we really need to dive intothem.
The portal of transmission thatwe're all in, the in between
wobbly moments of the eclipseseason.
Let's talk about the biggestenergy movers of the season.
These two eclipses we had one onMarch 14th, which was a total
(04:12):
lunar eclipse in Virgo.
And we've got another one comingup next week, March 29th, which
is a partial solar eclipse inAries, of course, because we
just are beginning our Ariesseason.
These two weeks between eclipsesare a quantum leap portal where
the universe speeds up fate andclears what's blocking your
(04:33):
path.
This is a time of suddenchanges, revelations, and deep
detox.
So let's look ahead to what isalready pulling with these
eclipses.
So when we look back to theMarch 14th, the total lunar
eclipse, which was in Virgo fullmoon, it was supercharged.
(04:54):
It brought endings, revelations,and emotional breakthroughs.
It questioned our healthroutines.
Where were things out ofalignment?
We were releasing perfectionism.
We were being asked to let goof.
Overanalyzing and all the selfcriticism were being asked to
let go of all that.
There's also a deep emotionaldetox that came along with that
(05:16):
full moon.
What outdated beliefs did youhave that you needed to let go
of?
Now, throughout that energy, itwas all about, and it still is
about, because remember, inbetween both eclipses,
decluttering, Your body, mind,and space, literally your space.
(05:36):
So you want a journal about whatisn't serving you, how can you
release it?
Whether that's people, places,things, whatever it is.
And most importantly, you reallywant to honor your emotions.
This is a time of shedding old.
layers.
And you can see by what we justtalked about with the energies
of the equinox, which is today,this is all in alignment.
(05:58):
If you didn't get it with thefull moon, the equinox.
Hello?
Are you home?
Because we want to make surethat you're getting what we're
laying down.
Now, as we look forward intoMarch next week, the 29th, we
have a partial solar eclipse inAries, which is a new moon
(06:18):
eclipse.
This solar eclipsed is asupercharged new moon bringing
bold beginnings and fadedshifts.
Yes, I said it.
Faded shifts.
That's what eclipsed do.
They eclipse things in our lifeand out of our life.
Bing, bam, boom.
So, what energies are alreadypulling and going to continue to
(06:39):
pull with this solar eclipsethat's coming?
This partial solar eclipse?
Well, courageous new paths.
You're going to be asked to stepinto the future.
leadership, and confidence likenever before.
Passion projects are going tobegin to ignite you.
So what lights you up?
Because that's exactly what youshould be doing and everything
(06:59):
that hasn't been lighting youup, say goodbye.
Massive shifts in personalidentity.
Who are you becoming becausethese last six months, you have
been transforming, you have beenreleasing, you have been
resetting, you have beenrealigning.
(07:22):
So now how do we prepare withall of this?
I want you to take time toreally set intentions that feel
deeply aligned with your soul'sevolution, who you are today,
where you'd like to see yourselfstepping into.
Take inspired action, but at thesame time, we want to stay open
(07:46):
to the eclipses bringing insurprises.
Again, twists of fate.
Things will come into your lifeand go out of your life very
quickly.
This is not a time to make majordecisions.
Those decisions are going tocome after this next eclipse on
the 29th.
And basically, sometimes it'snot so much you're making the
(08:06):
decision, but the universe isstepping in and going, Oh, by
the way, what you've beenthinking about, here's your
answer.
You thought it was B, guesswhat, it's Z.
That's the fun of the eclipse,going, Holy crap, I've been
looking at this whole situationfrom A to B to, to C to D and E
and F, and the eclipse is going,honey child.
You done missed half thealphabet.
(08:29):
Come on now, let's take a biggerlook because there's bigger
dreams.
You are being asked to step intoa completely new, high
vibrational, energized you.
So trust whatever is unfolding,because remember, the universe
is unfolding everything that isfor your highest and best good.
(08:53):
In the moments.
Doesn't always make sense.
It doesn't always feel right,but that's when we go back and
say, how is this happening forme?
What is the blessing in thismoment?
What am I to be learning?
And then take a step back,because remember, we are still
in this weebly wobbly time andthe head and the heart are still
(09:15):
battling it out.
This is the time, especiallytoday, to claim your heart.
Whatever you're looking at, theastrology charts, the
numerology, whatever it is, putit to the side.
And I want you to tune in to youand say, What is my heart
calling for?
(09:36):
That will be your right nextstep.
You won't necessarily take thatright next step.
yet, because we've got to talkabout being in Venus retrograde
and the Mercury retrograde, butyou will begin to see that path
opening up for you.
(09:58):
Okay, so let's dive into theVenus retrograde, because there
is so much going on.
With all of these energies.
And I think that people forgetlike, Oh yeah, Venus went into
retrograde last month, but, Oh,we've got mercury and retrograde
this month.
Oh, but we've got two eclipses.
Oh, but we've got an Equinox.
Hello.
That's a lot.
So let's break it down each timewe need to review to stay on
(10:20):
track, to stay aligned.
So Venus retrograde, the heartand the money.
Reset.
Sound like a theme we've beentalking about?
Again, coming back to yourheart.
Venus retrograde adds anotherlayer to the transformation
that's going on.
She is focusing on yourrelationships.
(10:43):
Old patterns resurface forhealing.
What do you need to heal?
What needs to be released?
This is the fated time inrelationships where if you have
been on rocky grounds, this is abreak it or make it.
You're either moving on oryou're really digging in deep
and you're making it work.
(11:03):
This is a huge time where youwill see new couples coming
together just as quickly asother couples being divorced.
There is no happy medium here.
Finances.
Venus is hand in hand with ourheart and our finances.
We are being asked to reassessour spending and we're being
asked to avoid major purchases,of which it is not a time
(11:26):
anyways.
Because Mercury retrograde, butwe'll get there.
Our self worth.
When we come back to Venus andwe come back to our heart and we
come back into alignment, whatdo you truly value?
Not what's on sale.
Not what you think would be thebest place to move based on
weather.
(11:47):
Not, well, that man or thatwoman looks good for their
potential.
No, no.
What do you truly value withinyourself?
What are you loving aboutyourself?
What are you valuing aboutyourself?
What do you feel worthy ofwithin yourself?
This is your time.
(12:08):
This is Venus.
This is your heart and yourmoney reset.
So how do we work with Venusretrograde?
We reflect on pastrelationships.
What lessons are resurfacing?
What lessons haven't we got thatwe need to go, Okay, I'm done
with this.
Because guess what?
With the energies of theeclipses, this is the time to be
(12:28):
like, I see the pattern, I seethe common denominator, i.
e., Me, and I'm ready to be donewith that.
That's part of what was, I'mwalking into what is coming.
Focus on deep self love and selfcare.
Venus is all about loving up onyou.
With her being in retrograde,it's where have you slacked?
(12:51):
Where have you put you, yourself love and your self care on
the back burner?
What do you need to do?
Do we need a bath?
Do we need rose petals?
Do we need a quiet afternoonwith popcorn and bonbons and a
Hallmark session?
What do we need to do so thatyou feel loved, that you are
(13:13):
showing love and self care toyourself?
This is the time.
It is not a time to makeimpulsive money moves.
Okay, not right now for numerousreasons, not only Venus
retrograde, but Mercuryretrograde, but we're focusing
on the Venus retrograde.
It do not, no impulsive moneymoves.
We are thinking about the longterm.
(13:35):
We can make plans.
We can put our ducks in a row.
We can watch strategically.
Whether that's real estate,whether that's a new car,
whether that's even a newrefrigerator, whatever it may
be.
It's just not the time to makethe move to take the action.
Again, going back to, we're inbetween the two eclipses.
(13:56):
Venus retrograde, Mercuryretrograde.
Let's just hold the phone for aminute.
Nothing impulsive.
What we are thinking about isaligning our heart.
Aligning our heart and our moneyreset, aligning our body, mind,
and spirit reset to embrace allof these energies.
(14:21):
Mercury retrograde.
Ooh, the trickster awakens.
We're in it.
You can't tell me you have notbeen feeling these glitches.
I don't know one person thatisn't having vehicle trouble,
including myself.
My sweet baby girl Gabby, that'sher name, she's going into the
shop tomorrow for something thathas been happening for, guess
(14:42):
how many months, six months, butit would happen and then go away
and happen and go away.
It's being brought back now inthe eclipse energies, in the
retrograde energies, because whythis is a time of completion to
complete these things that maybehave been going on that we need
to be done with.
(15:02):
So that's how I want you to lookat some of the things with the
retrograde.
Okay.
So we.
We all know Mercury retrogradeloves to shake things up when it
comes to communication, travel,and, oh my goodness, technology.
But this, in this eclipseseason, it's also giving us a
cosmic slowdown, so that wedon't rush into things before
we're ready.
(15:23):
It's a huge blessing.
We don't always get this with aMercury Retrograde.
So we're double checkingconversations because
miscommunications is very commonwhen it comes to Mercury
Retrograde.
We are pausing before we speak.
We are not listening.
Reacting travel delays arealmost just a given.
(15:43):
So we need to be flexible withour plans, whatever that is,
whether that's a zoom meeting orwhether that's a plane ticket,
we need to double, triple checkeverything and just be flexible
during this time.
Past lessons resurface.
This is a time of review.
This is not a time to rush.
(16:03):
So when it comes to the MercuryRetrograde, things that we've
maybe pushed to the wayside,we're avoiding A, B, and C in
our relationship.
Mercury Retrograde says hello.
Not only Mercury Retrograde,Venus Retrograde and Hello to
eclipses.
They're like, um, yeah, youcan't not look at that now.
(16:26):
This is the time and it needs tobe fixed now.
Because if you don't fix it,we're gonna fix it.
And we all know what happenswhen the universe comes in to
fix things.
It's much better to be inalignment and be flexible and be
in the flow than to wait for theuniverse to come in with a
sledgehammer.
We know how that goes.
(16:46):
Mercury Retrograde.
Now some, you know, basic thingsthat people always ask about
like getting married, gettingengaged, buying a car, any big
appliance.
It's a hard no.
It's a hard no.
Just plain and simple, don't doit.
This is not a time to go and,bet big at Vegas.
Now again, not only because ofthe Mercury Retrograde, because
(17:07):
we're double down.
No pun intended.
With the Venus Retrograde, whichis teaching us to reset our
money and reassess things.
So this is a time to review,revise, rethink about your life,
the people, places, and thingsin it, and give yourself time to
reset.
Renew and align body, mind, andspirit.
(17:36):
So I know this is a lot.
This is a lot of energies,right?
How do these energies worktogether?
And what more can you reallyexpect?
The eclipses, the Venusretrograde, the Mercury
retrograde, they all interactcollectively as you've been
listening.
It feels like a cosmic detox isthe one of the better ways to
(17:57):
describe it mentally,emotionally, and physically.
And because we've got theretrogrades, There's an aspect
of slow down.
But when we add in the eclipses,there's this bing bam boom kind
of energy that's also going tohappen.
So depending on where you're atand what's going on is going to
depend on if you're being askedto slow down or if the universe
(18:20):
is saying enough and we're justmaking changes.
Old wounds are definitelyresurfacing and they're not
resurfacing to torment you.
I promise you they'reresurfacing for healing.
They're popping up to say, hey,either A, we've avoided this, or
(18:40):
B, I know we really tried todeal with this before, but
there's still some stuff here weneed to deal with.
So I don't want you to have ameltdown and go, oh my god, this
is coming back again.
No.
I want you to go, well, holysmokes.
I guess I need to look into thisa little further.
There's a little bit more workfor me to do here.
You're not going backwards.
(19:01):
You're still moving forwards.
You're just like taking backanother layer of the onion, so
to speak.
Emotional highs and lows.
During these energies, witheverything going on, you are
going to have days of holy,amazing, inspired, fire under
your tail energy, to nearlyexhausted.
(19:24):
Now when we add in the solarflares and everything else going
on with the cosmic energies thathas been happening a lot This is
to be expected Go with the flowdo not fight it if you are
feeling I can't move Go laydown, have your Reiki music on,
have some meditation, lean intothat, allow the universe to do
(19:47):
the upgrades and work on youthat it needs.
The universe will put you downif you are not listening.
I always say when you're reallynot listening and you're making
plans and it's gone on longenough.
That's usually when, whathappens, we pull something, we
sprain something, the flu,whatever it is, the universe
will make sure that it can putyou down so that you will get
(20:11):
real honest with yourself and sothat you will hear the messages.
So again, it's easier just to gowith the flow.
You could be feeling pulled.
between reflection, which is theretrograde, and taking action,
which is the eclipses.
Again, I don't know any personthat isn't in between of this.
Again, our head and our heart,right?
(20:34):
Thinking about what was, whatcould be, versus you know what,
I just want to take inspiredaction and I just want to go for
it.
And then the retrogrades arelike, but do you?
And the eclipses are like, hellyeah I do! And you're like, mmm.
So that back and forth.
You're feeling all of this?
You're so energetically normaland aligned with what is going
(20:55):
on in the collective of theuniverse, of the astrology, of
it all.
You're fabulous.
You may feel torn between movingforward and holding back.
Why is that?
The Airy Solar Eclipse says GO!Get out of here, make the
(21:15):
changes, go for it.
And then you've got MercuryRetrograde that says, hey, wait
a minute, hey, over here, Ithink you forgot a few things,
right?
Trust the timing of theuniverse.
Trust the timing of yourmanifestations.
Write your journal, meditate,pull in the energies of what,
(21:39):
that feeling of what it isyou're desiring in your life,
and then release it and let theuniverse work on it behind the
scenes.
This isn't the time in thismoment right now where we're
going to see our whole livesunfold for us.
If you're like me, you've beentrying to make it happen.
Because even I'm like, I think Ican make a plan.
(21:59):
I think I can do this.
I think, and then I'm like, whatam I even trying to do right
now?
Like, what a waste of time.
It doesn't matter what I thinkor what I try to do.
It's not going to unfold untilthe eclipses are complete.
It's not going to really Moveforward energetically, really,
until we get into about themiddle of April, because we've
(22:20):
got it clear, even though thateclipse is going to happen next
week, we still need to finish upwith the Venus retrograde, and
we still need to complete theMercury retrograde, which
doesn't complete until themiddle of April, and then, we'll
see you then.
I know, I know, you're like, Ohmy God, Jennifer, where's the
happiness here?
There's still seven to 10 daysafter that of debris is what I
call it, where things are stillkind of shifting.
(22:41):
So what I'm saying is, and Iwant you to see this positive,
is today is the 20th.
It's the spring equinox.
Now through the middle of April,this is your time to focus on
you, your self care, coming intoalignment, body, mind, and
spirit.
Get your journal, write down thesigns that you're receiving,
write down the thoughts thatyou're having.
It's just not the time to takeaction yet, because so much is
(23:03):
still going to change in thecoming few weeks here.
So by writing things down inthat journal, by keeping track
of things, come the middle ofApril, you can look back and you
can go, okay, that had weight toit.
That didn't, that was just a flyby night idea.
I don't know where that camefrom.
And so on and so forth.
So that you again are working inflow.
(23:23):
You're setting yourself upcorrectly with divine timing
with the universe.
Because that's what we want.
We want to be in divine flow.
We want to be in alignment.
We can't keep it every moment ofevery day.
That would be amazeballs, right?
But we can do our darn best,especially during this wild,
most amazing energetic timethat's really helping us to
(23:45):
cleanse, clear, and reset.
What else is coming in?
You're like wait more fadedevents and divine redirection
relationships career shiftsunexpected endings and New
beginnings with every door thatcloses.
(24:05):
There's a new door that opensWhat seems like a setback in
this moment is actually a cosmicreroot It is a cosmic blessing.
It is a cosmic sense ofprotection that is setting you
up to quantum leap you into thisnext high vibrational level that
(24:25):
you are being asked, truly, tolevel up to.
So, again, how do we navigateall of this with ease, with
grace and ease, I like to say,because, you know, it's a little
crazy, it's a little bat shitcrazy, you know, there's,
there's no harm in saying it.
We're gonna have some fun withit, right?
Ground your energy daily.
(24:45):
Is that movement?
Is that Pilates?
Is that yoga?
Is that meditation?
Is that breath work?
Ground your energy.
It is so, so, so important rightnow.
Slow down when needed.
Take action when you'reinspired.
Trust the universe is working inyour favor.
(25:07):
The universe has your back.
The universe already knows howthis is unfolding.
The universe, God, the angels,they're sitting back, their feet
are up, they're having a greatsunny day going, what's them all
worrying?
What are they so worried about?
Don't they trust us?
Don't they know that we havetheir highest and best good and
(25:30):
interest at heart here?
Coming back to the heart.
This is our time to reset, tocome in alignment with God.
