Eclipse Season & Mercury Retrograde: Just Feel 🤍

This is my new way of sharing — thoughts on what is moving above us, and what it awakens below. Each post comes with a painting that inspired me.

Unfortunately I came down with a heavy flu, still recovering, and my brain didn't work (maybe also blaming Mercury Retrograde here). I just couldn't check in with the energy of the Full Moon and create a post for you.

What came up were the following words or themes: Ending & New Beginnings, Healing from the Past, Letting Go of Patterns that No Longer Serve You.

But with the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon behind us — which happened on Tuesday, March 3 — we are still in eclipse season.

Instead of giving journal prompts and rituals, I was thinking: what if we take a moment to look back, turn inward, and simply feel. Just feel.

This aligns with both the Sun and Mercury Retrograde in Pisces.

This period asks us not to force anything, not to do more, but to slow down. To connect with our feelings and intuition.

What is hidden, that is rising to the surface? What comes up in your dreams lately? What is your body trying to tell you that your mind keeps pushing away?

Pisces speaks to us in different ways — in subtle and eternal ways: through dreams, feelings, intuition, inner voices, quiet knowing.

So can you listen? Can you trust what you hear, feel, know?

Trust is the keyword here.

Trusting your own ability to receive.

If listening to your inner voice has always been difficult for you, this Mercury Retrograde may actually be helping you. The usual ways of communicating are disrupted — and in that disruption, new ways open up. Softer ways. Slower ways.

It is up to you to listen. To trust. To take a moment to hear what is meant for you.

I'm sending you love from my couch, tissues and all.

With love, Ella
