Mindfulness Monday: Learning to Feel, Speak & Love Again

Keep an open mind and heart.

We’re deep in the heart of retrograde season, and though it might feel like we’re treading water, there’s powerful healing available if we slow down and listen.

Venus is still retrograde until April 12th, inviting us to revisit the way we relate to love, beauty, and self-worth. Starting in Aries, she lit the fire of desire, independence, and bold expression—only to drift backward into Pisces, where love dissolves, softens, and remembers the sacred.

Mercury retrograde, active from March 14 to April 6, also started in Aries and has slipped into Pisces. This double dip into fire and water asks us to review how we speak, think, and feel—how we process truth, and where we've silenced or rushed our intuition.

Once direct, both planets return to Aries, giving us a chance to move forward with clarity, courage, and deeper compassion.

Today’s Moon in Taurus brings us a chance to rest in the body, to ground in the Earth, and to tend to the quiet power of our inner feminine.

Let’s explore what these energies are trying to show us.

Journal Questions:

1. What truth did Aries light up in me—and how have Pisces’ waters helped me feel or reframe that truth with softness and soul?(Reflect on a recent situation that triggered both fire and emotion. What wisdom can you now see with clearer eyes?)

2. Where am I being called to speak up, set a boundary, or reignite a passion—but in a new, more emotionally intelligent way?(This is the retrograde gift: to rewrite the script with intention.)

3. What helps me feel safe, grounded, and connected to my feminine energy—especially when the world feels chaotic or uncertain?(Let Taurus guide you back to your senses, your body, your breath.)
