Welcome to Empowered Within, a soul quenching, transformational podcast that will set your soul on fire through candid and inspiring conversations. Leading experts, celebrities, healers, and I share our journeys of how we've overcome challenges to living an empowered life from within. I'm your host, Jennifer Pilates. Welcome to another episode of Empowered Within. Well, hello, beautiful souls. And welcome to another cosmic episode of Empowered Within. If you've been feeling a little out of sorts lately, maybe some mood swings, strange dreams, emotional roller coasters, you're not. Imagining it. The cosmos are stirring up some serious magic in March. Well, it's bringing one of the most potent energetic shifts of this entire year. So you might want to buckle up because we're about to dive into the powerful full moon lunar eclipse in Virgo, which is the 13th and 14th of this month. Yep. We're going to talk about the Mercury retrograde madness, the lingering effects of the Venus retrograde. And let's not forget about the solar eclipse in Aries on March 29th. Oh, and the equinox, God bless the equinox. And how. You can harness these energies for transformation. Both of these eclipses are major energetic resets, bringing endings, beginnings, and breakthroughs. So grab your favorite grounding crystals, take a deep breath, and let's dive in to what this means for you this month. The Eclipse Gateway is open! Eclipses are karmic accelerators, hitting the reset button on our lives and pushing us into alignment with our soul's purpose. The universe isn't playing small here. It's guiding us towards big revelations and massive energetic shifts. The total lunar eclipse in Virgo is March 13th and 14th depending on what area of the world you're living in. This total lunar eclipse in Virgo is all about purging, refining, and resetting. Virgo's energy is meticulous, detailed, orientated, and always striving for improvement. But when an eclipse lands in this sign, it illuminates the areas where we've been stuck in perfectionism, overthinking, and control. Any of that ringing a bell? So let's look at what's being highlighted. Where are you clinging to outdated habits or routines? How is perfectionism blocking your flow? Where do you need to clear mental, emotional, and physical clutter? Here are some practical ways to work with this energy. Easy peasy. Declutter your space. Your outer world mirrors your inner world. Let go of anything that's draining your energy. When you've got piles of stuff everywhere around you, it's like piles of stuff in your brain. There's no clarity. There's no clear thinking. So, declutter everything. Open the drawers. Get it going. Open the windows. Open the doors. Cleanse and clear. Set boundaries, protect your time and energy from what no longer serves you. Whether that's people, places, or things. Prioritize self care and nervous system regulation. Virgo rules your health and wellness, so listen to what your body needs. This eclipse is a wake up call. It's time to cleanse. It's time to simplify and align your daily life With your highest self, if you've been stuck on autopilot, the universe, well, the universe is hitting a huge reset. Get ready because it's coming. We've got a Mercury retrograde and Venus retrograde, the plot twist. As if an eclipse wasn't enough, Mercury, ruler of Virgo, goes retrograde on March 15th, lasting until Monday, April 7th. This is not the time for rushed decisions or major commitments. Instead, it's a cosmic invitation to pause, reflect, and realign. And let's not forget Venus, the planet of love, money, beauty, and values. Venus has been in retrograde and will remain there until April 12th. Two personal planets in retrograde at the same time. Oh my loves, this is no ordinary shift. This is cosmic realignment at its finest. Mercury retrograde in Aries, the firestorm of clarity and chaos. Mercury is about to backtrack in fiery Aries, which means this is not your average retrograde. Aries energy is direct, fast paced, and bold. But Mercury retrograde slows things down, rewinds conversations, and forces us to review rather than charge ahead. So, what can you expect? Definitely miscommunications that feel a little heated, perhaps. Expect tech glitches, travel mishaps, and delays that definitely will be testing your patience. Old arguments resurfacing, people from the past coming back for closure, or perhaps round two. A deeper reassessment of your voice, your confidence, and the way you go after what you want. All of these things can come up during this Mercury retrograde. The key advice here, slow down, double check everything, read the fine print, and don't let the fiery energy push you into any hasty decisions. This isn't the time for action. This is the time to sit, review, revise, and rethink. Our beautiful Venus retrograde. Oh, she's going to be there till April 12th. Love, money, and self worth revisions. Venus retrograde means we're in deep reflection mode when it comes to relationships, finances, and how we truly value ourselves. If old flames have been popping up, you've been questioning your relationship dynamics, blame Venus. If you've been re evaluating your spending habits, investments, or self worth again, well then you can thank Venus. During this Venus retrograde, this is a time where past lovers or friendships may resurface. Be mindful though of why they're back. Financial shake ups or unexpected expenses, Are you being called to shift your money mindset? A re evaluation of beauty and self image? Are you embracing your authentic self? Or have you been seeking validation externally? What does this mean for all of us? This retrograde period is a true cosmic reset. While it may feel a little frustrating here and there, these transits are actually here to help us pause. reflect, and realign with our highest paths. So, how to navigate this retrograde energy like a cosmic queen or king? Here we go, are you ready? Slow down and reflect. Don't rush into any decisions. Mercury is literally asking you to review and pause before taking any action. Expect delays. If things don't go as planned, take a deep breath and trust the divine timing. Be mindful with your communication. Think before you speak, because Aries energy can make words sharper than intended. Reconnect with past lessons. If something from the past resurfaces, ask yourself, what's the deeper meaning here? Love and money check in. Venus is helping you realign with what truly matters. Are you honoring? This double retrograde isn't here to break you. It's here to empower you. If something is being stripped away or delayed, trust that it's happening for a reason. The universe is guiding you to a more authentic, aligned, and empowered version of yourself. We have a solar eclipse in Aries, March 29th. Ready to ignite something new? Because this solar eclipse in Aries is bringing the fire! Aries is ruled by Mars, the warrior planet, meaning this eclipse is here to awaken boldness, courage, and decisive action. What are some of the themes? Personal leadership. Where are you ready to step up and take control? Transformation and courage. This energy pushes you out of your comfort zone. New beginnings and fresh starts. This is a potent time for planting seeds for the future. Where this energy is about to hit us all the hardest. Confidence and assertiveness. If you've been holding back, the universe is Definitely giving you a nudge, or should we say a shove, to go for it. Karmic action. This eclipse brings clarity on what you truly want and what has been holding you back. Emotional and psychological truths. You can't run from your truth anymore. The cosmos are revealing what's been hidden so that you can align with your highest path. There is a family and heritage spotlight that's coming up. This eclipse could bring major realizations around your family, past, or upbringing. You may gain insight into generational patterns, heal family wounds, or feel drawn to explore your roots. Some may experience shifts in home life, real estate, or domestic matters. Ancestral healing themes may emerge calling for a deeper connection to your lineage. And this has been going on collectively for some time now, so definitely lean in if that's something that you've been called to or something that you're just feeling in alignment with.
