🦂🌝 The Moon is in Scorpio & making its way to peak fullness today at 10:22am on Bealtaine, marking the mid-point between the Spring Equinox & Summer Solstice. It's peak Spring energy & an opportunity to release what's holding you back from blossoming & growing.

There's an intensity in the air. Pluto (the God of the Underworld) is one of Scorpio's rulers & helps us surrender to the process of transformation. It's in Aquarius right now & creating a hard angle with this Full Moon.

It will help us go deep into all the muck of what we've been avoiding or deep within our subconscious to unearth what we don't know is there, return it to the Earth to compost, & bring nourishment to what's next in your life to grow. With Pluto's help, we can journey into our underworld & take the dark stuff of our life and learn to surrender & transform it into empowerment & wisdom.

The Scorpio Full Moon brings the Metal element of Autumn & its themes of surrender & letting go into Spring. As we tend to our gardens now, we have to get everything tidied up for optimal growth to occur. If we don't intentionally remove what's no longer needed, there isn't space for the new growth & our vision can be impacted.

I was reminded of this in my own garden. Several of our beautiful lilacs only produced a few blossoms this year because we didn't prune the dead blossoms from last year.

We can't fully bloom into our majestic nature if we're full of old stuff we no longer need.

The Full Moon acupuncture pattern connects deeply with Spring's Wood energy & the depths of Scorpio's Water element & surrendering. It inspires you to...

🌸 Connect with your element & nature. Have confidence to leave behind what's no longer needed & put your goals into action

🌸 Shed old wood & allow your true vision to emerge

🌸 Gain perspective from above to see your way home & put your dreams into action

🌸 Grow filled with order, purpose, harmony, & balance

🌸 Feel calm, stability from Mother Earth & receive ancestral insight, vision, & protection.

True healing happens when we learn to hold space for the parts of us that still ache, meeting them with love instead of fear. It’s not about rushing the process or avoiding the pain. It’s about creating safety within, even for the pieces of us that still feel tender.

💛 Can you offer yourself that kind of compassion today?

Let's Take a Breath...Aries Fire is Building

The world feels like so much right now. This week's energy really stoked the fire. By the time the Aries New Moon arrives early Friday morning, the Sun, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Neptune, and Chiron will all be in Aries, creating a rare stellium (or cluster of planets). It's kind of a big deal and hasn't happened since the 800s.

Aries is new beginning energy. It's the spark, initiation, action, and bursting forth. It's potential and gives us courage to take action & make bold moves forward. It rules the head, is a fire sign, and ruled by Mars (the God of War).

With all that energy in Aries, you may be experiencing more irritability, frustration, short temperedness, and headaches. And, the wind this week could have you still feeling really airy and like you have wind moving inside you. Dizziness, palpitations, and insomnia are all symptoms that could be activated.

Chiron & the Aries New Moon come within a degree of each other. Chiron is the thread of pain that runs through our lives and our spiritual scar tissue. It's been in Aries for the last 7 years and supporting us to release old contracts & patterns limiting us and keeping us from being our fullest self. How has your self-care, self-worth, and showing up for yourself changed?

Their close proximity is asking you to have courage to look at your wounding...the scar tissue that keeps you from being fully you. What's the root of your suffering and what is the medicine that will help you heal? What are you so tired of experiencing that's been life-long? With so many planetary bodies in Aries with Chiron, there may be an extra charge or urgency to loosen that knot & unravel the pain thread. It's time to be free.

The Acupuncture pattern that I created for the Aries New Moon on Friday connects with your origins, the root of your spirit, and the root of your pain & suffering.

🌬️ How'd you enjoy the boisterous wind & sun today? It was wild.

My anxiety was kicked up for no apparent reason, which happens for me on super windy spring days. I seem to feel the wind even when I'm inside.

Today was different, though. The wind seemed to be calling me, so I bundled up and went down to Sunlight Beach. It was SO windy, but it seemed to be just what I needed. Whether it was being near the water that nourishes & grounds me or the wind blowing the anxiety right out of me, my soul was settled by the time I returned home.

Spring can bring wild seasonal symptoms. Like...

🌸 anxiety
🌸 vertigo or dizziness
🌸 allergies
🌸 fatigue, low energy, or exhaustion
🌸 neck stiffness or pain
🌸 headaches
🌸 irritability, frustration, or anger
🌸 waking up between 1-3am
🌸 headaches or migraines
🌸 uncertain about what's next
🌸 lack of vision for next steps

I created a Spring Cleaning pattern to support our body, mind, and soul during the seasonal changes but also during these challenging times. I'm offering it as Seasonal Community Acupuncture and Private Seasonal sessions.

✨ For the first time, I'll be accepting walk-in clients for these seasonal community sessions this month. I highly recommend scheduling in advance, but if you're in Freeland and feel like stopping by, please do.

🌱 Wednesday, March 25th, 12-1:30
🌱 Saturday, March 28th, 1-2

The points support all 5 elements with a focus on supporting the Liver & Gallbladder; Spring cleaning to clear out the rubbish to make space for balance, harmony, and new insights; and finding your own inner qualities of love & care.

Libra Full Moon Community Acupuncture next Wednesday, 4/1. Appointments available at 1:30, 6, & 7:30

🌬️ Spring isn't just allergy season. It's neck-and-shoulder season.

Wind externally. Stress internally.
Both tighten the same tissues.

If you’re waking up with:
🌬️ A stiff neck
🌬️Pain turning your head
🌬️ Shoulder tension that won’t stretch out
🌬️Headaches creeping up from the base of your skull
..then you may be experiencing the impacts of Spring energy or wind.

In Chinese Medicine, wind invades the upper body first. Add laptop posture and pressure at work, and the Gallbladder channel locks down fast.

Heat helps. A scarf helps. Topicals help.

✨ But regulation fixes the pattern.

Most people feel noticeable relief quickly — often within a session. And after a series?

✨ Your body is far less reactive to tight neck triggers.

If your neck is running your week, book your appointment or free 30-minute consult via the link in bio...or text Vanessa at 512-934-1917.

There's no reason to muscle through it and miss out on the sunshine when it shines through on Whidbey.

✨ 🐟 🌚 Join me tomorrow, Wednesday, 3/18, for the Pisces New Moon. 🐟 🌚 ✨

The Pisces Moon Cycle Acupuncture pattern will connect to Spring (the Wood element/Liver & Gallbladder) Becoming energy and give roots & growth to all of the depth from Pisces.

It will inspire...

☘️ Connecting with ancestral wisdom, unity, & oneness. Tranquility & calm allowing your own inner wisdom to emerge.
☘️ The warmth & love that you need to shine through, feel resourced, stable, & whole. Joyful sunlight filling the Heart with nourishment & love from above.
☘️ Establishing the roots of your Spirit to flourish & grow.
☘️ Stabilizing & grounding your vision. Security + nourishment = energy & confidence.
☘️ Letting go to become Who You Are...Spring cleaning creating space to become.
☘️ Your Earthen bowl being made whole again to feel love & care, opening to receive it all.
☘️ Your spirit receiving the dreams & vision you need. What needs to grow & develop?
☘️ Supports the Crown, 3rd Eye, Throat, Heart, and Root chakras and all 5 Elements.

Slow down. Listen. Feel. What is your intuition and dreams communicating?

We'll be using Roman Chamomile on several points. It's a great oil for Spring and Pisces. It helps calm the need to control. Our Heart is reassured that it can let go. The tight grasp relaxes, which calms the Liver and soothes the Heart. We can finally see a new direction, revealing the bigger picture and connection with the Universe.

This is a powerful time to pause and connect with who you're Becoming.

Pisces New Moon...Endings in the Becoming 🐟🌚 - https://mailchi.mp/e81ee23ed6c6/pisces-new-moon-wednesday I know that I've been talking about letting go, shedding, & endings for the last 3+ months, but guess what? Here we go again. This is the final push. We have a few more days to really tidy up any loose ends & let go of storylines we've been itching to end. These endings will breathe the life into your becoming. 📷:An egg-like glow of the Virgo Full Moon, illuminating a feather. What incubating dreams or visions are ready to Become for you?

❄️ Winter has Returned...an Opportunity to Embody Resilience ❄️

Winter has returned...at least for a few days. Did you get snow where you are? I miss the Colorado snow, but happily gave it up for our more moderate weather here on Whidbey. I do love when we get a little taste here. Hopefully, our beautiful spring flowers will bounce back. It's an opportunity to look to their embodiment of resilience for inspiration navigating our own challenging times.

As I shared earlier in the week, these changing weather patterns and transitioning into Spring can bring seasonal symptoms that really bring you down, instead of feeling uplifted. Like...

🌸 allergies
🌸 fatigue, low energy, or exhaustion
🌸 neck stiffness or pain
🌸 headaches
🌸 irritability, frustration, or anger
🌸 waking up between 1-3am
🌸 headaches or migraines
🌸 uncertain about what's next
🌸 lack of vision for next steps

I created a Spring Cleaning pattern to support our body, mind, and soul during the seasonal changes but also during these challenging times. I'm offering it as Seasonal Community Acupuncture and 1:1 sessions.

✨ For the first time, I'll be accepting walk-in clients for these seasonal community sessions this month. I highly recommend scheduling in advance, but if you're in Freeland and feel like stopping by, please do.

🌱 Wednesday, March 25th, 12-1:30
🌱 Saturday, March 14th & 28th, 1-2:30; 21st 12-1

The points support all 5 elements with a focus on supporting the Liver & Gallbladder; Spring cleaning to clear out the rubbish to make space for balance, harmony, and new insights; and finding your own inner qualities of love & care.

What do you need to spring clean in these last days before the Pisces New Moon on Wednesday and Spring Equinox on the 21st?

Watch for an email in a few days with more information about the Pisces New Moon Community Acupuncture session on Wednesday. Appointments available at 1:30, 6, & 7:30
