February 27, 2025 – March 29, 2025

We have been trying to create a new, different, and better experience of life since 2020. However, it has been very difficult — and after five years of trying almost everything and still not getting there yet, we are at a complete loss for what to do next to move into this better experience.

Last lunar month in Aquarius, we realized that the only thing we have not tried yet to move forward into this better experience is quite literally doing nothing (or, at least, very little), having fun, and just trusting that a higher power will help us out to manifest something positive soon.

Well this lunar month, we realize that even though that is a good idea (read: the only idea we have left), we are still struggling to fully allow ourselves to rest, relax, have fun, and trust. We still feel like we should be doing more work and expending more effort in order to progress, which is preventing this new and better experience from coming in.

We also realize that the reason why we are struggling to rest and trust is, yes — of course, because our situation is still precarious and hasn’t improved yet — but, more importantly, because we do not feel worthy of good things unless we do a lot in order to deserve it. We also realize that another reason we are struggling to rest and trust is because we don’t feel confident good things can happen easily FOR OURSELVES as individuals in particular (even though, sure, maybe it can happen for everyone else.)

As a result, we spend this entire lunar month, doing the inner work in order to adjust our sense of self so that we no longer feel like we HAVE to do a lot of work in order to EARN good things (because blessings are not something you always have to earn). We also spend this entire lunar month doing the inner work so that we can be more open to receive good things, without complicating the matter or pushing new and better things away.

It is a little difficult to get through our heads at certain points this month, especially because we think it does not logically make sense that good things can happen without as much effort (even though there is a worldview in which it does). We may also have moments where we fall backwards into forcing our situation, over-extending ourselves, and proving our worth.

However, by the end of the month, we do, in fact, begin to feel more worthy of good things without needing to prove that we are — and we begin to adjust our mindset accordingly. As a result, some inner healing begins to occur. Some old things from the past we no longer need also begin to fall away so that something else that is better can be born right around the corner — next lunar month after the solar eclipse in Aries!

That is because the new and better experience of life we have been trying to get to since 2020 was always right at our fingertips, if only we stopped trying to push it away and just allowed it to come to us naturally and easily instead.

Explore this lunar month’s four major moon phases below.

New Moon in Pisces

Becoming more open to receive ease and joy

February 27 – March 6, 2025

This week, our mind is racing, and we are feeling a bit confused about how best to proceed in life. But as a result of this confusion, we realize that we are still trying to manifest progress and change too much, putting an undue amount of stress on ourselves. We also realize that the reason why we are still trying to do too many things is because we don’t feel confident something better will manifest, and don’t believe we are worthy of good things if we do not expend a lot of effort in order to get it. As a result, we realize that we need to do some inner work in order to become more open to ease, stop trying to earn blessings, and be more able to receive a different experience. This is good. However, it feels a bit difficult to do or accept because it is not something we are used to.

First Quarter Moon in Gemini

Committing to surrender and ease

March 6-14, 2025

We begin to adjust our emotions so that we feel more confident and worthy of ease in our lives (and are no longer pushing our situation, putting too much pressure on ourselves, and feeling like we have to prove our worth). We also begin to release more control of anything in our lives that feels unresolved (so that a higher power can resolve it). It is helping us to feel a bit more grounded in our situation and approach our lives very differently. However, we don’t feel fully comfortable yet with this new approach. As a result, we realize that we need to make a conscious effort or decision to surrender and release control than before, since it is working, instead of waiting for it to feel natural.

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo

Letting go of work, effort, and striving

March 14-22, 2025

We are beginning to surrender and be at ease more than ever before. However, now our logical mind is struggling to come to terms with our situation and the things we have recently realized. We do not logically understand how doing very little is going to help our situation at all, even though we are getting more used to it. That makes us feel a bit confused. It may also throw us back into habits like over-working or pushing our situation too hard. From that confusion, however, we begin to realize that we need to think differently about our situation than we were before. We either need to suspend logical thinking for the time being, or expand our logical awareness to include a mindset where we understand that rest and surrender IS productive!

Mercury retrograde starts in Aries (Sat., March 15, 2025) — 9 degrees

Third Quarter Moon in Capricorn

Making space for the new

March 22-29, 2025

We finally begin to shift our mindset to be more conducive to rest and ease (without all the pressure to act and perform). It is still a bit uncomfortable, but we have more awareness around our challenges with this new approach. As a result, it is starting to come more easily and naturally to us. We are beginning to understand just how important rest and ease is to our situation. Because we are resting and releasing control, many old situations from our past that have been difficult are now also healing or resolving themselves on their own with little effort. In their place, something new and better (we have been working towards for a while) begins to be born little by little, which will makes itself more known next lunar month and onwards.

You do not have to prove that you are worthy of good things in order for good things to happen to you.

It symbolizes the urge for spiritual connection, creativity, and the potential for both transcendence and illusion.

Questions for Reflection

You can answer these questions to yourself, in your journal, or in the comment section.

1. What have you been trying to change for the better in your life since 2020?

2. What still has not changed for the better since 2020 to actually manifest this better experience?

3. How would you feel if you literally did nothing to move your situation forward, and instead just trusted that something better would occur very soon?

4. Why do you think you would feel the way you listed above for doing nothing and trusting?

5. Does your desire to do more in order to fix your situation come from a place of passion and excitement — or fear and lack?

6. Do you feel as though you have to do more in your current situation in order to be worthy of good things happening to you? Why? (Yes, sometimes action is required to make good things manifest, but that is not always the case.)

7. Do you feel as though not doing anything to move your situation forward would make you less worthy of good things, or a bad and incompetent person? Why?

8. Do you believe good things only happen to people who work hard for them? Or do you believe that good things can happen to people who don’t work hard because good things are more a matter of luck and timing? Why?

9. Do you believe good things can also happen to you with little effort when the luck and timing is right? Why?

10. Which thoughts, ideas, and beliefs might you need to change in order to let yourself rest and be at ease in your situation?
