This may also have come with disturbed sleep, cravings for sweets, salty foods, or larger amounts of food, and other minor discomforts that should now gradually begin to fade.

You may also — especially under the influence of Mercury retrograde — have begun to question certain things.

Perhaps you suddenly realized that you want to approach certain aspects of your life differently, that some habits are not healthy for you, or that certain things need to be reorganized.

So quite a lot is moving, even if it still feels as though nothing is happening at all.

A great deal of invisible growth is taking place, which will gradually become more visible later this year.

The period in March leading up to the Spring Equinox is always a time of continuous realignment, as if you are internally preparing to take new steps in the spring — to begin making concrete the changes that are now still living in your mind (and in your heart).

So for now, it is a matter of having a little patience, and trying to focus on what truly matters to you. Take time to clarify your priorities, while also allowing yourself as much relaxation as possible.

Do the things you truly enjoy, that make you happy. Spend time with people with whom you can share that joy. And allow yourself to fully enjoy the beauty and splendor of the awakening nature around you.

Just like you, after a long winter’s sleep, opening the windows again, taking a deep breath, and stepping back out into the world — with hope, courage, and the enthusiasm to move forward.
