March Comes in Like a Lion
This line from an old madrigal has been going through my mind for the past two weeks and finally prompted me to look at the March calendar. My goodness! March is a month full of energy, the potential for change, action and the confusion that often accompanies changes on a Universal Consciousness level.
Look at the calendar for March.
March 5 – Super Tuesday – primary elections in 16 states.
March 10 – Ramadan begins
Daylight Savings – “spring forward”. Face the sunrise and sunset for 2-3 days to help reset your circadian rhythm.
March 17 – Saint Patrick’s Day
March 19 – Spring Equinox – Celebrate the beginning of spring and the end of winter.
March 23 – March 24 – Purim – A joyous Jewish festival commemorating the survival of the Jews who were marked for death by the Persian rulers in the 5th century BRE.
March 24 – Palm Sunday
March 28 – Maundy Thursday – ends Lent which began on February 14th.
March 29 – Good Friday
March 31 – Easter Sunday.
March is a month when people gather to fast or feast, celebrate or mourn. Many will be tossed about emotionally and spiritually, like leaves in a strong wind, or small boats on a fractious sea. We will all be navigating a diversity of strong emotions, long-held beliefs, and physical, psychic and spiritual energies, all of which have their roots in a far-distant past, which each of these events bring to the forefront of our lives.
Is it any wonder many people find themselves confused, upset, fragmented in their thinking, or clinging for dear life to their pre-conceived, old and familiar ideas, afraid of change, and of divergent ideas or practices.
I find it interesting that in all three of these very different religious observances, one of the practices is to share what you have with those who have less.
My suggestion for maintaining your self-ness in this month filled with spiritual and physical potential for change? Enjoy the spiritual and social celebrations and events with which you are comfortable, and comforted. Be present to them, enjoy the traditions, and let them serve you as part of the shift from 3rd to 5th Dimension Consciousness.
Be kind to others and accepting of their beliefs and practices. Remember that, while there may be a diversity of spiritual and political practices, there is truly only Love (or Light, by whatever it may be called or experienced). Remember that diversity of Life is what keeps us all alive in our lives! It is the spice and the richness from which we all benefit.
So let the winds of change blow, the passions of belief roar and, like the lady in the tarot card VIII – Strength, harness them with the chains of Love and Kindness, so you, too, may bring the harmony and the power of feminine potential into manifestation.
Blessings, Charlotte
