Balancing the Heart Chakra During Venus Retrograde
by Tanaaz | ForeverConscious



As Venus the planet of love continues through her retrograde cycle until September 6th, 2015, there is no better time for clearing out and rebalancing the heart chakra.


The heart chakra rules compassion, generosity, trust, openness, self love and also romantic love.
With Venus retrograde, chances are issues in these areas may have been creeping into your life, reminding you that they need addressing or clearing.


Because the heart chakra is also the center of your energy system, these issues may have been weighing on other areas of your life and perhaps you have even noticed a discourse between needing, wanting and receiving.


As the center of your energy system, the heart chakra really acts as a mediator between your lower and higher chakras.


The lower or earth based chakras are often about groundedness, security, needs and wants, whereas your higher chakras are more about receiving, self love and the connection to spirit.


Perhaps since Venus has been retrograde you may have been feeling a pull between these two areas of your life and perhaps you have felt off balance with your needs and desires and actually receiving them.


Aside from being the keeper of energy, the heart chakra is also where we connect to our source or our soul. From this place we receive our life force, our zest, our passions and our sense of balance and peace.


A lot of the time we can loose this connection, especially as we enter into some of the heavy lessons that Venus may be trying to stir within us as she moves retrograde.


When your heart chakra is out of balance it usually manifests as:


-Being emotionally closed off or feeling the need to push others away
-Inability to receive abundance, support or help from others
-Being overly critical of yourself and others
-Blaming others or feeling a sense of superiority
-Pushing away others out of fear of rejection or being hurt
-Being out of touch with your emotional state of mind
-Losing trust in the state of humanity and the world
-Feeling withdrawn or isolated from others
-Feeling out of touch with your passions or life
-Self-hatred or hatred for others
-Feeling overrun with fears and anxiety
-Holding on out of fear of loss or being alone


If any of these are resonating with you, chances are you are in need of a re-balance to your heart chakra and a clearing out of old, stagnant energy.


The good news is that you have the power and the innate knowledge to heal your heart charka yourself. Here’s how:


1. Attend To Your Needs


What do you truly desire for yourself? Sometimes it can be so easy to go along with what others want or fall into patterns of peer pressure. Really take the time to ask yourself what it is that you truly want and start to become firmer in your intentions.


Sit down with a pen and paper and write down a few answers to the following questions- “What do I really want for my life?” and “What is important for me today?” Review your answers and try to create more of what you want in your life starting now.


You may also want to use the following affirmation:


“All of my needs are being taken care of by the Divine Universe. I trust this open myself to the flow of the Universe, knowing that my needs are always being met in perfect timing.”

2. Release Blame
Our heart chakra can become blocked when we start projecting our emotions onto others instead of looking within.


Everything that happens to you is a reflection of your own inner state so there is no need to pass blame. No matter what you feel a victim to, releasing blame allows you to take your power back and brings your emotions and a solution into your control.


You have no control over what others do or the events around you, the only thing you can control is your internal state. Remembering this allows you to release the blame and take responsibility for your own energy.


Here is an affirmation that may support you:


“I release my burdens, my blame and my victim mindset and I understand that everything in this life has a higher purpose to teach me. Through releasing blame I take my power back and understand that I am a powerful manifestor and co-creator of my destiny.”


3. Acceptance and Forgiveness


When you bring acceptance to a situation you automatically introduce a space for forgiveness. Forgiveness is a powerful healing tool that can really help to open your heart chakra and to mend traumas from your past.


No matter how bad the situation, bringing acceptance allows you to really deal with your thoughts and emotions and brings any arising issues to the surface. Through acceptance you can also start to work through any stagnant emotions.


Remember, forgiving is not about saying that what happened was ok, it is about accepting what happened and only through acceptance can you truly heal.


How does it change your outlook to simply accept what is? How does your internal dialogue or your thoughts about the situation change when you just accept?


4. Look into the Mirror


Every soul lesson in this life can all be traced back to learning how to love yourself. When you truly love yourself you step into a higher frequency where miracles, destiny and the Divine all flow.


To really reach this place you have to be able to look into the mirror on a daily basis and tell yourself- “I love you”.


Place your hand over your heart, look deep into your eyes as you gaze in the mirror and repeat- “I love you”. Repeat it till you feel it and then repeat it some more. Pay attention to what emotions or resistance arises as you do this exercise.


This powerful practice instantly helps to raise your vibration and opens your heart chakra.


5. Respond with Compassion


When you remember that everyone is just doing their best with what they know, it allows you to bring in a sense of compassion and understanding. By no means do you want to be a doormat, but at the same time bringing compassion into the situation can really allow you to see things from a different viewpoint.


Ask yourself is there a way you can be kinder? Is there a way you can bring some light and loving energy into your life or into the situation? There is always room for love, there is always room for compassion, sometimes you just need to work to put it there.


Your heart chakra runs on Love, so by providing it with more loving thoughts, words and deeds you can truly fire it back into balance.


6. Pink Flowers and Rose Quartz


Pink and green are the colours of the heart chakra and flowers are the hearts of Mother Earth. By bringing some pink flowers into your life you can start surrounding yourself in a more positive environment for healing. You can also make a bath filled with pink rose petals and other flowers to help evoke healing.


Rose Quartz is also a powerful stone for healing the heart chakra as it helps to rebalance and refocus your energy.


Place your Rose quartz crystal over your heart while meditating or wear a pendant close to your chest in order to align with the vibration of the gemstone.


7. Heart Chakra Ritual & Meditation


This ritual is a great exercise if you are looking to deeply heal and open your heart charka.


You will need: a pink or white candle, a piece of rose quartz, a bowl of water, a pink or red flower and/or rose essential oil and a pen and paper.


Directions:


1.) Find a quiet space where you absolutely cannot be disturbed.


2.) Take a few deep breaths in and out in order to relax your mind.


3.) Placing your hand over your heart breathe here deeply for a moment until your thoughts settle.
4.) Take your pen and paper and write down your intention for your ritual, for example: “I intend to clear and release any blockages from my heart chakra caused by my fears surrounding my partner.”
5.) Fold the piece of paper and place it under your piece of rose quartz.


6.) Light your candle and take three deep breaths, allowing your intention to sink in (you may also want to repeat your attention aloud or to yourself.)


7.) When you feel ready, begin my reciting the following affirmation (please feel free to tailor it for your own situation or feelings)-


“I release all of the blocks surrounding my heart and my energy moving forward. With every breath I release the burdens that my heart has had to carry. With every passing moment, my breath will carry away the fear, pain and stagnant energy that surrounds my heart. These that no longer serve me will be carried up to the heavens where they will be released. Anything that I no longer need will be released into the heavens in order to be purged and released.”


8.) Take a few deep breaths imagining all your fears, burdens and pains being taken away into the heavens.


9.) When you feel ready, begin reciting the following affirmation:


“Now that the heavens have accepted and taken away my burdens I feel an openness, a lightness and a trust. I allow love back into my life, I allow compassion back into my life, I allow myself to trust and know that I am being supported and carried by mother Divine. I love myself, I love all those around me and I know I live in a loving world. I am love and for now and forever I return to the state and the vibration of love.” (Again, feel free to edit this for your needs).


10.) Take a few deep breaths allowing this to sink in and then place the flower or a few drops of rose essential oil into the water.


11.) Hold the bowl of water in your hands while reciting “I am Love.” Using your fingertips dab a few drops of the water over your heart center as a way to protect and purify your heart chakra opening.


12.) End the ritual with a thank you prayer to the Universe. To close the ritual, blow out the candle, pour the water into the garden and take the paper straight out of the house into the recycling can.
There is a real calling for all of us to open our heart charkas and bring more love, compassion and understanding into the world. Understand that as you open your heart charka you also help to effect the world and those around you in a positive and loving way.


Love is truly the Universal healer.

“Intuitive Astrology: New Moon Solar Eclipse February 2017” ~ TANAAZ (Forever Conscious)

“Intuitive Astrology: New Moon Solar Eclipse February 2017” ~ TANAAZ (Forever Conscious)


The New Moon Solar Eclipse falls in the intuitive and watery sign of Pisces on February 26th.


This Solar Eclipse is the first of the year and is going to set the tone and energy for the months ahead. In fact, whatever energy transpires on this Eclipse is likely to create a theme that will last until the next Solar Eclipse on August 21st.


Earlier this month on February 11, we had a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, which was all about endings, letting go and clearing out the past. This energy has still been lingering but will shift as the New Moon Solar Eclipse energy takes over.

If Lunar Eclipses are all about endings, Solar Eclipses are all about new beginnings. Whatever emotions or events were stirred earlier this month are likely to melt away and shift in a new direction as February draws to a close.


Energetically, the Universe has been calling on all of us to move through a process of endings. To some extent, we have all been called on by the Universe in different ways to shed the old in order to make way for the new.


Perhaps you have even noticed this constant theme of “death and rebirth” through the last 12 months and the breaking away of old thoughts, beliefs and ideas.


The Lunar Eclipse earlier this month was in many ways the tipping point of all of this energy.


Whatever needed to be cleared from your life has likely already started to melt away and perhaps, even through the chaos of it all, you are starting to feel a certain amount of relief.


The New Moon Solar Eclipse on February 26, is definitely going to be something to look forward to. This Eclipse is going to bring a wave of new energy that will help all of us to start looking ahead to the new.


Whatever has been cleared from your life in recent months is now dissipating and the New Moon Solar Eclipse will help you to get an idea of what new chapter lies ahead.


For this reason, the Solar Eclipse is the perfect time to start writing down your hopes, dreams and wishes. The energy for manifesting is going to be extremely high at this time, so definitely use this to your advantage.


When it comes to manifesting however, sometimes it is best to focus on what feelings you want to create for this new chapter, rather than physical or material items.


While there is nothing wrong wishing for something material or physical, there is greater power in manifesting feelings or states of being.


For example, instead of trying to manifest the perfect job, perhaps try to focus your energy on manifesting the feelings that this perfect job will give you. When you work from this place, it allows your energy to stay open to the Universe and open to the opportunities that come your way.


When you manifest openly, it also allows you to surrender to the flow and to be directed naturally and organically towards your highest path.


Of course, there are no limits or rules on what you can or cannot manifest, so don’t be afraid to dream big, especially on the night of this Pisces New Moon Eclipse.


Pisces energy is all about inner reflection, intuition and higher consciousness. This is a wonderful energy that will join us for the months ahead, making it a perfect time to think about your spirituality and the deeper meaning behind your life.


In many ways, this Pisces energy will not really allow you to move forward unless you have considered the inner stirrings of your heart and intuition.


Use this time now in order to get clearer about what you truly want and why you truly want it. Perhaps it is also time to think about what you want to work on and give your attention to for the year ahead.


The energy of this New Moon Solar Eclipse is also going to lead all of us into the starting of the astrological year, which happens on the Equinox, March 20th, 2017.


The Equinox is going to be the highest point of rebirth on a long cycle of letting go and shedding and the Solar Eclipse is going to open a pathway that will lead us straight to the doorway of the new.


Whatever new energy is waiting for us in the new astrological year is going to slowly start to be presented to us after the Pisces New Moon Eclipse.


This New Moon Eclipse is going to open a doorway and light up a pathway that is going to lead us to where we need to be for 2017. This is an extremely powerful time and one of the most significant turning points of the year.


In the coming weeks, allow the old to be stripped and melted away and start looking ahead into the new.


It has been a long cycle of endings for many of us, but this is now coming to an end and the energy to create the new is now here.


The February New Moon Solar Eclipse is going to be sending all of us waves of positive energy that is highly motivating, eye-opening and directed.


Stay open to whatever flies in around this time and stay open to any inspiration that moves you.


February 26th is a day to look forward to and a time to truly celebrate and honor yourself for all that you have been through.
