Step Out of the Noise with Sunday’s Pisces Eclipse
Step Out of the Noise with Sunday’s Pisces Eclipse
…It’s Soft Nudge Friday 🐟 with your eclipse invitation.
Every time I return from a trip, a plant dies. It’s not for lack of detailed instructions: I give each of our house/pet sitters a 15-page home and pet care document (with a clickable table of contents).
Yet despite my best efforts, always, a plant is sacrificed. Before we leave, I now ask John: Which plant will give up its life for us this time?
I don’t believe in the idea of a “green thumb.” I believe in presence. You’re either connected to yourself and your environment, or you’re distracted. And vice versa: when connected to your environment, you’re also connected to yourself.
I feel this connection is missing — and is a big part of our collective troubles.
It’s a big claim, I know. Let me tell you about my experiences, and you decide.
🐟 Leave Culture to Return ‘Home’ 🐟
In Palau, I had the exquisite thrill of visiting a lush island with a very small population. The cherry on top? Their clan culture was well-preserved, and matriarchal. As an empath and energy-sensitive, this was pure heaven for me.
Without arbitrary patriarchal values, things made sense — and I felt it. For instance, upon returning to the U.S. on Labor Day, the disconnection of observing that holiday, without any true anchor to a shared social ritual, was palpable. Here, my only thought was, Is UPS open today? I felt off all day.
In contrast, the matriarchal, well-preserved indigenous culture in Palau embodied the values of equality, community, and meaning. Such coherence creates smooth energy — instantly recognizable as resonance, or peace. And harmony within any environment allows us to feel our own inherent peace.
In Palau, connection to myself was effortless. What typically takes me thirty minutes of energy practice, twice a day, happened in five minutes there. What was “not me” (misalignment, unrest, noise) was effortlessly removed. All that was left was Nature — which is my natural vibration, and yours.
I noticed:
When meaning is deeply woven into a culture’s rituals and daily life, it becomes easier to connect to our inherent peace, harmony, and goodness.
Where there is societal noise — distraction, unrest, fear, disconnection from collective meaning — it’s still possible, but harder.
🐟 Nature as Source Connection 🐟
When you go into Nature, your energy field shifts. You relax. You feel good. Partly it’s because you are embodied and present — walking, breathing, touching, noticing. Your mind can rest from looping anxieties and stories.
But something deeper also happens: you leave behind the energetic noise of culture and step into the energetics of Nature — consistently clear, pure, resonant.
This is your natural state. Because when all that is “not you” (conditioned beliefs, other people’s noise, untrue thoughts) is removed, you feel peaceful, content, at ease. In this state, your connection to your true self is effortless.
Anything that interferes with this Source-self connection is a distraction. Distraction adds layers of murk to your energy field. It obscures intuition, which relies on inner listening and awareness. Constant noise blocks noticing.
This is why house sitters can walk right by a dying plant for days without seeing it.
🐟 Soft Nudge Invitation 🐟
How many of us, in modern culture, are truly connected to our environment? Do you notice the health of the plants in your home or yard? The seasonality of the trees in your neighborhood? The cries of the birds overhead?
Today, I walked through my tropical yard, deepening presence with my environment and myself. I observed: the new gardener does not have a gentle hand, despite my directions. So I let him know I would be tending my own garden for now, and released him from service. Sunday’s lunar eclipse highlights service and spiritual connection (6th/12th houses) in my chart.
This Pisces Full Moon eclipse will land differently for you, yet its archetype is universal. Pisces — the mystical fishes — speaks to presence, release, surrender, and the invisible interconnection of all things.
This weekend, offer your presence — to yourself and to Nature. Where do you feel called to reconnect, or let go? Notice how bringing your full awareness to this one area restores harmony, and reconnects you to peaceful contentment.
Love. Thank you!
