Friday Rise

Greetings Reader!

🧐 Manifesting & Energetics

This week Jenn and I talk about raising your vibrations, divine timing, and all the spaces around manifesting.

Because whether you're trying or not, you're manifesting all the time. Your thoughts become your reality.

✨ What does eclipse season even mean?

Today is the last New Moon before eclipse season. And if you've been hanging around astrology people, you’ve probably heard this term thrown around like it’s so obvious! So let's take a moment and break it down.

Eclipse season happens roughly every six months and lasts about 35 days. It’s a period when the Sun, Moon, and Earth align closely enough for eclipses to occur. Typically, an eclipse season includes at least one solar and one lunar eclipse.

☀️Solar eclipse – When the New Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking some or all of the Sun’s light.
🌕 Lunar eclipse – When the Earth comes between the Sun and the Full Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon.

Energetically, eclipse season is more about surrendering to change rather than setting intentions, so most astrologers don’t recommend manifesting during these new or full moons.

Eclipses bring transformation, rapid shifts, and revelations—hidden things may come to light, and change can happen suddenly. Instead of forcing a direction, it’s a powerful time to rest, observe, and trust the flow. 💫

Total Lunar eclipse coming to you March 13th!


This Week in the Stars

  • 💖 March 1 – Venus Retrograde in Aries → Reassess love, relationships, and personal values. Slow down and reflect before making big romantic or financial decisions.
  • 🗣 March 3 – Mercury Enters Aries → Bold, direct communication gets a boost. Speak your truth but be mindful of impulsive words. A great time for fresh ideas and confident self-expression.
  • 🌊 Ongoing Pisces Season → Deepen intuition, embrace creativity, and allow emotions to flow. A perfect time for spiritual reflection, dreaming big, and trusting the universe’s timing.

See you next week!

The signs from the universe have all been pointing toward:Dream bigger. Jump bigger. Create...
