Here we are, at the March equinox and entering the Tunnel of Transformation once again.
Of all the eclipses I’ve written about this tunnel seems to be significant in a very new way.
Who am I without all the roles and titles?
Have you felt the energy of dissolution intensifying?
Since the Pisces energy started to amplify in the past few weeks, you may have felt a sense of your old identity fading away.
Yesterday we had the Sun conjunct Neptune which can make us feel like we are in the middle of the ocean with no anchor and no idea in which direction to turn.
In moments like these, remember that your heart is the true compass and now we know why all the emphasis has been on developing heart energy.
It's your connection to the divine creator at a time when nothing external seems to make sense anymore or even desirable, that guides you forward.
All this dissolution is purposeful as it's helping to prepare to step into a significantly brand new energy as we approach the eclipse tunnel and April transits.
It was during the new moon solar eclipse of March 2015 that I had a moment of surrender to the divine, where the ego fell away and I asked for my life purpose to be shown.
This moment of humility came after feeling intense disillusionment despite having 'achieved' many of my desires on my life's to-do list.
My egoic ideas of success started to crumble.
That moment opened up a brand new pathway for me, in the coming months and years.
When I started studying astrology I realized just how significant our intentions (conscious and unconscious) during key transits like eclipses play a role in how we create our lives.
Key dates & themes to be aware of during this tunnel:
- March 17th: Sun conjunct Neptune felt for the next few days. Amplification of the old fading away. Dissolution of falseness, so we can access our true anchor through the heart.
- March 19th/20th: Equinox (Sun enters 0 Aries). Pause to honor this moment. Get in the sunlight and energy of the Earth.
- March 25th: Libra full moon lunar eclipse at 5.07 Libra following the equinox. Energy of completion, resolution, endings of old self/lifestyles/relationships/creations. Old ways of relating to the external world starts to fade.
- April 1: Mercury turns Rx in the middle of eclipse season. Be extra intentional with your communication, be extra open to what is opening up on your path
- April 8th: Aries new moon solar eclipse conjunct Chiron 19.24 Aries. Initiating a brand new identity, courage to step into the new. Bringing forth compassion for your journey as well as others.
- April 20th: Jupiter Uranus conjunction at 21.5 Taurus. This is the big energy of amplification of awakening, quantum leap into a new timeline and a wildcard. Be very intentional and focused on what you are creating. Start practicing before this transit. Realities have a potential of looking significantly different after this point. Any drama will be amplified (that's what Jupiter does). But positive intentions will also be amplified. Focus on creating more peace, harmony and authenticity in your own life.
How to prepare for this tunnel?
Keep in mind/heart that the effect of these transits is felt weeks in advance, and the preparation you do for them makes a big difference in how you experience the energy.
If you have any points in your chart being activated by these transits, it's opening a brand new access to your soul's intent for this life, and this may more often than not feel unfamiliar.
Some practices that may help in the coming weeks/months:
- Go slow and be intentional with where you put your focus and life force energy as the transits amplify your choices.
- Spend time in the sunlight and nature to allow your body to receive these energies and disconnect from the external noise.
- Consciously release something that is no longer aligned to what you desire your highest path to be like. This could be thought patterns/words/ways of communicating or old unresolved emotions or items/possessions that add unwanted weight/baggage of your life's vision or extraneous tasks done on auto-pilot that suck the joy out of life.
- Utilize these energies to introspect on how your life would look and feel like, if everything had the vibration of sacredness. This will give clues to what to dissolve and what to energize during this highly charged time.

Inspiring conversations on Navigating Imposter Syndrome and Getting out of Your Comfort Zone in order to create your new identity:
Since that pivotal moment on March 20th 2015, I have been actively moving towards my own authentic expression.
The falling away of the false self that can happen during intense planetary transits is necessary in order for our true self to come through.
If we are expressing through a facade or an identity of self that is no longer true to who we are meant to become, this facade starts to crack during transits such as eclipse tunnels.
Awareness of this can help you navigate these intense times with grace because without letting go of our old habits/patterns/likes/dislikes and the big one - identity, it's hard to be open to what new aspect of you is awakening during this time.
As a visionary coach, I am passionate about helping people connect to their authentic voice. During this process, the topic of imposter syndrome often comes up, which can often block our unique & authentic skills.
In an interview with Candice Georgiadis of Authority Magazine, I have a frank chat on this topic. We talk about:
- What 'Speaking Your Truth' means
- The catalyst responsible for my career transition
- How imposter syndrome shows up mentally, emotionally and physically
- How it can limit your growth and
- 5 steps to move forward even if you are experiencing imposter syndrome
