In a video, Popa explained that "feeling discombobulated" is common after an eclipse. Not to mention the added effects of Mercury retrograde in Picses until March 20, so "feeling like you're in a fog" is almost to be expected.
Pisces season is moving us to face what we want to keep buried in the dark while showing us the light and power we hold within. On the 12th, Luckily, the Capricorn Moon energy on March 12 is a much-needed anchoring force, helping us to shift from the emotional to the logical. The week closes with the Aquarius Moon starting on the 14th, encouraging us to heal and connect with people we trust.
