New Destinations are Calling
Current energies are asking us to move forward, and that’s not always comfortable.
A key is turning, and an engine's getting started. It's that feeling of something beginning, a collaboration of parts working together to take us somewhere. But at the end of the day, it's up to us to choose where we will drive this car.
Being turned on feels good. It's thrilling, it's exciting, and it's also nerve-wracking. There's an uneasiness in the air, which can be delicious depending on our capacity for thrill-seeking. The energy might be frantic, but it's just ready to get busy and doesn't do well if we sit still. Recently, I was spending a lot of downtime, turning within myself and contemplating life, which led me to spiral into fears, what-ifs and self-defeating perspectives. Sure, that's human nature; we aren't always going to feel good sitting with ourselves. That's the work of being humans, refereeing the delicate game of catch between our heads and hearts. It's an ongoing commitment, and there are no intermissions.
But we don't want to sit around and wait too long during these current energies. Like a car that's starting, the longer we idle, the more fuel we waste and the worse our environmental impact is. That's what it felt like when I was in that low moment, just a waste. Where was it taking me? Backwards if anywhere. There are times to look back, but now it's a moment to ask ourselves, where are we going?
New places and spaces are calling to us, but it doesn't mean we won't feel nervous. These energies are associated with Uranus's retrograde, which ended on January 27th and will continue to come into effect in the following weeks. This cycle has been ongoing since the end of August. At the end of August, imagine we pulled our car into a parking spot, turned it off, and went to do some shopping. Now we've got what we needed from that place, and we are back in the car, turning it on, ready for the next stop. We may be heading home, and we've got the route memorized. Or maybe we feel spontaneous and want to cruise, seeing where life takes us. Remember, we are the ones driving the car. We are the only ones who can put our foot on the gas and accelerate.
Earlier this week, when I was in a low moment, I called someone I love. They encouraged me to pivot my thoughts and focus on what makes me happy. My work brings me the most joy, and that is what I turned my mind to. I got excited about the creator I am and the things I get to offer the world. I brainstormed new projects I want to deliver in the coming year and silently thanked each one of my clients, readers and followers. That means you! This week, your presence pulled me out of a gridlock traffic jam where my car wasn't going anywhere, and my mind was only getting increasingly frustrated.
Can we find those simple things that make us happy and then optimistically choose them as our destinations? For me, it's work; for you, maybe it's a relationship, cooking, singing, or writing. It could be yoga, running, or lying in the sun with a book.
The only ones who can take us there are ourselves. Choose a bright spot and let it be your guiding light, your North Star. It's not easy work, but it's the most worthwhile thing you can do. Remember, we don't have to do it alone. If you were driving somewhere you'd never been before; you'd use Google Maps. There are solutions around us; we just have to admit we need them. We must confess we feel lost before we pop the address into the app.
You were there for me, keeping me positive because I knew you were reading my words and following along. And I want you to know I'm here for you too. The world's a wild ride, and the paradox of planet Earth seems to get more and more chaotic by the second. But I'm here to help you Make Sense of the Universe.
Comment below, let me know what you need, or shoot me a response to this email if you want a private space just to let it out. And if you feel like meeting, my calendar is open for sessions. This isn't a sales pitch; it's just an honest reminder that you aren't alone and solutions are here. We may need someone to tell us something we already know but has yet to be said. We may need a reminder of who we are, stardust. The Universe is playing out through you, and that's a big deal. You're a big deal. You're a light. You're a star.
Suppose a financial barrier exists in your world. Please send me an email about my sliding scale sessions.
