Happy Monday, my friends.
As always, I hope this weekend provided you with ample rest, balance, joy and opportunity to come back to yourself.
These energies have continued to feel quite palpable, so if you’re feeling a bit on edge or reactive, do your best to take a breath before acting and ground yourself. We’ve been in a Mercury Retrograde shadow, with it peaking tomorrow, so as always, be conscious of your communication, travel plans and technology.
For those who have been feeling like a lot has been coming up lately, you’re right on time.
There’s a sense that many lingering self-sabotage energy or feelings of unworthiness are coming up to the surface to be released. A lot of shifting is happening when it comes to identity, because where you’re moving toward is going to require you to have a solid sense of who you are and the standards that come along with it.
Use this week to really take inventory on where in your life you’re actually restricting yourself. Where are you continuing the narratives that have held you back in the past?
Some of you may be feeling a sense to take action in certain areas of your life. Just make sure you’re taking inspired and aligned action that’s stemming from your intuition, not from a place of lack, control or fear.
I also get the feeling that for a lot of you who resonate with this message, you may be someone that is a teacher, healer or role model for others, whether you consciously realize that or not. And that may have led to some subconscious feelings of pressure, because you know others tend to turn to you or look to you for guidance.
This is your gentle reminder that this isn’t asking you to be perfect. Far from it! The greatest gift you can give anyone, especially yourself, is permission to be messy, complex, authentic, vulnerable and true to yourself. Be human and find the divinity in that.
We are all connected in some way, and often we get trapped into thinking we need to fit the mold of who we assume we’re supposed to be instead of who we are. And even when you begin to really get deep into that journey, carry your humility with you, because it’s a cycle, and you will inevitably come back around to familiar lessons again. Know that everyone else is exactly where they’re meant to be, too. It’s not your job to tell them what to do or how to feel or what’s next. Your only job is to be you, and that will cause a ripple effect on its own.
This is why it’s so important to focus on yourself, because who you allow yourself to become affects the entire world.
I felt inclined to look at the bottom of the deck and top of the deck. Bottom of the deck we got Surrender and top of the deck was Courage and Boldness. Sometimes the scariest thing to do is to let go of who we’ve created ourselves to be in order to find out who we actually are, but this is also when the magic happens.
What if you’re so much more than you ever allowed yourself to believe? What if the only thing that’s been standing in your way this whole time was you?
Now is the time to be brave on how you want to move forward. Are you going to continue to try and control everything, including yourself, or are you going to let go and see what’s possible?
The numerology of this reading is a 1, to no surprise. “In Numerology, the number 1 is the root of opportunity in our lives. It is a symbol of confidence, power, and action. It pushes us to look at our current circumstances and realize that we have the power to turn them into anything we wish. Even if we are afraid, the 1 inspires us to take control of our future and embrace new beginnings.”
Some other symbols for confirmation of this reading are horses, butterflies, large bodies of water and spiderwebs.
