Welcome to a new week, beloved.
I already know last week was a doozy for many of us. Between all of the astrological placements, the total lunar eclipse and the full moon, we had our hands full, so hopefully you found some time this weekend to rest and integrate.
This week’s reading once again reassures us that we are aligning with our highest path, and upgrading not only our own energy, but the vibration of the planet. No big deal, right?
Some of you are being called to travel to specific places, whether it’s in your hometown or a completely different city. You’re being asked to align with the crystalline grid of the Earth, and your presence at these locations will unlock ancient codes of wisdom that humanity has forgotten. If this resonates with you, take that trip.
Regardless of physical travel, your light body (the energy body in its highest form) is being activated, which is why it’s crucial to continue to take things slow and steady. While your physical and mental body may not feel like it’s doing much—or anything at all—on a cellular and energetic level, there’s a lot happening. So please, again, rest when you can. Take it easy.
This activation is going to awaken aspects of yourself that may seem contradictory, especially when it comes to love. How can you love someone who also makes you so angry? How can you love someone who has hurt you so deeply? Oftentimes, we shame and judge ourselves for continuing to love those who are “not good” for us, yet this is the definition of unconditional love—seeing people as they are, as messy and complex and inconvenient as they may be, and loving them still.
When we fall into the trap of refusing to love someone for certain behaviors or actions, regardless of how valid those reasons may be, understand that it’s also highlighting an aspect of yourself that shames and judges your Self for not showing up how you may expect at times. Loving someone unconditionally gives yourself permission to love your Self unconditionally, and vice versa.
Surrender to these perceivable extremes. Break yourself free of having to build a home on one side of the spectrum, and see what happens when you allow yourself to embody the entire spectrum, regardless of how contradictory it may seem.
Does this mean that we allow toxicity for the sake of love? No. Sometimes that unconditional love is done from a distance. Other times, we need to implement boundaries.
The Hadarians are believed to be beacons of pure, divine, unconditional love who see love in all people and situations. Perhaps that’s you. Perhaps you, too, find it difficult to have boundaried, interdependent, healthy relationships. Perhaps you, too, dive in fast, especially with those who feel safe and familiar at a soul level.
The lesson here is to learn how to love while in a separate body, to learn that loving Self first and establishing healthy relationships with others requires healthier boundaries. To remember that the love you seek is already within you. To know that codependency is not a form of love, but a carpool lane on the highway to losing your sense of Self in another.
Pay attention to relationships that make you feel anxious or powerless and review the energetic agreements you’ve made, whether they’re conscious or unconscious. Do you find yourself using these relationships to cover up places of inadequacy?
While the trajectory of your life may seem unknown, there was a moment before birth when you plotted this timeline of your life. Because of free will, however, we always have a choice on the path we travel—are you choosing your fated life or your destiny?
The fated life is the one you were born into. Your destiny is the one your soul chooses, and this path requires faith and courage. This week, notice the moments that will ask you to choose your destiny over your fated life. Trust the path your soul is calling you towards, because this moment was prearranged, too. You just don’t remember.
If you’re being called to make a decision, surrender to your soul’s greater plan. Doubt is a very common experience when you’re at a crossroads, but it is also the marker of a hero’s journey.
It takes great bravery to choose the road less traveled. Remember that you’re the hero of your story.
