Is the Universe Testing You?
The energy around us is intense at the moment. Cosmic whiplash at it’s finest. If you’re feeling it, I’m right there with you.Several things are going on, astrologically speaking; we’re in eclipse and Cancer season, Mercury is in retrograde, and much much more!These are a few of my favorite Astrologer’s (Yasmin Boland, Jennifer Racioppi & Cafe Astrology) for a more in depth view of what’s happening.
If you’re feeling like the Universe is putting you through a test this could be why.
Collectively, we are being shown what is no longer working in our lives and the Universe is not being subtle with Her hints.
Potent astrological times can rock our world but they also have their purpose, to shine a light on our inner shadows.
And it’s the perfect time to do some soul searching.
Are old patterns surfacing?
Do you keep facing similar struggles?
Do you keep getting stuck in the same toxic cycles over and over again, like no matter what you do you can’t seem to break free?
And here’s the BIG question, what are you avoiding and why?
I know it’s not easy to take an honest inventory of your life. I know feeling like you’re on a continuous roller coaster that has no end is emotionally and physically draining. I’ve been there, many, many times. I also know sometimes the easier path is to sweep it under the rug and pretend everything is ok. If you go that path She is only going to get louder with her hints.
It really comes down to one question: Do you want to continue to be stuck in the same toxic patterns or break free from them?
If it’s the latter then it’s time to roll up your sleeves and get to work. No one can do it for you. I often tell The Revolutionary Woman students: the lessons don’t work unless you do. You can have a self-growth box full to overflowing with knowledge, but if you’re not using the tools, the toolbox is useless.
Again, I ask, are you ready to break free?
The first step is being honest with yourself. You gotta see it to free it! Acknowledge what’s not working. Coming face to face with the shit you’ve been avoiding. The questions I asked will help you begin this process. I would also suggest an in depth journaling session. Explore everything that comes up! Tomorrow there is a full moon & a lunar eclipse. Normally, the full moon is the most potent time of the month release what’s no longer serving us. A full moon paired with a partial lunar eclipse is a full moon on steroids. And if you're looking to break free from the cycles that have been controlling your life, tomorrow is the perfect time to do so. If you’re looking for support on your journey, The Moon Society is an online sisterhood with weekly women's circles, monthly New Moon Ceremonies, a private Facebook Group and much more! begins in September. Last, but but least, I know this email wasn’t light and loving, sometimes tough love is needed. And if you feel triggered (because I have a feeling some of you may) that’s ok. It’s all a part of the journey. Sending you love from the shadows,
Xo,
Em
