Many of my friends and clients have been telling me that they’ve been experiencing some wacky energy lately. I certainly have been feeling it. At times, I feel like the rug has been pulled out from under me, and I have no idea what I’m standing on! With Pluto squaring Saturn, we are all receiving a major jolt, and many people are feeling disoriented, confused, and depressed. This planetary aspect pushes us to let go of anything — beliefs, behaviors, objects, commitments, relationships — that no longer serve us.
I’ve been checking in with my guides daily through the tarot to find ways to navigate through this chaos, and I keep hearing, “Rest and listen. That is all you need to do.” At times I want to say to them, “You’ve got to be kidding. I have things to do, and I can’t take out that much time.” The response is always the same: “If you listen you will become more productive.” And then it dawned on me. I was being told to get off the treadmill and take only inspired actions — actions that are guided by spirit.
That was a big wake up call. I realized that I had been running around like a chicken without a head and was not actually being productive. I wasn’t manifesting more from this frantic activity; I was just getting burned out.
After a short time, I began noticing that I was manifesting things unbelievably quickly. I would think about someone I hadn’t heard from in years and they would call me. I would write down a difficult situation I wanted to see resolved and then, out of nowhere, get an email saying that action was being taken on my behalf. My energy was more concentrated because I wasn’t scattering it all over the place with a lot of meaningless activity. I was taking only those actions I was guided to take. And so, I was actually WAY more productive doing less.
I invite you to take a look at your life right now, and ask yourself:
- Am I taking a lot of actions and not getting the results I want?
- Am I feeling tired, depleted, or depressed?
- Am I holding onto anything that is draining my energy or causing me repeated suffering?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, make sure you are getting the support you need to slow down and connect with your spiritual guidance.
