This week’s title is actually inspired by one of my friends. During our most recent meet-up, as I was venting passionately, on an on about the changes this summer brought to my life and the problems I had with certain relationships.
She suddenly turned to me and said: we need to stop feeding the wolves.
No, she was not referring to people, but to contexts, behaviours, poor personal limits and our constant oblivion to feeding the unbalanced, immature and sometimes poisonous relationships.
Whatever you accept, you deserve. The Universe is simple in observing you: “oh, she accepts that in her life, then she might want more of that, let’s windfall with it right now!”
You don’t get what you want, you get what you are.
Access to your energy and love and care is Godly. Be careful in these times of chaos who you are feeding with your gifts and if they reciprocate. If there’s a lack of mutual contribution, you will feel it right away in your body, health, luck.
This 2024 hasn’t been easy. To any of us. I wrote about this year in January and most of the things I felt back then (unfortunately) came to life.
Some of us experienced power struggles in relationships and a lot of dark patterns. Others became money obsessed and lost people and joy due to this hunger for more. I counselled women on loss, truth, acceptance, understanding and anger.
After a very different February energy (Pluto was entering Aquarius and the matrix changed), a cloudy incoherent spring with Neptune squaring Lilith followed. But this summer, oh, THIS summer really felt like an “all or nothing” energy. Most of the times, all = nothing, especially during August.
I’ve always said an 8 year is not about money, but about acknowledging the problems we have with money, the bad patterns, the fears or obsessions. 8 is not about power, but about power dismantling and the mental pain necessary for the transformation you’ve been delaying. This is the lesson of Pluto in Capricorn, that ends this autumn. This is also the lesson of Saturn in Pisces. The energy of discipline, truth, rigour and endurance is probably the core of this autumn. How will you embrace it?
To be abundant is to learn to appreciate who and how you are in the middle of poorness or failure. 8 teaches us this: the only power we have is the one to lead our own life on the path of truth. Power is within us, as us.
Now, as I am writing these words, Pluto is re-entering Capricorn (at 29 degrees, the grade of urgency and deep clearance) as part of its annual retrograde season, while Uranus begins its own retrograde in Taurus season. September will be packed with sudden endings and extremely sudden beginnings at the same time. The Eclipse season starts right in the middle of the month, echoing a divine path we will all walk on starting next February 2025. Curious for more? Then, let’s dive into your unique birth chart and the blessings you have laid before you.
For some of us will be harder. For other, will be softer. But we will feel these months, I assure you of it.
A short thinking or journaling prompt for this next week, as we are stepping into another cycle of clearance.
What are the big changes you’ve navigated since 2008, on all levels? Which area was the most activated: self, relations, career, control, trust, etc?
How have you been able to understand your patterns, structures, control and adapt them to a softer, kinder life?
Did you integrate this findings in your practice today? Information without practice equals mental and emotional turmoil. What can you do during these months to finally GET THIS?
Who are you feeding with your energy while you get nothing or less in return? You are loved and you matter without those relationships, you do know that?
Are you the friend you expect others to be with you? Matchy-matchy!
Potential remedies, depending on your own practice:
spend time doing something you love with all your heart. A comedy, a book, a walk in the park, sex. Joy opens the heart and dismantles any negative emotion.
try softer body practices: Balinese massage, yoga, qi gong, pranayama (breathing). Transformation and turmoil is somatized rapidly this year, so take it easy.
pray! I restarted praying more a couple of months ago, and it’s a practice I now hold dear to me. Who knows, it might guide you well during these months too.
listen to a new podcast for the soul. My friend Ana has launched her soothing podcast a couple of weeks ago, and I am guiding you to listen to her. 15-30 minutes per week with a counsellor who really gets what you are going through. Find it on Spotify.
Until next week, take care (of your energy)!
