This point is located in the purple circle at the top of your chart (see picture below).

Also, I get this question a lot; which website should I use to calculate my chart? I personally ALWAYS recommend using www.matrix-destiny.com. If you want to calculate your own chart, please take a look at this video I have uploaded explaining how to calculate your own chart!

With the Magician, low energy usually has nothing to do with sleep, food or discipline. It comes from the fact that you are not engaged in anything that requires you to step up. You are not really built for sitting around too long. Like yeah, rest is fine, but if you stay in that space for too long, you start to feel worse, not better. You overthink, you go in circles and your energy just drops. What actually brings your energy back is having something to go after, something you can work on. You have probably noticed this yourself. You can feel completely off, scrolling, doing nothing, thinking "what's wrong with me?". Then, BOOM, you decide, alright, I'm going to sort this out, send that message, start that project, make a plan. And suddenly you feel a bit more switched on. Probably not perfect, but better, y'know? That's how you energise yourself. You need direction and you need to be doing something with it. Even small things can make a huuuuuge difference. Starting a project, fixing something, learning something useful, taking the lead in a situation instead of waiting around. That's how you bring your energy back. What does NOT work is staying stuck. Waiting until you "feel ready" (this makes me think of that one quote, it goes like this: "Ready is not a feeling, it's a decision"), doubting yourself or just doing the same thing every day with no real aim. Sooooo, if your energy is low, it's usually not that complicated. It's more like... you've either lost direction or just stopped moving. GET TO WORKKK!

Sooo, with the High Priestess, it's a bit different. You can actually be doing nothing and still feel tired. Which is confusing, because you'll think: "I've literally done NOTHING today, why do I feel like this?" But yeah, it's not about what you're doing, it's about what you're taking in. You're quite tuned in, whether you like it or not. You pick up on people, energy, tension, little things in conversations. And guess what? All of that adds up (I know, tragic...) So even a normal day around people, noise, social media, constant input, it drains you without you fully noticing. And then you hit that point where you feel off, like mehhh. A bit overwhelmed, a bit disconnected. So, the solution? You need proper space. Not scrolling alone, not distracting yourself, but sitting alone with your thoughts, letting things settle. ALSO, your gut feeling is a big one. You usually know what's right and wrong straight away. But then you start thinking too much, asking people, going back and forth... and guess what? Now you're confused and tired. If you just trust your first feeling, you save yourself a lot of energy. Another thing (and I going to hold your hand when I say this), not every conversation is for you. Small talk, gossip, too many people. It's tiring. But when you talk to someone and it actually means something, you don't feel drained after. So if your energy is low, it's usually because of too much input, not enough space.

If your basic life is not set up properly, boy oh boy, you will feel it. Let's say your space is messy, your routine is all over the place, you're eating whatever, sleeping badly, maybe your money situation feels unstable... yeah, that's draining you. You need things to feel in order. You've probably had this. Your place is messy, you're eating random food, nothing feels put together. But then you clean your space, get yourself together a bit, maybe buy something nice for yourself, cook a proper meal, and suddenly, boom... you feel better. Like, okay, I can breathe again. You also get energy from taking care of things and people. Like cooking for someone, helping someone out, organising something properly. That gives you a sense of control and stability and your enegy goes op. And yeah, money and comfort matter for you. Let's not pretend they don't (the Empress is literally ruled by Venus, duhh). When you feel financially stressed or like you can't enjoy your life properly, it drains you. When you feel stable, when you can actually enjoy things a bit, your energy is completely different. ALSO, random but important, you need a bit of beauty in your life. Nice clothes, a clean space, good food, a nice environment. Whatever you do, do NOT neglect yourself, live in chaos or be stingy with yourself, big no no. Simply take care of yourself, get things back in order, and voila, your energy goes up!

This one is actually quite simple. When you are not deciding things, your energy drops. You might not even notice it at first. You are still doing stuf, laaa laa laaa, going through your day, replying here and there. But there are things sitting in the background. Things you know you need to handle, but you keep pushing them. And it starts to annoy you. Let's say you need to call someone back, make a decision, sort something out and you just don't... It stays in your head the WHOLE day (and sometimes even during the night). That's where your energy goes. Now compare that to when you actually deal with it. You finally sit down and go, alrighttttt, I'm doing this NOW! You decide what needs to happen, you take action. And boom, you feel lighter and more settled, perhaps even more confident. That's your pattern. You don't really get drained from doing too much, you get drained from not handling things properly (remember, the Emperor is ruled by Aries!) You NEED to feel like things are under control, or at least feel like you are the one deciding what's going on. Even the smalllllest things matter; finishing something you started, saying what you think, making a plan for your day instead of just reacting to everything. I know, I know, it sounds "basic", but for you it's not optional. Also, can we be real for a second? You and I both know you don't relax by avoiding decisions lol. You just stay in that weird in-between. SO JUST MAKE THAT DECISION. TAKE CONTROL. Not tooooo much control, though, because that can also drain you. Simply step in where you are supposed to.

𝟓 - 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭 ⋆｡°✩

You know that feeling when you keep thinking about something, reading about it, maybe even talking about... but you are not actually DOING anything with it? Yeah, that's where your energy goes with this one. With the Hierophant, you don't get tired from doing too much, but from holding too much in your head and not using it. Like let's say you are learning something. Could be anything. Spiritual stuff (like you're doing right now lol), pyshcology, fitness, whatever. You watch videos, read things, save posts, think "ahaaaa, yes, this makes sense". But then... *crickets* nothing changes in your actual life. After a while, you might get frustrated, like "why am I not moving forward????" But the truth is that you are just sitting on knowledge. And that drains you. Now think about the opposite. When you actually USE what you know. You explain something to someone, you give advice, you try something out yourself. Boom. You feel more sure of yourself, more solid, I guess. Like, okay, this is real now. That's your energy source. Quick question, do you ever feel a bit irritated when people just talk nonsense or don't think things through? Like you're sitting there thinking "this is so obvious, why are you like this?" Yeah well, that's also part of it. Because you naturally look for meaning, truth, what makes sense. But if you stay in that space of judging or correcting everyone in your head, it drains you as well. Also, structure is a big thing for you! You need some inner direction. Once you go, alright, this is what I believe in, this is how I see things, boom, you relax a bit.

𝟔 - 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 ⋆｡°✩

Low energy is often linked to you being disconnected from what you actually feel. You can be doing all the "right" things and still feel flat. Why? Because your energy comes back when there is love in what you are doing (woah, who would have thought?). You can probably spend the whole day doing things you do not even care about, talking to people you don't even like that much, saying yes when you mean no, and boom; you feel drained. Then on another day, you do one thing you GENUINELY enjoy, maybe you see someone you love, work on something creative, have one really good conversation, and suddenly you feel way more alive. That's your soul talking to you. For you, energy comes back through love, beauty, connection and being honest with yourself. So, ask yourself, do I actually like what I am doing right now? Do I even want to be here? Do I even like this person, this job, this version of my life? Because if the answer is no, your energy will feel it before your mind admits it. Another big one for you is choice, this energy gets drained when you keep sitting in indecision. That limbo state is exhausting for you. Sometimes you need to stop asking everyone else, stop romanticising the situation and just make the choice yourself. Also, and I say this with love, you do need to watch the whole "I will feel better if I buy something nice" thing. Because yes, beauty, comfort, a nice meal, nice clothes, etx. helps you. But impulsive spending because you feel "empty" for 5 minutes...? yeah, no <3

If you know a thing or two about Tarot, you already know what I am going to say... YOU NEED MOMENTUM. You need something to aim at. If too many days go by where nothing is happening or changing and you are just doing the same thing over and over and over, you start feeling it verrrrry quickly. And I don't just mean physically. I mean mentally as well. You can be "busy" all day and still feel drained if there is no real direction behind it. Have you ever had one of those days where you did loads, but by the end of it you thought, rigggght... but what actually moved forward? That feeling is very Chariot. You need some sort of progress. It could be anything, truly. Let's say something practical. You go for a run, sort out your routine, finally make that decision, get through a task you kept avoiding, book the thing, start the plan, bla bla bla. Straight away, you feel more like yourself. Why? Because you are moving towards something, yay! And you also need a biiiiit of challenge, if I'm being honest. Not constantly, obviously, but y'know, something that pushes you. A target or a deadline. A reason to get your act together. Without that, your energy can get lazy and scattered and then you start doing ten things at once and somehow none of them properly. DISCIPLINE NEEDS TO BE YOUR BEST FRIEND. I know, boring word. But you genuinely need a proper routine or even writing things down idk, you just need to direct your energy towards something, otherwise it just spills everywhere. ALSO, move that body of yours. Walk, train, travel, idk, just move! Energy ALWAYS comes back throught movement, progress and discipline. (oooh, also, reward yourself from time to time. Like, make a list of things you want to do and reward yourself every time you tick something off!)

𝟖 - 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 ⋆｡°✩

With Justice, low energy usually comes from one thing: you are out of balance somewhere. Maybe you are working too much and ignoring your personal life. Maybe you are giving too much and getting nothing back. Whatever it is, your energy drops the SECOND something in your life starts feeling unfair, one-sided or just not right. For example, let's say your work-life balance is a joke. You are working too much, sleeping badly, saying yes to everything and then wondering why you feel drained all the time. Or maybe a relationship feels one-sided and you keep brushing it off, but deep down you know it is bothering you. The second you actually address it, set a boundary, make a decision, sort out the practical side of it.... BOOM, your energy starts coming back. So, put things in order! Look at a situation honestly and ask yourself, okay, where is the problem here? What is too much? What is not enough? What am I ignoring because I do not want to deal with it? Also, you are NOT someone who feels good in total chaos. Sure, spontaneity is important, but you NEED some sort of order. A routine, a plan, some structure, knowing what's going on, etc. etc. (I always recommend using a daily planner for those who have major 8-placements. It has helped me personally A LOT). Another thing, your nervous system does not like emotional nonsense. Drama, mixed signals, people saying one thing and doing another, shady behabiour, all of that drains you soooo fast. Never let something slide for too long (luckily y'all Leos and Virgos usually don't have a problem with that lol), or pretend you're okay when you are not.

𝟗 - 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐭 ⋆｡°✩

Space, space, space, did I already mention space? Well, that's what you need. And I mean PROPER space. Not just sitting there scrolling, half replying to people and half pretending you are resting. Thats does not count, lollll. This probably does not come as a shocking surprise, but you are someone who needs time alone to think, process and come back to yourself. Have you noticed that when you are around people for too long or when everyone wants something from you at once, you start feeling drained? Like your brain needs the room to breathe. It's okay to step back and going inward in a healthy way. Reading something good (I always recommend esoteric and philosophical books to those with major 9 placements), writing your thoughts down, going for a walk on your own, spending time with one idea properly instead of being pulled in ten directions. Even something veryyyyy simple, like sitting with a cup of tea in silence for half an hour, can do more for you than forcing yourself to be social all day. Also, you get energy from depth. Surface-level everything usually tires you out. Small talk, people talking just to talk... yeah, no. But the second you are learning something interesting, understanding something properly, you feel more awake again. That is why you can spend two hours reading about something random but fascinating and somehow feel better after, not worse. BUT, at the same time, and this is important, there is a difference between healthy solitude and disappearing into your own little cave for too long :D Because then it flips. You isolate yourself, stop sharing, stop engaging. So for you, the sweet spot is usually this: enough alone time to hear yourself, but not so much that you cut yourself off from life completely.

𝟏𝟎 - 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐞 ⋆｡°✩

So, with the Wheel of Fortune, low energy usually happens when things don't go your way and you just get stuck in it a bit, y'know? Like, something falls through, timing is off, plans change and instead of adjusting, you kind of sit there thinking... seriously? now what? And then your mood drops, your motivation drops. And guess what, you are not someone who does well in that state (I mean, who does?). You need movement, something happening. Progress, change, even the smallest shifts can uplift your mood. When everything feels slow or stuck, it drains you pretty fast. You've probably noticed this, right? When things are flowing, you're fine. Even if it's busy or chaotic, you feel alive. But the second things stall or don't match your expectations, it's like your energy just dips. And then what happens? You start overthinking, maybe pulling back a bit, maybe waiting it out, but that actually makes it worse. What helps is simple, but yeah, you have to actually do it. Don't just sit there waiting for the "right moment" to come back. Guess what? It won't. You kind of have to restart the movement yourself. Even small things. Go somewhere, change your routine, talk to someone, say yes to something you'd normally overthink. Just get things to moving again. Also.... relying on luck? *shakes head* Not it. Yes, you do have good timing, opportunities show up for you, but only when you're actually engaged. If you check out, nothing really happens. AND another thing, your mindset is super duper important. The moment you go into "nothing is working" mode, guess what? Nothing is going to work (thank Jupiter for that one). You have to stay a bit open. Weird how that works, but yeah.

𝟏𝟏 - 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 ⋆｡°✩

With 11 energy, low energy does not mean you have no strength. It's ore like... your strength is going nowhere useful. You have a LOT in you, that's whole point here. So when you're not using that energy properly, it starts turning against you a bit. You get restless, frustrated, snappy, maybe weirdly unmotivated, maybe you start feeling like you're carrying loads but getting nowhere. And that feels awful, because you KNOW you have something in you, but it's just not landing anywhere. So, how do you solve this? Well, you need a proper outlet. And no, I do not mean sitting there "thinking about your potential" for three hours lol. I mean movement, like sport, gym, running, swimming, long walks, or just getting things done physically (as in running errands, not plastic surgery). Have you noticed how much better you feel when your body is actually being used? (not like that). You also get energy from being useful in a very direct (idk if that's the right word) way. Protecting, helping, leading, sorting things out, stepping in when something needs to be handled. Things like that. Also, very important, DO NOT LIVE A DRY, JOYLESS LIFE. If you are only working, only being strong, only being responsible, only "holding it together", you will burn yourself out so fast. You need pleasure too. Proper rest, good food, attraction, fun, laughter, lice experiences, all of that.

𝟏𝟐 - 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐧 ⋆｡°✩

Giving, giving, giving, and getting nothing back. That's how you lose your energy. And by giving, I do not just mean money, by the way. I mean time, attention, emotional energy, patience, etc. You are someone who can see and feel a lot and understand people very quickly. Which sounds nice, right? But after a while it gets exhausting. You have probably had this. You are there for everyone, you give good, no, great advice, you listen, help, make sacrifices, you keep going... and then one day you feel completely drained and you are like, okay, why do I feel this bad when all I have done is "be nice"? Well... because you cannout keep pouring from an empty cup. Annoying phrase, I know, but true. What actually gives you energy back is helping in a way that still leaves you with something. That is the main thing. You do need purpose, a meaning, the need to feel useful. But the second helping turns into self-sacrifice, your energy starts dropping. Helping someone because you genuinely want to is one thing. Overgiving because you feel "guilty", because you want to be needed or because you think you needs matter less... yeah, that is a completely different story. The Hanged Man does not do well with a random, meaningless life. You need to feel like what you are doing matters. That could be your work, a creative project, something spiritual, something where you feel like, yes, this is important to me. Without that, you can start feeling flat very quickly. Also, you need rest waaaaay more than you think. Because if you keep giving and giving and giving, eventually you start feeling disappointed in life, people and maybe even in yourself. That is usually the sign that you have gone too far again. Another thing, don't forget to be creative. You need somewhere to put all that feeling. Writing, music, drawing, journaling, whatever works.
