Stop Forcing, Stop Avoiding
When life starts glitching, my first instinct has always been to push back twice as hard. I slam the jammed drawer. I argue louder to prove Iโm right. I exhaust myself trying to force a broken situation to work.
Other times, when things get uncomfortable, my instinct is to walk away and avoid the friction entirely.
But this week, in the middle of my own chaotic mishaps and chronic frictions, I had a stark realization: The universe isn't trying to punish me; my own rigid resistance is what's causing the pain. When the sky gets heavy, the strongest thing I can do is actually the softest. And to be clear, "being soft" does not mean walking away. Some days it is incredibly hard to stay, show up, and do what I need to doโbut fighting every detour on autopilot is just too exhausting.
My Game Plan for Mars Square Pluto & Sun Trine Pluto
I know that the outer karmic planetsโSaturn, Pluto, Neptune, and Uranusโwill work with us if we are pliable. But if they have to drag us from the beginning just to get us to wake up? Thatโs why the hard part comes in. I learned that the hard way. But with every skid and head smash, I've realized the next wave actually feels lighter when I stop fighting it.
As I listen to this week's energy, here is the exact protocol I am following:
Pivot Instead of Smashing: I am keeping myself open to whatever comes in, and I've set my mind to spot them. If I hit a wall, I'm not trying to smash through it anymoreโI just bounce off it and try something else.
Drop Back in Conflict: When friction shows up, I step back immediately and figure out: What could I have done better here?
Ask for Clarity: When the universe aggressively knocks through noise and disruptions, I don't fight it. I just stop and ask for clarity.
Dropping the Resistance Upfront
Constantly, every day, I remind myself to lay down and stop the resistance upfront. The sooner I do that, the easier the whole process becomes.
The upcoming Libra Moon will soothe it all out soon. Until then, Iโm saying my little prayers, my mantras, my chants, and my affirmations. I am asking the universe to be gentle and gracious with me, and to take me to new heights I didn't expect.
Because when I actively choose to grow in this area and look back on how far I've come, it is really marvelous.
