If you are an empath, starseed, or highly sensitive person, you know that protecting your energy and learning how to set boundaries are foundational for a happy life. Spending time on self-care allows you to be the light and share whatever message or love you came here to spread. However, at certain times it’s harder than others to stay centered.
There’s a theme energetically that has come up before and that I’ve felt is currently rising again globally. It is a PURGE of sorts. The fever pitch of intensity, division, and projected hatred is overwhelming. Narcissistic abuse in all forms is rampant, and tragically there seems to be an inability for some people to have compassion for fellow humans who do not share their beliefs. This is nothing new, but the battle between light and dark is on full display. Remember that if you’re still buying into the left vs right rhetoric, you’re missing the point.
I’m living this right along with all of you, waves of incredible intensity included. These past few years have been gnarly and quite traumatic, but the main point here is that we are purging, physically, emotionally, and spiritually (I’ve personally had a lot of the physical variety which is rare for me). It’s not pretty, but it’s necessary. The old self (and many larger, collective “selves”) is dying, which can be terrifying and painful (like the Tower card in Tarot). It’s a choice point: will you stay comfortable or safe yet uninspired and out of alignment with your soul, or will you take the leap of faith? This will look different for everyone but may include career, jobs/work, friendships, romantic relationships, habits, and beliefs.
Additionally, as I have shared on my Instagram, it can be interesting to note astrological transits and how they play out here on Earth. Eris square Pluto is an example, with other dynamics echoing similar themes. What this may mean for you is that old unprocessed pain or anger is asking to be felt and transmuted, which is part of the purge. This can be very intense but it’s NEEDED. Eris is the goddess of discord and awakening and Pluto is the planet of death and rebirth. If this resonates, you’re moving through your shadow, all the feelings and beliefs we judge as ugly or not ok (shame, hatred, jealousy, etc) and thus disown.
If you don’t tend to them in yourself, you’ll project them out onto the world and other people, labeling them as wrong or bad (abuse is a different category of course). Sound familiar? This is playing out collectively as well as individually, if you hadn’t noticed! These themes will continue, including with Pluto return energies of the USA and world. The process ultimately leads to rebirth, a new, truer self, but can be very messy as the old falls away. See my channeled blog for some more aspects of this great shift as well.
There was a rare astrological “Yod” recently too, which relates to destiny and life purpose. Older timelines are closing, at long last! Most of us sensitives, empaths, healers are letting go of versions of ourselves, people, jobs, situations, etc, to make space for what we came here to do and be.
The key through the purge is to trust the process, allow all emotions and energies to be OK and come up for release, and to listen to your intuition (as always). You may also need more alone time than usual to process and reflect. Quiet stillness allows the soul to speak and your truth to emerge. When we don’t do this and then listen to what is there, we tend to come up against more resistance, detours, and struggles. You may also find practices like simple breathing, meditation, journaling, and exercise especially restorative. An additional, unexpected tip is to wash your hands! Not only is cleanliness next to Godliness (lol), but energetically it helps. You can even imagine all that doesn’t serve you going down the drain with the soapy water.
Following your destined path means being true to yourself — NOT what others or society tells you. It becomes clear through your emotions, interests, synchronicities, and opportunities. People around you may react to who you are becoming because they unconsciously sense the changes and it makes them uncomfortable. Remember that is to be expected and is not your burden to bear.
