As this podcast goes to air, we are in the eclipse portal of energy. The full moon is on Tuesday, September 17th, at 9:34 p.m. in the sign of Pisces. Deep and sensitive, it carries significant energy, often associated with emotional release, intuition, and spirituality. Full moons are moments of culmination and clarity, while eclipses tend to bring about sudden changes, revelations, or endings.
During this particular event, the Pisces influence enhances themes related to dreams, creativity, compassion, and emotional depth. Individuals may experience heightened sensitivity, making it a potent time for introspection and healing. It can also encourage letting go of past emotional baggage and adopting a more intuitive approach to life.
This energy may manifest in various ways, including the resolution of emotional issues, increased creativity, and a deeper connection to one's spiritual path. It's an excellent time for meditation, artistic expression, and exploring one's inner world. However, remaining grounded is essential, as the emotional waves can be intense.
This eclipse happens as we prepare for the new season. As we make this transition, we bring with us the growth from the summer. What does that mean for me?
As I have talked about, for me, it was a lot of unseen growth, not the outward signs we normally expect to see. My growth was deep within, which helped me ground in my soul’s purpose and reestablish my soul contract.
When our soul wanders, it can be draining.. uncertaintly, self-esteem can drop, trying to please others.
One of the things I learned from this “adventure” was the worth that I bring to myself and to my community. Once I understood that, everything shifted. I found myself grounded in my soul and ready to harvest all my teachings and step forward in renewed faith for this new season.
What is it for you? What energy drain takes you away from valuing your energy, time, and light?
In a recent quiz, The Dark Side of Energy Drains, the #1 drain was the people-pleaser, followed by a close second to the wandering soul, and then the martyr.
People pleasing can have several downsides, especially if you don't have good energy boundaries"
1. Loss of Authenticity: Constantly trying to meet others' expectations can lead to a loss of self-identity and authenticity. Individuals may neglect their own needs and desires to gain approval.
2. Emotional Exhaustion: Trying to please everyone can be mentally and emotionally draining, leading to burnout, anxiety, and stress.
3. Resentment: Over time, people-pleasers may feel resentment towards those they aim to please, as they might feel their efforts are unappreciated or taken for granted.
4. Difficulty Setting Boundaries: People pleasers often struggle to set healthy boundaries, which can lead to being taken advantage of or overwhelmed by commitments.
And more..
Overall, while wanting to please others can stem from kindness, it’s essential to balance this with self-care and authenticity to maintain healthy relationships and personal well-being.
These are just a few examples… want to know more?
Join me in my next masterclass, The Aura of a People-Pleaser, where we will look at this energy drain, and I will offer you ways to work energetically with your aura to break this draining habit and monetize your energy better. I’ll drop the link in the shownotes.
