We have officially entered our Year of the Snake and the lunar influence will still be strong this week as we adjust to the coming changes. Towards the end of January we started to notice some shifts in the communal energy; you might be feeling the tension as we all try to figure out how this year will shape up for us. Stress may be at an all-time high but for this week Spirit is asking you to be willing to leave behind what’s not working for you.
This is a week to set boundaries and focus on self-care. Simplify your schedule so you have more time for your number 1 priority, which is you. This is a good week to say NO to others–be a little more selfish with your time and energy. Listen to your inner voice when it tells you to slow down, and take it easier. Burnout is real, and it can be very challenging to recover from.
Some of you are being called to take a little trip–a getaway of some sort, to leave the world behind. This will help to replenish your energy.
Beginning of the week:
Now that we are in the Yin energy of the snake, take things slow and steady. This is not the week to rush into anything new, force anything to happen, or put in overtime at work. You’ll need rest or you might wind up getting sick from exhaustion. Rest can also look like taking a social media break or going into hermit-mode (which I’ll discuss more for the end-of-the-week section).
Be discerning with your time and energy because energy-vampires are running rampant these days. Focus on listening to your intuition first, before listening to the opinions of others when making a decision. Some of you may be receiving some psychic insights about the people around you.
Some of you may be dealing with a problem at work–not everyone you work with is your friend, so be a little bit more cautious about what you say or how you approach conflict in the workplace.
Middle of the week:
The next couple of days will be more for an energetic and/or spiritual reset of sorts. You might want to consider a quick spiritual cleanse, or cleansing your home/work spaces. You may also want to consider reconnecting your your spiritual family–replacing offerings, or even just sitting and talking to them. Some of you haven’t been to church (or your preferred place of worship) in a long while–now is the time to return. Or find a new sanctuary to visit. This will help to restore your spiritual energy reserves.
Some of you are currently dealing with a breakup or even a divorce. You may be hearing soon about having to go to court or take some sort of legal action. Take the time you need to grieve this loss but also know that the Universe is blessing you with other gifts and opportunities. Clear the way.
End of the week:
This weekend is one to consider staying-in. The energy is pretty sticky with folks who may want to take advantage of you or your energy. You are being urged to create and commit to a relaxation process, which could look like daily meditation or yoga for example. This will help to balance your mind and body connection, and lower stress.
There’s some sort of restriction we may all be dealing with–a little bump in the road which will help us clarify what we want our future to look like. This is the time to get crystal clear on your intentions so that when the time is right you can take action. Some of you have been procrastinating on taking the action Spirit has been guiding you to take, so get to it!
This weekend some of you may be dealing with a person from the past–possibly an ex–someone is coming out of hiding to try and get another chance with you. You may be tempted but remember to keep your guard up. If this person really deserves another chance, let them prove to you they are worthy of it. In other words, make them work for it. But if you are ready to let them go, do that.
