If you’re reading this: congratulations. You have made it this far. The energy of the eclipse mixed with a dash 9/9 has been dragging everybody. I’ve been seeing it in my circle, experiencing it in myself- we are being pushed to let go of things that used to work. Old habits, routines, even ways of thinking that once kept us afloat, but are now…But now don’t offer the fix we used to experience. And it’s not just uncomfortable-it feels like losing control.
Absolutely terrifying.
Because none of us really know what to do with it. Like, okay universe, cool… we’re releasing, we’re ending, we’re surrendering. But then what? What the fuck are we supposed to do after the letting go, when the new beginning hasn’t even shown up yet?
The truth is, this season isn’t about having all the answers.
It’s about trust. Losing control is the assignment. The more we fight it, the harder it drags us. But when we surrender? That’s where the power lives.
I know, holding on feels easier, Because it’s familiar. It’s safe, even if it’s not good for us. We tell ourselves: “Maybe it’ll get better, maybe I’ll adjust, maybe I can carry this a little longer”. But the truth is, carrying what’s dead weight keeps you stuck. It keeps your hands full when blessings are waiting to be placed in your palms.
This 9/9 portal along with the eclipse is basically the universe saying:
- That old version of you? Deceased. Stop reviving them.
- That comfort zone you’ve been hiding in? Too small. Stop acting it still fits.
- That hustle or grind you’ve outgrown? Done. Stop forcing it.
Would I be me if I didn’t share how I get myself through this energy?
Of course not. So, here it goes;
- I sit with myself. You already know that my go-to coping mechanism is journaling. In combination with meditation and prayer; I’ll sit in silence allowing myself to feel without judgement and write it out. By writing it out I create more space within me.
- I move my body. A short morning stretch, or a little twerk in my living room-movement helps shake off what feels stuck.
- I share. Albeit with God/the universe or my people. Just like journaling, by letting it out, I create space for answers-for new energy. But also, it reminds me that I am safe enough to express. That I am held and I don’t have to carry it all by myself.
- I ground myself. Through grounding meditations, affirmations out loud, or breathing exercises, It reminds me I’m here, I’m safe, and I have what it takes to support myself.
Release doesn’t mean failure. It doesn’t mean loss. It means trust. They’re preparation. Every time you unclench your fists, you’re showing the universe you’re ready to receive more.
If you’re feeling stagnant, because of this. Please don’t. This season is not about adding more to your plat, instead it’s about lightening the load so we can move differently. So we can show up in your next chapter with peace, clarity, and power. The new beginning we’ve been manifesting is on the other side of this release.
So let yourself grieve the old version of you, if you need to. Gather your friends, host a hypothetical funeral for that phase- but then let it go. Because the moment you do, you’ll realize you weren’t losing; you were making space. And maybe I’m absolutely delulu, but I believe that after this we’re going to be grateful for surrendering.
I believe it’ll all work out.
