“We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” — Joseph Campbell
It takes the average baby 1,000 hours of practice before they can walk. Some learn to scoot first. Some love to crawl. Others prefer to take their first steps right away. However, what remains the same across the board is the practice of falling down many times, only to get up and try again.
I mention this because this week's energy supports us in going outside of our comfort zones so we may find that next level. We have a powerful opportunity to shed all unwanted baggage from the past, in order to help us lighten up—move forward lighter and freer than before.
There are two planets, Neptune and Uranus, that are both in retrograde this week. At the same time, they form a powerful, supportive aspect with each other. Neptune revisits the sign of Pisces and will stay there until January 2026. Then it will move forward to Aries. Neptune will not visit Pisces again for about 165 years!
Neptune is a slow-moving planet, so right now, as Neptune connects with Pisces for one last time, we have a highly spiritual opportunity. Neptune invites us to go back in time and revisit our past, our emotional baggage, and our spiritual “delays.” It’s a time that can be reached with reflection, and we will experience a greater ability to download deep spiritual lessons from the past.
Since Neptune forms a positive aspect with Uranus, we are given an extra opportunity to achieve a real spiritual breakthrough and shift. Uranus always represents progress, allowing us to make a real leap toward our better, more elevated selves.
This will be a great week to meditate. Visualize yourself going back in time and releasing any energy that still holds you back. Visualize moving forward and becoming free from all the old baggage. You can completely let go.
It’s a powerful time for our imagination and creativity to be expressed, as well. If you are trying to tap into your creative mind, this week is your week. If we slow down and take the time to activate those two powerful planets and their supportive connection this week, we can all elevate our game significantly.
