Angelic Energy Maintenance For Empaths
As an empath and psychic counselor, I have had to learn how best to navigate the intense energies that come with working with others.
Early on, I often found myself drained, overwhelmed, and weighed down by emotional clutter that wasn’t even mine. I didn’t realize how much I was absorbing from clients, loved ones, and even strangers.
Over time, I’ve learned that clearing and protecting my energy is essential not only for my well-being, but also for maintaining clarity in my work. By understanding how to release what doesn’t belong to me and strengthen my auric boundaries, I have been able to thrive both personally and professionally.
Being an empath means that you’re highly sensitive and deeply attuned to the emotions and energy of those around you. You naturally absorb the feelings of others, which can often result in you carrying the emotional weight of others.
This pattern shows up not only in romantic relationships, but also in work, family, and friendships. If you’re constantly picking up the extremes of other people’s energy, it can leave you feeling heavy, drained, irritable, and disconnected from yourself – as if nothing you try makes a difference. This happens because instead of directing your own energy, you’re constantly processing someone else’s.
Empaths are like emotional air purifiers, prone to absorbing the energies of everyone around them – whether it’s a stranger in the grocery store, your partner, your boss, or your family. When your aura becomes clogged and dysfunctional, you experience heaviness, discomfort, and emotional instability.
Astrology Forecast September 23 – 29, 2024
The Gemini Moon brings a burst of mental energy and a desire for variety today, but the square to Saturn this morning can add a layer of tension, making it difficult to concentrate, feeling overwhelmed by tasks and even restricted in expressing our thoughts and opinions.
The Moon’s sesquiquadrate to Venus can also bring subtle tension to relationships today, leading to miscommunication or minor disagreements. Emotionally, we may feel disconnected or frustrated by the lack of harmony, so it is important to remain patient and grounded today.
Tonight the lunar energy will feel lighter, more adventurous and full of possibilities, offering a sense of relief from earlier tensions as the Gemini Moon’s conjunction with Jupiter increases curiosity, optimism and the desire for expansion. Conversations and ideas will flow more freely, making it a good time for brainstorming and socializing.
As the Moon moves into Cancer tomorrow, emotions may deepen and we may feel more sensitive and introspective. We may feel a stronger pull toward home, family, and comfort, and may seek out familiar routines or environments that provide a sense of security. This lunar transit may also stir up old memories and emotional attachments, prompting reflection or healing. Mid-week will therefore be a time to prioritize self-care, be gentle with your feelings, and focus on emotional connections.
Mercury entering Libra on Thursday will encourage us to focus on harmony, balance and diplomacy in our interactions with others. Social interactions will feel more refined, and there’s a heightened sensitivity to the words we use, aimed at keeping the peace and fostering cooperation. We are likely to seek out conversations that promote fairness and understanding, with an emphasis on considering different perspectives.
Learning To Trust Your Intuition
We are all born with an innate intuitive ability. However, many of us tend to shut down this innate aspect of our inner being at a young age.
This can happen for a variety of reasons, but fear is often a major factor. Over time, many of us learn to view our intuition as our mind “playing tricks” or something to be wary of, or even as a source of discomfort that is just all in our imagination.
This misconception is unfortunate because intuition is not something to be feared or dismissed; rather, it is an integral part of our being that provides valuable insight and guidance.
Intuition is a fundamental part of living a full and complete life because it is a key part of our spiritual inner guidance. It cannot be lost or taken away. You are always in control of it and can choose to connect with it at any time.
The key to accessing and making the most of this inner wisdom is learning to trust its messages. But this can be challenging, especially when those messages are unclear or confusing. So, how do you cultivate greater trust in your intuition?
The first step in building trust with your intuition is to acknowledge and track the information it provides. Keep a journal or note-taking app handy and write down any intuitive insights you receive about your plans, goals, people, or situations. By recording these insights, you create a space for learning to understand how your intuition works and for validating your impressions over time.
Astrology Forecast September 16 – 22, 2024
This week begins with an opportunity for deep release and heightened intuitive awareness. Expect some powerful emotional and spiritual shifts as the Full Moon transits Pisces today and culminates in a partial Lunar Eclipse tomorrow.
The energy of a full moon is one of culmination and closure, and with the partial eclipse amplifying its energy, we may experience intense feelings surfacing. Pisces, a water sign known for empathy, dreams, and spiritual connection, will heighten our emotional and metaphysical sensitivity and push us to confront unresolved feelings, patterns, and relationships.
Take some time over the next two days to let go of whatever is holding you back – be it emotional baggage, limiting beliefs, or unhealthy attachments – so that healing and closure can take place.
The Piscean energy of this partial eclipse will also enhancs creativity, compassion, and intuition, making it a powerful time for artistic inspiration, divination and spiritual practice. You may feel more drawn to solitude, meditation, or other reflective practices. Trust your inner guidance as the eclipse brings hidden truths to light, and be open to embracing change with compassion and flexibility.
Ultimately, this full moon eclipse is an opportunity to clear emotional clutter and reset your energy to flow more freely with the rhythm of the universe. However, heightened sensitivity can lead to confusion or feeling emotionally overwhelmed, so it’s important to ground yourself as you move into the week ahead.
The Spiritual Significance Of A September Cleaning
Did you know that cleaning can be so much more than a boring chore? When done mindfully and with intention, it can become a transformative ritual that aligns our physical environment and the spaces in which we live and work with higher spiritual energies.
By clearing away dirt, clutter, and disorder as a form of mindful meditation and cleansing ritual, you can also cleanse your inner being, releasing what no longer serves you and making room for new energies to flow. The act of cleansing can then serve as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, allowing the harmonious flow of life force energy, or chi, through your physical environment.
Everything in the universe is interconnected, including the spaces we inhabit. Metaphysically, our homes and workplaces are extensions of our own energy field. When these spaces are cluttered or dirty, they begin to affect or even block the flow of positive energy, leading to feelings of lethargy, confusion, and spiritual stagnation. More importantly, negative energy imprints and residues tend to accumulate in our homes through our interactions with other people and the outside world. Cleansing thus becomes an essential spiritual practice, similar to meditation or prayer, that helps restore balance, flow and harmony.
The physical act of cleaning is not only about maintaining order and hygiene in our surroundings, but also about aligning our internal energies and preparing our minds for deeper spiritual engagement. It’s like meditation, but with a broom and a mop!
By systematically organizing and cleaning, we can practice mindfulness and focus on the present moment and the task at hand. As unnecessary items are discarded and surfaces are cleaned, we experience a corresponding release of old emotions and thought patterns that no longer serve us. In this way, the simple act of wiping down a shelf or sweeping a floor can become a profound spiritual practice that connects us to the sacredness of the present moment.
The Empowering Eight Energy Of September 2024
As this month unfolds, we find ourselves in a powerful and transformative period in terms of numerology.
September 2024 carries the dynamic energy of the number 8, which resonates strongly with the overall vibration of the year, as this is a year of the number 8.
In numerology, each month is assigned a number based on its position in the calendar year. September is the 9th month of the year, so the number for September is 9.
To find the numerological number for a year, you add up each digit of the year until you reduce it to a single digit. So the number for 2024 is 8.
2024 → 2 + 0 + 2 + 4 = 8
To find the combined energy for a particular month within a particular year, add the number of the month to the number of the year and reduce the sum to a single digit (if necessary).
9 (September) + 8 (year 2024) = 17
Reduce 17 to a single digit: 1 + 7 = 8
Thus, September 2024 carries the dynamic combined energy of the number 8. This creates a powerful alignment that amplifies the qualities of the number 8 this month with significant opportunities to achieve personal growth, balance and abundance.
