Is Your ‘Friend’ A Toxic Energy Thief?
Do you have a friend who constantly makes you feel unbalanced and drained, while adding no value to your life? We’ve all had that so-called ‘friend’ who doesn’t seem to care much about our well-being. Sometimes they don’t even seem to like us at all!
They are that fair-weather friend who drains your energy and constantly exhibits toxic behaviors that destroy your inner peace, steal your joy, and disrupt your spiritual balance. Interacting with them increases your stress or anxiety, and even triggers a sense of disconnection from your true self.
If you have such a “friend,” consider this a serious wake-up call. After all, with a friend like that, who needs enemies? And if you have more than one such friend, consider this an urgent intervention!
The truth is that having an energy vampire masquerading as a friend in your life poses significant spiritual dangers and negative effects on your overall health and well-being.
Constant interaction with someone who is unkind and unsupportive hinders your personal and spiritual growth. Instead of uplifting and encouraging you, they serve only to hold you back and may even discourage you from pursuing your dreams. These people are not your friends.
It reminds me of the karate classes I used to take. We were taught to have ‘situational awareness.’ In karate, this refers to being fully aware of your surroundings, including potential threats, opportunities, and obstacles during training, sparring, or self-defense scenarios. It involves being mentally present and observing the environment, the opponent, and any relevant factors that could affect the outcome of a situation.
Astrology Forecast May 20 – 26, 2024
This week’s astrovibes will be dominated by Gemini energies and a lot of social activity. It begins with the Sun entering Gemini and the Moon entering Scorpio this morning, creating an interesting energy dynamic.
Gemini is light-hearted and adaptable, while Scorpio is intense and focused. Finding a balance between these energies will be key during this transit. You may need to navigate between exploring new ideas and diving deep into emotional matters without becoming overwhelmed.
With the Moon in Scorpio, emotions may also be more pronounced and sensitive. Be aware of how you express yourself and how others around you may be feeling. It’s a good time for honest and authentic communication, but also for respecting boundaries and emotional privacy.
The Moon will be full in Sagittarius early Thursday, bringing a burst of enthusiasm, a desire to explore, and a sense of optimism about the future. This can be a great time to set goals, take risks, and embrace new experiences. We may feel inspired to seek truth, meaning, and deeper understanding, and may be drawn to philosophical or spiritual pursuits in order to expand our knowledge and broaden our perspective.
On Thursday afternoon, Venus enters Gemini, bringing a shift in our approach to relationships and social activities. We may feel more inclined to socialize, engage in lively conversation, and connect with people who share our interests. In particular, this transit favors relationships that are mentally stimulating and allow for freedom and flexibility.
Astrology Forecast 13 – 19 May 2024
The Moon entering Leo this morning starts the week with vitality, creativity and a desire to shine. We will feel imbued with confidence and assertiveness.
Embrace this energy today by expressing yourself authentically, leading with positivity and enjoying the spotlight in a balanced and constructive way.
Be aware, however, of the added emotional intensity that a Leo Moon opposition to Pluto in Aquarius can bring, as we are likely to experience emotions more strongly, with a tendency towards power struggles or confrontation, especially in personal or group dynamics.
Pluto represents issues of power and control. With this aspect, there may be a struggle between the assertion of personal power (Leo) and the desire for collective change or transformation (Aquarius).
Be aware of power dynamics. Approach situations at work or in your business today with awareness and mindfulness, acknowledging the potential for intense emotions and power dynamics, but also seeking constructive growth and change.
Mercury’s entry into Taurus on Wednesday will inspire us to be more logical, methodical and grounded in our thinking and actions. We will tend to focus more on tangible, realistic ideas and solutions.
Communication also becomes more deliberate and steady during Mercury in Taurus, so we may want to speak and express ourselves more slowly and deliberately, using clear and concise language. Paying more attention to details in our conversations, tasks and plans will increase productivity and accuracy in our daily activities.
The Divine Timing Of A Soulmate Connection
A dear client I have been reading for many years called me the other day to finally confirm what I always knew was going to happen. As much as I was not shocked or even surprised, this event “blew her mind,” as she bluntly put it.
You see, for years she had sworn up and down that she would “never, ever, ever in a million years” hear from her soulmate again, but now she has!
From my perspective, it was always just a matter of time. For years I told her not to lose faith and to hold on to the mystical love they shared because one day he would come back to her. But she kept shrugging and rolling her eyes and muttering things like “in my dreams” and “when pigs fly.” She just couldn’t accept the fact that he would one day be coming back into her life.
I must confess that while I was not surprised by this long-anticipated outcome, I was a bit intrigued by it for the simple reason that I thought for sure that her constant negative thoughts and feelings about the situation would eventually create so much energetic resistance that it would prevent her from reconnecting with him at all! But not even her constant self-sabotage and negativity could stop the turning of the wheels of destiny and divine timing. If we are meant to connect with someone who is our soulmate, it’s bound to happen one way or another, whether we trust the process or not.
Astrology Forecast May 6 – 12, 2024
The week begins with a Taurus Moon transit this afternoon, culminating in a Taurus New Moon tomorrow.
During a Taurus New Moon we feel a stronger connection to the physical world, a desire for stability and security in our lives, and increased attention to money, resources and material goods.
The next few days are therefore a good time to assess our financial situation and consider our values in relation to wealth and possessions.
It is also a powerful time for setting intentions and planting seeds for new beginnings. Given Taurus’s focus on stability and perseverance, intentions set during this time may relate to building lasting foundations or cultivating patience and perseverance in the pursuit of our goals.
We will also find it easier to maintain emotional stability and resilience in the face of challenges ans will be drawn to experiences that stimulate our senses – such as enjoying good food, indulging in luxury or spending time in nature.
Overall, the Taurus New Moon encourages us to slow down, connect with our physical bodies and the world around us, and focus on building a secure and fulfilling life based on our true values.
On Thursday and Friday you may feel more inclined to socialise, connect with others and express yourself verbally, thanks to the Gemini Moon. It will be a good time for networking, attending social events or just catching up with friends and loved ones.
