This is a week for letting go lovelies. It’s a New Moon Aquarius – primed and ready for dissolution of the old, and an easy pathway for you to receive the new. (If you want to know more about the astrology, you can go to my YouTube channel.)
For me, the inquiry around letting go is always:
Why do you insist on staying when you know it’s not a fit?
Why do you cling to something that isn’t supporting your growth?
Why do you need a harsh lesson to fully let go?
The mind makes up so many reasons around why you should stay, keep trying, or continue to use some thought process to keep you safe, secure and content.
Usually, they are centered around thoughts similar to this:
But what if I end up alone?
Maybe he/she will change.
I am comfortable, why make waves?
But we’ve been friends for so long … he/she is my oldest friend.
When it comes to relationships, I believe there are certain friends / family members that offer unconditional love and support; those individuals that offer a reciprocal, quiet connection, that is unwavering. Those people who you may not talk to every day, but when you do connect, it’s like no time has passed.
But when conversations become a ruminating analogy of the past that can be a cause for concern. When discussions are based on projection and judgement, this is a time to be curious.
Let’s remember that relationships ARE always a reflection of who you are, who you were, or who you are becoming. And it’s your job to distinguish what the current status is and how to navigate it. You needn’t continue to entertain friends or family members, who cannot accept your growth. These individuals still see you as the same person you were 5/10/20 years prior.
This is stifling.
People will fall away. Environments will begin to look different. Your perspective has changed and therefore you have changed. Consequently … everything begins to shift.
This happens with your career, job, environment, ideas, and perspectives. It’s obvious in relationships because all of us have had an experience (or two) where we have had to just simply let go.
It gets a bit trickier to notice when we’re talking about a job, or a career, or pattern we have.
But it’s all the same.
In fact, the “relationship” or job, or situation under question, reflects your own thoughts and patterns that you hold so deeply. So, when you talk about letting go of a relationship for example, its’ really about letting go of that thought pattern that is the underbelly.
This is a concept that can be hard to connect with immediately, but if you get quiet, and dig a little deeper it will reveal itself. Once the pattern is recognized, it can be released. In the release of the pattern, you will notice things dropping away.
You are a magnet, so everything outside of you is reflecting your inner compass. Remember to look inward when letting go … you can let go of that job, person, or situation but if the thread is still woven into the fabric of you, it will show up again and again until you change the pattern.
