Spirituality
Remember, life is a marathon, not a sprint; processing the lessons of yesteryear
BY GARCIA AKUA
Happy New Year Star Family! We are officially in 2021. We have survived 2020, now we embark on a new journey. 2020 was by far a year for the books. We have grown so much since then. What have you learned? How have you grown? 2020 gave most of us 2020 vision in hindsight. Have you taken the time to process what we have just experienced?
New year, new goals and we just continue to go,go, go, but have you really slowed down to feel your feelings? Have you processed the multitude of emotions before moving into new goals? We have to make some adjustments, we cannot continue operating in the same means as if we all weren’t in the most stressful year of most of our lives.
Trauma changes us. Isolation changes us. Fear cripples us. We need to be mindful of how the energies and experiences of last year have impacted us. It is ok to stop and smell the roses, life isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon.
You know the vibes. Let’s look to the sky to see what 2021 has in store for us. It’s time to level up once again. On December 21st, 2020, we had a cosmic event called the Grand Conjunction. The Grand Conjunction occurs every 200 years, it’s when Saturn and Jupiter meet up in the same sign, signaling a shift in energy. Saturn and Jupiter met up in Aquarius and will be spending most of the year there.
Aquarius energy is very intellectual, it’s original, unique and very humanitarian like in nature. Aquarius can come across as detached as it seeks the big picture solutions. We have transitioned into solution-based energies. Aquarius is an air sign. The air element represents thoughts, communication and ideas. Aquarius is an innovative sign, so much of this year will be about new mindsets, new ideas around the way we live as a collective and highlight how our thoughts impact our lives as individuals and as a society.
We will also have the ruler of Aquarius, Uranus, in Taurus this year. Uranus is the planet of great awakening, freedom and sudden change. Taurus is the first earth sign of the zodiac, representing our material possessions and values. Uranus in Taurus brings changes to the way we acquire, save and maintain material possessions. We will see more digital currencies come to the mainstream as Uranus is also digital energy. There can be sudden changes for the good or bad, so be mindful of your spending habits, as they can be impacted.
This is the year we apply the lessons we have learned last year. When Uranus is at play, things can be very unpredictable. Sudden change can come at any time to wake up the collective. Jupiter in Aquarius calls us to expand, and Saturn in Aquarius calls us to put in the necessary boundaries and restrictions for our long-term goals. Both require a new mindset to achieve success.
The virus is still the main event and for most of the year we will have to deal with issues surrounding it. There’s so much in the media that leaves us uncertain as to what will happen next. Vaccines, lockdowns, travel restrictions etc have taken up much of our attention. Yes, the virus is serious but you can’t consume your thoughts all the time with it. We still have a life to live.
What do you want out of life this year? What does healing look like to you? What does freedom feel like to you? How can your unique gifts uplift yourself, your family, tribe and collective? Focus on those things. We can easily be consumed by fear, or we can create a new mindset for ourselves and create a life we love, regardless of what is happening outside of us.
Our thoughts shape our reality. We have moved into the time of Aquarius which is all about new, innovative ways of thinking so we create a new innovative way of living, thriving and healing.
Remember, life is a marathon, not a sprint. Process the lessons of yesteryear and step forward in your truth, your reality depends on it. Happy 2021 family, sending you all an abundance of love, light and power!
