Goodbye & good ridance

In short, 2023 kicked my ass.

On a personal level, I had a few different energies swirling around me that contributed to the frustration and feeling overwhelmed all of 2023.

Numerology
First off, in terms of numerology, I was in a 4 year. The traditions of numerology teach that we all go through 9 year cycles, and by year 4 it is said you know what you want, but you pause to review all things in your life to ensure you have safety, security and a strong sense of structure, before continuing to move forward.
Well let me tell you, as a Sagittarius Sun, I hate structure. I hate routine and I hate being forced into anything. Turns out, the energies don't care what I like, they do what is best to support my highest good.
So all year, this Mystic was brought out of spirit and down to earth to deal with money, housing, kids, schooling and relationships. I dealt with racism and violence towards my children. I had broken vehicles which then led to nightmare interactions with mechanics. I also discovered cracks in my home foundation, went through health scares with my aging parents, and financially the whole year was a mess as we had to look into renewing our mortgage and reviewing our debts. 

Astrology
Next up the world of astrology kicked my butt.
It is said that in our late 30s and early 40s, we go through a series of 4 astrological events - the midlife transits — hit, potentially turning your world upside down in an effort to promote growth and change. Lucky me, I went through 2 of them in 2023, one lasting most of the year. Let me tell you, when Uranus, the planet of Great Awakening opposes the spot it was in when you were born, it forces change. This transit's all about exploring your need for more authenticity, freedom, individuality, your voice — all in an effort, to get clear on your path, your purpose, and spur positive growth. The pressure was real in 2023!

Menopause
Next up and my least favourite, lovely menopause decided to show herself this year. Suddenly, with no warning, I started having trouble sleeping soundly and started to wake up each morning completely soaked through. A few weeks of that and my period arrived a full week early. Ta Da! Make room for Menopause!
Look I know it's something we all go through, but seriously? I feel like I've just gotten some independence and structure back now that my kids are almost teens, but of course nature throws me a spin and decides it's best I move through these next few years without good sleeps, yet with lots of hot flashes and unpredictable mood swings. Thanks for that. My family thanks you too.

Boundaries
All year I was shown areas I needed to focus on to create structure and safety to support myself, but I guess I wasn't listening in terms of my own health, because by December, I found myself in the ER with a heart rate just above 140. The pain was intense and breathing was difficult. I had to cancel clients, pull out of events and simply rest. As I did so, I realized that I had opened my business practice up so wide, that I no longer maintained any boundaries. I wasn't working smart or safe. I was making myself sick. 
I started paying close attention to my body and found out that each time I do a reading, so each time I go into Spirit, I get a fever. Sometimes it's very slight of only a degree or two, but I have done readings where I've gone up to 102 degrees. It does come down minutes after but I realized it's something I have to take into account when I am driving around and working long hours. 
I also had to face the fact that entering the homes of strangers was not safe and it was completely draining me. In one home, I was doing reading for a bachelorette party, a lady fell in the bathroom hitting her head. Because everyone else was inebriated, I held the lady, with her blood on me, I watched as her eyes rolled back in her head. Thankfully she is still with us, but my goodness, when things like that happen, you have to think. The conclusion I've reached, I must do readings in my own safe space. So until I have an office in town, I will only do readings virtually and over the phone. 

2023 was a year I won't soon forget.
A year of being pushed to face situations I didn't want to handle. 
A year of being brought problems I didn't think I could find solutions for.
A year of feeling overwhelmed and alone. 

But... big picture, for us all as a collective, 2023 was about opening up to new possibilities. This past year I most definitely started to look at various arrangements and structures that I had never thought to look at before and I bet you did too. Of course with me, the focus was on my security, and yours may have been different but in the end, 2023 showed us what a mess things are. 

In 2023, the truth begin to surface. Reality is showing herself around every corner now and in 2023 you were asked to hold your head high, pay attention and start to open yourself to new possibilities. 

Because in 2024 those possibilities will begin to show themselves and each of us will have to adapt.

The Age of Aquarius is here.
