You might think the general confusion you feel about life is something unique to your situation.

This is just your mind playing tricks on you, however!

The energy for this year is almost existentially painful.

We’re all wrestling with major decisions in life in all areas including career choices, love choices and whether we should settle or make the jump with no guarantee we will survive.

This is just a part of the test going on in the sky right now.

It’s the Mercurial energy of the mind trying to control and calculate the outcome and Jupiter trying to hope for the best and aim higher because life is all about that big jump.


Gemini season just began a couple of days ago.

With this much Mercurial energy in the sky, the temptation is actually to let our minds make the “logical predictions” about the future.

The problem with that is the mind is actually influenced by emotion.

When we’re mentally exhausted by one problem after another, our minds just resort to the nearest coping mechanism.

Unfortunately, that nearest coping mechanism is pessimism or convincing ourselves we’re never going to make it.


No matter where you are in life or what you’re wrestling with, I bet I can describe what is going on with you right now:

So, you have a big goal ahead of you.

It feels almost impossible to achieve, almost like climbing a mountain or surviving in the wild.

You don’t even know where to start.

Because your mind is exhausted, instead of trying to come up with a creative solution, it’s now running a whole film about the past mistakes, regret and feeling inadequate or undeserving of what you’d like to achieve.

Our minds are programmed to stay within safety and to calculate within what we already know, so leaving the safe zone feels like a huge survival risk.

It is not an exacerbation to say your mind is making it seem you won’t survive on your own in the wild.

So, right now, it is convincing you to quit even before you try.

This is all part of the set up.

Here’s why you CANNOT LOSE HOPE RIGHT NOW:
