Working with the rhythm of the stars

You’ve probably noticed things feeling a bit scattered lately. When the planets start their retrograde cycles, it’s not a cosmic disaster. It’s just a shift in the current.

Don’t rush to push new projects forward right now. When energy turns inward, we’re being asked to tidy up the messes we left behind months ago. You’ll feel it in small ways—a missed email, a message that doesn't land quite right, or that old habit you thought you’d kicked coming back for a visit.

I see people panic when things slow down. They think they’re losing ground. You aren't. You’re just recalibrating. If you try to force momentum during these weeks, you’ll only find yourself doing the same task three times.

Instead, use this phase to review your work and mend frayed connections. Fix the leaky faucet, finish the draft you abandoned, or sit with the plans you’ve already made. If it’s meant to last, it’ll be there waiting when the pace picks up again. Trust the process and stay patient with yourself.
