This particular cycle can be more potent - and challenging - than some others we've experienced. With understanding and foresight we can weather the emotional storm with little fallout or re-dos. If we become unconscious to these energies, it's very possible our emotional responses could cause us to say or do something we might regret.

One way these energies can make us feel is like being on the other side of a door that won't open and having something important to say to a person on the other side of the door. The problem is we can't open the door to communicate. The more that we can't open the door, the more urgent it can feel to open it and say what we have to say. 

Here are a few things you can do to override the ego tendency of pushing and insisting something must happen in one of these moments. Applying these tips can help you a lot this week.

Coping with Intensity

We're sitting in intense energies now - some catalyzed by planetary forces and some a natural part of humanity's awakening. Accept what is, acknowledging that this is part of living now. Rather than fighting what you encounter, work with it as part of your spiritual path.

I suggest taking more deep breaths, more walks outside, more time-outs from focusing on issues. To create your own inner sanctum of inner peace is among your optimal resources for walking through the fire of these times.

Meditate more often than you usually do. Stop the world more often than you usually do, too - looking out the window if you're inside or gazing into the sky if you're outside.

Another tool is working with time in a quantum way. Yes, some things seem urgent, especially to the ego mind caught in linear time. When you are behind that door that won't open and you are enraged about not being able to open it to communicate immediately, your ego can push you in unwise ways. Your wise self operating in quantum, however, trusts in divine orchestration. It instinctively knows that a closed door doesn't stay closed - all things in this world are temporary.

When you feel really stuck, go to your heart and do some deep breathing. Your heart knows truth. At your core you can be at peace - regardless of Mars/Uranus and the world's chaos. Go to this place often not just when things become choppy, but as your spiritual resource for being in this physical world. Trust that you are okay and that you will be guided to your next best steps.
