Hi Vibers!!
Is everything feeling a little more open since Mercury turned direct?
Are things just ~working~?
I hope so!
In the last week of Leo season (Virgo starts next week), I have been focused on sharing more of my authentic story. Not the big retrospect moments, but the real-time, real questions I ask myself—like yesterday’s post about money, and the previous about defining what you want.
These are things I typically journal about, but I figured in my quest of openness and healing a life-long wound of feeling unseen, these are things I can share about my own vibe. And how I’m checking it.
It’s strange what comes up when I write.
I usually start with an idea, and then it totally turns into something else. Sometimes I re-read what I wrote, even hours after publishing, and think, “Did I write that? I don’t even remember.”
The fun part is reading surprising things that I didn’t know were inside of me. To look at something profound, or weird, or funny, and think, “That was in there?”
The idea of clarity coming from chaos seems to be the revolving theme. That underneath life’s hardships, trials, un-fun times—lay (lie?) the wisdom we’re meant to learn. The lessons our souls have signed up to go through and figure out. They’re not random, they’re what we came here for.
What we do in those situations, and the insight coming out of them, are what matters.
I was meditating this morning about all of this, and then went for a trail run. During both mediation and running, I usually have some kind of dialog with the universe.
“What’s my soul whispering to me?”
“How can I understand more?”
“Where do I go?”
“What feels right?”
“Are you listening?”
“Can I get a sign?”
As I started my run, I got a sign within the first quarter mile.
Not just any sign.
It was an incredible blue feather sticking up—in horse manure.
Strange, right?
It’s not something I’ve ever seen on the trail. It was so bizarre I had to stop and acknowledge it.
As I continued my run, this prompted my chit-chat with the universe.
The questioning I’ve been doing about how to share, and what to share, when to share, has been a big question mark. But finding this rhythm of turning chaos into clarity seems to fit. The alchemy brings life to my own story with what I’m learning, how I think, and how I can make it understandable to someone else. Like you.
I got my sign to keep going.
The manure represented the less glamorous parts of the journey, but even still, symbolizes fertility and growth. Sometimes you have to go through some shitty circumstances to come out the other side strong. To grow, we need fuel. It represented chaos.
The feather, in bright blue, symbolized truth—higher guidance. Either coming out of the manure, or sitting above it. In either case, the wisdom is borne from the mess, and supersedes it. The gift is in the lesson—the clarity.
A few miles in, I found another feather. It wasn’t as symbolic as the blue-manure feather (that I can understand), but it made me realize feathers are a way the universe talks to me. When I ask a question, it drops a feather.
I can think of several incredibly special and impactful moments in my life when feathers seemed to just appear. The universe just floating in to say, this is karmic. This is important. Listen.
They’ve all come at times when I’ve had a big question or just needed that little nudge. That everything would be ok. That the moment wasn’t random. That I was on the right track. That I’m connecting to something bigger. That I’m not alone.
So, I ask you, Vibe Checkers:
→ What’s your question to the universe?
What’s on your mind that you want to know?
What’s chaotic RN that needs some clarity?
→ What signs are you being sent, that may be in plain sight?
Are you seeing them?
Are you looking for them?
Have you asked for one?
Keep vibing.
