Early last Spring, I planted my garden. I was very proud of it because it had a ton of vegetables. I might finally become the vegetarian many spiritual practitioners recommend us to become.
I woke up one morning, and all my plants were gone! And there it was, that little rabbit with his belly complete! I ran to Home Depot and bought a fence and new seeds. Aha! I am smarter than you are, little fellow, or so I thought! A few days passed, and my garden looked green and beautiful until the little fellow found its way back inside, and everything was gone. All my vegetables were gone again, and so were my dreams of becoming a vegetarian, sigh. That little fellow had the patience of (as my very Catholic aunt would say) a Saint!
I waited and waited for days to find another way. The rabbit was gentle in its approach, quiet, alert, skillful, and patient, but also quick when it found a way to enter my garden. And that’s how the energies of 2023 are, which it’s the year of the rabbit.
When I connected with the energies of 2020 and 2021, I remember they felt fast and furious. There were many rapid changes due to COVID-19 and its impact on everything we do. When connecting to 2023 energy, however, change is still coming, but the energy is gentler, quiet, and more patient. For many years the world operated on male energy. Now, in 2023, the power feels more female. We have experienced a lot of changes, and now we should be in our receiving mode, but just like the rabbit, we should remain alert and follow the omens left by our spirit team to make changes. When we follow signs/warnings, the changes happen quickly (just like the rabbit!) but will be more purposeful, intentional, and direct.
Working from our female energy will allow us to be guided by our hearts, not our minds. It will enable us to listen more and stop acting mindlessly. We (humans) are coming from an era of “grinding,” “making things happen,” and taking control. In 2023, however, we are being told we should remain open to the signs of the universe, open to the omens, and follow them and act when we see them, while still following the natural flow of the universe. Control less and listen more is what the energy of 2023, the year of the rabbit, tells us to do.
I hope, dear spiritual friend, you follow me on the blog as we will delve into how to better align with the energies of 2023 to manifest our desires in career, finances, and, most importantly, in love.
