Embrace Collaboration: Dropping the Masks, 3rd to 9th August
The energy for the first week of August in the Soap Opera of the Stars says, “collaboration”
I’m an intuitive coach and this is my energy report for the 3rd to the 9th of August.
While researching this week’s transits, I got a clear download from the guides. It said,
You are all having a collective experience of changes having sped up. You are all at different stages of feeling miserable yet you continue to wear the masks that keep you “functional”. Drop those masks, allow your vulnerability to be expressed, allow yourself to receive help, and change the narrative.
It made me a little worried, I am a part of the collective and I worry about having to “ask for help”. I was told that it was about collaboration. If everyone is dealing with the process of change, and admittedly change is hard then everyone needs something. And there is always someone who has learnt a different lesson and needs to learn what you have. It’s like barter, but for emotional support. And if you are willing to express your vulnerability and let your mask down and say, “I am feeling challenged, I want some advice.”, in all likelihood, the support you receive will be astonishing.
According to the guides, the cure to the loneliness epidemic is to let go of that mask of having it all together. And here is how to do it in a way that feels and keeps you safe.
Step 1 is to understand why collaboration is needed. You accept in material terms that you require resources from external sources. You moved from a society where everyone attempted to do everything themselves to one where you traded services and goods. Similarly, you are aware that energy from past lives, the set-up of the current lifetime and what has been passed on from the ancestors come together to create the particular gifts and shadows that make you. Is it not then logical, that you cannot have everything and you need to allow the gifts of others to relieve you of your shadows and use your gifts to relieve others of their shadows? This is coexistence, it is the way the world has been created. You see it all around you in the way nature works. The first step is to acknowledge that you have gifts and you “need” gifts.
Step 2 is looking at the belief systems that form the basis of why you have the mask on. Look for the shame you feel and that voice telling you that you “should” have it together in a particular area of your life. Some of you feel shame about the state of your relationships, some finances, some of your body, some of your education, some spiritual progress, for some your sexual preferences, and for some your existence itself; this will show up differently for different persons, but this applies to all. The guides are saying, shame is a common feeling. Your feelings are what make you all the same. Use shame to identify, where you need to express that vulnerability and ask for that support.
Step 3 is to identify who will provide you with a safe space for this communication. Once more, look at the “shoulds” — you may feel a particular person “should” be the one to help you. Usually, you feel this way because the person and you have a relationship that allows for the expectation of that help coming from them. They may however need the help you are looking for even more than you do. If you are honest with yourself, you may find that your expectation is correct (yay!). Alternatively, you may also find that your expectation is what is keeping you stuck in the first place.
For example, you may be looking at your partner to regulate your nervous system, and they may be the reason for the dysregulated nervous system in the first place. The solution here is to find ways outside of the partnership to regulate your nervous system and then see if you and your partner can maintain that space for each other. The step is to look for a safe space that may look like therapy, books, a random reel or YouTube video or a conversation with a friend.
The point of Step 3 is to find clarity on the spaces where you can take that mask off and be vulnerable. Without Step 3, your attempt will be half-hearted and keep you stuck in the loop of “functionality” and in the words of the guides “mediocrity”.
In the analogy of the seed, it is lying on the forest floor, trying to understand where its roots need to emerge from to find suitable material to keep growing. The old systems are on their way out and the guides are showing me contracts being torn up, as if to say more and more partnerships and associations are breaking up or finding new forms because they do not serve you anymore. As the consciousness of the planet continues to evolve, the patriarchal, control-based systems that have kept us in check are bound to fall apart. This is because the first step to freedom is individuation, it is understanding the fact that you are an individual who has a unique set of needs and desires and that you are worthy of them.
This week’s energy is part of a karmic seeding moment for everyone and is about learning from each other’s experiences. The guides are saying, that you can learn from other’s mistakes, you do not need to follow the dictates of “this is how it was always done”, and you can find your path and the tribe that walks with you on this path. Look at your experiences as your badge of honour for being alive, accept them and allow others to learn from them.
Let us look at what this means for each sign. For this, you need to look at your astrological chart or connect with me and I’ll let you know your top three signs. I use whole sign houses and Hellenistic astrology for this breakdown. Take what resonates.
- Your Rising sign is about you — your body, mind and soul. The question to ask is what is going on in my life?
- Your Sun sign is your career and themes related to your father and father figures. The question to ask is what is influencing my career or significant masculine relationships?
- Your Moon sign is your emotional space, your mother and mother figures. The question to ask is what is influencing my emotions or significant feminine relationships?
