You know how sometimes you can feel stuck even when you’re doing everything “right”?
Donna came to me last year feeling completely drained. She had so many things she wanted to work on and she was frustrated because she didn’t have the energy and she wasn’t sure she was choosing the right things to focus on. She had no idea what to do and she was at her wits end.
Of course, the first thing I looked at was her energy, not her space. Why energy? Because even though consults are amazing (yes, I am tooting my own horn), a very fast way to shift things is looking at your own personal energy and what energy the Universe is holding for you for the current year. This way, you know best how to use the energy so things feel easier, more aligned and you don’t burn out. It sounds weird, but trust me, it’s never failed me or my clients.
Donna’s Chinese astrology showed that she was in a year of deep, quiet inner reflection. It was not a year to force or put out massive outward movement. I love when clients come to me and I discover they are in this year because when I tell them what’s going on, I literally hear a sigh of relief from them. “It’s not me… oh thank goodness. I felt like I was going nuts.” That’s exactly what Donna said.
Because she now had the information she needed, she was able to take the correct steps to have a successful year. Instead of working on eight different projects, we whittled them down to two manageable ones, the 20% that would give her the 80% of results. Her shoulders relaxed.
She also had a big year coming up the following year so we discussed what specific things would be helpful to do this year to prepare for next year.
Her Human Design showed that she needed rest. She was not meant to be an energizer bunny. Again, deep sigh. She was allowed to really just be herself and know how to cultivate her instinct so that she would easily know how to make decisions that aligned with her talents and her best skills.
Lastly, I also told her that it was important to take intentional time for herself so that she could reflect. We discussed some options for a small spot in the corner of her living room. As an extreme extrovert, she felt less guilty for wanting this and not knowing why. The moment she understood this, everything clicked. This is what happens when your personal energy and your environment work together.
Suddenly everything she was experiencing made sense. She wasn’t lazy, wasn’t behind and she wasn’t missing anything. She was simply working against her own energy and elements.
Donna walked away understanding who she truly was and what energy and elements feed, not drain her. She walked away knowing exactly what she needed to strip away, what she needed to look into and what steps to take to achieve her goals. Precise, manageable and powerful.
Within two weeks, everything in her life started to move. She couldn’t believe that things didn’t have to be so hard. She couldn’t believe that she could get results just by honoring her energy and elements. Yes, it can be that easy.
Next week, I’ll be opening limited AstroStrategy sessions for 2026. For now, just sit with Donna’s story and ask yourself:
What would change in your life if you knew what exact steps to take (and why) to get to your goals with the least amount of effort and the most amount of joy?
