Hit the refresh button

Your 2025 trial period ends this week as Mars returns to the sign it started the year in. The long and arduous journey of retrogrades has now come to completion.

This week brings an opportunity to hit the refresh button. This isn’t just about starting over; it’s about starting better. Don’t discount the fact that hardship, difficulty, and challenges generate deep wisdom.

Spiritual teachings reflect that in order to access more light, energy, or more of what you desire, something has to break first. This is the test to see how much you actually want what you said you wanted. Too often, people give up at the first obstacle or when the fear of failure sets in. What if you gave something just one more shot? Would you hit your target?

If you’ve overcome challenges, surmounted obstacles, healed wounds from your past, faced limiting beliefs, or ignored the naysayers and continued on your path, congratulations! Remind yourself of where you were on January 1; chances are, you’re in exactly the same place.

What has changed is that you are no longer the same person. You’re battle-scarred, stronger, and wiser, and you know what you stand for. This makes you unstoppable.
