THROWBACK THURSDAY: Interrupting The Patterns That Sabotage The Dream | Opening Our Hearts To What We Want And Are Too Afraid To Go After
We all get comfortable in our routines and the habits we develop and build upon to feel safe in our existence. However, every pattern must be interrupted if something new is to come forth.
You may be a person who likes doing things a certain way because of the predictability it provides you with. You may have experienced a lot of uncertainty in your upbringing, and this created in you a desire to do your best to provide yourself with a sense of certainty in what you do now.
A break or interruption to your regular patterns may affect you more than most for this reason. However, it is ok to open yourself up now to the changes that are being presented to you, and the uncertainties this will bring up.
Predictability can foster a sense of security, but it can also stagnate and trap, if we don’t know how to break apart cycles that we’ve outgrown to welcome in new things.
There is something new and beautiful that is wanting to be birthed through you in co-creation with another or others. It will require for you to let your guard down, interrupt the patterns that you find safety in, and to face certain fears around your own abilities and true sense of value.
When we stay in cycles and situations longer than we should, or with people who no longer align with who we’re becoming…we stunt our own growth, and limit the beautiful new possibilities that want to make themselves known to us.
As human beings, we are taught to remain perpetually loyal to what has always worked. We oftentimes won’t pivot or walk away until something is on its last legs of destruction and dysfunction. We need to see the relationship, job, or decision we’re still applying our energy to go up in literal flames before we’re satisfied that it’s really over, and therefore time to move on.
As the Sun begins its transition out of the lunar energies of Cancer, and into the solar energies of Leo, we all are being challenged in different ways to face those things in our lives that we are stuck giving to because of our beliefs around loyalty and security, and our fears around our own deserved ness in living lives that we love.
Cancer energy finds it hard to branch out and let go of what it knows to be “home” - those habits, people, routines, and environments that we become so used to having in the unfolding of our days. And Leo energy comes in to beckon Cancer out of its shell, and away from that which is dampening its own heart and drive.
There is a careful balance we must strike in all things in life, and every zodiac sign arrives to administer its own brand of medicine to help us foster equilibrium - expanding upon the lessons we’ve encountered with its predecessor. They teach us how to not “throw the baby out with the bath water” - how to hold onto the value and wisdom of what has past, while being brave enough to do something entirely new.
Cancer and Leo work together synergistically to help us face those places in our emotional workings that are producing self-sabotaging outcomes and cycles because we refuse to move or let go. Leo takes Cancer’s hand and teaches the crab that it’s safe to venture into unfamiliar waters. It is safe to want something more than what it has become used to having.
The lion teaches the crab to have the courage and confidence to pursue that something which feels so big in comparison with what it presently has. It shows this small sea creature that it has the ability to adapt to life on land….even with all the uncertainties and fears that will arise with the change to its environment and routine.
Where are we clinging on too tightly to something that is no longer truly beneficial to our growth because of routine or familiarity? And where do we need to embrace the true cry of our hearts, and be courageous enough to walk into something new and unfamiliar?
Where do we need to interrupt the regular patterns that feel secure in their familiarity, but are actually breeding ongoing cycles of self-sabotage? Where do we need to open our hearts to new possibilities, ideas, people, and solutions that normally scare the shit out of us because of our own stories around worthiness and acceptance?
The energy of now invites us to think on and observe these questions within the context of our own lived experiences, and what we are desiring to have moving forward.
A lot of us stay in situations that feel comfortable because we’re too afraid to admit that we want more, and then take the scary steps to actually have it. We buy into stories about our own capability and worthiness that keep us stuck dreaming, and never actively pursuing that dream.
We waste our time making promises for our “tomorrow’s” that we never make good on in our “today’s.” We wake up years later and survey the product of our decisions, and see how much time we’ve wasted hoping on things to occur in our futures that we didn’t put the work into building daily because we were scared, or thought we couldn’t have it all.
We think that there is some cruel joke that we’re the butt of. How can our hearts continually lead us into dreams that we never are able to realise?
And this is where we would be wrong.
Because our hearts only ever show us what we desire and can therefore actually have…for as long as we believe in ourselves, jump in faith, and put the work in that builds upon this belief.
In other words, our “dreams” show us the images of what awaits us on the other side of our own fears and self-doubt. Once we apply the action that shows we believe our dreams can be made real, and that we’re worthy and capable of bringing them out of the dreamscape of our imaginations and onto the canvases and pages of our lives in real time, they appear in material, tangible form.
It is at that moment we look at ourselves and our lives in sheer amazement: all this time we could do this…but were scared into believing we couldn’t. And we survey the efforts made, and bridges burned and crossed to get us to this moment, and realise that it wasn’t nearly as bad or hard as what we were making it out to be in our own minds. And it definitely wasn’t impossible. We tap into deeper reservoirs of courage to dream again and to make our next order BIGGER.
This is the journey we are being beckoned to embark on presently. The energy of Leo is calling us out of our comfort zones, and daring us to follow the devinely aligned desires of our heart that unleash magical threads of wonder, which connect us to higher experiences of lived joy and truth.
If we want something new, we have to be prepared to break our normal patterns of behaviour, and do something different. What are you being called to do that feels wildly different from all that you’ve become accustomed to?
It’s time.

Thanks so much for all your love and support...I appreciate you 💙
Description
This is a sacred online gathering for those ready to step outside inherited suffering, familial harvesting systems, generational harvesting trauma loops, and spiritual entrapment within the false matrix.
We will explore the architecture of family grids - what they are, how they work, and how they were used to bind, control, redirect flow, and siphon. We will also explore various avenues into fully exiting these false “inheritance” systems from the inside out.
This is part teaching, part ritual, and part intuitive soul journeying. It is designed to return you to sovereignty, truth, remembrance and ancestral dignity - removing you from being tethered to these harvesting grids so that you are free to anchor into the New Earth grids.
There will be grounding and meditation work, and an information session followed by a Q&A. All attendees will also receive a PDF bundle to continue to assist them in integrating and grounding following the event, as well as access to an aftercare Telegram messaging group, which is available for seven days for ongoing group discussion and access to Solarah.
Please show up grounded and well hydrated. I so look forward to seeing who is devinely guided to attend 💫
