The collective shadow/distraction 🌚
There is a shift in the collective energy right now—a heaviness moving through the Earth that can feel like shadow, like weight, like something quietly pulling at you.
Over the coming days, this energy may show up as distraction.
A pull back into old habits.A desire to escape.Numbing through food, alcohol, or environments you’ve already outgrown.Questioning your path.Feeling tired, emotional, or disconnected.
This is the shadow aspect of growth.
Not here to break you—but to reveal what still has a hold on you.
With the New Moon on May 1st, there is an opening—a moment to become aware of what sits beneath the surface. Not to fear it, not to avoid it, but to acknowledge it.
Because what is unseen will continue to lead you.What is acknowledged, you can shift.
For me, I’ve chosen to move through this energy, not sit in it.
I’ve been getting things done.Pushing myself when I’d rather avoid.Moving my body when it feels heavy.Facing the things I’ve put off instead of escaping them.
Not perfectly—but consciously.
Because this energy can either pull you backwards…or be used as fuel to move you forward.
Be mindful over the next week. Not everything you feel is truth—some of it is old patterns asking to be fed again. Some of it is distraction trying to pull you away from your alignment.
You don’t need to react to it.
Sit with yourself.Notice what comes up.And then choose—intentionally—what you do next.
This energy will pass—but what you choose to do with it matters.
Stay grounded. Stay aware. Stay in your power.
The shadow only has strength when it goes unrecognised.
Be kind to yourself. ❤️
