#42 Trusting, Timing, and Alignment

Can you imagine a world where starting something meaningful holds more value than finishing it? This week on the Cosmic Energy Report, we challenge the conventional notion that success is measured by completion. With the Sun in gate 53 and Earth in gate 54, we're highlighting the importance of gradual progress and laying a solid foundation. Join us as we explore the transformative power of taking baby steps and trusting in divine timing. We'll also discuss how Mercury in gate 33 emphasizes the power of storytelling to uplift others, and how Venus and Mars encourage us to trust that we will receive the support and knowledge we need when the moment is right. Let the wisdom of Jupiter and Saturn guide you to the blessings that come from surrendering to the universe's timing.

We also turn our attention to connecting with our true, authentic purpose. With Neptune in gate 25 and Pluto in gate 60, we emphasize the importance of trusting a higher driving force and staying present through gratitude. The North and South nodes teach us about self-regulation and wisdom, highlighting the significance of discipline, knowledge, and experience. Learn how to release the pressure to always finish what you start and embrace divine timing instead. This week's energy encourages you to take baby steps and align with the next right action. Join us for an episode filled with insights and inspiration to help you navigate your true purpose with trust and authenticity.

This week the message is all about trust and timing. Trusting that ideas are urging you toward alignment, and that when you move in flow of alignment, you will be moving in right timing… one gradual step at a time. Slow and steady, like the tree growing on the mountain.

Enjoy!

Some contemplations for this week:

Do you feel pressure to always finish what you start? Do you feel guilty when you don’t?

Are you able to be patient with ideas and allow for timing?

Where are the stories you’re telling holding you back? Living in victim consciousness? Not deserving, not lovable?

Do you get caught up in worry and overwhelm? How can you take steps in preparation?

Can you hold your wisdom until it’s time to share what you know with the correct people? 

Have you done the homework? Do you have the foundation in place for when the time comes?

Can you trust that your desires are capable of moving you toward alignment?

Do you feel safe being your true, authentic self?

Do you have a practice to connect to source?

How can you use gratitude to stay present in the now?

Hello, hello and welcome to this week's Cosmic Energy Report. I'm Corinne and today is July 8th it's Monday, and this week we find ourselves with really cool energy. All the energy, all the placements this week are all about trusting and timing, and trusting in different pieces and timing related to divine timing, and trusting that timing will find us. So we start off with the sun in the gate of starting. And this is all about the energy of gradualness. In the ancient teaching they call it gradualness and in the traditional human design they call it starting things. It's all about baby steps. It's all about allowing yourself to not finish things that you start. It's allowing yourself to just take that first step, that next right step, and understand that when the ideas come in, when something is in alignment for us to do, all we have to do is start. And we in modern culture we're told that we have to finish everything that we start and that we feel like a failure when we don't finish the things that we start. And the energy of this week is really just kind of a reminder that you don't have to finish everything that you start. We aren't meant to finish everything that we start and sometimes it's really about trusting in that alignment. So it's trust, trust in the idea, trust in the fact that the idea came and that inspired action, and that's enough. We don't have to actually do more than that. And we're supported in this energy by the earth, which is in gate 54. So the sun is in 53 and the earth is in 54. And the gate 54 is called divine inspiration in quantum human design and it's also called the marrying maiden in the I Ching, and in traditional human design it's called drive. And if we can shed all the patriarchy progress that we've made against the patriarchy, back in the ancient times, for a woman to have success in the world right, her purpose was to be married. And in order for a woman to be marriable, in order for a marrying maiden to be marriable, she had to continue to make all the right steps as she went through her life. And so there's this gradualness in that it's about foundational moves for the purpose of being a standout, being able to set the stage for the time when you need to rise up and serve yourself.

Corinne O'Flynn: 2:47

And so it's kind of a funky way of describing that energy and it's not my favorite, but I just thought it was interesting because it is about using the divine inspiration. It's about using ideas that come to you and then waiting for right timing to initiate, which then, you know, goes back to that starting energy with the sun, which is that it's wind or wood. Actually, wind and wood are kind of interchangeable in the translations it's wood over mountain, which looks like a gentle breeze if it's the wind, but if it's the wood, it's a tree. It's a tree growing on a mountain, and mountain represents that stillness, that slow growing tree on top of that stillness. And so the energy right now is all about baby steps. It's all about taking that first right step. It's about being content with just laying the foundational groundwork without having to finish something.

Corinne O'Flynn: 3:49

And then it's kind of, when we look at Mercury, mercury is sitting in the gate 33, which is the gate of retelling, and that is all about narrative. And it's about sharing stories that raise the vibration. It's about sharing stories with other people, sharing our stories, our stories of triumph over adversity, sharing those from a place of power and empowerment to rise, raise up other people, as opposed to living in victim consciousness and staying in that negative side, that shadow side. So we want to make sure that whenever we're telling stories and wherever we're sharing our narratives, we're doing so from a place of empowered standing. We want to make sure that we are rising the people around us up by our stories. And when you think about starting new projects and taking on new things and using our inspiration to drive us forward, the stories that we tell ourselves about ourselves matter, right, that's our identity. But the stories that we tell the people around us in order to bring them in to this idea, to bring them on to the project, those need to be inspirational, those need to be aspirational, those need to be powerful stories of overcoming and powerful stories of being. That don't let us sit and sink into victim consciousness.

Corinne O'Flynn: 5:14

And we are supported again by Venus and Mars, which, again, it's trust and timing. Venus is all about preparation and it's about trusting that you will know what you need to know when you need to know it and you know when we're talking about starting something and starting something new and taking that first right step, we have to kind of let go right. We have to release our hold on really needing to have concrete you know what's next and instructions. When we're starting something new, like we don't know what the path is, and so we have to kind of lean into that preparation and knowing, trusting that we will know what we need to know when we need to know it, the people that we need will show up when we need them. And then that goes along with the timing of Mars, which is about transmission and it's receiving information right it's that divine transmission and then holding onto it until it's actually time to share it. Like when we know something, if we share it at the wrong time or with the wrong people, it falls on deaf ears, it doesn't have any impact, and so we need to trust in the timing of Mars and Venus and showing us that you know, we are going to know what we need to know when we need to know it. And then, when we take in the information that we know that we're going to have some wisdom about something going on that it's actually going to be ours to hold until the timing appears for us to share it, for us to share it.

Corinne O'Flynn: 6:47

And then we look at Jupiter and Saturn. Right, and Jupiter is the blessings that we get by doing the lesson of Saturn, by taking on the lesson of Saturn, and Saturn is all about surrender and it's trusting that you are supported and holding on to that, knowing that when I need something, it's going to be there because I'm working in my alignment right. And this is all about trusting that the idea that comes is actually meant for you. It's about understanding that when the fire is lit like, that desire is the cause, it's the proof. And so when you do surrender right, surrender your control, which is the lesson that we're being taught we have to be able to release the how of everything and just understand that it is we are meant to be doing the thing because we feel the drive to do the thing. And once we lean into and release into that, saturn, jupiter, is that zest. It's that knowing that you've done your homework, that you have the foundation that supports you in having the enthusiasm to move forward and that is also the shadow of that is jumping in with both feet before having done any of your homework.

Corinne O'Flynn: 7:58

And so when we really lean into all of this preparation, energy that's here, right, this starting, and this preparation and this divine inspiration, we will then find that we are able to move and flow right, and that's moving with timing and understanding the feeling of what that means and not pushing against the force of pressure that we feel Like we, both the sun and the earth shadow, come with this feeling of this pressure, and we have to stop and not allow that pressure to make us override that timing. Like divine timing matters, like the right timing matters. And when we push against timing and we force things, then we risk running into burnout or we risk failure because we're not allowing this thing to unfold in its right timing. And so it's really interesting to look at how all of the energy this week is about trusting and timing, and so trusting that we're supported, trusting that timing will happen, trusting that the people will show up, trusting that the knowledge that we need will show up and then allowing that to unfold. And we have Uranus, which is still in gate eight, which is that relentless authenticity and allowing ourselves to show up truly as our authentic self, which is, you know, it can be really scary. It's something that you know we are not trained in our upbringing, especially in the Western society, to trust that.

Corinne O'Flynn: 9:31

To trust that our authentic self, showing up as our authentic, true self-expression, actually is our purpose. Right, being in alignment is our purpose. Showing up in who we be is why we're here, like. We're here to find out who we are and then actually be who we are. And that is again supported by Neptune, which is in gate 25, which is the gate of spirit, which is trusting that you know there is this greater thing that is driving our awareness and when we allow ourselves to drop into flow and drop into feeling alignment. Alignment is our purpose.

Corinne O'Flynn: 10:16

And how do we do that? How do we stay present? Well, that's in gate 60, which is where Pluto is right now, which is conservation, which is that the shadow is that pulling back to what we want. We're afraid of change. We want to hold on to the things that were really great and not shift out of this. But the way that we combat that is by staying present in gratitude, like being really present and allowing ourselves to just go with the flow. And this like it sounds so simple, but it really is difficult.

Corinne O'Flynn: 10:47

I think that this week is kind of like. All the shadows of this week are the things that we all, as humans, struggle with, and I think that it's interesting when you see it line up like this, how the message is the same. It's like you know, just let go forget about how and trust that you'll know when you need to know it, and that is supported by the nodes. The nodes my mentor talks about the nodes as the plot line. They're the underlining vibe that is happening for all of us right now, and they are in the north node is in gate 21, which is self-regulation, and the south node is in gate 48, the gate of wisdom, and this is all about having a firm footing right, allowing ourselves to have a firm footing with discipline, knowledge, experience and understanding that you did the work, like you've been through the thing, you understand what you're talking about and you know what you need to know when the time comes. So, yeah, there's a lot of really cool energy with this this week and I want you know, I want you to ask yourself some questions that are kind of illuminated by all of these energies, and they are do you feel pressure to always finish what you start, and is there a way for you to release that pressure and allow yourself just to start something and then wait for that next right step to reveal itself in right timing?

Corinne O'Flynn: 12:14

Are you able to be patient with the ideas that come and allow for that divine timing to show you when it's time to make that next step? Where are the stories that you're telling yourself, holding you in a low vibe? Are they holding you back from actually taking action on the things that are in alignment for you? Is there fear there? Is there a lack of personal accountability? Do you not feel lovable? Do you struggle with deserving? Where are you holding yourself back from actually taking that next right step when the alignment is right there for you, from actually taking that next right step when the alignment is right there for you? Do you allow yourself to get caught up in overwhelm and worry?

Corinne O'Flynn: 12:52

And you know, can you hold on to what you know until it is time to actually share it? Do you trust that you have the foundation in place? Have you done the homework? Have you done the knowledge seeking that you need in order to make that next right step? Because you know as much as we talk about, like divine and divine knowing and divine muse and divine timing, like we're still meant to be taking those hints. As you know, where do I need to spend my energy? Where do I need to do my focus? Where should I be doing some reading or learning or, you know, speaking to other people so that I can take on the knowledge that is coming? We're meant to continue to grow and to learn and to teach ourselves how to stay present in knowing. And do you trust that your desires and your passions are the thing? Desire is causative and that is our Saturn. The question that Saturn is asking is do you trust your desires to be the thing that aligns you Right? And if you take that and you say yes, I do trust that, like desire is causative, the fact that this thing is lighting up for me is enough for me to follow it, you know, and then we will get that enthusiasm, then we will get that lit up, jupiter, that zest. And then the other questions are do you feel safe being true to yourself? This is that Uranus gate eight fulfillment.

Corinne O'Flynn: 14:21

Your authenticity is your purpose. You are meant to be truly who you are. Do you have a practice that allows you to connect back into source? Is there a way? If you don't feel really connected to divine inspiration, if you don't feel supported, how can you get back into that? Can you journal? Can you meditate? Can you really just sit with quietly, just sit and listen to the ideas that you have, to the things that you're yearning to chase? How can you bolster and support your connection to the divine? Because we all have it, but we do, we shut it down. And is it narrative? Is it our personal narrative that's turning us away from that? There's all those things that we struggle with, and I'm going to put all these questions down below for contemplation or for journaling or for just meditating on, because we really are meant to hold the frequency of this, allowing this openness, this pursuit of our authenticity and pursuit of the desires that come and you know, just to see, like, where these things lead. You know, and once we have access to that, how can we hold on to it with gratitude? How can we use gratitude to stay in the now, because you know we should and should not, and we are told that we have to and that we, you know it is we are meant to do these things for other people, but you know, we are actually here to step into our fulfillment and we are here. Our purpose is who we'd be right, and I think I talk about this.

Corinne O'Flynn: 16:21

This is, you know, one of those things that, like, I will never stop talking about, but we lose touch with what that means, and I think that you know we get caught up in them every day, like, yeah, there's bills to pay. Yeah, there's work to do. Yeah, I have deadlines. Yeah, my kid is sick. Yeah, you know I have a day job. All these different things that get in our way feel like it's I have to do this or that, and we forget that it can be yes, and we can do both, and I think that we need to be doing both.

Corinne O'Flynn: 16:52

And it's really important to separate what you do like your job, like what you do in the day to day is not your purpose, like your purpose is separate from those things. You can show up working at the grocery store and be your fullest expression of yourself, and so the idea that the two things are mutually exclusive is incorrect. I think that we have to find a way to fully embrace and embody and empower ourselves and also show up and do the things that we're doing every day. You know you can fulfill your purpose and be a stay-at-home mom. You can fulfill your purpose and be a trash collector. You can fulfill your purpose and be a professional golfer. You know you don't have to. It doesn't make a difference what you do. It makes a difference who you be, and so, in our quest to find who we are here to be, how we could show up truly and authentically.

Corinne O'Flynn: 17:55

Those are the questions that we're asking this week, and so, right now, the sun and the earth are asking us to listen to divine inspiration, to listen to the ideas that come and use those things as a muse, as a drive, as a thing to push us forward and allow ourselves to align with just the next right step. We don't have to take completion, we don't have to do anything more. This is a baby step energy and all of the rest of the energy that is happening with all the placements this week is all about trusting and timing, and trusting and timing, and I think that if we do really surrender, it feels. I think it feels like a really juicy energy. It makes me smile, it makes me feel like woo, expansive and full of possibility. But the only way to do it is to really just release that fear of getting it wrong, or the fear of making the wrong step because, or the fear of being late and not finishing in time. That doesn't exist, no-transcript, and so I encourage you to really experiment with that, especially this week, but all the time, because this is wisdom. I think that when we're able to really lean into that, it really shows up in very powerful ways, and so that's what I have for you this week.

Corinne O'Flynn: 19:42

It's a baby step week. It's bringing in the ideas and taking that next right step. It's that gradual movement. It's the tree growing on the mountain, and the tree has to grow really, really small. If it grows too quickly, it's going to be weak and it's going to get knocked over by the wind. So, you know, try to really lean into the baby steps and doing just the next right thing and allowing yourself that ease and that timing to fall into flow, to allow flow to carry you along with right action and right timing and right people and right information when you need it, without pushing yourself through and burning out. So that's what it's all about this week and I hope that this uh is supportive and, uh, I look forward to hearing from you. See ya.
