Channeled Message: Isn’t It Strange? The Opportunity, The Prize... Was You All Along
A late night transmission on detaching from distractions, reclaiming your energy, and choosing yourself even before the world reflects it back
So this wasn’t planned lol
I was lying in the dark last night like I usually do, letting my body settle, and my mind quiet down just enough for Spirit to speak in their own way to me, inviting in whatever aligned message or insight that wanted to come through.
I don’t generally record collective messages outside of TikTok and Instagram; only the ones I gave for my clients, pre-shifting into written messages to allow my 12th house Mercury to breathe lol. I thought this would just be another one of those private moments between Source and I… but the message kept nudging to be expressed, not just understood.
The signs kept stacking, and at some point I felt guided to hit record and speak the message out loud as I pulled the cards, with the intention of strengthening and clearing my own channel without checking in externally.
But when I listened back, it felt like a complete transmission that wasn’t meant to be left there. It wasn’t polished or curated, but it’s enough to share. So here we are! I’m trying something new; posting a channeled collective message in a different format. The recorded audio is posted first, and the written message follows.
Let’s just see how this lands. Go easy on me, there is literally a sneeze in the recording somewhere (a form of energetic release and spiritual cleansing, which will make sense in that moment)… but that feels on brand for this transmission anyway : )
If this message found you, take only what resonates for you and leave what doesn’t. Please permit yourself to be in process.

An airplane passing overhead during the message
The overall energetic theme… something or someone the collective has been overly investing in, or attached to, has been quietly blocking or delaying, behind the scenes, their abundance, legacy, and opportunities. Not because it was evil or intentional, but because of dependency, comfort, familiarity, and unconscious attachment.
And the wild part is… the delay wasn’t even truly real in the way it felt. It was perception influencing action, which then influenced timing. In a way, it was always a destined season meant to be experienced as a personal reflection, not as a personal failure.
The Message Itself
The energy opened with the Nine of Pentacles, immediately clarified by the King of Pentacles and an Ace of Cups that was sideways, leaning to the right.
So right away… this is about abundance, independence, self-worth, emotional fulfillment, and something new trying to come in, but slightly blocked or slowed because of where your energy is still being poured.
When I clarified deeper, we moved into the Page of Swords, Queen of Pentacles reversed, Two of Swords, Nine of Cups reversed… which started to show me that the collective is either already realizing or is just now coming into the realization that certain choices they’ve made, or are needing to make, might feel uncomfortable at first, painful or scary even…but are ultimately correct and necessary for their long-term fulfillment.
There is a sense of potentially having to cut something off, to disconnect, or step back from something that once felt nurturing, safe, or familiar, but is no longer aligned with the version of you stepping into your desired future.
From the bottom of the deck came the Five of Wands, Six of Wands, Wheel of Fortune reversed… and then the Three of Cups clarified by the Eight of Cups, Seven of Pentacles reversed, Temperance reversed.
This is where it became very clear that for many, this “third-party” energy is not always a literal person. It can be a habit, a mindset, a hobby, a social environment, or even a pattern of escapism or comfort-seeking that feels good in the moment but is actually pulling energy away from your long-term vision.
No shame in the game… we’ve all got our vices, but at some point, we must be stronger than those urges and choose discipline over victim mentality.
Rev. Dr. Cecelia Williams Bryant once looked into my eyes and told me that I have a destiny to fulfill, and I don’t care how long it takes me to align with it, I don’t care how delusional I sound to friends, family, and strangers, but I heard her when she told me not to get distracted. The message was deeply received, and I repeat it to myself every day.
And as someone who struggles with transitions and change, I promise you, if you’re struggling to release or detach from something, this is not the time to be harsher on yourself. It’s energetically a part of the process, so that when you are ready… ready to choose more and better for yourself, you will, out of desire.
But you do have to remind yourself of the same motto when you find yourself forgetting, no distractions. Because momentary pleasure, distraction, fun, or familiarity… is creating an imbalance in where you should be investing your time, energy, and focus. And maybe more specifically, messing up the how.
Spirit was very loud here… you are the next opportunity coming in!! You are the abundance. The lion that realized it was never meant to be confined by a man-made cage. Your spirit was always bigger than that.
The Six of Wands clarified by the Six of Cups showed that the comforts and familiarities of the past have been a part of the blockage, not because they’re inherently bad, but because you have outgrown them. Maybe they were cages once set up for your protection, but you can trust yourself to show up and protect yourself and your future now, without them.
The Five of Wands clarified by the Nine of Swords and the Ace of Swords showed mental stress, comparison, scattered energy, and subtle competition, sometimes even with yourself… which is where the energy is being divided between what you say you want and what you’re doing to align with it.
And when I asked what’s actually shifting now, we moved into the Six of Swords, the Sun, and the Three of Wands reversed. This is not about waiting for something external to arrive before you take your next steps forward. This is about an internal transition into Sun energy… into optimism, joy, play, self-trust, creativity, and showing up for (and celebrating) yourself and life anyway!
Because once that internal shift happens… your energy changes, then your actions change, then your magnetism expands and strengthens, and then the external blessings and opportunities begin to follow suit. Because opportunities for growth and expansion are always around us, but it wants to be actively engaged with, not waited for.
It doesn't require perfection, just you stepping forward in the ways you best can and know how.
My Personal Reflection + Context
After I finished recording, I randomly thought to share the message on Substack instead of just pulling and filming a separate reading for TikTok later, and asked if it was aligned… honestly, that was a lesson in itself of just trusting where I felt called to go. But, I did pull the Devil reversed with Strength reversed.
The cards gently prompted me: release the pressure, release the expectation, release the fear around how this needs to look, and trust your voice as it is.
What’s ironic about this whole thing is that this same message came up earlier in the day during a reading I provided for my friend for her birthday.
Her message was centered around her career, and she wanted to confirm if there was a shift coming for her with her creative business. Two other readers picked up on an opportunity coming in that would allow her to leave her current job, but the timeline wasn’t moving fast enough for my girl, so I looked into what might be going on behind the scenes.
The funny thing is… it also highlighted the opportunity was her, moving out of purely passive feminine energy and into a more balanced expression that also includes aligned action, visibility, networking, and allowing herself to be seen and supported by her community.
Practicing her art consistently and sharing it consistently.
Connecting with people who pour back into her
And then those people go and mention her name in rooms she isn’t even in because of her consistency, drive, and authentic style and taste.
Networking was MAJOR for her. And I said something in her reading that I want to say again here because it feels like it belongs to all of us right now:
This is a time for action, even when it seems like the world hasn’t shown up for you, yet.
That line stayed with me all day.
Because even in my own life, over the last few days, I’ve been realizing where courage and initiative are replacing doubt, caution, and even imposter syndrome. For both my friend and me, we realized that our history and experience in our respective industries felt like reasons not to charge forward, when the feedback we’ve received since chasing after true fulfillment in our careers has been nothing but:
Charge more! Apply for that opportunity! You deserve it! You’re worthy! You’re already enough!
So for this reason, Spirit hasn’t let me feel consistent peace or ease until I align my daily rhythm, my schedule, and the way I charge for my time, energy, and services.
Not to copy what works for others, but to actually honor how I naturally function… like don’t get me wrong, I’m not a professional astrologer yet (so correct me if you are), but I know enough to read my own chart well.
What I recently noticed is that not only does my 12th house Mercury explain my preference for written communication over verbal, but I think it also explains why I channel the most late at night. That insight has been dangling in front of my face for months, if not years, but certain habits and routines of mine have kept me from clearly seeing it.
I’ve always been a sleepy girl, so I usually try to be in bed by ten, if not earlier, but my mind tends to come alive at night. I also just connected with another content creator with ADHD, who confirmed that it could play a part. We connected over having a “natural high” as kids right before we’d pass out—that’s how my parents knew I was tired lol.
But what if it was always more than that?”
It’s like everything I didn’t have the space to process during the day suddenly wants to be heard, and I don’t always know how to quiet it unless I write it out and move it through my body. My dreams can be vivid and full of messages, but they’re inconsistent and harder to remember when I’m trying to self-soothe myself in other ways into sleep.
And I’ve noticed that I often wake up with certain words, numbers, or songs looping in my mind, but if my energy is too low, those messages don’t come through clearly, and then I don’t have anything to create from, which ends up stalling my ability to attract clientele… You see what I mean?
So part of my own detachment process right now is letting go of that habit, but also the idea that my structure or routine has to look like anyone else’s. Even if that means sleeping in more (which I used to feel super guilty about) and staying up a bit later, just to meditate and receive what needs to be shared. Every day doesn’t have to be the same, but for me, this is definitely where I’ve been asked to restructure and step up a bit more.
Which is very much in alignment with the energy we’ve been moving through astrologically as well. The recent Solar Eclipse in Aquarius brought forward innovative energy. With the shift into the Year of the Fire Horse amplifying movement, courage, independence, and forward momentum, you might be noticing new ideas, new ways of thinking, communicating, and existing trying to emerge. Pay attention and listen.
This message feels like another version of “closed mouths don’t get fed,” confirmation that part of this transition requires you to be honest about where your energy has been invested, and whether it actually supports the life you say you want.
You don’t have to abandon everything overnight. You also don’t want to over-passion yourself into burnout, which will be easy to do this year, so please, for the love of yourself and your future, REST and pace yourself.
You might need that pause to do the actual reflecting and restructuring, including how you can start choosing yourself in ways you haven’t felt ready to do before.
