Stop People Pleasing

Weekly collective reading, October 21-27, 2024

Thanks for tuning in to this week’s short and sweet weekly collective reading. These readings are now free but please keep in mind that doing readings takes energy so if you can pay for a subscription, buy me a coffee, or just make a love donation, it would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and have you checked out my daily oracle pulls (Monday-Friday, except major holidays)?

Now on to the weekly collective reading. As always, if it don’t apply, then let it fly.

Osho Zen Tarot

Today must be a day for heavy energy because today’s daily oracle message was heavy, too.

Anywho, I’m getting that there is a lot of people-pleasing going on, and it needs to stop.

You may be doing things, or participating in activities—especially group activities—because that is what’s expected of you and you don’t want people to think negatively of you if you choose not to participate. All of this is coming at the expense of your peace of mind, which can also manifest as physical exhaustion and other illnesses.

I’m getting both personal/extracurricular vibes, as well as workplace ones. If you are always the one volunteering to do stuff on weekends and after work for your church, your sorority/fraternity/community organization, your children’s school, Little League/Pop Warner/kid’s sports, or whatever, tap out for a minute and let someone else take the load.

If you are always the one at work organizing birthday parties or blood drives, or volunteering to take notes in meetings, or volunteering to work late, or volunteering to train new employees when that’s not your job—STOP IT. Stop it right now.

The Ace of Fire (The Source) is the number one in tarot, which tells me that you need to look out for yourself first (look out for “number one”) instead of trying to please others by doing what they think you need to be doing. As the late author Erma Bombeck once said, the world will not go into a holding pattern if you decide not to do something.

Take some “you” time.

Thanks for stopping by.
