We’re Being Squeezed – How to Stay Grounded in Intense Energies
How to stay grounded in intense energies, because let’s be real, right now? The energy is intense. Like, cosmic squeeze-you-until-you-crack-then-glow intense. If you’ve been feeling heavy, anxious, or like the wheels are falling off your life bus, you are so not alone. This week on Own Your Peace, I felt called to unpack what’s going on and how we can ground into peace, even when everything feels like chaos.
We’re Not Imagining It—It Is a Lot
We’ve just emerged from a wild eclipse season and a lineup of retrogrades that had many of us questioning everything. And now, with all planets direct, the Universe is asking: Did you learn the lessons? Are you ready to level up?
Spoiler alert: this isn’t a soft launch into the new. It’s a 2,500-year-level energy shift. That’s how long it’s been since we’ve had this many planetary movements in a single year. We’re rewriting timelines—and that can feel messy, hard, and oh-so-confusing.
From Water Resistance to Fire Activation: How to Stay Grounded in Intense Energies Using The Elements
Mars spent forever in Cancer, 7 months to be exact (hi, fellow Cancers 👋), dragging us through emotional sludge. Cancer energy is nurturing but hesitant. It’s great at protecting others but struggles to advocate for itself. It’s like trying to sprint through a pool—effortful and slow.
Now Mars has moved into fiery Leo. Cue the “I’ve got this” energy. 🔥 Suddenly, we’re reclaiming our power, our voice, and our momentum.
Cardinal signs—Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn—felt this shift the most. If you’ve been feeling like you were swimming in mud, you’re finally coming up for air.
Venus, Taurus, and Getting Real About What You Value
Venus retrograde has been whispering to us about our self-worth, relationships, and what we really value. Now that she’s direct and we’re moving into Taurus season, the vibe is: slow down, root in, and build something meaningful.
Aries lit the spark. Taurus is saying, “Cool, now let’s plant that fire into something real.” We’re being asked to move from inspiration to embodiment.
If It Feels Like a Breakdown, It Might Be a Breakthrough
If your life feels like it’s imploding—relationships, habits, jobs, beliefs—you’re probably on the cusp of a breakthrough. These moments of chaos? They’re initiations. You’re not being punished; you’re being invited to rise.
We can’t evolve while clinging to old identities and outdated patterns. Let them fall. The Universe is rewilding you. 🌱

Nervous System Regulation = Your Superpower Right Now
Amidst the chaos, your nervous system is your anchor. We’re all so interconnected, and energy is flying everywhere—global unrest, shifting systems, solar flares, collective fear… It’s a lot.
Let’s talk about how to stay grounded in intense energies ourselves by working with the elements.
🌊 Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
You thrive in flow. Water is your medicine—baths, showers, oceans, lakes. Can’t get to water? Visualize a cosmic waterfall clearing your aura. Breathe. Let your emotions move like waves.
🌬 Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
You clear through communication and movement. Burn some sage or palo santo. Let the smoke carry away stagnant energy. Envision wind sweeping through and clearing your space.
🔥 Fire Signs (Leo, Aries, Sagittarius)
You thrive in passion and motion. Sit by a flame, candle, or campfire. Fire-gaze to activate subconscious clarity. Envision flames burning off what’s no longer serving you.
🌍 Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
You ground through nature. Bare feet on grass. Hiking. Forest bathing. Mama Gaia wants your energy—and she knows how to transmute it. You’re the compost queens and kings. Let the Earth recycle your emotional weight.
Sensitive Souls & Open Centers – A Human Design PSA
If you’ve got an open spleen or emotional center (hello fellow empath), you might be absorbing anxiety and emotions that aren’t even yours. Learn to recognize that. Ask: Is this mine?
If not? Clear it. Use your element, regulate your nervous system, and return to center.
Final Thoughts
You’re not broken. You’re not behind. You’re not alone. You’re evolving. I hope these tips for how to stay grounded in intense energies helped you feel more able to handle these crazy energies we’re working with right now.
This time is sacred—chaotic, yes, but sacred. The systems are crumbling, and the new is being born through us. So breathe. Regulate. Ground. And keep going.
You’ve got this—and I’ve got you.
Much Love,
