“We’re preparing your nervous system to handle more weight in the future…”
That’s what my Capricorn trainer told me at the gym the other day.
“Tighten your core. Focus on your breath. Listen to your body. Say ‘yes’ to yourself.”
He had stacked more plates on the leg press than I’d ever lifted, and my only task was to push 3–4 times. Not to prove strength, but to prepare my system for heavier lifting ahead.
Oddly, this echoed something Astrologer Natasha Alter shared in her latest Inner Circle forecast.
She said NOW is the time to prepare our nervous systems for the faster timelines ahead, when the heavyweight planets move into air and fire signs, and our perception of time accelerates even more than it already has.
So how do we prepare? The same way my trainer coached me:
- Tighten your core. What are your values? What pulls you off center? How can you return to what really matters … the things you actually have control over?
- Focus on your breath. Pause throughout the day. Bring awareness to your breathing. Explore breathwork practices that regulate your system.
- Listen to your body. Notice what you feel inside, not just what you think. Triggered? Where is it in your body? Tired? How can you honor that?
- Say “yes” to yourself. What wants to come through you now? Where’s your joy and enthusiasm? Follow it.
Many astrologers have said we’re “rounding the bend” toward what’s next. Yet, as Rick Levine reminds us, none of us can actually see what’s beyond that bend!
Which makes nervous system regulation even more essential. Bringing awareness inward. Focusing on what we can influence.
Because right now, we’re in a twilight zone between worlds…
This ties beautifully to what Andrea Michelle shared in our recent podcast episode about working with our instinctual nature.
Like the horses she partners with, who naturally carry the earth’s resonance, we too have an innate intelligence that knows how to navigate in unknown territory.
Often the most profound transformation doesn’t come from mental understanding, but from simply being present in our bodies and trusting our deeper knowing.
The sensations. The feelings. The subtle nudges.
They’re all part of your inner guidance system, helping you navigate this in-between space. Closing one door and opening another…
Every time you choose wholeness over fragmentation, unity over division, trust over fear, embodied presence over mental spinning …
You’re doing the sacred work of bringing the new paradigm forward.
Trust the process.
Trust your instincts.
Trust the spiral dance we’re in together 🌀
And remember, you’re here for a reason, and you already carry the resources you need to navigate these times.
You’re stronger and more capable than you know… and you’re never alone.
With love and gratitude for your presence on this journey,
Amanda 💫
