Chances are the current state of your life was not on your vision board, in your 2020 goals, or anywhere in your new moon intentions, unless it included spending more time at home. With little, if anything, under your control right now, you may be wondering whether you have any control over your destiny? 

In January 2016, my mom suddenly passed. Everything I’d planned that year suddenly vanished. Life doesn’t always go the way you think, or at least on the time schedule you think it will. Fast forward to 2020, I think we all feel like the rug has been pulled out from underneath us.

And yet, I’m here to tell you that what you want does matter. But, also, what the collective consciousness wants matters too.

There are the collective desires and there are the personal desires, not to mention the contradicting personal desires among us. Right now, the collective is manifesting sweeping changes.

Although the world is in flux and attempting to find a new normal, your dreams and desires can be fulfilled. They perhaps will be on a slightly different timeline or come about in different ways. During the time of quarantine, I’ve heard of people proposing, starting new businesses, and learning new skills. And I’m sure there are plenty of future quaranteenies being conceived.

Instead of giving up on your dreams and desires, use this time to get clear on them, build foundations, and focus.

Do you need to take classes, hone your vision, or add an online component to your original idea? Perhaps the new state of the world makes your dream or idea make more sense than it did a few months ago.

It turns out that in 2016, the year that I thought would be a complete wash, I fell in love with my wife, wrote a book that was later published, and had a successful year with my business.

The key to manifesting in the post-COVID-19 era is to merge your desires with the collective desires for the highest outcome for everyone involved.

Manifesting from pure ego will not be as easy as it has been. The energy will show you quickly what desires are in and out of alignment with the collective.

As we move into more Aquarian influences this year (Saturn) into 2021 (Jupiter) and beyond (Pluto), humanitarianism and cooperation will become the new normal.

You can already see corporations lending their resources in response to the pandemic. Although profit will continue to be the driving force, a humanitarian component will play a bigger role. The same is true for small businesses and individuals pitching in where they can help out.

As tempting as it is to give up and binge the Tiger King in your sweats all day, don’t give up. Rest, but don’t give up. You are a creative being and we have a new world to create.
