I\u2019ll never forget my reading with Phillip ext. 9485<\/a><\/strong>. I expected a run-of-the-mill ordinary astrology reading. I thought he\u2019d elaborate on some simple insights from my birth chart or direction about where my career is headed. But no.<\/p>\n

“The universe wants you to “become a selfish b*tch,” he said. “You’re too accommodating and an old soul<\/a><\/strong>. You don’t recognize how powerful you are. You have several gifts. Do you experience d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu a lot?” He said \u2013 and I\u2019ve always felt this \u2013 \u201cyou see the future or flashes of it before it happens \u2013 especially in dreams at night.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis lifetime is about you taking your power back. You came in as a people pleaser but are old enough to recognize that you are an easy target for people. People take until you have nothing left to give. They bleed you dry. You\u2019re targeted. The pattern is you need to confront it at all costs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cManifest the power to train yourself to put you first. Users and abusers will have the choice to either disappear or play my game.\u201d Apparently, these people will fall away because they\u2019ll be replaced by those who respect me since I\u2019m coming from a positive place by demanding I live my life in peace.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can expect perks if you make this shift and do it consistently. It’s where your romance, happiness, creative life and experiences lie as long as you do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phillip suggested if this isn\u2019t followed, the universe will ante up. \u201cThings will get worse instead of better.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople need to hear what’s important to you,” he said. “Then your stress and emotional grief will fade. This pattern stretches in your life over the course of more than one lifetime. Your Scorpio ascendant is saying you didn’t come into this world to be reasonable. You came to let the emotional sh*t fly.”<\/p>\n

\u201cHonor yourself,\u201d he said. \u201cYou played the martyr and the victim in your life, but now it’s time to play the villain. Shake things up by going to the other extreme. It becomes your choice, not others. Stay awake to the perks which will follow, the universe is asking you to stick with this path. Take risks.\u201d I\u2019ll never forget this reading. I keep a copy of my notes with me at all times.<\/p>\n

So far his advice has worked in subtle and not-so-subtle ways. I\u2019m becoming more aggressive about my needs but increasingly more gentle with people around me. Some of the users have already fallen out of my immediate environment, and it\u2019s become easier to state my needs and set clear boundaries. This advice remains my constant companion. Thank you, Phillip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
