Love, Lips — Oracle #3: You Have a Say in the Patterns at Play

You are standing at a choice point. Awareness gives you agency. Cycles do not repeat unless you agree to carry them forward.

Before anything else, take a breath.

This message carries a strong, steady energy. One that doesn’t rush, but doesn’t let you sleepwalk either. If it’s found you, it’s not by accident. You’re at a point where cycles are asking to be completed, not avoided.

There is a sense here of power that may surprise you. Not loud power. Not force. But the kind that comes from awareness. From seeing the pattern clearly enough to choose differently.

You may have been feeling slowed down lately. Finding it harder to begin. Harder to organise your thoughts. Harder to make things look or feel “right.” If perfectionism has crept in, or if things are simply taking longer than usual, there’s meaning in that pause. This is not stagnation. It’s integration.

Some of what’s surfacing now can feel heavy. Old sadness. A low-grade fog. A sense of depression that feels unfamiliar, not overwhelming, but persistent. The message here is not to fear it. You already carry the answers. This feeling is visiting for a reason, asking to be acknowledged rather than fixed.

A strong theme in this reading is polarity. Learning to hold both sides at once. Light and shadow. Grief and growth. Doing and resting. This appears to be part of your current soul lesson. Not choosing one side, but learning to stand in the middle without collapsing.

There is ancestral energy present here. Cycles that did not begin with you, but that you are now conscious enough to interrupt. Many reading this may come from families shaped by survival, migration, or long periods of instability. Hustling. Pushing. Enduring without being witnessed.

The work now is different.

You are being asked to recognise that you have a say in which patterns continue, and which ones end with you. Awareness gives you leverage. Discernment is not passive. It's active participation.

This next phase brings real, tangible progress. Material stability. A sense of safety. Better flow with money, home, and belonging. For some, this may look like settling. For others, it may feel like finally exhaling after years of holding your breath.

What has been slow is not stalled. It has been building strength.

Recognition is part of this cycle, but only once attachment to approval loosens. True authority comes from integrity, not admiration. You do not need to convince anyone of who you are. Living it is enough.

There is a reminder here that repetition does not mean failure. Patterns loop until they are understood. Not to punish you, but to refine you. Each return brings new information. Each cycle gives you another chance to respond with greater clarity.

The moment the question shifts from “Why is this happening to me?” to “What am I ready to complete?” the loop begins to loosen.

Play is medicine right now. Not as an escape, but as a recalibration. Creativity without outcome. Curiosity without pressure. Doing something simply because it brings you back to yourself. That is where inspiration slips in quietly and rearranges everything.

You do not need to overhaul your life. You need to listen. Pay attention to what keeps resurfacing. Old interests. Old dreams. Old ideas that suddenly feel alive again. These are not random. They are threads reconnecting.

Treat each day as sacred. Not because it’s productive, but because it’s yours.

You are closer than you think.

Congratulations for the work you’ve already done, even if no one has clapped for you yet.

So much love.

Affirmation

I recognise the patterns shaping my life, and I choose which ones continue.

Love,

2026 carries ten-year energy, marking the start of a new cycle built from accumulated wisdom rather than urgency. It speaks to grounded beginnings that honour what has already been learned.

2 reflects balance, attunement, and relational awareness. It asks for patience, sensitivity, and trust in subtle timing rather than force.

13 appears again as a number of transformation through lived experience. It reminds us that growth is earned through repetition, reflection, and the willingness to sit with discomfort until clarity emerges.

5 speaks to change through conscious choice. It brings movement, flexibility, and the reminder that freedom comes when we respond differently to familiar patterns.

1 anchors the moment in authorship. A return to self-leadership, where decisions are made from inner knowing rather than external pressure.

Together, this timing reinforces the core message of the reading:

You are standing at a choice point. Awareness gives you agency. Cycles do not repeat unless you agree to carry them forward.
