Love, Lips — Oracle #2: Let the Sediment Settle
A slow settling, a rebalancing of inner waters, and trust that clarity arrives when you allow things to move at their natural pace.
Before anything else, take a breath.
Whether you’re reading this at the start of a year or stumbling across it later, this message meets you in a moment of transition. We’ve crossed into a new cycle after a long period of shedding, and many are feeling the aftershock of that release.
You may have expected this moment to feel lighter. Fresher. More exciting.
Instead, it might feel chaotic, murky, or strangely anticlimactic.
That doesn’t mean something’s wrong. It means the sediment has been stirred.
When energy shifts, what’s been resting at the bottom rises to the surface. Old doubts. Old attachments. Old discomforts. This phase can feel unsettling - like losing momentum, losing clarity, or losing your sense of flow. But it’s part of the clearing.
Right now, many are being asked to stop pretending. To stop forcing optimism. To stop trying to make things look better than they feel.
Surrender becomes easier when we reach the edge - when holding everything together simply costs too much. There is wisdom in that letting go.
This cycle has been about discernment. About seeing where you’ve been spending energy on pathways, relationships, roles, or identities that no longer belong to you. It can be tempting to stay in what’s familiar, even when it’s no longer aligned. But comfort in the short term often delays clarity in the long term. Truth, while uncomfortable, saves time.
Think of sea water in a jar that’s been shaken. The sand in the jar clouds everything for a moment. But if you allow it to settle, the clarity returns on its own. You don’t need to force it. You just need to wait.
If you’ve felt blocked, stagnant, or as though effort isn’t producing results the way it once did, trust that this is a timing issue - not a failure. Movement will come when the internal reorganisation is complete. This is a slow burn phase. And slow burns build strong foundations.
Many reading this have been working quietly for a long time without recognition or visible reward. That doesn’t mean nothing is happening. It means the work has been underground. Like the phoenix, like the seed, like the cicada - transformation happens out of sight before it becomes undeniable.
You are not meant to rush your emergence.
Leadership energy is present here - not the loud, performative kind, but the grounded kind. Power that comes from integrity rather than approval. True authority doesn’t seek admiration; it earns trust by example.
You don’t need to convince anyone.
You don’t need permission.
You don’t need to be perfect.
There is a strong invitation now to rebalance structure and play.
Yes - there will be a time for methodical steps, routines, and long-term plans. But there must also be space for spontaneity, curiosity, and small acts of courage in the moment. Inspiration doesn’t arrive on schedule. It arrives when you’re receptive.
Pay attention over the coming days to the random thoughts. The ideas that seem to come from nowhere. The quiet nudges to try something differently - a new route, a new place, a new rhythm. These are not distractions. They are openings.
You don’t have to change your whole life today.
You only need to change one small thing.
Existence itself is sacred.
You don’t need to justify your pace.
You don’t need to earn rest by striving harder.
What’s in your life right now is not an accident. No one else has your exact set of moments, resources, limits, and invitations. Trust that they are leading you somewhere - even if it’s not where you expected.
If motivation fades, don’t panic.
When the sediment settles, inspiration always follows.
Integration (how to use this energy):
For now, choose flexibility over pressure.
- Let one uncomfortable feeling exist without fixing it
- Do something slightly differently today - no big plan required
- Follow curiosity instead of obligation
- Allow rest without explaining it
Affirmation:
I trust the timing of my life and allow clarity to return naturally.
Love,
Lips x

2 carries the energy of balance, patience, and sensitivity - a reminder that growth doesn’t always come through action, but through attunement. It asks you to listen, observe, and respond rather than force movement.
28 speaks to long-term effort and delayed reward. It’s the number of work done quietly, without immediate recognition, that eventually pays off through stability and inner confidence.
13 appears again here as a thread of transformation - not sudden or dramatic, but earned through persistence, shedding, and the willingness to sit with discomfort until clarity emerges.
Together, this timing reinforces the message of the reading:
A slow settling, a rebalancing of inner waters, and trust that clarity arrives when you allow things to move at their natural pace.
