As an Empath, I allow myself to relax or recharge by setting aside alone time. It helps me shed others energy. I go on daily walks. It helps me balance my energy and clear my mind. I love to eat fresh fruit and vegetables and drink teas like chamomile and turmeric. Here are more self care tips I’ve done or tried over the years.
It’s so hard to manage your self-care as an Empath because you are so busy taking care of others. As an Empath we desperately need time to relax and recharge. At times we can feel guilty about taking time to do this. If we don’t take time to unwind it can cause us to burnout. To keep you feeling balanced here are some self care tips.
Health is wealth and should always be a priority. Try working out a few times a week. Drink plenty of water and eat fresh fruit and vegetables regularly. These little investments in your health can make a big difference in your energy. Don’t allow yourself to get overwhelmed, take an honest inventory. Ask yourself often if you’re taking on too much or if you’re over stimulated. If the answer is yes, prioritize from most to least information. Make a weekly schedule to ensure you won’t overload yourself for the week, pencil in rest breaks. Saying no isn’t selfish. Knowing when to say no is important. We all have a limited amount of time and resources to give; you can’t help everyone at all times. Setting boundaries is important and can help prevent burnout.
Empaths often need time to be alone and center themselves. Be honest with yourself when you have met your max capacity with interactions or socializing. Allow yourself blocks of alone time. Seek out hobbies or activities that allow you to express yourself. Writing and poetry are amazing outlets for an overflow of emotions. Other activities like photography, hiking, and biking can provide an opportunity to get out into nature and slow down. Nurturing our hobbies allow us to nurture our hearts and create outlet or release that allow us to grow and process in our own way.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help, sometimes we need tools to help us process our emotions or a trusted friend or counselor to listen. It takes strength to let someone in and evaluate when you may need additional support. Just as you have a heart for helping others, there are people ready to help you, too. Please, if you are struggling, do not hesitate to ask for help. Your ability to connect with the emotions of others is a blessing. It’s not a weakness to feel as much as you do, but it will require awareness so you don’t become overly immersed in the emotional highs and lows of others. Be gentle with yourself as you navigate tough emotions and situations.







Times are looking a bit shaky for Donald Trump. Based on several progressions and transits, his legal woes could potentially result in a guilty verdict. Conflict and notoriety certainly lie ahead. Some of his Saturn progressions indicate a serious and somber period, emphasizing the need for learning lessons and addressing karmic debt. With Saturn, you reap what you sow; actions have consequences. Trump was born with Uranus on the Midheaven (MC), conjunct the Sun and opposite the Moon. This placement suggests a great deal of originality, unconventional approaches, revolutionary goals, independence, constant spotlight, and innovation in his career path. The Midheaven in astrology represents career and public life, goals, reputation, authority, parental influence, and social contribution. Uranus is about breaking free and often involves divorce and separations. Combining these meanings, it seems Trump may face an enforced type of surrender. His Uranus-Midheaven conjunction in Gemini signifies a predisposition toward change and innovation. However, the current transit of Uranus through Taurus is resistant to change, and such stubbornness can lead to trouble. As Uranus continues moving through Taurus in June, it will square Trump’s Mars. This aspect can lead to aggression, violence, anger, disagreements, accidents, sudden shocks, restlessness, nervousness, and disruptions. Additionally, I’ve noted that Trump has some health concerns that need attention. Neptune and Pluto have been in a sextile aspect for over 50 years. I recall a client in 1995 who had an exact Yod from these two planets to her Ascendant and was diagnosed with cancer. While I am not suggesting that Trump will be diagnosed with cancer, Pluto in the 6th house (health and daily routines) is a significant placement. This Yod in his chart is active this summer. Since Leo, which rules the heart, is the sign receiving the Yod, cardiovascular issues could be a prime concern.
