Happy Pisces season, everyone! We’re now I the final stretch of the astrological year, a time when our intuition deepens, and our emotional and spiritual connections become more profound. Pisces energy invites us to look beyond the mundane and glimpse a reality that is richer, fuller, and more abundant than we can comprehend.
One of the most valuable lessons of Pisces season is understanding the final – and often most misunderstood – step in the manifestation journey: letting go. Over the past year, we’ve gained clarity, set our intentions, created vision boards, taken action, and shown up consistently. Yet, if our goals still feel just out of reach, it may be because we’re missing this crucial last step: surrender.
The Power of Surrender
Surrender doesn’t mean giving up on your dreams or ceasing to care. It means reaching a place where you’re content and at peace, whether or not you achieve them. This shift creates a softer yet more empowered mindset – one that allows for flow rather than resistance.
When it comes to manifestation, two common stumbling blocks arise:
- Skipping Straight to Surrender – Some people believe they can sit back and visualise their dream life into existence without taking any aligned action. But manifestation isn’t about passively waiting for miracles; it requires participation. You can’t expect a soulmate to ring your doorbell or millions to magically appear in your bank account without effort. Think how boring life would be if that were the case!
- Trying Too Hard – On the flip side, many people push too much, obsessing over their desires with an energy of desperation. Manifestation isn’t just about what you want – it’s about what you believe and the energy you emit. If you’re constantly thinking, I need this to happen, you’re reinforcing the feeling of lack, attracting more situations that make you feel unfulfilled.
The Pisces Approach: Enjoying the Journey & Releasing the Outcome
So, how do we balance action with surrender? By embracing Pisces energy and incorporating two key ingredients: enjoying the journey and letting go of the outcome.
Let’s say you’ve always loved a certain pair of jeans, but they’re a little snug now, and your goal is to fit comfortably into them again. You start taking action – exercising more, adjusting your diet. Yet, despite your efforts, the scale doesn’t budge and the jeans remain tight. Frustration sets in, and stress creeps up, sabotaging your progress. Science shows that stress triggers fat storage as a survival response, making your goal even harder to achieve. Sound familiar?
Now, imagine shifting your focus. What if you started enjoying the process? Eating nourishing foods that make you feel vibrant, finding workouts that bring you joy, celebrating small wins along the way – like lifting heavier weights, running longer distances, or waking up energised. Suddenly, you’re exercising and eating well not just to fit into old jeans, but because it genuinely makes you feel good.
As you fall in love with the journey, something shifts. Maybe you no longer care about those jeans because your self-worth isn’t tied to them anymore. Maybe you realise their cut is outdated and treat yourself to a new pair that makes you feel amazing. The original goal may fade, but the outcome is even better: a healthier, more confident you.
Opening Up to Greater Possibilities
Our desires serve as guideposts, but when we cling too tightly to a specific outcome or rigidly define the how, we limit ourselves. By loosening our grip, we open up to possibilities far beyond what we originally envisioned. In the example above, you may very well end up fitting into those jeans – but even if you don’t, you’ve gained something far greater: self-love, well-being, and inner peace.
Pisces season reminds us that our perspectives are small and limited compared to the vast, unseen possibilities the universe holds for us. When we let go, we create space for something even better than what we imagined. So this season, embrace the art of surrender – allow the universe to surprise and delight you.
