Emotional Mastery!!! Whew… What a Ride! The Power of Olokun

In this photo I did not know Olokun already choose me!!

Welcome to the Aftermath of Mercury Retrograde

All I can say is WOW!

The more I tap in, the more I understand myself—especially my emotions. And in this season, I’ve come to realize just how deeply connected I am to my spirit guide and Orisha… Olokun.

Olokun is one of the most powerful Orishas. The keeper of the unknown. The master of mystery. The deep ocean of emotions. A force so intense, so passionate, and so loving that he was chained to the bottom of the sea to keep his power contained. That kind of love and emotion? It can shake the earth. Now, I know Olokun is sometimes seen as a woman, but to me? He shows up as him—divine, deep, and masculine in energy.

This retrograde?

It held up a mirror I couldn’t look away from. And what I saw was this: It’s time to control these emotions. I’m an overthinker, yes. I feel everything intensely, yes. And I move quickly when something no longer serves me—but I’ve learned that every move doesn’t need to be loud or emotionally charged. Like Olokun, I care deeply. I love hard. And I can go from 0 to 1000 real quick if I’m not centered.

The wild part?

Most of my emotional reactions… are never wrong. 99.9% of the time, I’m spot on. But I had to learn: every truth doesn’t need a tantrum. Every feeling doesn’t need an audience. Sometimes, the most powerful move is silence.

This retrograde?

Whew. I loved someone with everything in me. That love cracked open something deep—it triggered my inner child and forced me to confront the part of myself I used to try and tuck away. People been telling me I needed to shift this part of me. But you know how it goes… you don’t really get it until the divine says, “Now’s the time.” And when it hit… it hit like a ton of bricks.

I cried.

I screamed.

And then I said, “No more.”

I am a beautiful being. I love in ways most people couldn’t even imagine. I lack nothing. I love unconditionally. I just need to learn to channel these emotions—not be imprisoned by them. Because listen… jail is not where I'm tryna be!

So, here’s to this new season. A season of emotional mastery. Of moving with wisdom, not just fire. Of honoring Olokun—not just in power, but in peace.

Asé.
