The Universe Knows Best: 5 Messages Behind Life’s Roadblocks

There are times when it feels like you're pushing against the grain. It seems as though your plans are on hold or blocked, and you may be facing financial troubles and other challenges. This could be the universe trying to communicate with you. Are you listening? Here are five ways the universe sends you messages.

1. Forcing the Issue

When you force something, it often breaks down immediately. If you're feeling resistance, it's essential to stop pushing too hard. The universe knows when a path isn’t aligned with you or if it's simply not the right time. Instead of trying to control the situation, practice patience and observation. Don’t give up, but allow the universe to show you if the path eventually realigns. It will send you signs to help you make informed decisions.

2. Losing Energy

Your body can sense when the time isn’t right, often before your mind does. During times when you feel like you're dragging your feet or are so depleted that you have to push yourself forward, take a pause. This is a crucial moment to slow down and recharge. Resting is not laziness; it’s how we recalibrate our energies. Think of it like dancing: when the music stops, you shouldn’t keep dancing as if it’s still playing. Take a break and wait for your next cue.

3. Repeating Obstacles

If the universe consistently closes doors or blocks your path, or if you notice negative patterns in what you attract, it’s a sign that you haven't yet learned a vital lesson. The universe is guiding you toward what your soul needs. If you ignore these signals, the intensity of the blocks may increase until you recognize, “Okay, I’ve had enough; I get it now.” Reflect on the fears you might not be facing. Are you struggling with a need for control, validation, fear of abandonment, or beliefs that you only deserve success through hard work? Analyzing these repeating patterns and the feelings they evoke can help you identify what truly needs to change to align with your true path.

4. Sudden Roadblocks

When you’re on the right path, the universe sends you messages and signs, such as the right people entering your life and positive coincidences occurring. However, there are times when unexpected obstacles or people may come into your life and halt your progress. This might manifest as someone who fails to assist you or delays your advancement. When this happens, remember that the universe is protecting you from pursuing a path that isn’t meant for you. If something doesn’t work out, it’s often due to potential dangers, low vibrational energy, or outcomes you might not have recognized beforehand.

5. Nothing Happens: Lack of Synchronicities and Joy

Likewise, the universe may also be “silent” in showing you any signs or synchronicities. You might feel as though the universe has abandoned you or that you are no longer being guided. You may find yourself thinking, “Hello, is anyone there?” If you consistently doubt whether you’re on the right track, that silence is the universe urging you to turn inward. Ask yourself what you truly want and how you feel about your decisions.

EXERCISE: Tune In to Your Body

There is a technique called somatic decision-making, which allows you to ask your body questions and pay attention to its responses. For instance, if you're uncertain about attending a party, stand tall but relaxed, and close your eyes slightly. When you pose a question to your body, observe whether it leans forward or backward. Leaning forward indicates a "yes," while leaning back signifies "no." This is how your body communicates; listen to it and give your logic a break.

Trust that there is a reason behind every delay and every closed door. Remember, whatever is meant for you doesn’t need to be forced. Shift your mindset from “Why is this happening TO me?” to “I trust that this is happening FOR me.”

Some of these teachings are based on insights from Romanian Astrologer Alexandra Coman.
