When the Past Won’t Let Go: Finding Your Rhythm in the Now with Irosun Meji

This week, Ifá reminds us that stuck energy isn’t always because something’s wrong—sometimes, it’s because we’re living backwards.

With Irosun Meji as the guiding energy and Owonrin Meji hiding beneath the surface, the message is clear: you can’t move forward while your spirit is still rehearsing the past.

If things feel slow, stagnant, or unfulfilled right now, it’s not because you’re lazy or cursed. It’s because something in you is still living by old stories—measuring your worth by what you lost, what didn’t work, or who didn’t show up.

This week, Ifá is guiding you to reclaim your rhythm—but this time, with fresh feet and clear vision.

Where You Are Now (Irosun Meji)

Irosun Meji represents Òṣun as the sacred sound—but when it’s unbalanced or distorted, that sound is off-beat.

Right now, your life may feel like it’s not flowing, not blossoming, and not aligning the way it “should.” You’re doing the work. You’ve planted the seeds. But the harvest seems late. You’re wondering:

• “What am I missing?”
• “Why isn’t anything working?”
• “Why do I feel like I’m always chasing the thing I want instead of attracting it?”

Irosun says: The rhythm is off because you’re still trying to build the new with the energy of the old.
You want evolution—but you’re using recycled language, recycled decisions, and recycled self-worth.

This is the Odu that calls for a new reasoning, a different mindset—not just better strategy. You can’t force alignment with effort alone. You have to tune your energy, your thoughts, and your speech into the present moment.

What’s Beneath It: The Root Cause (Owonrin Meji)

Owonrin Meji is the “Reversed Head.” It’s a powerful reminder that the past doesn’t just live in your memory—it can haunt your patterns.

This week, old situations, people, memories, or habits may resurface. Not to hurt you—but to test you.

Ifá is asking:

“Will you respond to the present with the voice of your past?”

If you’re still letting old heartbreaks, old rejections, old money mistakes, or old labels define who you are now—you’re not living. You’re looping.

Owonrin Meji reminds us:

“The past is not a place to live. It is a teacher, not a template.”

You might be chasing a dream with the mindset of someone who was once overlooked.
You might be launching something new while still hearing the voices of those who doubted you.
You might be measuring your value by your income or achievements—rather than your integrity, your growth, and your alignment.

This is the energy of trying to walk forward while looking backward. And that’s why things feel off. It’s not punishment. It’s an energetic misalignment that Ifá is lovingly showing you how to correct.

Course Correction (How to Move Through the Week)

This is a week for radical self-honesty and emotional recalibration.

✨ Here’s how to shift:

• Stop romanticizing your past. Even if it gave you comfort, it can’t give you progress.
• Refuse to shrink into old responses. If the old version of you would go silent, lash out, or shut down—choose something new this time.
• Separate your worth from your wallet. Ifá says: You are not your balance sheet. Your growth is internal before it’s material.
• Use your voice wisely. Irosun is sound. Speak new things into your space. Watch your words. They’re calling your future in—don’t let your tongue cancel it.

Relationships & Energy This Week

• Be aware of old wounds replaying through new people. Not everyone is your past in a different outfit—but some things may return to test your healing.
• Don’t be shocked if you hear from people you thought were long gone. If they resurface, ask: “Who am I now—and what do I need to remember before I respond?”
• If you’re the one wanting to reconnect with someone from your past, check your intention: Is it love, or is it nostalgia?

Work & Finances

• Avoid panic-based decision-making. Slowness doesn’t mean failure. Be careful not to chase short-term gain at the cost of long-term alignment.
• Don’t compare your journey to others’. That’s Owonrin whispering that you’re “behind.” You’re not. You’re just being called to build from deeper integrity.
• Reassess your goals this week—not based on money or metrics, but based on meaning. What actually matters to you now?

Closing Reflection

This week is not about working harder.
It’s about listening deeper.

When Irosun speaks and Owonrin whispers behind it, Ifá is calling you to refine your inner soundtrack.

Stop letting echoes of your past become the voice of your future.
Your rhythm is not lost—it’s waiting for you to finally stop dancing to yesterday’s beat.

You are allowed to evolve.
You are allowed to do things differently.
You are allowed to create with your healed self now.

Aṣé.
