Lita, Goddess Of Growth (00:00)
So hello again, Lita goddess of growth here. I was actually quite excited about a week ago as I acknowledged that my self-imposed brand name, Lita, goddess of growth has been acknowledged by AI on Google. This is part of my visibility platform and process.

And I encourage you to do the same if you’re someone that’s out there hoping to coach or promote your business, your service. We are in the age of social media, connecting with others online. How else will people get to know us? Today, we’re looking into harvesting in the drought, planting seeds for new beginnings. And you know,

When is it that we go around and collect the flowers, the fruits, the vegetables? At what point do we harvest? Especially if we don’t actually know that we’re in a drought. And my podcasts so far are very self-absorbed. They’re very much about myself as I introduce myself. I really would like at some point for others to come forward and communicate and it would be lovely to hear

your story and see how your story has helped with your very own transformation. The last podcast I spoke about my Pluto Square, Pluto transit for those that read astrology you’ll understand for those that do not study astrology let’s just say my life went through a harsh transformation. Some might reflect and think not so harsh but for me

being in it. At this moment I feel really aged. I feel as if the wind has been almost taken out of me. I’ve definitely aged over the last few weeks and I don’t mean in number.

and I was having a conversation and in that conversation I had an aha moment as you do and I understood fully what it means to try to harvest whilst actually you’re in a drought. I was trying to get things out of a time where the universe was actually encouraging me to stop, stand still, take a seat back.

I definitely had to do enough to keep moving. I definitely believed that life would not have come to me had I decided to just stay in bed whilst things were progressing to and through me. This was my lesson, this was my life lesson. Only I could go through it.

But in going through it, the challenges came, the hopes, the dreams. What does faith really mean to you? Does faith only work when things go your way? That was one of the questions throughout the transit. Can I accept that the good, the bad, the indifferent all happen collectively to create the lives that we are creating on a day-to-day basis?

and to take ownership of it all. All.

Sometimes just like a plant pot sometimes we’re planting intentional seeds and it’s not until the spring that we see what was up beneath. I’ve had many a plant plot put seeds in had an idea as to what I was expecting for the spring for there to be a completely different bloom plant sprout that has come out to what I’ve planted.

You know, soil, if you’re a planter, soil has many seeds within, even if they sterilise the soil, as I know some companies have said they do, you often find different things growing at different times of the year. And that’s a good analogy of life. There are things beneath the surface that we may not have personally intentionally placed. We’re talking about

our ancestry, our lineage, our cells, our DNA, the agreement that we made before we came here with whoever we made it as we got here. I truly believe there are souls that came through this dark period that I’ve been through to come and interject some light and they disappeared. People coming in to give me loans, people coming to give me criticism, to give me advice and then step back.

whatever it was, this was the time and season that I was to go through.

illnesses have taken over my nearest and dearest. So they were the ones that would be there to champion a cause, give me time to talk through any changes I was going through. They were not available because they were dealing with their illness. It wasn’t selfishness. This was a necessity. They had to focus on their health and their health has not got better. There’s been relief in some areas. Some have gone further in a more of a decline.

So my support system…

Yeah, has gone.

I’ve learned to be encouraged to go back to myself.

There’s so much energy trying to harvest in a season of drought and if you’re like me that feeds off what the energy from others are is that’s coming around us.

The expectation, why aren’t you doing? Why are you doing? And knowing that you’ve got people around you that have no clue, as much as they believe in a good or have faith or what have you for some reason, people have no clue that often what we’re going through is connected to such things so much bigger than what we see. Why is that?

In fact, when we’re giving guidance and support, we do need to tap in and say, you know what? I get it. You’re going through X, Y, Z. But what’s the bigger picture? I love reading astrologers and so when they make comments about transits and what’s happening with this and what’s happening with that. I’m no astrologer. I’ve been reading astrology for years, but I’m not an astrologer. What I like to do is get the message within the

the transit, the context, the message, what is it telling you?

I’m quite good at that. Much better at doing it for others than myself because whilst I’m looking at myself I’ve got a vested interest and I do have a habit of trying to dismiss the bad things and projecting the good things and then wondering why the other happened and this didn’t happen and so but for others I can see the picture what it’s what it’s telling me harvesting in a drought how many times have you done that? Tried to extract

from a situation where the things that you need to extract just aren’t ready. Like the child that is forced to grow up early, wash, cook, clean, iron, be the mother of the house, so to speak. You’re expecting her to have wise decisions and an awareness and knowing because you’ve trained her to do the house.

but actually she’s not had the life experience to match the physical doing.

that’s how we see a plant pot. The plant pot has so much nutrients you know even the soil is dark you can’t see through it you don’t know what is in it but taking a step back you’re able to view the plants as they sprout the flowers as they sprout the buds coming through.

But we need to know the difference between a planting season, when is it to put our seeds and our seeds are always being planted mind you, even in the harvest. Every day we’re planting a seed that will be harvested at some point in the future, in our tomorrow. Intentional planting versus unintentional planting.

But we all have periods in our life where we come across and are encouraged and forced through a drought.

if we reflect, think for me, it’s happened more than once in my life, I think. Would I say this has been the worst one? Different scenarios, different environment. You know, when I was younger, I moved around a lot. I didn’t have a mortgage. I didn’t have a home to call my own.

the picture has changed the scenario is different this time the survival instincts was really prominent and to hear the same old feedback you’re not doing enough you should do this you should do that if I was you I would do this I love it when people tell you what they’re going they would do if they were in your case which they’ve never been in it’s an interesting phenomenon the drought

And I don’t know what it is why we all forget the droughts in our life. Regardless of how wealthy you might be, there’s always been some level of drought. There’s been some reckoning. But for some reason we don’t have that grace or empathy for others when they’re going through their time. And it’s a nice thing to be around people that’s in different seasons. How else do you have that contrast? If we were in a zone,

war for example would you want to see everybody in a panic or would you like to have a mix of people some people calm some people reflective like you need that variety so that you can always shift your mood shift your focus because ultimately we want to be balanced not too high not too low just Zen

This is Lea Tahir, goddess of growth, I was speaking about Pluto square, Pluto, which I’ve been through, my midlife crisis and how it took energy and youth away from me. I’m aged now. I can feel it physically, get the hot flushes. I wear wigs now as well, and they can be really hot. I never knew they could be as hot as they are.

strange things that I knew

And as much as we think about droughts and season, it’s about acknowledging time because time is not just about our age, our solar returns, our progressions, our perfection years, or the day as we sit in on a day-to-day basis. Time and season is also about the collective, what we’re going on, what’s going on environmentally, politically, globally.

Right?

seasonality and acknowledging that there’s a spiritual significance throughout it all, like how much of it has already happened, was already destined to happen.

So I do believe it was pre-written but has it all happened before? Have I done this before? Or is this all new? Am I creating this new? Is this a new, new, new, new, new experience?

And then we have real life kicking in as I feel the heat of my body and I have to cool myself with water with ice to remind me I’m a physical body, I’m in the present. This is the reality that I’m living. Financial pressure. How much of it can we change? And that’s another thing because whilst I was going through the Pluto, Square Pluto, it was almost like…

I wanted everything to change but my home and I spoke in the last podcast about coming towards the end of the transit and then all of a sudden all I want to do is change my home.

Not that there’s anything wrong with my home per se, but I just feel quite enclosed here now. I need more space.

Financial droughts, emotional droughts.

I feel as if my drought was more financial than emotional. But then the opportunity to interact with others, to connect with each other and others on an emotional level, as outside of social media was sparse. Unless of course it involved an interaction.

where I was, you know, asking for a loan or so. I think that was the most emotion that I came across towards the end of the transit.

People have been very distant.

distant maybe because part of it is questioning why at my right age I’m going through difficulty at this stage of life but also distant because within my collective lots of people are having health issues people have started to pass away more frequently so the focus has shifted it’s not about the

me supports you support that we had before life has changed priorities have changed.

Just like my birthday of last year, there was no big celebration. Everyone seemed to be celebrating in a space where I was really impoverished. I found I had lost some finance. I wasn’t able to do things as I would have liked to have done. In fact, I didn’t plan a big 50th bash. It just wasn’t a priority for me. So I found myself in an environment where…

everyone was celebrating but me. I pacified myself by spending the day baking a cake but the point of my story is that actually sometimes we are with others that are in different realities and as I’ve gotten to this stage of life I now question this party, the reason for a party if actually my life is not balanced, it’s not right.

In the old days if I didn’t have I could definitely muster up an outfit, a little bit of money and be present. You would look glamorous and no one would know what you had in your fridge, in your cupboard. But today priorities have shifted, life has changed. If I’m not okay at home I don’t feel comfortable leaving to go and party anywhere else. I’m still celebrating those who need to be celebrated but in my own way.

but I must say the financial limitations that I’ve gone through, I can’t do them anymore. I’m really exhausted and I do know that life has to shift. I need to feel a value in the work that I do. No more can I do work for free for no return.

And I question if, as I’m not having children, husband and so, the dream of a house, is it really something to hold onto? I did it because I thought I was going to have a family of my own. I didn’t have any trust that I would meet a man that was going to house, clothe and feed me. That wasn’t my life story. And somehow, by this second property, I did it again on my own.

So now what is it that I’m working towards? It’s an interesting place to be in. Financial limitations has made me consider the quality of my life and the reasons for life as I’m living it. There is uncertainty. No idea really what I’m working towards because I’ve lived…

a life of survival so long and there has been a lot of time just surviving. I’m really tired of just surviving and I’m really tired of pretending and when I say pretending showing up to places and being made to feel that I should have when I don’t have. I’ve done it so many times before, gone on a holiday, used a credit card,

come back and spent a year or so paying it off tired of it.

no more will I allow anyone else’s frustration that I don’t have to determine how much I will have to risk on in the future. Now is the time to clear out and start again. New furniture, new environment, new decor, something needs to change. I don’t know what it will be, but something needs to change.

no more false promises, no more pretending. And when I say no pretending, gosh, I haven’t had a relationship in such a long time. And I cannot remember a relationship in a very long time where I didn’t have to squint my eyes or make extra allowances just for the sake of having a relationship. And that would be the truth.

I’m in a different space, I’m older now and I am thinking well okay how am I living my last quarter, who knows how long I will be here, surely there must be quality in life, it’s not so much about quantity because for me there’s been decades I would say yeah had I known if I did of would I, could I, should I, that kind of situation.

I’m here in my home. I really hope that spirit doesn’t think I’m being ungrateful, but it’s been a place of incubation, a sanctuary, a place for the release of my old self. And the financial limitations has meant I have had to come face to face with myself. There was no get out clause. This was my space and my space, but this was my space. A feeling of being stuck.

and only recently did I acknowledge it as the season of drought. I thought it was a season of planting seeds and ploughing and waiting for things to happen. Not realising that yeah, yeah you were planting but it wasn’t ready, there wasn’t time now for your things to manifest.

no children. I thought by now at least one child, two children max. Our husband.

and the meaning what does my life mean as a woman what does that mean now questions no answers the coaching that’s the only thing that gives me joy and hope but even the way it’s delivered has changed everything has changed

You know, we started off with my hypnotherapy base, hypnoanalysis, emotional freedom techniques, alternative therapy. And then I find myself this year being encouraged to coach, but coach based on what people want and need. So people want and need in this time of economic crisis, so to speak. They want a way to monetize, to make money, to grow, to get visibility.

How do we match that with my ideas of transformation? Because I understand that actually for money to flow through my life, I need to transfer my ideas, my self-concept. It starts from within. So now I have to find a way to match what I know from my soul and really transform it in my life and the life of others.

And we start with tools on a platform. We start with ideas of community, of connection. Ideas.

And with those ideas we tap into purpose, we try to find meaning. But they’re only as good as those that come forward to connect the dots with us, participate in the transformation on offer.

And that’s where after so many years, 2022 to just the end of July 2025, working towards what I thought I was working on my fully self-employed business where I wouldn’t have to do any work for anyone else, just myself.

I sit and wonder how much of it was a dream and how much of it was actually…

planting seeds to create a reality. There’s definitely a disconnect between the time and resources I’ve spent building, building, building to come to the end and to question well what do I have here. I closed my creator account on TikTok just a few days ago. It’s got 30 days to close down fully. I should have done it ages ago. Should have, would have, could have.

They suppressed that account almost from day one when I opened it. I’m glad I had it because I got to see the other side. Only my posts were suppressed most of the time.

I suppose I needed to go through it because I needed to be in a position as to when I coach others for us to understand fully, okay, well, we can transform. We can acknowledge what it is that we want to change and make better and so, but understand in life, there’s what we can do and what is there to be done. I’ve had this house, I’ve got two spare rooms.

I have had it on advert for a very long time. I’ve learned that in this life we can have resources and still not make money. I remember watching an old war movie and found that prisoners were released from jail and they were brought to a piece of land that had lots of gold and trinkets that were stolen from the houses.

and it was intriguing because these people were brought there they had all these jewels luxuries household goods that were valuable but the simple thing of having things like water and food was not there so those things that were so valuable were worthless in the time of need

And those are the things that one reflects upon when they’ve left a period of drought. Like what is it that we’re taking forward of value actually? What are we left with? And even at this end, the end of a drought, you come forward and you question the things that we find in our homes around us.

that we collected, there was a time that we really wanted those things. There was a purpose for them. And then one day you look around and there are things that you haven’t used in such a long time, things that you’ve not seen for years locked in a cellar, in a loft somewhere, in a shed somewhere. They were really important at one time and then…

All of a sudden years go by you’ve not seen them and you don’t even remember that you have them.

season of harvest.

Biblically they say for everything there is a time and a season, do they not? Is it Corinthians 13? They talk about when I was a child, I behaved as a child and…

We need to teach children, I think, seasons. And to teach children that actually the idea that we are all in this world but in different worlds, this is a real and true concept. In one classroom, we’ve got children with different histories, genetically, spiritually, and in different seasons of life. And we need to understand that contrast from childhood.

because that will help us greatly in adult food. The time to sow, the time to eat.

but if you’re anything like me maybe you would be told anyway and still try to push the boundary find out if it’s true test it out wait till the middle the end of the season before you finally ignore it hold on a minute this is actually true I should have trusted this is what’s going on this is the season that I’m in

If you’re spiritually aware, I doubt you need astrology actually because I can tell you there is a feeling, there is some kind of connection, it’s like a almost inner knowing. I use astrology just to, I suppose, evidence what I’m feeling, what’s going on and the patterns I find easier to look at in others than myself because I have a vested interest in how things

how I want things to play out in my life.

But if there’s anything that I’ve learnt from 22 to 25 end of July, there is patience. patience doesn’t mean denial or pretending everything is okay. But patience could actually be taking some time out in the day to just spend some moments breathing, focusing, getting centered.

⁓ just breathing.

and I know it’s not easy because I too still want to know okay what’s next, why, what’s going on. I feel disappointment in the time that I let pass thinking that things will work out in the end and they do work out in the end but I’ve understood now that not necessarily in the way that we’d like.

when they tell you it’s all going to be alright yeah it’s all going to be alright but maybe not necessarily in the way that you envisage even that is okay isn’t it this life is a short one we’ve all come for a contracted period of time and now I understand probably more emphasis needs to be on that knowledge the beginning the end

so that the quality is really focused, we focus on it in between what people have to say and you know, they’re just mirrors coming in to us, remind us to get back on path on purpose. But building the quality in the in between the beginning, the end is really so important.

I’m ready to move on but I find myself trapped.

I find myself trapped in the survival, the survival mode that I’ve been in really for a lifetime and I understand that I am resilient, I am a fighter, I’ve put myself through embarrassing situations just to keep my home.

and now I am ready I’m ready to move on I don’t know what moving on looks like

I don’t know how it will be with little to no resources. Do I need to survive some more? Put in more hours? Like what do I need to do to make it happen? I really don’t know. But I must admit over the last two weeks there’s a part of me that’s just surrendered. I’m just like actually rather than continuing trying to build.

you know this is the time to start cleaning out and there’s been many a day when I’ve just wanted to just cut things out, advertise sofas, like just get things gone, like I have nothing to replace them but I just want them out. How ungrateful is that right? It’s non-intentional, I’m just done, I’ve done my time, I’ve done it now, it’s like now it’s time to move forward.

So there is a surrender accompanied by uncertainty.

and I know that the full surrender and acknowledgement of how I feel because feeling what we feel is really important. This is not about me asking for permission to feel, no. This is me acknowledging what I feel because I understand my feelings are like the litmus tests. They’re the barometer, the barometer, the thermometer to tell me okay, where you are right now, something needs to change.

surrendering is okay understanding that I can only control what can I control

my response to ever-changing circumstances on an every moment and day-by-day basis. But in understanding that, I understand that with the shift, I am now open and ready for new possibilities, new opportunities, and I also understand that there are opportunities that will come my way that aren’t just not for me. How about that?

so many things it’s like going into the cupboard and deciding to bake a cake I love this analogy when you go to bake a cake you go to the cupboard there’s a set list of ingredients for your in your recipe you’re not going to go to the cupboard and put everything from the cupboard into the cake and that’s life so it’s about being open and then when the opportunities and possibilities come my way being as centered as possible so that I know

okay this feels right this is for me ⁓ no this probably is not the one for me right now and the intention is to raise my energy enough that actually the more I progress the opportunities that come are much more in alignment to my destiny and purpose so it’s not just a question of if they are suitable for me it’s a case of okay when do I get started

Are you in what’s called a liminal space my darlings? Are you like me that’s just at the end at the cusp you’ve not left you’ve just left that dark space just at the end you can see the light but you’ve not quite stepped over into that chapter.

I do feel that there is a time and a space that I need to take and put aside for mourning. I’ve said to myself if I can and I live to see it I’d love to travel, take myself away and really just put this last chapter to bed. I’ve not had a chance to really mourn the dream of a life as to what it could be.

but that’s okay. I plod on.

So if you are in the in-between stage

the living little space similar to my own do tap in and let me know how it’s going for you I know for myself there are times when I feel hopeful not quite excited I go into a bit of a dream world to what could be what might be if things were different or if I did this or you know that’s a different way

I’m thankful that the drought has gone. I’m thankful that the new season has begun. And I understand there’s just some weeds that need to be taken and cut away. I understand all of that. I am looking forward to the summer to come on this season where I can bask in the glory.

flowers and everything that has manifested. Until then, I understand I need to respect the spaces that I’m in, the time, the place, because otherwise what tends to happen, I try to continually skip past the lessons of life. We know that that doesn’t happen, right? And in wanting to skip past it, I think in a way it makes it harder.

but we’re using lemons and we’re making lemonade and we’re not going to continue sucking, sucking, sucking the lemon. I do love a lemon though. Admittedly, I do love a lemon.

So I do encourage you to connect. This is a podcast where we can build community and I would love to build community. If you are listening, please pass this on to others. If you’d like to support my presence, we’ve got ways to do so at the end of the podcast, but more so than anything, I would love for listeners to really connect with me if you have any questions, any suggestions.

if you’d like to open up communication on this space I’d love you to do so.

And in the meantime I invite you my listeners to reflect on your own season. What season are you in right now? What season have you been through? Are you in a season of harvesting? Are you in a season of sewing? Do you know the difference?

Thank you so much for being here. You’ve been a flea to our goddess of growth. I look forward to seeing your comments at the end of this podcast.
