In a world where inputs and outputs flow fast and loud, how do you cut through the noise to be heard with your message?
Having an authentic message that cuts through is a starting place, but it’s not the full solution.
Being heard in a noisy world requires a strategy.
The answer isn’t to speak more or to be louder than others.
Imagine being at a large party where the music is blaring and everyone is engaged in conversation. No matter how loud you shout, most people won’t hear you. It’s like shouting into the wind. You can hardly hear yourself.
As Mars and Mercury come together in Scorpio in a trine to the North Node, they give us a blueprint for a more effective strategy.
Sniper Energy
Scorpio is sniper energy. A sniper doesn’t just shoot indiscriminately, hoping that some bullets will land. Instead, the sniper prepares:
- He practices his skills, his aim, his reflexes.
- He does research on the target to learn where the target will be.
- He plans in advance to be in the right place at the right time.
- He sets himself up in a perch.
And then he waits. He practices patience, staying in position until the target comes into view and he has a clear shot. Then he fires.
Nobody sees it coming, but everyone notices it.
With one shot, a sniper cuts through the noise.
Go back to that party. Instead of trying to shout over the music, the noise, and the crowd, what happens if you wait until there’s a lull in the action. Suddenly, you can say your piece.
The Risk of Cutting Through
In many ways, it can feel safer to shout into the wind. You get to believe you’re saying your piece, even if nobody hears it.
When you cut through the noise with a potent message, you invite attention. And with attention comes the risk of criticism and rejection.
Mars and Mercury in a supportive trine to the North Node in Pisces helps us cut through the noise with compassion for ourselves and others, and courage.
The deep messages that are brewing under the surface have the capacity to cut through and make an impact. But we must summon the courage to cut through the noise.
