5 Things to Do When Your Spiritual Business is Slow

What Should You Do When Your Spiritual Business is Slow?

Hey, kings and queens! If you’ve been feeling like your spiritual business has hit a plateau, trust me, I know the vibes can get real funky when things slow down. The divine flow isn’t always rapid-fire, but don’t stress, babe. Slow seasons come with deep lessons and big opportunities to realign with your soul's purpose. So, let’s get into these 5 juicy tips for when your spiritual biz isn’t moving like you’d hoped. And yes, spirit’s got messages too—I pulled some tarot and oracle cards to guide us through this, so grab your crystals and let’s get into it.

1. Re-evaluate Your Foundation (Knight of Pentacles Reversed)

When the Knight of Pentacles shows up reversed, it's time to ask: Are you moving with intention, or just spinning your wheels? If business is slow, use this as your moment to check if your foundation is solid. This isn’t about doing more; it’s about doing what truly matters. Look at your services—are they aligned with your core values? Is your energy in sync with the offerings you put out into the world?

This card is all about patience, but reversed, it's hinting that maybe you're pushing too hard for results without tending to the roots. Reconnect with why you started this journey in the first place. Review your business structure, offerings, and pricing. Is there something you’re holding onto that’s out of alignment with your current goals? Clean house, energetically and literally. Take time to revisit the basics and trust that the small steps you take now are laying the foundation for long-term success.

2. Invest in Mastery (8 of Pentacles)

Spirit’s telling you to dive into your craft with the 8 of Pentacles. This card is the "get to work" energy, but it’s not about busy work; it’s about refining your skills and building mastery. If things are slow, now’s the perfect time to invest in your personal and professional development. Enroll in that online course, learn a new healing modality, or dive deeper into your spiritual practice. Your clients will feel the difference when you’ve leveled up.

The 8 of Pentacles is also a reminder that slow doesn’t mean stagnant. Every time you dedicate yourself to improvement, you’re manifesting abundance—even if you don’t see the results immediately. So, if business is slow, it’s the universe giving you the space to grow. Embrace the process of becoming the expert in your field. Mastery takes time, but every step will make you shine even brighter when the clients do come rushing back.

3. Nurture Abundance Mindset (King of Pentacles)

The King of Pentacles is here to remind you that abundance isn’t just financial—it’s about stability, security, and knowing that the universe has your back. When business slows down, it can be easy to fall into a scarcity mindset, but the King is saying: Don’t trip! You are the embodiment of abundance, and it's time to act like it. Reaffirm your belief in your own value and the value of what you offer.

Take this moment to look at your money mindset. Are you operating from a place of fear, or are you standing confidently in your worth? Remember that what you put out energetically is what you attract. Spend time working on affirmations and manifestation rituals that call in abundance. This is a card of luxury and stability—so treat yourself like the king or queen you are, and trust that your business will mirror that energy.

4. Be Mindful of Energy Exchanges (6 of Pentacles Reversed)

The 6 of Pentacles reversed is a major vibe check. Are you over-giving, or are you holding back out of fear that there won’t be enough? It’s time to reevaluate how you’re exchanging energy with your clients and the universe. If business is slow, maybe the flow of giving and receiving is off. Are you undervaluing your services by offering too many freebies? Or are you hesitant to invest in yourself because you're worried about money?

Now is the time to balance the scales. The reversed 6 of Pentacles suggests there may be some financial or energetic leaks that need attention. You don’t have to give away your power to attract abundance. Be clear about your worth and ensure that you’re in equal, fair exchanges with those you serve. It’s okay to ask for help, and it’s okay to receive. Sometimes, the universe wants to remind you to let go and trust in its generosity.

5. Prioritize Joy and Alignment (10 of Cups)

The 10 of Cups is a beautiful reminder that your spiritual business should bring joy, both to you and your clients. When business is slow, it’s an invitation to reconnect with what brings you true fulfillment. Are you feeling drained, or are you lit up by the work you’re doing? The 10 of Cups is about emotional fulfillment, and when you align with what makes you truly happy, the abundance will follow.

This card is a call to prioritize your well-being, family, and personal happiness. When you’re vibrating at a high level of joy and alignment, your business will reflect that. So take time for self-care, spend time with loved ones, and do what fills your cup. Reconnect with your purpose and why you love this work in the first place. Your authentic energy will naturally draw in the right clients when you're feeling full and fulfilled.

Oracle Advice: Breathe and Trust the Process

Spirit’s got more gems for you with the oracle cards. The "Breath of the Cosmos" (Reversed) is reminding you to release control. If you’ve been micromanaging the universe, it’s time to let go. Trust that the divine timing of your business is unfolding exactly as it should. Slow doesn’t mean failure; it means preparation for something greater. Take a step back, breathe deeply, and let spirit take the wheel for a while.

"The Courageous Peony" is here to remind you to show up as your full, authentic self. The world needs your unique magic, so don’t hide behind what you think people want. Be bold, be colorful, and trust that your soul tribe will find you. Finally, "Called" (at the bottom of the deck) is spirit’s confirmation that you’re on the right path, even if it feels uncertain right now. You’re being called to step into greater purpose, and the slow period is part of your initiation into the next level of your journey.

Resources to Keep the Vibe High:

• Books: “You Are a Badass at Making Money” by Jen Sincero or “Sacred Success” by Barbara Stanny—both great for shifting that abundance mindset.

• Courses: Check out Udemy or Teachable for affordable classes on marketing, tarot mastery, or spiritual healing modalities.

• Apps: Use Insight Timer for guided meditations to help you stay grounded and aligned during slow periods.

Stay blessed, stay aligned, and remember: the universe is always working in your favor, even when it’s a little quiet. Trust the process, king/queen! You’ve got this.
