Month: November 2016

 

Today is a day for learning.  It’s time to examine your beliefs.  Ask yourself, “what one thing could I learn that would improve my life now?”  Once you’ve decided on your subject, hit the books.  Go to the recognized experts and pay close attention to their words.  Once you’ve absorbed the traditional teachings on this subject, you can begin to innovate, but for now, be a willing and cooperative student.  You may have an opportunity to teach someone something about life.  Will your teachings be flexible so that your student can integrate them into their own life, or are your beliefs rigid and dogmatic?  Who or what has been your teacher?  Do the lessons you’ve learned serve you well now, or is it time to seek a new teacher?  Are you making a decision based on what you believe you “should” do, or are you tuned into your higher calling?

 

Let kindness be your guiding word for today.  When you let your happiness flow through gentle, friendly interactions with others, it multiplies in the world, and will keep coming back to you.  So reach out to someone from your heart today.  Even the smallest gesture of kindness could make a big difference to them.  Be thankful for small gestures of kindness, and find ways that you can brighten the day of another.  If you are having difficulty in some area of your life, tune into your inner child — that gentle, innocent and wise part of yourself that has always been with you — for guidance.  What lesson from the past is relevant to you now?  It may also be that someone or something from your past will be useful to you now.  Think back to your past experiences for guidance.

Be gentle with yourself today and be sure to set aside some time for daydreaming.  It’s okay to say “no” to invitations, or to leave an unpleasant or uncomfortable situation.  Having good emotional boundaries is essential to restoring your energy on days like today.  Pay attention to any messages perceived from your dreams or love letters!

You are putting off making a decision for now.  You may be feeling ambivalent or uncertain.  You may not want to offend or hurt someone involved.  This card indicates the need for withdrawal in order to contemplate options.  Be rational in making a decision.  You need to know more facts before you can make an informed decision.  You are ignoring your emotions, using logic to deny how you’re feeling.  You may be denying the truth, or compartmentalizing some aspect of your life in order to not have to deal with it.  While it may be true that ignorance is bliss, ignorance or denial can also cause you to remain stuck in circular thinking and emotional patterns.  Think before you communicate today.

Let your fears and insecurities be a catalyst for change.  If you’ve been feeling incompetent in your work, think about what skills or new work habits will help you feel more confident.  If you’ve been ill, take a look at your lifestyle and make some practical plans for healthy changes.  Though it may not feel good, your fear is a valuable tool showing where you need to make changes.

It’s time to take a break from normal life’s pace, or either you are someone close to you needs to withdraw for a time.  The withdrawal is not likely permanent, and occasionally could mean illness or, rarely, time spent in a hospital.  Clearly, this is a time where you require space.  Others may be pushing too hard for bits of your time and attention.  Don’t hesitate to draw boundaries for yourself or to say “no”.  Conversely, when others say no to you, take them at your word and back off.  Pushing in these circumstances is asking for trouble.  Now is a great time to take off from work, if you can get away.  This Thanksgiving holiday is just the sort of long weekend that is required to get back some perspective.  If things at work haven’t gone forward as well as you’d like, then try not to take it personally and push harder.  Perhaps patience with the process is required, or, if you’re done with patience, then looking for more satisfying work elsewhere is what is needed to happen.  You may need a different course of action to approach your finances, anyway, by thinking through ways to bring in extra money.  Whatever your situation is at present, know that the financial logjam won’t last forever.  Consider an act of kindness done genuinely for another … that is the kind of Action that sparks good Karma.

Today, rather than reacting to the events that occur, take the time to reflect.  If someone or something upsets you, consider why you feel so strongly about the matter.  Does it remind you of something in your past?  Though it may be scary or painful to look so closely at your hidden motivations, doing so will give you valuable knowledge about yourself.

 

You are magical!  You can take a thought and transform it into something real:  that’s called Manifestation, and makes YOU a Creator!  Today, set an intention and follow through with action.  Dream it.  Create it.  You can do it!  You have the potential to make things happen.  The key to taking control of your life is to have a vision and then take action to make it happen.  Intention and action are both required.  When your intentions and actions are aligned, real magic happens!  Start gathering the resources you need to meet your goals.  The Universe is empowering you to manifest your vision.  Take advantage of this opportunity by staying focused on your goals and applying your Mana!!
