Now that you’ve allowed yourself some space and rested, it’s time to move on.  You’ve come to accept the realization that something … a relationship or a situation … is no longer working for you.  ‘Ua ōla loko i ke aloha … Love gives life within, so you must love yourself to maintain a healthy body, mind and spirit.  Don’t be sad that you have to let go because this is necessary for your highest good.  Trust your gut and know that better times are ahead for you.  Make the choice to close the door so that another opens to you.  Don’t let the security of a regular paycheck tie you to a dead-end job.  Things will not change or improve unless you act.  You can do it … that is, you can manifest, bring into your reality, what you are seeking to feel more fulfilled and happier with your life.  If inner reflection reveals finally that a long-term relationship is no longer workable, find the courage to end it now because there will never be a good moment to do it.  If you’re dating, don’t act rashly and give yourself time to think more about what you seek.  If you’re still resting your spirit and still in the energy vibe of yesterday’s need for rest, then find depth and inner wisdom in solitude and in listening to the small still voice inside your heart.  Don’t allow stress to gnaw at you and cause health problems.

You or someone close to you is in need of space, and so allow it.  This is a time to rest and recuperate.  Others have been vying for your time and attention, but you need to set some boundaries now and just say “no”.  Of course, if others are saying “no” to you, now is the time you respect their boundaries and don’t push it, else the situation backfires in your face.  You need a break to get some perspective, so if it’s possible to take a long weekend or a little time off of work, do it.  Patience with the process of progress comes when you step back and give yourself room to breathe.  If you can’t take off from work, then do something different to give you the space to breathe.  Take walks at lunch.  Switch the TV off or, for that matter, all your electronics off, and go to bed earlier.  If you need to switch jobs, then again, be proactive. Your feelings are your own, but don’t cut your partner off and increase distance between you.  Gently communicate that you just need some time apart to clear your head.  With your finances, you might need to think through different options about bringing in more income, especially if you’ve fallen a little behind on your payments.  Procrastination is never your friend, so use this time to get back on track.  Just keep moving forward and try to remain upbeat so that you attract the prosperity you deserve.  Bottom line:  slow down and take it easy, and be thankful for what you have.  Pushing yourself without rest is just inviting trouble with your health, on every front.  Quiet time is healing time.

Just like the Death card, the Devil isn’t a scary card … it is a sign that you need to look beyond the superficial appearance of things to get to the deeper truth of the situation within.  And, as with any situation or relationship with which (or whom) you feel restrained, you ultimately hold the keys to the answers inside your heart.  So, don’t give up hope because there are always options available to you … it’s always your choice.  You are traveling yet another path of the Fool’s journey toward more expansive horizons, and so it is natural to feel that you are not in control of your present situation.  For every action (or inaction!) there is a definite reaction.  Now is not the time to sit on your laurels or in a corner and choose to do nothing.  Make small moves in this now … that is forward movement … and allow yourself the feeling that you are in control.  Consider the trade-offs of moving away from situations or relationships that are familiar, but now uncomfortable because they constrain you.  You aren’t trapped unless you consent to being trapped.  What are you afraid of experiencing if you move away from the familiar?  Allow your ambition to empower you to act upon what is truly within your heart.

Ah, we’ve levelled up to yet another new beginning!  You have learned a lot about yourself these past two moon cycles and with this Pink Full Moon, you are viewing today from a more expansive spiritual perspective.  You’ve been minding the signs along the path that indicated your need to pare down on the material and focus inward, and this approach brings you to a much sought-after opportunity to uncover another aspect of yourself.  Those ideas that sparked projects or uniquely creative work opportunities are taking shape nicely.  Don’t worry if others don’t “get you” or your perspective.  The important thing is that you are trusting the direction you are taking your life now.  Enjoy feeling this freedom … unfurl those sails and head for the horizon.  Finances are continuing to improve, and this adds to your feeling of security in pursuing your present heading.  You might have to go this first leg of your new journey alone, however, so don’t feel badly if you cannot commit to new relationships at this time.  Once you get your bearings, you’ll have plenty of opportunities for new relationships ahead.  This is a time to step back and look at the Big Picture and explore what is before you.  Enjoy the exploration knowing that you are broadening your horizons of understanding.

Today is a great day at work.  You may be asked to travel and do take advantage of the opportunity, if you can.  Energies are upbeat, positive and leave you feeling enthusiastic and confident that you are reaching your goals.  Projects are likely to be or are turning out successful and better than envisioned.  Take pride in your good work.  If you’re job hunting, then you are likely going to receive positive results from your interviews in the form of job offers.  Continue to expand communication with your partner and realize a tighter bond of commitment between you both.  If you’re dating, you may meet a light-haired person through work and that will catch your fancy.  Your money is flowing easier than it did yesterday, so take advantage of this opportunity to save a little more by continuing to cut extravagant expenses here and there.  When you go through your exercising today, enjoy the energy burst in the form of enthusiasm during your session, but take care not to overdo it and sprain or otherwise injure yourself.  Spiritually, you discover yet another way to look at your life and will feel inspired to pursue that avenue.  You will also feel gratitude in this further expansion of your spirit, so be sure to pay it forward.

Did you awaken feeling anxious and fearful?  What makes you worry?  The number 9 tells you to slow your roll to relieve the stress.  Breathe and calm yourself.  Is what you are worried about something within your power or control?  If so, you can do something about it now.  If not, examine the situation for something that can be changed to make things more workable.  If you are placing more stock into making your life more than what it is at the moment, alleviate your worry by choosing to focus on the ordinary things that you might be overlooking and taking for granted as being a part of your life, and take joy and comfort in recognizing the beauty in those things now.  Is something troubling you about your relationship?  Don’t ignore your gut feelings … if it feels unhealthy, then perhaps now is the time to address the problem directly.  Slow down and look critically at what’s happening.  Find out what resources you need and use them.  Stress is unhealthy for mind, body and spirit, so consider possible ways to change your current lifestyle and spending habits.  Take the time to meditate so that these questions and possible solutions become clear in your mind.  It’s time to silence that monkey mind.
