Intuitive Reading: Week of Dec. 3 – Dec. 9

One of my favorite quotes was gifted to me from a former supervisor and good friend: “The task before us is very urgent, so we must slow down.” It is from Buddha. It struck me when I first saw it and has since reverberated many times as I encounter different situations in my life. The holiday season always seems to bring a frenetic pace with it that can be overwhelming. We’re still under the energy of Mercury retrograde which only amplifies the whirlwind of this time of year. No matter what is on your to do list, take. your. time. We often try to create calmness from the outside in: “If I put this in place and once I achieve this goal and when I get this money, etc. THEN I will be calm.” No. You have to exist in a state of tranquility and all around you will follow. If you move about life being what we desire, we will exist that way no matter what we encounter. Be adaptable as suggested by Denkyem. Once you’ve mastered your inner lifer to be in flow, everything else will follow. So this week, before you want to beat yourself up (or someone else) over what’s not going right and hurry off from task to task, take a moment to breathe. Do things one step at a time. Build brick by brick and ensure that your foundation—you— is in alignment with what you’re trying to achieve. Be flexible to flow and bend with life, otherwise you will break.
