Power is a responsibility. This week you will know when to be receptive and when to be active. Listen and respond. There is something coming your way. Go ahead. Approach. Certain thoughts running through your head have you worried. You know that you want to move forward, but you have other responsibilities. You are trying too hard to express yourself. Something is beginning to go awry. Prepare. Think about how power makes people feel? Is someone trying to take from you? Are you trying to take from someone else? Surely there will be a struggle. It is important in this situation that you hold closely to your worth and potential, while being discreet. The whole situation will benefit you if you are disciplined and generous. To rule, you must serve. This will require you to go about your day to day business in a steadfast way. This will also require you to become more self-aware and find the goodness in others. Take action with the highest good for the most involved, yourself included. Pietro Aretino once said, “I am, indeed, a king, for I know how to rule myself.”
You are in a state of imbalance, even though you have accomplished much. Which way are you going? Fear is difficult to manage when you are at the top. There are so many things you have put your spirit into and you have a hard time mustering up the energy to rise to your own success. You are out of touch with the people that are important to you. This is not ideal. However, if you approach them with wise choices and a full spirit, your fortune will turn. You will receive energy from giving the last little bit that you have been hoarding. Find a way, sweet Gemini. This week marks a time when you can finally find nourishment from what you give. W. N. Thomas said, “In life it is possible merely to throw a heap of stones together, but this pile is not beautiful. We pyramid to the heights only when we lay stone on stone according to a beautiful plan. If we have no faith in the principles with which we build life, we are defeated.”
How will you start? The garden of your life will be infested with bugs and unsupported creatures. Do they not see that you have things to tend to? It can be overwhelming to try to grow, when your ideas make mountains out of ant hills. Instead you pause and resign yourself to being a sacrifice and taking the loss. This week will prove to you that until you reorganize your intentions and priorities you will be shockingly opposed at every seedling. Colby Dor Dam counsels, “Each person has an ideal, a hope, a dream of some sort which represents his soul. In the long light of eternity this seed of the future is all that matters! We must find this seed no matter how small it is; we must give to it the warmth of love, the light of understanding and the water of encouragement. We must learn to deal with people as they are - not as we wish them to be. We must study the moral values which shape our thinking, arouse our emotions and guide our conduct. We must get acquainted with our inner stream and find out what’s going on in our heads and hearts. We must put an end to blind, instinctive, sensory thought and feeling. We must take time to be human.”
The issue presented to you this week is about joy in life. Knowing simple pleasures and delightful being is a Leo’s birthright. So why do you feel so cold and calculating? Do you really have to make a decision about happiness while rooted in feelings of dispassion? You push into your future. You push out energy that you do not want. Daily existence has to have meaning and connection. Now where are you? I sense that you feel hesitant. Can you turn around? No. However, you can move forward deliberately and fix the situation in a constructive manner. If you feel overwhelmed, think about the words of Liz Smith, “If you don’t place your foot on the rope, you’ll never cross the chasm.”
A wish will be granted this week. However, it will leave you with a feeling of not being supported. Your self-worth will be low and yet you will carry on like a survivor. It is important to you to be mindful. You do not want to repeat the way you have done this before. Choose well. You really do not have many choices anyway. When you have decided, be clear and firm about your decision. The beauty of this situation is that you already know what you fear. That is half the battle in conquering. You are innocent. Continue being innocent. Someone once said, “The heritage of the past is the seed that brings forth the harvest of the future.”
Balance is a very important factor in the life of a Libra. This means that you will take deliberate action to moderate any situation which may seem off center. You may feel depleted of any idea that will fix a certain situation for you this week. Perhaps you will question the very spirit of your direction. Being unsure has its place….. as does truth. An action that is very important to you will succeed. Even though you are going at this in a way that most would not, your sincerity will shine through. This is true balance. Sometimes success comes when it is least expected. As written by Ibn Ata’Allah in The Key To Salvation: A Sufi Manual of Invocation, Meditate on these words: “I seek refuge in Thee from every hope which would distract me.”
Some say that ‘what you do not know won’t hurt you’. You know this to be untrue. Why? Holding back from something you want can be rewarding when you are still able to make other parts of your life fall into place. There are all sorts of hidden aspects in life and one can not be privy to them all. This is a moment of true greatness when you are able to teach us how to lead without letting it take over. True wisdom is knowing ignorance. You allow things to be revealed in their own natural time. Keep a low profile this week and surround yourself with good influences. Do not surround yourself with bad influences. Albert Camus once said, “Some people talk in their sleep. Lecturers talk while other people sleep.”
Due to Venus moving into the sign of Aries, you will find that the people around you will be more responsive. Your self-worth has recently taken a beating, but you will find, now, that you no longer feel like you are being made a victim. A crossroad will give you a choice: freedom or restriction. It is time to move forward. Spring is here and the grass is beginning to grow. Do not let it grow under your feet or you will lose your moment of renewal. The best way for you to travel is amongst others. The best way for you to be amongst others is without imposition. There is no wrong direction. Zig Ziglar said, “Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street.”
The three main elements that will make up your week will be encompassed inside you: restrained passion, delightful banter and a healthy sense of emotional power. You have wings that are bound by your spirit and truth to deliver you into virtue. Find a balance between what is too much and what is too little. Practice the Capricorn legendary sense of responsibility. Your week will be highlighted by what you put into it. Provide care for all involved, including yourself. Kahlil Gibran said, “Life without Freedom is like a body without a soul, and Freedom without Thought is like a confused spirit. . . . Life, Freedom and Thought are three-in-one, and are everlasting and shall never pass away.”
Most of you knows where you are going and how you are going to get there. What outsiders observe is not the full essence of your being. You are still building up your reserves by going to the well to draw up more. Creatively you are tapped out and will need the help of spiritual renewal. However, you are avoiding what it takes to slow down and let it happen. In a way this can work towards benefiting you. Posturing will not have any effect that is good. Besides, you have already tried too many avenues to get where you want and now you have reached a spot where there is ineffectual. Don’t be stubborn, sweet Aquarius. Keep your opinions to yourself. There is nothing to prove. Take care of your immediate concerns and the rest will come to you. Image is something to cultivate from the inside out. When you can believe in yourself, so will others. This week find water to sit near. Christopher McDowell references, “Ancient traditions have long associated holy wells and springs as very special places of the Goddess or anima mundi: symbolic of the Great Mother and associated with birth, the feminine principle, the universal womb, the prima materia, the waters of fertility and refreshment and the fountain of life. The dreaming sites, as they are called, have also been associated with visions, healing, and other paranormal experiences. In ancient Greece, for example, there were more than three-hundred medical centers placed at water sources, where patients experienced healing.”
A new identity for you is in the process of birthing. Right now it may just seem like trying to find your place or having some kind of say. You are taking your first step and there are more steps to come. You may feel shut off from new inspiration due to a lack of balance, but soon your confidence will grow. You will achieve success this week. Your choices will be influential and others will be inspired by your actions. Don’t let it go to your head. Take care to keep a balance when you are reaching this new level of character and it will help to win the hearts of many. Lao Tzu said,
“The best rulers are those whose existence is merely known by the people.
The next best are those who are loved and praised.
The next are those who are feared.
And the next are those who are despised.
It is only when one does not have enough faith in others that
others will have no faith in him.
The great rulers value their words highly.
They accomplish their task; they complete their work.
Nevertheless, their people say that they simply follow Nature.”
