A Message from Our Planetary Neighbors

Knowledge

A celestial event is in store for the planet on April 14 through the 16th.  Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will line up and be visible in the southeastern sky early in the morning.

In Astrology:  
Mars encourages us to face our challenges and grow in confidence
Jupiter is the planet of expansion (wealth, awareness and knowledge)
Saturn is the planet of limitations, learning discipline and responsibility

The next time this line up will occur is in 2022

Is It Okay to Give Up?

-Yes.  We all do at some point in our lives and it (more than likely ) may be more than once.  Then the question is do we want to keep striving forward or are we just way too beat up and tired to even try anymore?  The answer is, it's up to us and there's no shame whether it's a yes or a no.

What can I tell you about this thing called Life?  Well, the first thing that comes to mind is the word Enigma.  Enigma means:  Something that baffles understanding and cannot be explained.  (The Free Dictionary).

Okay, I think we can all agree that Life is unpredictable, a roller coaster, complicated, complex, difficult, baffling, and a whole host of other things yet we're all right smack dab in the middle of it.  So, do we continue to ignore it or start engaging with it because that's what Life wants you to do.   

One thing we need, in order to move forward, is a plan.   I cannot emphasize this enough.

When we're haphazard in our approach to things and then it blows up in our faces, we really can't complain or blame others.  Leaving things to chance means that things will start to unravel and take on a life of their own and we will find, regrettably, that many will not be to our liking.     

A bunch of you just graduated from high school.  Congratulations on your accomplishment!  Now what?  Where do you go from here?  Now is a good time to do an assessment of yourselves and put a plan together.  Are you off to college or a job or a technical school or are you just hanging out?

What, exactly, do you plan to do with the rest of your life?  

Will you continue to be just an observer, sitting on the sidelines, or decide that Life needs your super special qualifications and jump in with both feet?

Will you be in control of your life or continue to leave it up to chance?  

Many of you have a passion for something and know where you're going, what you want to do.  Many of you are still trying to figure out where you fit in.  Each one of us is unique and equipped with our own timetable.

In some cases it takes Humpty Dumpty to fall off the wall in order to put all the pieces back together. 

In either case remember this, you are not a throw away, no matter what you've been through, no matter how many stupid things you did.   

You are a valuable piece of the puzzle and once you connect with your purpose the pieces will come together and nothing will stop you.

Remember, you're not here by chance but on purpose so get going. 

So get going. 

I believe in you.

Knot Me!

Do you follow through with things?  Another definition for follow though is bringing things to completion.  This is an important precursor to learning self discipline and success in life and starts at a young age.  If your mother asks you to take out the garbage, do you?  Or, are you resentful and resort to making excuses like, "I'll get around to it" and then forget to do what was asked of you?   

What about making your bed?  Do you get up in the morning leaving it in a disheveled mess or do you take the time to straighten it out? 


How do you feel about showing up on time to class or an appointment?  Is this important to you?  --It should be. 

Humans are three things, body, mind and spirit.  In society today these are treated as separate parts of us but the truth is the three are intuitively interconnected.

Our mission is to get all three of them to talk to one another and then learn to work together and harmonize in order for us to achieve success in life.  

When we realize this, it is the beginning of a turning point in our lives.

The trouble is most of us if not all of us put this discipline off (myself included) and then are faced with untying the knot we've made of our lives.    

How much easier and simpler if we just listened to the advice given in the beginning which helps start us off on the right foot. 

It's not too late to make a change.  If what I've posted here hits home then that's good as the message has successfully resonated with you.
