The end of a month…

The end of a month is an ideal time for a review. I may have mentioned that I set some goals for myself this year. I would read a book a month. And every month I would do something I’ve never done before. Or go somewhere I’ve never been before. It’s my aggressive approach to learning something new every month (you always learn something by reading) and to getting out of my comfort zone.

Did you learn anything this month? Did you do a new thing? Visit a new place? And by learn anything new, it can be something about yourself. A new talent you didn’t realize you had. Or realizing a fault or deficiency you want to work on.

Tomorrow is a new month. A new opportunity to learn, to grow, to evolve. It’s not always fun. But I can guarantee that it will be rewarding. Try to come up with a new thing to learn. Or something to work on. You won’t ever regret grown.

How to reclaim your power…

You do it by putting yourself first. By making yourself a priority. By making sure your needs and wants are met.

If you haven’t ever done this before, expect resistance. Other people probably liked you always putting yourself last. Because they came first. So this reversal won’t sit well with them.

That’s okay. Put yourself first anyway. You may yet. You count. Your wants and needs are important and valid. Life is too short to be shorting yourself for the sake of acceptance of others. You deserve a life of happiness, too.

When Saturn stations direct…

Right now, Saturn is retrograde. He will stay that way until October. It’s as if the teacher has left the classroom, and told the class to stay in their seats and do some class work until she returns.

I won’t go into my own personal views of what is happening in the United States right now with laws. But it will be interesting to see how this is all handled when Saturn stations direct in October.

It feels to me like things will be corrected. Made right. Because even though Saturn is about restriction and life lessons and responsibility, it’s not without purpose. It’s not restriction to control or to be used against people. It’s to serve a purpose. I fear we are failing to see that. But I also think Saturn (Lord of Karma) will right what has been wronged later this year. We’ll have to see how that works out.

The importance of emotional maturity…

It has absolutely nothing to do with chronological age. And it can’t really be taught. If anything, it is like wisdom. You gain it through experience. And the experiences usually come in the form of challenging life lessons.

Your ability to handle conflict, criticism, defeat and loss will likely translate into emotional maturity. If you refuse to learn lessons, accept defeat, accept and handle criticism, it will only result in stunted emotional maturity.

This will later affect every relationship you enter into. And not just romantic ones. So you aren’t just quietly suffering alone. Far from it. Other people who you engage with will suffer, too. Because you refused to accept and learn hard life lessons.

And they will keep repeating. You will really serve yourself best by being able to admit when you are wrong. Or when you could have handled a situation better. Differently. Until you are able to do that…your relationships will be unfulfilling and you will hurt others.

The Devil (tarot card)…

It is what controls you. It is vice. It can be addiction. It can be a bad habit. It can be a person you can’t seem to stay away from.

When this card presents it is telling you that this devil is in control. Not you. And you want it to be the other way around.

We all have a Devil in our lives. Most of us have more than one. You can probably list a few bad habits you’d like to change. So you aren’t weak or less than for having a bad habit. You aren’t weak or less than for fighting the fight your whole life…trying to conquer it.

Keep at it. The challenges given to you in this life were given to you for a reason. There’s a lesson there. And they were given to you because you are strong enough to handle them.

Use your weekend well…

The weekend. Time to sleep in. Get some things around the house done. Run errands. Maybe catch up with friends.

But the other thing you can do with your weekend is to work towards your goals, whatever they may be. You can use the extra time to read up on things that interest you. Or…just read in general. You can use it to formulate a plan for yourself. A timeline.

It doesn’t have to be the entire weekend. You can start with 30 minutes just on Saturday or Sunday. Then maybe 30 minutes both days. And if this new endeavor or goal is something you are passionate about…you will genuinely want to spend hours on it. Because it drives you and motivates you. And genuinely excites you.

Use your time well. We all have the same 24 hours in a day. Make them count.

The struggle is a blessing…

You may not see it now. Especially if you are in the middle of it all. The pain and frustration and confusion. But later, you will see that it’s a blessing.

Without that resistance, you would have never grown stronger. That’s how muscles grow. With heavier and heavier weight. If you keep listing the same 5 pounds…you aren’t going to see any muscle growth. It needs to be hard so you grow.

And the other thing is that you can use your struggle (and your blessing) to help others. Your story can inspire others. It can let them know that if you made it through…so can they.

So don’t run from the struggle. You don’t have to like it. Or even welcome it. It will come no matter what you do. Just accept it. And know that it’s there to make you stronger and better.

Stop looking back…

You’ve probably heard the saying, your past has nothing new to say. Or, your past doesn’t need you, your future does.

It’s true. Whatever is in the past…leave it there. You can’t change it. You can’t erase it. But you do have power over your future.

So ask yourself what you want for yourself going forward. Set goals. Have dreams. Aspire to be more or have more. And then put a plan in place to make it happen.

Forget about what worked or didn’t work before. This is a new attempt. A fresh attempt. Your future self needs your focus and your determination.

Be an independent thinker…

If you want to be successful in any area of life, you have to learn to be an independent thinker. You have to learn to think for yourself.

It’s okay to get other opinions. Or to listen to what other people have to say or suggest. But ultimately, you get to decide what happens next. What your next step is.

This will likely come with criticism. And with people making fun of you or trying to discredit your plans and ideas. It’s because they wish they were strong enough to think for themselves like you. They wish they could shed the insecurity they’ve been carrying for years and just go after life like you.

Let them talk. Just keep it moving forward.

Use your non-dominant hand…

A simple thing you can do to create neural pathways in your brain is to start doing things with your non-dominant hand.

From a metaphysical perspective, your right hand is the hand you command with. What you use to put energy out into the world. Your left hand is the hand you receive with. It’s the side of intuition.

If you’re interested in encouraging intuition, start using your left hand. Be smart about it. Don’t start off lighting candles with your left hand. But…small things. Instead of reaching for something on a shelf with your right hand, reach for it with your left.

If you’re a reader yourself, turn the cards with your left hand. Cut the tarot deck with your left hand. You might be surprised at how your intuition becomes more clear.
