Your mind is where your power is…

The ability to change your mind, to focus on a goal, to set forth a plan…that’s where your power lies. And it’s time you recognize that and start utilizing it.

People like to play victim and they get stuck thinking all these things are happening to them. Well, flip that narrative and start thinking that things are happening for you. Then use your mind to figure out what you’re going to do about it.

Be intentional with your thoughts. Be intentional with your behavior and actions. Set your mind on a goal or objective for yourself and keep it fixed and constant. Change and shift and alter plans to get there. You owe that to yourself.

Gift yourself peace…

Being peaceful and extending peace to others is needed in the world today. Really needed. But it has to start with you first. Meaning, you have to grant yourself peace before you can give it to others.

You have to forgive yourself for bad decisions or behaviors in the past. You have to admit to failure and be willing to learn from it instead of just wallowing in the feeling of being unsuccessful. You have to be okay with having made some people unhappy.

You have to first be at peace within and grant yourself peace before you can extend it to anyone else. You deserve it.

Working with the wind…

Wind. The breeze. The movement of air outside. You can work with this element in your magical life.

You can scatter the remains of spell workings with the wind. Provided it’s just some random ashes or something small. You don’t want to litter trash in the wind. You can also use wind to bring to you change.

You can sit or stand outside on a windy day (so the wind is coming towards you, not at your back) and visualize what you want coming towards you. Rushing towards you. Wealth, love, ideas, clients/customers, peace and calm, good health…whatever it is.

Visualize the wind bringing it all towards you. And give thanks to the universe for its gifts.

The problem with a lot of Oracle decks…

A lot of Oracle decks can be super positive. And happy. And optimistic. There aren’t any challenging cards. Or cards that might suggest tension, even.

As much as I wish that’s how life was and I wish every answer to every question would have a positive, happy answer, it’s not realistic.

There are some Oracle decks that have challenging cards and I encourage you to read with those. If you want an objective reading, that’s the only way to do it. One of my favorite decks to work with is the Wisdom of the Oracle. By Collette Baron-Reid. Positive and happy? Yes. Not also with challenge and tension. Just like life.

People hear what they want to hear…

Have you ever told someone something…pretty direct, very clear. And they still found a way to NOT hear what you said? They turned it around, or just completely omitted parts?

People only hear what they want to hear. You can call it selective listening or whatever you want. But a lot of people (not all) get so set on what they want from you, that it doesn’t matter what you tell them. Or how you tell them. Or how many times you tell them.

They only hear what fits into their narrative.

As soon as you suspect this is happening, reconsider the relationship. This is unhealthy and it can even be dangerous. You deserve someone who hears you. Who really hears you. Even when you are saying things they wish you weren’t saying. You deserve someone who really listens to what you’re saying.

Mercury retrograde this month

Happy September! My birthday is in October so I like this time of year. The cooling down, the crunchy leaves, sweater-weather.

Right now the sun is in Virgo. So if you haven’t cleaned and organized your closets and desk drawers, there’s still time. The sun will move into Libra around October 22 or so. I’ll speak more on that later.

But what’s also taking place now is the shadow period of Mercury retrograde. The retrograde will start in earnest on September 9 and last through October 2/3. This “lead up” shadow phase can give you an idea of what the retrograde may bring for you.

I’ll get more into the retrograde closer to September 9. But now is a good time to buy whatever expensive things you need to buy, sign contracts, secure your lines of communication. Mercury retrograde scan wreck havoc on all these things (and more).

Month in review…

Another month ending. And one about to begin. What did you learn? What did you DO (not just think about) to move your dreams forward?

Did you establish a new goal for yourself? Or push the boundary a little to force yourself to work/try harder?

Did you take the time to love yourself like you expect others to love you? Did you spend time with yourself and enjoy it…like you expect others to spend and enjoy with you? If you answered now, why not?

Did you read anything this month? Start a new book? Finish one? Maybe started writing your own?

You can’t change what you did or didn’t do this month. But you can set new goals for yourself for next month. Level up…

Pie chart of your life

I think everybody should look at their life as a pie chart. Slices for areas. Some maybe bigger than others. Some merely slivers. And the sizes will change at different points in your life. But you want there to be a lot of slices. Not too many little slivers…but you don’t want it divided into thirds, either. Work. Family. Money. That’s….not really diversified.

Think about what your pie chart looks like right now. Are all the areas of your life there? Which pieces are bigger? Why are they bigger? What slices are missing completely?

Is there a slice for religion or spirituality? Exercise or physical activity? Creativity or artistic pursuits?

At certain times of the year, certain slices get bigger. When I’m training for the marathon, the running/swimming/exercise slice gets bigger, for example. And certain years have had other areas be more prominent, too.

This is an interesting question to ask someone. To ask them to divide up their life into a pie chart for you. You’ll learn what they value by what’s included. And you’ll learn what areas they don’t value or completely neglect by what’s missing. It will reveal more than you know…

Don’t fear the shadows

Those areas of yourself or of your life that you aren’t proud of…that have been laughed at or criticized, that you wish away at times…don’t fear them. Learn from them.

We all have these aspects of ourselves. Maybe you’ve buried yours down for years. Or maybe you’re constantly reminded of them. Whichever it is for you, you can learn from these things. You can decide how to change them. You can decide what lesson they tried to teach you. You can decide to never let them see the light of day again (if it was a behavior you don’t want to repeat).

But don’t fear them. Learn from them. Accept that you have them, thank them for their service…and learn from them. Only then will you grow into a better version of yourself…

Controlling people never works…

If you think you can control someone…you’re setting yourself up for some tough life lessons. You can’t. But more than that, you shouldn’t want to.

People often try to do this when they feel out of control. And when they lack the ability to deal with things unexpected. So if they can control their environment and the people in it, then they can stay comfortable. They won’t have to change or grow or evolve.

The one constant thing in life is change. Thinking you can control your environment and other people is a waste of your time and energy. It’s also a sign (in my opinion) of emotional immaturity. Rise above that. Learn to flow with change. Learn to grow from it. And if you insist on controlling anything….work on controlling yourself. Your own choices and decisions.
