My child…not walking your true path weakens you… Ra-the sun god

Tests of skill, courage and self discovery is an integral part of your experiences over 2016 as you make choices, ideally, that can take you to new places and insights. It is not about showing others what you can do or have. It is about showing yourself to your own best advantage and thus creating an inner buzz of joy as you manifest your desires. Dig deeper in any area where you may not be doing your best. Do not listen to those who flatter, cajole or otherwise influence you in ways that can darken your path. Understand early that seeking approval from those outside of your own internal governance can only lead you astray. Be the vital force you know yourself to be deep down!

CANCER – The suppression of a person’s natural senses begins in childhood where their inner connection to natural law and the invisible world begins to fade. Even more detrimental is the environmental conditioning that is heaped upon one, invalidating much of the inner truth that is given at birth. Through following these rules and conditions that stem from faulty thinking and social misunderstanding a gradual sense of loss is experienced, often experienced as an inner emptiness or sadness. One becomes reliant on the outer trappings of life for security and thus loses the internal security that comes from being a part of life itself.

This is the key to self-sufficiency. This is the key to inner peace and security.
LEO – One of the blessings of being born is that you are born with a complete set of hidden invisible helpers which are created from cosmic intelligence and only require a certain level of innocence and humility be maintained.

It is a natural living gift that is available to all freely, providing it is not blocked or distorted by mistaken ideas and misinterpretations. Even simply knowing this can be freeing. At times when you may feel you are just treading water this wisdom can be a pearl of great price. Choose to no longer exalt the thinking part of you and merge more deeply with the true feeling part of you. This is your task in the months ahead. The feeling is core to you being alive, knowing the world through your senses, not your mind.
VIRGO – Goodness, kindness and sensitivity are your natural gifts. Step back from the mind wanting to criticize or judge these qualities and allow the more Piscean part of you to emerge. Pisces is the natural complement to Virgo and it lies dormant within you until you consciously allow its unified lovingness to emerge. Start by not measuring yourself to anything outside of you. Boost it by deliberately pivoting whenever you feel the critical part of you emerging. This part is only for the purpose of evaluating how you can improve anything. Cease beating yourself up for any reason for you are judging by false external standards that were taught to you by collective and mechanistic forces. Combine your ability to perceive and synthesize with your ability to just flow. Give up making plans. You are a living part of the cosmos…how can you view yourself as anything less?

Your counterpart, Aries, provides an example of the pioneering kind of spirit that is engaged in constant self discovery and its good to know that you have that deep within you as well. Pull out your sword of discernment and be fearless in cutting away anything that is false or no longer viable. If you are in conflict about something and it does not resolve, toss a coin.

There is just one thing that you need to be loyal to and that is your inner truth…take time to listen to it and act accordingly.

Take a look around the home and do some repair there as well. This is a period of improvement for you and it leaves no stone unturned. Take note of what you find that is useful or has been long forgotten. Eliminate the superfluous and refine as needed. Go beyond the outer motions of living and dig deeper.
AQUARIUS — The vision is of a person who is revealing new ideas to those who are listening. It is about being all of who you are and finding ways to creatively express it. Most people see the world in more or less straight lines. You do not. Truth never needs defending for it will resonate with those who can hear it. Wait for the right moments to reveal some of the things you have been thinking about. Seek to align in your own independent way with others who speak the same language. Celebrate your uniqueness by sharing it. Often people resign themselves to a humdrum life because “this is just the way it is.” This is a mistaken idea, another clever form of escapism that inhibits the very life blood of the individual who thinks it. There is always capacity for transformation and it always begins with desire followed by action and fortitude.
PISCES – There is a need to realize that even during the most trying of times there is help available. Take steps to shore up your resources.

Later this year you will encounter some crossroads that can be very important relative to the choices you make for your life direction. There has got to be some new ideas in there somewhere that can both reflect your developing talents as well as your acquired experience. Nothing warms like a fire that has been lit…light yours!
