What a powerful day today! Today is a day where emotionally you will have to face your fears and take action in your life. Where have you been holding yourself back from having the life you want because you’ve been afraid?
Today the moon is now in Cancer and it’s going to make a square to Jupiter and Mars in Aries. So, it’s a day where you will need to take a big leap, emotionally, towards the things you want in life and the environment that you want. Your self-care needs to be action-oriented. Know your value and invest in what you know you want for yourself.
Remember yesterday how I talked about the life you ordered from the Universe? Well, the order is almost up, so it’s time to prepare yourself and bolster your courage emotionally so that when it comes, you can actually enjoy it instead of stopping yourself from accepting what you asked for! It will not be in your favor to reject your order! Get prepared to accept it—be prepared for the change you desire.
Last year, I asked the Universe to provide a house that my family and I could buy—I didn’t know how we would do it, because we had no money for the purchase of a house, but all the planets were direct and it was Aries season at the time and the astrology was so clearly in my favor that I knew it was time to make the order, make my wish…
I kid you not, within a month we had bought the house we are now in, and one of the craziest things I realized, is that this house is literally just like the house we were in when I made the request to the Universe. I remember thinking to myself that I just needed basically the same house just bigger, on enough land to have a big garden and a basement. The house we bought has a very close layout to the one we moved out of, it’s spooky, is on an acre and a half, and has a full basement! And the Universe gave us a rent-to-own situation so we didn’t get put out financially! Amazing!
But, if I had not prepared myself for the reality of my order/wish being fulfilled it could’ve ended up differently. I took action—I started looking for the house even though we didn’t have the money because I knew it was time and the right situation was out there for us! If I had doubted the astrology and not started house hunting, we WOULDN’T HAVE FOUND OUR HOUSE!
It’s about TAKING ACTION on your dreams right now and facing your fears of change. It is always a little uncomfortable when we make a big change in our lives, but after the initial shock is over, we are able to relax in our new environment, like jumping into a cold pool! At first, the shock of the water makes goosebumps appear all over your skin and it feels invigorating and you feel so alive! Then after a while, your skin gets used to the cold water and it actually starts to feel kind of warm and you become more comfortable.
This is another powerful moment in Astrology and it’s going to get even more powerful Friday morning when Mercury goes direct and the moon is still in Cancer. The moon won’t move into Leo until the afternoon on Friday, so today and tomorrow, do whatever necessary self-care you need to do to feel your best, look your best, and dress in your best “bathing suit” or “swim trunks” because your order is coming up and it’s going to be your turn to jump into the pool you’ve been wanting to swim in!!
*Let’s see what the cards have to say about the energy of today:
Son of Cups
This young man is sitting on the water, legs crossed, playing his flute and the seagulls are being drawn to him, they want to be near him because he seems peaceful, content, and not a threat. The flowers in this card look lovely and after looking them up, I found out they are called Sacred Datura, Jimson weed, or thorn-Apple, and are poisonous, but have hallucinogenic properties and have been used by natives for spiritual purposes. He floats on the water in the air, bridging the two elements—air: intellect, and water: emotions.
What this card is saying to me is that today is a day to bring together, in perfect peaceful harmony, that which is in your mind; your thoughts; your intellect with that which is in your heart; your emotions. Traditionally, the Son of Cups is known as the Knight of Cups and is the card representing lovers and love coming into your life, bearing gifts. The gifts that this card shows are artistic in nature, music, flowers, and the ability to sit on top of the water in perfect stillness, and harmony…these are gifts that you bring to yourself, through self-love.
So, love yourself today! Care for yourself today the way you would care for a lover, someone you loved very much. I truly feel that that is the true meaning of the words, “self-care.” We often think of them as some sort of spa-like treatment, but that isn’t it.
Self-care means to speak to yourself lovingly and take care of yourself like you would take care of someone you truly loved and wanted the best for, like a lover, a child, or a parent. You can put on a face mask and call it, “self-care” and still be beating yourself up inside your head with negative self-talk, but that is NOT SELF-CARE! That is SELF-HARM!
Be your best caregiver today, and every day! To truly love yourself is to take the best care of yourself! Get dressed in the morning, wash your face, and brush your teeth! Make yourself a healthy breakfast. Take yourself outside for an invigorating walk and breath in the fresh air! These are all acts of love we happily do for someone in our care, but often neglect for ourselves! Don’t! Take action today and take the best care of yourself that you know how to do.
Until tomorrow,
