The Divine Goddess smiles upon you, urging you to step into her luscious and beautiful garden and drink from her well of vitality and joy. Relax, have fun, and allow the good times to roll. Life is to be enjoyed, not endured. Whether it’s a fun day at the beach or a rousing sexual romp with your lover, the Divine Goddess reminds you that there’s nothing holy, superior, or righteous in resisting pleasure or hiding your beauty. She has stepped into your life to remedy the sad fact that you’re not taking joy in much of anything of late and have lost touch with your beauty. Life is at risk of becoming too black and white and shades of gray, and you’re missing color.

She sweetly advises you not to postpone your rewards until you’re in heaven—instead, she encourages you to enjoy a little heaven on Earth. Indulge your soul in some delicious food, good music, close friends, and playful fun. Use her sparkle to inspire you to embellish your environment. Redecorate: Add a splash of color to your beige walls, bring in fresh flowers, and make yourself beautiful as well. Perhaps try a new hairstyle, dab on sexy cologne, buy new clothes— overall, accept yourself as a beautiful human being.

This is a harvest, a time of abundance and flow. Share your beauty with others, be generous, and don’t fret about overindulging or getting carried away. Get used to the beautiful life, and consider it your birthright to dance in the Divine Goddess’s garden. Her question to you: “How good can you stand it?”

Your Higher Self is present, activating your powers of reason and intellect. It asks you to develop clarity and objectivity when looking at your life, rather than interpreting events through the murky and distorted waters of emotion. Strive to see the reality of what happened in the past so you can acquire a more accurate understanding of what’s going on. You may notice things that make you uncomfortable or challenge your ethics. Ask your Higher Self to give you the courage to stand up for your truth and address difficult situations at their core, rather than distance yourself or pretend you don’t see the real problems because they make you uncomfortable. Like the child in the fairy tale “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” your Higher Self is motivating you to not only see life more deeply, but to also share your perceptions with those around you.

This is the time, for example, to address your unbalanced budget and look for ways to cut corners. It’s also the time to acknowledge your ever-expanding waistline and seek out what’s really eating at you. This is when you need to step away from your emotions and dispassionately study the problems at hand so that you can come to a solution without blame and projection. Ask yourself what the problem is, not who the problem is. Only then can you begin to find real solutions with productive outcomes. Your Higher Self is sharpening your perception and clarifying your view so that you can make important and necessary changes at this time. As Carl Jung once said, “When the diagnosis is correct, the healing begins.” And your Higher Self’s message is: “Look for the truth behind appearances.”

Your Guardian Angels are present, alerting you to the fact that all isn’t as it appears; something is off and you may be in danger. Pay close attention to what’s going on around you, as well as what’s going on within you. You’ll soon notice that bad vibes are in the air. They signal that someone is potentially able to exploit or manipulate you in some way, so be on the alert, and trust your vibes if things don’t feel right. “It’s hard to believe,” you say. “That can’t be!” But your Guardian Angels remind you that treachery and deceit are subtle and difficult to see. After all, no one wants to believe that someone might hurt them.

Sometimes it’s a deliberate attempt to injure, but more often it’s an act of self-protection at your expense. It may show up in your co-worker’s failure to inform you that the project deadline has changed, or your mother withholding the fact that your father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, or even your own neglect to tell your mate that you’ve overspent this month and can’t pay the bills.

Deceit and manipulation need not be maliciously intended to occur or to be damaging. Often it’s just the result of thoughtlessness or fear. Your Guardian Angels urge you to trust your vibes completely when it comes to your suspicions of others. Also, equally scrutinize your own deceptions. Either case leads to dead ends and disappointing outcomes. Ask your Guardian Angels to protect you from the deceit of others and your own temptation to deceive. Have the courage and integrity to be honest. Your Guardian Angels’ message: “We will watch over you.”
