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?”

The Universe is constantly showering you with gifts. The problem arises when so many of these Divine offerings go unnoticed and are therefore unaccepted. Your Joy Guides are on hand, though, acting as messengers to help correct this problem. They ask you to start counting your blessings, day after day, taking care not to miss any or take them for granted.

Your Joy Guides delight in showering you with gifts, and encourage you to expand your heart’s capacity to receive all that they have to offer. Start each morning by asking them to surprise you with something wonderful during the day; then, just before going to bed, list all the wonderful things they’ve bestowed upon you. See how the list grows longer and longer each day. Their only request is that you acknowledge these offerings and thank the Divine Mother and Father God for their endless generosity. The Joy Guides’ message: “Open your heart, and expect good things to come.”

Your desire to seek solitude is appropriate at this time. You’re being counseled by your Higher Self to retreat, and to renew your soul through quiet contemplation. Your nervous system has been overstimulated, and you can’t absorb any more input from the outer world. Step away and give yourself the necessary peace and time alone you require to revitalize your system. In doing so, you’ll begin to sense, feel, and even hear the voice of your Higher Self, but only when you step into more natural surroundings.

Reconnect with nature in whatever way is practical, given your circumstances. Fully open your heart to your Higher Self, even if you fear that you can’t make contact. You are making contact. Furthermore, your Higher Self asks you to take your time when contemplating your circumstances and considering your options. Resist the temptation to yield to any sense of urgency. There’s no emergency. Your true direction will make itself known if you’re patient. Your Higher Self also alerts you to the fact that not all the necessary pieces of information to make the best decisions may be apparent yet. Your Higher Self wisely counsels that sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is do nothing. The message: “Be quiet and wait.”
