Your Creativity Guides are advising you that there’s no way to avoid risk if you wish to live a creative life. Stop worrying about making right and wrong choices, and view all of them as creative opportunities. Be glad you have the freedom to make choices at all, and realize that no matter what you choose, you’ll create something. If you don’t like the result, then simply go back to the drawing board and make new and, hopefully, better choices.

Your Creativity Guides remind you not to look at life in terms of black and white, me against you, all or nothing. You’re a creative spirit regardless of what else is going on in your life. Assess your creations with appreciation and respect. Whether good, bad, or indifferent, they all reflect your creativity. Celebrate everything you enjoy, and don’t fret over the rest. See your less desirable creations as interesting rough drafts, and follow your Creativity Guides’ advice: “Go back to the drawing board.”

You’re in the delicate process of learning how to properly balance the flow of give-and-take in your personal relationships, and it’s time to evaluate how you’re doing. Are you giving too much, leaving you resentful and angry? Or are you withholding when you could give more, leaving you feeling guilty and defensive? Your Divine Teachers can help you learn how to better align your relationships so that you neither give nor take too much as a means of controlling others. They counsel you to be honest about your motivations when dealing with others; you know in your heart of hearts what drives your interest in them.

Do you give with a secret agenda of “you owe me”? Do you create dependency in and control over others with your kindness? Or do you withhold for fear that you might be taken advantage of, keeping people guessing about your motives and your intentions? Your Divine Teachers are on hand to help you answer these questions. They lovingly assure you that relationships are the most difficult of all spiritual classrooms, and the lessons of proper give-and-take are the most difficult of skills to learn.

Have compassion for yourself as you seek balance with others. Ask your Divine Teachers to help you become more aware of how you give and receive in all relationships, not just the romantic kind. Their message to you: “There’s no difference between giving and receiving love.”

With Venus as your Divine mentor, you’ll be guided to the right place at the right time and blessed with the right ideas to create a successful outcome for all.
