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.”

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?”

You’re beginning to stride into your purpose. Work is no longer a struggle, and your Master Teacher is guiding you along the way. The more aligned you become with your life’s proper path, the more your days will flow with ease. You’ll lose track of all barriers as you go with the flow and throw your heart and soul into your efforts. Your dedication will pay off in the long run, but even this isn’t important; your efforts are their own reward.

Doing what you love so well and so faithfully fulfills you. Your challenge is to resist the temptation to push yourself to exhaustion. Remain measured and steady, and don’t overlook the importance of taking a day of rest at least once a week. Your Master Teacher is pleased with your progress, but reminds you that even though you may love your work and feel that you could work forever, your body and mind do get fatigued. Develop the wisdom to know when to step away and refresh your soul. Your Master Teacher’s message: “Pace yourself.”
