Your Divine Inner-Child spirit is knocking at your door, inviting you to step away from a serious life filled with too much work and drudgery and allow yourself some well-deserved playtime. Your life is presently overcontrolled by others’ needs and much too burdened with responsibilities. Consequently, you’re losing touch with your inspiration and creativity.

Listen to your Inner Child. Take time to daydream, fantasize, visualize, wonder, and explore. Feed your Inner Child with art classes, theater tickets, concerts, and other types of recreational activities. If you don’t honor your Inner Child’s needs, she/he will get your attention by throwing one heck of a childish tantrum, manifesting in a chronic bad mood or a nasty depression. You need this magic right now. Your Inner Child’s message: “Come play with me.”

Your Nature Spirits, known as runners, are working to introduce you to a wonderful new partnership to fulfill your heart’s desire. Whether in the areas of business, friendship, or romantic love, these practical guides are leading you directly toward the appropriate person to best support your soul at this time. Follow your heart as they strive to connect you with the right associations. Be more open to others, especially those whom you meet by chance. Say hello to the new neighbor in your building, suggest having lunch with the intriguing woman who sat next to you at your last business luncheon, or strike up a conversation with the guy in front of you in the checkout line (even if it’s not your usual habit).

In reality, it’s not accidental that you suddenly find yourself attracted to certain people. Your runners placed you in their path so that you could meet. Invite these energetic Nature Spirits to continue to direct you to others who are significant for your soul path. Their message: “Relax. We will make all the necessary introductions you seek.”

Whether you call it a bad mood, a bad day, or even a bad life, a feeling of complete desolation and despair has you in its grip—all seems bleak. This isn’t to suggest that your feelings of hopelessness are without cause. Genuinely difficult situations may be causing true anxiety, but it’s more likely that your fears are exaggerating things way out of proportion.

Fortunately, your Nature Spirits are on hand, luring you out of your inner despair and rerouting your attention back to nature. They urge you to stop dwelling on problems for the time being and go outside. Breathe the air. Smell the grass. Take a walk. Notice the wind. Come back to Earth, back to the moment, back to the beauty and bounty your Divine Mother offers. If you’re feeling trapped in an emotional maze of fear and drama, your only way back to balance and clarity is to get grounded in the moment and return to the natural world. Let your Nature Spritslead you to Mother Earth, as she will calm and comfort your soul. The message for you is: “Get back to nature.”
