You’re at risk of falling under the spell of self-criticism because of poor choices or learned behavior, and this is bringing on the energy of shame. You can always tell when this soul-deadening vibration is present because it causes you to unconsciously pull back from others (and the loving support of the Universe) and become isolated. It’s quite possible at this time to believe that the world is against you, making you want to hide, withdraw, or push it away. Nothing could be further from the truth! You are your own worst enemy at this time, as the Universe never stops loving or supporting you. Nor have the people around you stopped loving you, even if you’ve made terrible mistakes . . . after all, we’re all guilty of this at times.

Your Divine Healers surround you, holding you in affection and unconditional love as you struggle to regain your self-esteem. They ask you to remember that being here on Earth is like being in a classroom—you’re here to progress, and you’ll make many mistakes along the way. That’s part of your learning process and necessary for your growth.

Your Divine Healers ask you to open your heart and forgive your mistakes—there’s no mistake too great nor any error so grave that it can’t be forgiven. Pray for them to help you rise above your self-criticism and reenter the flow of the Universe. Make an effort to see yourself with the same love that they see you with. Stop judging yourself. Make amends and apologies where necessary, and move on. Their message to you: “Live and learn.”

You’re entering a period of great expansion and celebration. Your Joy Guides are at hand, ushering you into a season of abundance, celebration, and hospitality. You’re loved, accepted, and trusted by those around you. This is a time when life gives back to you. You may become engaged, get married, receive a promotion, land a deal, or just get a long-awaited lucky break. Whatever you desire, your Joy Guides are urging you to prepare for, because it’s surely coming.

Realize that as life’s tides turn your way, the soon-to-become-realized positive flow of events isn’t just a fluke or an accident or just the luck of the draw. Rather, it’s the natural outcome of your unwavering efforts, and commitment to your dreams and goals. Your Joy Guides’ message: “Plan for the party.” You’ll soon have reason to celebrate.

Sometimes life gives you lemons. But not to worry. Your Creativity Guides are on hand, helping you transform your lemons into lemonade. No matter who you are or what circumstances you’ve inherited, life is always a blend of both the positive and the negative. Your Creativity Guides urge you to be grateful for the pluses of your life and to be creative with the negatives. They’ll help you use your inventiveness to transform any adverse situation into one for the better. So, rather than dwell on your lousy childhood, true though it may have been, appreciate the courage it developed in you and use it to change the unsupportive past into a self-reliant present. Rather than endure an unfulfilling job, be resourceful and start the business you’ve dreamed of for years.

This is not to deny the pain in your life, but to use it as an incentive to move to higher ground. Allow your Creativity Guides to serve you; they’re not afraid of the lemons you encounter in life. Gather their juice as fuel to invent much better circumstances, and ask them for inspiration and ideas. They have plenty to share. Their message: “When you get lemons, make lemonade.”
