Your Higher Self is present, activating your powers of reason and intellect. It asks you to develop clarity and objectivity when looking at your life, rather than interpreting events through the murky and distorted waters of emotion. Strive to see the reality of what happened in the past so you can acquire a more accurate understanding of what’s going on. You may notice things that make you uncomfortable or challenge your ethics. Ask your Higher Self to give you the courage to stand up for your truth and address difficult situations at their core, rather than distance yourself or pretend you don’t see the real problems because they make you uncomfortable. Like the child in the fairy tale “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” your Higher Self is motivating you to not only see life more deeply, but to also share your perceptions with those around you.

This is the time, for example, to address your unbalanced budget and look for ways to cut corners. It’s also the time to acknowledge your ever-expanding waistline and seek out what’s really eating at you. This is when you need to step away from your emotions and dispassionately study the problems at hand so that you can come to a solution without blame and projection. Ask yourself what the problem is, not who the problem is. Only then can you begin to find real solutions with productive outcomes. Your Higher Self is sharpening your perception and clarifying your view so that you can make important and necessary changes at this time. As Carl Jung once said, “When the diagnosis is correct, the healing begins.” And your Higher Self’s message is: “Look for the truth behind appearances.”

The door to your Inner Child is opening, and he/she walks through, bringing you the gift of intuition. You may not be entirely comfortable with this newfound source of insight and may not know exactly what to do with it; however, don’t toss it aside or try to analyze it to death. Instead, accept this gift and play with it. Apply your intuition to non threatening situations and learn how it works. Don’t try to control it because you can’t. It’s exciting and powerful and is to be respected and followed, not tamed.

Trust your Inner Child’s willingness to share its magic so that you may benefit. The message for you is: “Trust me.”

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?”
