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.”

Your Divine Helpers are here, advising you that while it’s essential that you do everything in your power to fulfill your goals, it’s equally important to know when to back off and allow the Universe to work its magic on your behalf. You’ve done enough. Allow these beautiful and highly competent guides to step in and take over. Your enthusiasm is your gift, but unless it’s properly contained, it can undermine your best intentions.

Your Divine Helpers gently remind you that just as plants need water to grow, too much will drown their ability to blossom. The same principle applies to your efforts. Overdoing is fear in disguise; do not allow it to keep you in the manic mode. Give yourself more breathing space. Trust that your Divine Helpers are on the job overseeing your success so you can rest. You need to let go and turn responsibilities over to others. Just because you need rest doesn’t mean that they do. Ask your Divine Helpers for assistance in this; they know better than you what you need right now. Ease up and let them work their miracles. Their message: “Rest.”

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?”
