Feeling Lost

Feeling Lost

The beauty of being lost is the same thing that makes it scary -- we must look within ourselves to find the way

When we are lost, we typically look at a map to figure out where we are and how to get to our chosen destination. This works well, assuming there is a map of the territory in which we find ourselves and we know our destination. However, this is not always the case. At this time in human history, we are all venturing into uncharted territory, whether we know it or not. And as individuals, we may find ourselves covering ground that our predecessors never even knew existed. When we look to them for guidance, they often come up short. Not knowing exactly where we are, we find ourselves unsure of which way to go, and eventually the uneasy feeling that we are lost presents itself.
 
The beauty of being lost is the same thing that makes it scary -- it asks us to look within ourselves to find the way. If we have no map, we must go on instinct, relying on our inner compass to show us which way to go. This can be scary because so much seems to be riding on it. We fear we might go too far in the wrong direction or become paralyzed and make no progress at all. Yet, this is the very challenge we need to develop our ability to trust ourselves. We are also learning to trust that the universe will support and guide us. We may believe this intellectually, but it is only through experience that it becomes knowledge of the heart. Learning to be okay with being lost and trusting that we will be guided, we begin our journey.
 
We can support ourselves by confirming that we don't need to know exactly where we are going in order to take our first steps. We are learning to feel our own way, rather than following an established path, and in doing so we learn to trust ourselves. It is this trust that connects us to the universe and reminds us that no matter how lost we feel as we journey, on the inner level we are already home.

Cancer Horoscope: Self-Assured In Relationships

Self-Assured In Relationships

April 30, 2021

A sense of assertiveness today may lead you to take the risk of asking for more from your relationships. When you come from a place of self-assuredness, you know that you deserve more and are willing to move on in order to receive more. So often the desire to be in a relationship makes us hide part of ourselves to be accepted by another. But it is only when we stand in the truth of who we are that we can attract the best relationships for us. So while it may seem like a risk to ask another to grow with you and join you in claiming the fullness of your true self, it is only an illusion. If you allow your partnership to limit your potential, then it is not fulfilling its purpose of supporting your ability to grow fully into the best you can become. By being self-assured and assertive, you know you are able to learn and grow from any circumstance or relationship, and you are ready to claim your good from them today.

Being assertive is having the strength to stand confidently in your truth while you ask for and claim all you deserve. And truly, each of us deserves the best, but so many of us settle for less. Experience may have taught us to accept certain limitations, but they are illusions. By embracing the fullness of your being today, your self-assuredness helps you see and attract into your life all you truly deserve.

Acting as a Guardian

Acting as a Guardian

To act as a guardian to somebody during a difficult time is a most beautiful gift of support.

One of the greatest gifts we can give another human being is to act as their guardian. Whether this gift is related to a specific situation or is representative of an ongoing commitment, we each benefit from the association. To protect someone is to walk with them in challenging times and see them through safely to the other side. In doing this, we grow with them. And those under our guardianship derive confidence from our support and assistance, enabling them to persevere through almost any conditions. 

There are many reasons we feel inspired to serve as guardians to those we care for. Sometimes just holding the space for somebody allows them to do what is necessary to grow or heal. We may simply want to see that our friend or loved one is taken care of and equipped to prevail over difficult circumstances. We may also sense that we are in possession of knowledge our loved ones are lacking yet need in their current stage of development. Our offer to serve as a guardian may also be both unsolicited and unrelated to any one situation. Instead of helping someone we care about cope with a specific challenge, we may find ourselves providing them with a more general form of emotional sustenance that prepares and strengthens them for challenges yet to come. 

Our ability to empathize with those under our guardianship is our greatest asset because our comprehension of their needs allows us to determine how we can best serve them. Even when this comprehension is limited, however, the loving intentions with which we enter into our role as guardian ensure that our care and protection help others grow as individuals while living their lives with grace.

Cancer Horoscope: Easy Going

Easy Going

April 29, 2021

You may be in an easygoing, agreeable mood today as you go with the flow of whatever is presented. This can help you get through the day free from stress, and you may even notice you've accomplished more than you normally would have. It can be challenging to balance all that we want to do with being relaxed and easygoing. It requires us to remember that we are not in full control, but have to work with the universe to create our lives. We want to set goals and work toward them, but at the same time not be overly attached to the outcome. Today, this may come naturally and effortlessly, making for pleasant experiences.

Being flexible and relaxed is something we can practice at any time. A simple deep breath can bring us back to center, allowing us to start again. We can look out of a window or go outside to get in touch with the rhythm of nature. Our own inner rhythm can then slow to match the swaying of the trees, the cadence of bird songs, or the falling of leaves or snow. When an opportunity comes for unplanned fun, we can consider our current state of balance, and accept it as we would accept a gift. By paying attention to the positive feelings that come from being amenable and easygoing, we can learn to recreate them in times of stress. But today, they are ours to enjoy.
