  | | The Message of Pain |
When we feel pain, our first impulse is often to eradicate it with medication. This is an understandable response, but sometimes in our hurry to get rid of pain, we forget that it is the body's way of letting us know that it needs our attention. A headache can inform us that we're hungry or stressed just as a sore throat might be telling us that we need to rest our voice. If we override these messages instead of respond to them, we risk worsening our condition. In addition, we create a feeling of disconnectedness between our minds and our bodies.
Physical pain is not the only kind of pain that lets us know our attention is needed. Emotional pain provides us with valuable information about the state of our psyche, letting us know that we have been affected by something and that we would do well to focus our awareness inward. Just as we tend to a cut on our arm by cleaning and bandaging it, we treat a broken heart by surrounding ourselves with love and support. In both cases, if we listen to our pain we will know what to do to heal ourselves. It's natural to want to resist pain, but once we understand that it is here to give us valuable information, we can relax a bit more, and take a moment to listen before we reach for medication. Sometimes this is enough to noticeably reduce the pain, because its message has been heard. Perhaps we seek to medicate pain because we fear that if we don't, it will never go away. It can be empowering to realize that, at least some of the time, it is just a matter of listening and responding.
The next time you feel pain, either physical or emotional, you might want to try listening to your own intuition about how to relieve your pain. Maybe taking a few deep breaths will put an end to that headache. Perhaps writing in your journal about hurt feelings will ease your heart. Ultimately, the message of pain is all about healing. |

 | | Growth In Dialogue | Cancer Horoscope November 30, 2021 Feelings of curiosity can drive you to strike up conversations today with people in your professional sphere as well as other individuals you encounter as you address your personal obligations. You are likely quite curious as to how others think and feel, and wholly unafraid to express your inquisitive mood. The questions you ask others can help you better understand how people from backgrounds that differ from your own see the world and make the most of life. Your innocent and friendly interest can inspire people to open up to you and share aspects of their opinions and beliefs they might otherwise keep to themselves. If you give your curiosity free reign today, you will likely learn much about the diversity of human society and culture.
The more time we devote to learning about the individuals we encounter throughout our lives, the more open-minded and worldly we become. Every person on earth hails from a unique background and has their own take on the proper way to live life, so we can learn much about the wide variety of beliefs and opinions embraced by humanity by simply engaging others in friendly conversation. It is through dialogue that we are exposed to new ideas, and while we may not choose to incorporate these ideas into our own lives, these foreign notions nonetheless expand our horizons. Through the exchange of thoughts and feelings, we can acknowledge and accept a wide variety of worldviews. As you ask others about their lives today, you will come to see humanity's diversity in a newly positive light.

 | | A Self-Healing Day |
Human beings carry within themselves the seed of healing. Our choices affect us more than we realize, and it is because of this that we tend to place responsibility for our wellness in the hands of others. As beneficial as regular visits to a healer can be, we have the power to heal ourselves at will. When we dedicate a day to the pursuit of wellness, we can relax and renew ourselves in a nourishing and comfortable environment. A sincere desire to open ourselves to the highest realities of our physical and spiritual selves is the key to self-healing so that healing energy can flow into us unimpeded.
A self-healing day should address the vital needs of the self as a whole while directing healing energy where it is needed most. Solitude is an important part of the process as is the ability to take refuge in a space that is both beautiful and peaceful. Start your healing day by setting the intention that you are dedicating this time to healing yourself. Flowers, candlelight, incense, and music can guide our focus toward a more tranquil state. For a more intense session, try listening to music through headphones since tuning out can help you tune in. It is up to us to decide what we need to do to cultivate wellness in our lives. For some, it may be time spent in reflection. Others will turn to calming activities that help them remember their purpose, such as journal writing, being in nature, or studying. Our healing may even take a more direct form as we use color, sound, or crystals to balance and ground ourselves.
Ultimately, your wholesome intentions transform what might otherwise be a simple day of rest into a day of healing. Grant yourself permission to relax and savor the stillness. If you attune yourself to the calm around you, worldly distractions will be minimized and the unadulterated flow of your consciousness will reestablish itself in the forefront of your mind. The needs of the body, the heart, and the soul will then be revealed to you, empowering you to tap into the essential healing energy of the universe. The mechanism you use to channel this energy will be dependent on your shifting requirements, so each day of healing you enjoy will be unique. All will replenish you, however, allowing you to recreate yourself in a perfect image of health. |

| | Command Of The Heart | Cancer Horoscope November 29, 2021 Family or other personal relationships can evoke strong reactions within you today. You may feel overwrought or oversensitive, and thus respond with anger, sadness, or irritated frustration when your interactions with others are stressful. Although an intense desire to stay home, curled with a cup of tea and a good book in solitude, may be thwarted by your busy schedule or obligations. You can avoid having a truly distressing or stressful day by endeavoring to take command of your emotions. While your relationships may be at the forefront of your mind, consider that there are likely other matters you must attend to that are equally as deserving of your attention. Accepting your intense emotions as normal today, and then moving beyond them will help you calmly navigate your day.
As you learn to modulate your feelings, you'll become able to come to terms with your intense emotional reactions while still maintaining a demeanor of outward calm. Often, we let our reaction to a single incident or encounter negatively color our whole day's experiences. When you accept that much of what you deal with will awaken strong feelings within you and that these feelings are entirely natural, you can experience the full range of your emotions without being paralyzed by their impact. You'll gain the ability to come face-to-face with the turmoil within yet not be swept away by it. When you take control of your emotions today, you'll experience them fully yet they will not have power to direct the course of your life.
