“I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”
― Henry David Thoreau
“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.”
― Maya Angelou
Today is a perfect day to stop allowing yourself to be small. If you aren’t doing what you want to do, figure out a way to make it happen. Now with a very powerful full moon behind us and the beginning of the waning phase, take time to devise plans and a schedule and prepare to put ideas into motion. It feels like the rest of this year is going to provide many opportunities for personal and professional growth, and you need only want it to have it happen for you.
Challenging Times Ahead – So many retrogrades, eclipses, and general unrest in our celestial skies are contributing to uneasiness, a desire for change, and no longer tolerating the archaic beliefs of the past. The collective is pushing towards something better as consciousness continues to find expression. Allow yourself to challenge every belief you hold. Figure out where it came from. Was it something your parents told you, or you learned at school, or it’s just the way you have always thought? Now is the time to expose these ghosts of the past and decide if they still work for you.
Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto continue in their retrograde motion, and before the end of the month Mercury and Neptune will join them. That will mean that from June 23rd to the 26th, six planets will be retrograde. It’s also eclipse season. What does this all mean? That it’s okay not to feel okay right now. Sometimes the energy outside of you challenges everything that you thought was safe and secure.
The year 2020 isn’t finished shaking our foundations quite yet. But from the turmoil can come strength and the realization of what is truly important in life. Sometimes you need to let go of everything in order to get everything that you want.
Gandhi – On June 7th, 1893, a young lawyer was kicked off of a train in South Africa. It was on that day that Mohandas Gandhi decided to fight racial inequality, a pursuit that would span a lifetime in a series of peaceful protests and the ability to motivate thousands. Gandhi’s persuasive methods of civil disobedience influenced leaders of civil rights movements around the world, including Martin Luther King, Jr.
Thought of the Day – It’s a new day. Step into it with fresh eyes and leave the tired, old way of looking at things behind. It isn’t serving you. Enjoy and be peaceful.
“Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.”
― Winston S. Churchill
