Weekly Forecast: May 28 – June 3, 2023

5/28 – Sun (essential Self) square Saturn (responsibility)

Weekly Forecast: May 28 – June 3, 2023Kelly M Beard – With this energy, it is best to understand that you will have two distinct pulls within – obligation to others versus responsibility to Self. It’s not nearly as bad as it feels, however, it does bring up something we all work really hard to balance to some degree or another – self and others .

How much do you owe your self and how much are you obligated to others?

Balance and reciprocity come to mind as guides. One of the challenges of this influence is making negative assumptions that there is no support for you when in truth, you haven’t asked for any and *help must be invited*. Continue reading

The Return of The Adults

Return of The AdultsPaul Rosenberg – It wasn’t very hard to see, as the 1970s passed into the ‘80s and ‘90s, that adults were abandoning their roles in the world. They resigned, en masse, and were replaced with youth-friendly types. Youth culture had become a great sales tool, after all, due largely to overly-indulgent parents.

By now, the cultures of the West have been very widely “youth-enized.” (Pun unintended but sadly applicable.) As just a small example, you can hardly find a museum these days that hasn’t sold out to bright colors and dumbed-down exhibits. Continue reading

Are You Dimming Your Light?

beingHilde Larsen – Are you dimming your light? I am not talking about the presentation of you, and who you want others to see you as, I am talking your inner radiance. Is it on full shine, or are you holding back? My guess is if you are anything like most of us, the dim is on.

The thing is, we tend to be afraid to shine — more so than to fail. Way more. Like me, brought up to believe showing my talents, my passions and my drive was a bit over the top, held down by those who were conditioned to stay smaller.

So, you see, being afraid to shine and show the world the very best side of YOU might be what you were brought up to do; to hold back your talents, your passions, the good, the bad AND the ugly, never realizing you can be proud of every aspect, and that only through shining your true color will you be happy and able to serve your very best.

But here’s the thing Happy people contribute to positive actions.

From my work as a Coach, I have found these common reasons why we hold back and hide our true expressions. Continue reading

Reaching balance

fear

Pavithra – There is something deep within us that wants to awaken, to come out and play, to express itself and enjoy life; this is our Eternal spirit and when its path is blocked with mental concepts, stories, rules, boundaries and distorted lifestyles then we experience pain, emptiness and coldness.

When this happens there is a disconnection, a separation within, and a conflict that we need to dig deep and find so we can correct it. The intention with this writing is to find this by exploring many avenues that we may be creating disconnections.

July 2018 calls for “Mature Responsibility in Unpredictable Times”

timeLena Stevens – It is time. It is time to take a hard look at where we give our power away, blame others, procrastinate what we know needs to be done, avoid responsibility and hope it will all just go away or that someone will do it for us. It is time to take responsibility for our health and well-being, emotional maturity and what we create. It is time to start believing in our own power to change what we can and to adapt to what we can’t. It is also time to face our own addiction to suffering, our insecurities and flawed belief systems that hold us back, and to do something permanent about them as much as we can.

This is an intense month as we have two eclipses followed by a third in August making the bookended time for change, breakthrough, and extreme behavior almost a month instead of the usual two weeks. The unpredictability of the times is related to how we manage this intensity and how we act or react to the internal pressure we feel to make something happen either for ourselves or for others. To say that you can expect a lot of “acting out” is an understatement. And, this is where our maturity and responsible behavior comes in.
