Get Ready for Another Round of Challenges

On Oct 8th Venus goes retrograde and does a little dance across the sky until Nov 18th is going to put an already stressed situation over the top. This can cause financial breakdowns, terrorist actions, and personal upsets that can make people feel as if there is no hope and, no matter what, they will feel as if they are loosing ground.

Take action to protect yourself financially right now. Emotionally create some inner space so you will not feel as if you are going to snap. Realize that bad things happen to even the best of people. Sometimes we just have to let go of the past patterns and perspectives completely. This year seems to be one of those times and these astrological aspects seem to reinforce that reality.

What is it you want to do for the rest of your life? Now is the time to take a chance and shift. All the energies are breaking down things that do not allow the unfolding of your true self. Sometimes we have to look at what we have created in our life and have the courage to un-create it. This can be tremendously difficult as things sometimes take on a life of their own. But now that reality has outgrown its usefulness and these shift are taking place regardless.

It is all a game of growth and learning. Make choices that allow you to find happiness and contentment. Everyone in life deserves a little bit of love, acceptance, nurturing, and happiness. Take this time to claim that for yourself. Choose carefully and wisely. Hurting others in order for you to shift are karmically inappropriate. Attempt to untangle yourself in ways that create honor and respect for all those who love and support you. Because they are also going through their own version of change just like you.
