“If you have water, pour it before you’re asked. If you know the way, walk behind them. If you own two coats, wear the older one. If someone falls, sit on the ground until they can stand. If you must speak in the temple, whisper. God’s ear is always closest to the quiet”
Today’s Mantra:
I AM strong.
I AM brave.
I AM courageous.

“Many are clearing deep wounds rooted in the experience of being used, exploited or taken advantage of.
This wounding creates a protective aversion to being seen, to awakening your gifts, to accessing resources or sharing your knowledge.
But your purpose requires these things.”
“Your voice is more than just words and sounds. It is the energy signature of your soul. A form of creative expression no one can replicate. When you cultivate the quality of your voice, you become a divine work of art. And your individuality and originality speak for themselves.”
Sun in Virgo. Moon in Virgo.

Its time for a rest. The next three weeks I want you focusing on grounding, organizing, and setting these plans into motion. Don’t worry about chasing, you won’t need to what so ever. Its all coming to you, dude.
Today though, I want you to try and engage with life a little bit more creatively. It can be your instinct to solve problems quickly and directly, but its also important to look for meaning in all things, whether or not hey have a concrete use. The more you can open your mind, the more aspect of your life can seem purposeful.
…
Venus, the planet of love and relationships and feminine energy and feminine power, changed signs from Cancer to Leo.
It's a shift from water to fire. Leo is a fire sign. It's autonomous and creative and free, and it doesn't need permission or validation to shine.
By sharing its light, it makes everybody else light up. And right away, Venus in Leo is going to form an opposition with the deeply transformative outer planet, Pluto, which is in Aquarius.
Pluto wants to strip away what's not essential or authentic, and you can apply that to your relationships and your relationship values. This is a shift from an energy that is more emotional and sensitive and more internal and introspective - towards fire.
Leo is about expressing your love and self-love in a big and bold way. So Venus in Leo, this moment is encouraging you to step out into the world, to be yourself, and to shine.
Leo is about loving yourself so unconditionally that it inspires others to love themselves. So it's about being bold in your actions and moving from the heart and loving from that more emotional place than necessarily a feeling sensitivity place.
In its highest expression, Leo comes from the heart, not from the ego. It's one of the most generous signs, because it's coming from a place of abundance. Its confidence is meant to inspire others and not to dominate them.
Again, right now Venus is opposing the outer planet Pluto. So this opposition can add some themes around death and rebirth and transformation in your relationships and your relationship to yourself.
Right now, this is an incredible time to assess your relationship with self-love. Again, Leo's confident. It's into what it's into, but in a way that's meant to be contagious, not self-centered.
So this is a moment to start thinking of loving yourself as a principle to live by. You've let yourself fall into the belief that you're unlovable, this is a moment to transform all that.
This energy is encouraging you to love yourself, to put yourself out there, to be able to share yourself. That's the greatest contribution you can give, is to share your energy in the most healthy way. The Leo energy is very animated right now, so the shadow sides might come out.
If you notice that you start getting a little too attached to needing to be the center of attention or to external praise, it might mean that your ego is getting a little activated. It's about coming back to a place of balance and channeling this energy in the most positive way.
Whatever inspiration comes through you, it's just meant to be that. It's not a value judgment or proof that you're better than anyone else.
This is a time about being the individual that you are and being comfortable in your own skin. And even if you're not feeling that, understand that that energy is available to you right now to work with and to channel, even if it's baby steps of just being less critical day to day and trying to encourage yourself.
Or even if it means distancing yourself to people that don't feel good for you, any act of self-love is basically encouraged right now. It's a beautiful energy to play with, to enjoy, and to just soak it in while it's very alive right now.
LFG
