Life in Runes Cancer 2015 - UrazR

UrazR is telling us that in the coming month, some of our foundations are going to shift.

We get energy from many different places: our clan, our homes, our jobs, our cars, music, books, television, classes. We extend our roots into them, make them part of our support group, our comfort patterns, our safe havens or our learning centers.

But Uraz is saying that some of those foundations, even ones that worked so well in the past, are no longer going to be  comforting, supportive, educational.

This is natural. Everything grows and changes. Things wear out or run down. Batteries drain. Patterns become ruts. People grow and expand and evolve.

And as we change, our needs change. Or our way of fulfilling needs changes. The blanket fort gave way to the plush couch. Now the couch is only comfortable in memories and needs to be replaced. Perhaps by a recliner. Which will break down or become uncomfortable to your body in its turn.

Even in a metaphysical sense, places we connected to and grounded ourselves in are shifting; the calm place that  recharged your core is now a seething volcano. The soothing white noise is now an irritating buzz. Mother Earth is busy revamping herself and do you want to ground in a vortex?

It is time to find the foundations that need to change and begin uprooting ourselves. Time to actively try new connections. Celebrate the transformations, give thanks to the old forms of support, and move on. Happily, this is a reading that spreads over the month so we have time to test the various waters, or soils, or rooftops. Play a little. Explore a little.

And the calmer you are in this change of location, the easier the transfer will be. Even if it's fast, it doesn't have to be painful or stressful. Hence the advice from the runes.

UrazR - foundations which served us well in the past are no longer supportive. It is time to find new connections and make an easy transition.

**********************************

Whenever a rune reading is about something I'm experiencing, I wonder if it's going to apply to more than what is currently in progress. For example, if I were preparing to get a new vehicle, and this rune appeared, I'd wonder if it meant it's time to sell my house also. (happily I rent, so it's not actually an issue. To my knowledge. Hmm. Grrr.)

However, even if there is nothing else (or nothing other) than the foundations currently being repotted, it is a good time to reflect on what I do consider my foundations. Am I getting bored with the music I have? Is it time to find a new author to read? Perhaps I should get out of the house (apartment) and visit parks, or take day trips to "exotic" places. Even my decision making process could be a foundation in need of change.

And. Or. Maybe I don't have new systems to replace ones that were already released. Like comfort eating. I'm about 50/50 - oh, all right, 70/30 - in my practice to not turn immediately to food in times of sorrow, boredom, frustration, happiness. But I haven't actually found a good substitute, or new practice.

I have to admit, though, I think it will be a nice day when we get a general reading which does NOT indicate change, growth, reattachment. Not that we ever stop growing, but resting on my laurels sound nice and peaceful.

At least I also now I am 70/30 successful at flowing easily and gracefully through situations. Which means, whatever the changes, I know happiness is a byproduct.

I hope you have a great day!

Today's answers may lie somewhere other than the traditional path.  Look not amongst the skills & gifts handed down from family.  Reach outside your ancestral box.

***************************************
The situation that comes most to mind regarding this reading is the job hunt.

The questions -  "What do you want to be when you grow up?"  "What is your major?"  "What do you do?"  As if our jobs define us.  And we do, I believe, all want a job, or something, which gives us purpose and makes all the other crap we've brought into our lives worthwhile.

So here  I am, over 40, looking at the jobs for which I may be qualified, and thinking, but do I really want to BE a... sales clerk, file clerk, call center, admin assistant, bank teller...  for the rest of my life?  Do i want that to be my career?

But the truth is, this job search isn't about the rest of my life, in that sense.  It is about the next moment.  Fulfilling my needs for the next moment.  It even says it in most of the descriptions... these are "at will" jobs.  I work there while I want to work there.  They employ me while they want to employ me.  I can work where I find work.  I can switch jobs.  As we all know, life is about change and growth, not stasis.

And I already have a job, I just need more income.  So I am actually looking for a second job.

So, the non-traditional job hunt.  What will get me what I need for this next moment?  And working with something that I can be excited about, or want to learn more about.  Remove the limits of labels and titles.  Heck, given that a lot of companies are hiring temporary or part time, I may end up finding two or three jobs!  On top of the ones I already have.  So.

Also, to stay out of the insurance genre.  For that is a family thing.

And whether I am working in a shop, or alphabetizing, or answering phones, what I DO is still the same - being the best Lila I can be.

A day to practice our truths, with no special emphasis.  But, if you need something to ponder, try this.  What symbols do you want to represent you?  Around which flags do you wish to gather?

Thank you, and I hope you have a great day!

Change is difficult.  Maybe today, instead of making a big change, we can create a synthesis between what was & what will be.

**************

At first, I thought this was about taking small steps today.  Wanting something to change right now, but needing to do it one step at a time.

And it is.  But, for me at least, I think I had the timing wrong.

Because I do have dreams, goals, ambitions, projects; and sometimes I feel like they're never coming to fruition.

And I was considering all those plans, and, further, all the things I have already done in my life.  Things I did make happen.  And I realized, today's reading may be more of an assurance.  

Things happen in small steps.  The bigger the change, the more people it affects, the longer it takes.  Therefore, don't give up.  Small steps.  Just taking steps.  Keep taking steps.  That is the chain, that is the synthesis, that is the balance.  Change one small thing, and bigger things will grow.  From yesterday to today to tomorrow.

Keep stepping.

I hope you have a great day!
