The clan may be gathering around you, physically or energetically.

How would you call them together?  What symbol or flag would represent them?  And does that symbol align with your truths?

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

I would not say I was aware of any gathering yesterday, physically or energetically from any of my various clans.  

The symbology thing was interesting though.  Many years ago I found a symbol, in a book about unicorns, which I adapted to be my symbol.  It is very similar to symbols and runes which are already out there.  I hadn't thought about it in a while.  A long while, actually.

I get daily recommendations from Snag a Job for jobs "in my area"; and I clicked on one suggestion yesterday because of the name of the company.  And there was a variation of my symbol, as their logo.  My stomach did a little jump.  Maybe this was my job!  (heavenly choir, spotlights dancing.)

But.

They were looking for call center persons, which is not something I am currently interested in.  And I wasn't particularly thrilled by the services the company offered.  But I wondered if it was something i should apply for anyway, because I resonated with the logo.  Maybe there was something more to the company.  Something underneath, better than it looked.

But, I tend not to be that subtle, for all I like to call a spade a long apparatus with which one turns dirt.  So my perfect job (with confetti and a kick line) will tempt me with things I am interested in and then reward me with things I like.   My truth has nothing to do with call centers and outsourcing.  Even if it's wrapped with a pretty bow.

Today's situation is based on past decisions, past actions.  Some choices were yours, but other people's choices affect us too.

So when you're celebrating your current fortune, you might take a moment to celebrate everyone who chooses.

I hope you have a great day!

Things may feel out of balance, out of flow, not as symbiotic or sympathetic as usual.  If this works for you, yay!  Otherwise, slow down.  Going faster will NOT pull things together.  And, oh yeah, breathe.

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

I've been out of town for a few days, so it's been awhile, (hi!), but I totally remember this one.  Because it worked backwards.

Instead of slowing down, in order to accomplish my goals, I would have done better to go faster.  But every time I felt the urge to speed up, I instead sat down (figuratively - well, and literally once, when I was waiting for something. *G*.)  So, I lost an opportunity I had been waiting for, to have a long conversation with someone.

So while it is true that going faster will not pull things together...  because I do tend to lose things, and I don't multi-task well... it is perhaps time to practice moving with more purpose.  Taking a step back or a deep breath does not mean losing momentum.

Of course, the optimist in me says it turned out the way it needed to be.  Perhaps more conversation would have been ended up putting too many ideas in my head, and I wouldn't have remembered what I wanted to.  (They made the note taking phones just for me!)  Or...

Wait, no second guessing.  No back tracking.  From this point of view at this time, I would like to have had more time for conversation.  So my lesson is, if it says things may feel out of flow, I might want to check twice about what I think the flow is.

Recalling a past success or focusing on a goal nearing completion will help bring feelings back into balance.

I hope you have a great day!

Yay!  Today we havest!  We receive the benefits, reap the rewards, pluck the fruits of our labors.  A taste of the bounty to come.  Celebrate yourself and all your hard word!

*****

And what did this mean for me today?  This morning, it was a high flying sensation.  A perfect morning of doing a little of everything in my repertoire: reading, rithmatic and ruminating.  Even a little riting advice.

But it feels like I forgot, by the end of the day, to celebrate the harvest.  I only pined for more.  Looking back on what I had.

It's an easy trap to fall into, to feel good and then retreat; to focus on the resting phase like it's a low point.  And to actively look for all the things that could prevent more good days.  Like we're only allowed one?  Never.  Never!  More and more and more.  Today was just a taste of the bounty; a taste of the harvest.  Like testing the fruit to make sure it's going to be ripe.  And I do want more.  I want many more mornings like this morning.  But I want even more than that.  I want days.  I want evenings.  I want weeks and months and years.  I want it all.  Even the resting phases.  I will practice the resting phases as I practiced the skills that give me my bounty.  And eventually, even resting will be a celebration.

I hope you have a great day!

Today may feel like everything is murky & clarification is hard to come by.  Whether you step back and wait for tomorrow or step forward, do what feels right for you in the moment.
