You can find out more about her insights and readings at @ ClaireChilversTarot Trusting the outcome and going with the flow The Wheel of Fortune is the midpoint in the Major Arcana cards .
It is card number ten and within numerology , tens denote an ending of a cycle and the beginning of a new one .
This cyclical card with its never-ending wheel turning around and around is a very good symbol of this point .
To look at this card can be very confusing .
What @ @ @ @ @ @ @ represent ?
Why are they sitting there reading books ?
Why are there no people in the picture ( unlike all the other Major Arcana cards ? )
In a reading it is equally frustrating , with groans of despair when it arrives and questions such as ; “ Where am I on the wheel – on the way up or way down ?
” ; “ What is it that is going to change my life so suddenly ?
” ; “ What can I do to change this or is fate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Many people find this card unsettling because , put simply , it is so uncertain – and us humans , well , we are not very good with uncertainty and rarely see it as a positive !
People consult the tarot because they want to understand what is going on in their own world and require clarity , assurances , calmness , and order .
To have The Wheel of Fortune arrive in the middle of a card reading , may leave you wishing you could ask for your money back !
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the card ’ s negatives aspects , let us remind ourselves that all the cards are neutral , and have both positive and negative attributes .
Although , that can be difficult to see if the only clarity it gives you is that things are out of your control .
Remember that The Wheel of Fortune is a small part of the journey of the Fool as he passes through every card on his way towards the successful completion of his human life .
The Wheel arrives just at the point where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ saw him when he had taken some time to reflect on all that he had learned from his mentors and the early part of his life .
He left card number nine , The Hermit , with a renewed picture of who he was and wishing to continue on his journey to fulfill his purpose .
With this in mind , it is the perfect time for the Universe to send him a challenge – they would not do so if they did not think he had gained all the abilities and wisdom @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him to jump on that wheel , embrace the challenge , face the adversity , hold on tight , and let them turn his life around until he is perfectly placed to continue on to the next phase of his life .
Unfortunately , however , when the wheel turns it can be unsettling .
If we are not in control of where we join it or when we are going to be allowed off of the spinning wheel , then that in itself is a challenge .
But , the positive with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when we do not have the time to worry or overthink , we just have to trust all will be ok and go with our gut feelings .
We usually find when the Universe throws us this challenge , we are able to draw on our unused strengths and abilities we didn ’ t know we had to achieve more than we ever thought possible .
And , when we stop spinning , we find ourselves in a much better place and one we wouldn ’ t have dreamed of being in had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ again our tarot journey that I am writing here is playing out in real time and has mirrored the ups and downs that we have all been witnessing recently .
As we are working our way through an intense Eclipse Season it seems that the world is willing us all to change and move on to a new cycle .
But , as we have all clung on to the wheel as our world has been spinning – seemingly out of control – I am aware that some people may have felt that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yet others may feel positive and enlightened by the changes they have seen , and a vast majority of people may have no idea at all whether they are up or down !
So , let us look now at the abundance of symbolism that this card offers us .
As an exercise , firstly ask the card for guidance and then take some time to have a look at the card and see what you are drawn to – you don ’ t need to know what the images are , just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ resonates .
We will all be drawn to something different , as we are all on different journeys .
Have a look at some of the explanations below to see if the symbol you have been drawn to resonates with you , ( you may even see the symbol -or something that relates to it – as you go through your daily life , especially if you are asking for help and guidance through this confusing time ) .
• Sphinx : The Sphinx on the top of the wheel is an Egyptian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ qualities may be in the offering or you may be called to use them if you are moving into more difficult times .
• Anubis : The red creature at the bottom is often shown as Anubis , who welcomes souls to the underworld .
He is the patron of lost souls and as scary as he looks , I feel that he is a comforting person to have around if we are feeling as low as we can be .
It reminds us we are not alone .
• Snake : The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the tarot ( he is also spotted in The Lovers card by the woman ) .
He is plunging down towards the bottom – and reminds me of the game Snakes and Ladders in that sometimes you can be up one minute , and then you land on the snake and slide all the way down and have to start again .
• Angel , Eagle , Bull , Lion : The four characters in the corners are representative of astrology and the minor arcana .
The Angel ( Aquarius , Swords and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Scorpio , Cups and element water ) , The Bull ( Taurus , Pentacles and element Earth ) , and the Lion ( Leo , Wands and the element Fire ) .
And the keen-eyed among you will realise that they all have wings .
As we all move along with the wheel , they are motionless , sitting on their clouds engrossed in their books ( the Torah – ancient book of wisdom ) .
Have you ever seen a bird trying to stay in one place on a windy day ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the wind is strong .
All these symbols not only relate to different elements or signs you may resonate with , but , collectively , are showing that it is possible to remain composed even through the chaos !
• The Roman Numeral X : We spoke about the number ten which is shown by the Roman Numeral X , and that this is the end of a cycle and the beginning of another .
Lastly , I will mention the Wheel of Fortune is also assigned to the planet Jupiter .
Jupiter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but , I often feel that the qualities of optimism and growth , which it is linked to , could be very valuable when we see this card .
Wherever you see yourself on this Wheel of Fortune remember that you will not be there forever and that this too will pass .
If you are riding high , be grateful and enjoy the moment .
If you are at the lowest point , even if it feels you are stuck , the wheel will soon move you out of the darkness .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ abundance of characters that surround you during this time , you are never on this journey alone .

Trusting the outcome and going with the flow
The Wheel of Fortune is the midpoint in the Major Arcana cards. It is card number ten and within numerology, tens denote an ending of a cycle and the beginning of a new one.
This cyclical card with its never-ending wheel turning around and around is a very good symbol of this point.
To look at this card can be very confusing. What on Earth do all those strange creatures represent? Why are they sitting there reading books? Why are there no people in the picture (unlike all the other Major Arcana cards?)
In a reading it is equally frustrating, with groans of despair when it arrives and questions such as; “Where am I on the wheel – on the way up or way down?”; “What is it that is going to change my life so suddenly?”; “What can I do to change this or is fate going to start ruling my life?”
Many people find this card unsettling because, put simply, it is so uncertain – and us humans, well, we are not very good with uncertainty and rarely see it as a positive!
People consult the tarot because they want to understand what is going on in their own world and require clarity, assurances, calmness, and order.
To have The Wheel of Fortune arrive in the middle of a card reading, may leave you wishing you could ask for your money back!
But, before we focus too much on the card’s negatives aspects, let us remind ourselves that all the cards are neutral, and have both positive and negative attributes.
Although, that can be difficult to see if the only clarity it gives you is that things are out of your control.
Remember that The Wheel of Fortune is a small part of the journey of the Fool as he passes through every card on his way towards the successful completion of his human life.
The Wheel arrives just at the point where he has grown up. We last saw him when he had taken some time to reflect on all that he had learned from his mentors and the early part of his life.
He left card number nine, The Hermit, with a renewed picture of who he was and wishing to continue on his journey to fulfill his purpose.
With this in mind, it is the perfect time for the Universe to send him a challenge – they would not do so if they did not think he had gained all the abilities and wisdom to cope.
The Universe is urging him to jump on that wheel, embrace the challenge, face the adversity, hold on tight, and let them turn his life around until he is perfectly placed to continue on to the next phase of his life.
Unfortunately, however, when the wheel turns it can be unsettling. If we are not in control of where we join it or when we are going to be allowed off of the spinning wheel, then that in itself is a challenge.
But, the positive with this is that these are the times when we do not have the time to worry or overthink, we just have to trust all will be ok and go with our gut feelings.
We usually find when the Universe throws us this challenge, we are able to draw on our unused strengths and abilities we didn’t know we had to achieve more than we ever thought possible.
And, when we stop spinning, we find ourselves in a much better place and one we wouldn’t have dreamed of being in had we followed our own ideas.
Once again our tarot journey that I am writing here is playing out in real time and has mirrored the ups and downs that we have all been witnessing recently.
As we are working our way through an intense Eclipse Season it seems that the world is willing us all to change and move on to a new cycle.
But, as we have all clung on to the wheel as our world has been spinning – seemingly out of control – I am aware that some people may have felt that their lives have plunged into darkness, yet others may feel positive and enlightened by the changes they have seen, and a vast majority of people may have no idea at all whether they are up or down!
So, let us look now at the abundance of symbolism that this card offers us.
As an exercise, firstly ask the card for guidance and then take some time to have a look at the card and see what you are drawn to – you don’t need to know what the images are, just let your eye wander and see what resonates.
We will all be drawn to something different, as we are all on different journeys.
Have a look at some of the explanations below to see if the symbol you have been drawn to resonates with you, (you may even see the symbol -or something that relates to it – as you go through your daily life, especially if you are asking for help and guidance through this confusing time).
Sphinx: The Sphinx on the top of the wheel is an Egyptian symbol of knowledge and strength. These qualities may be in the offering or you may be called to use them if you are moving into more difficult times.
Anubis: The red creature at the bottom is often shown as Anubis, who welcomes souls to the underworld. He is the patron of lost souls and as scary as he looks, I feel that he is a comforting person to have around if we are feeling as low as we can be. It reminds us we are not alone.
Snake: The snake is often associated with evil in the tarot (he is also spotted in The Lovers card by the woman). He is plunging down towards the bottom – and reminds me of the game Snakes and Ladders in that sometimes you can be up one minute, and then you land on the snake and slide all the way down and have to start again.
Angel, Eagle, Bull, Lion: The four characters in the corners are representative of astrology and the minor arcana. The Angel (Aquarius, Swords and element air), The Eagle (Scorpio, Cups and element water), The Bull (Taurus, Pentacles and element Earth), and the Lion (Leo, Wands and the element Fire). And the keen-eyed among you will realise that they all have wings. As we all move along with the wheel, they are motionless, sitting on their clouds engrossed in their books (the Torah – ancient book of wisdom). Have you ever seen a bird trying to stay in one place on a windy day? Able to keep in place even though the wind is strong. All these symbols not only relate to different elements or signs you may resonate with, but, collectively, are showing that it is possible to remain composed even through the chaos!
The Roman Numeral X: We spoke about the number ten which is shown by the Roman Numeral X, and that this is the end of a cycle and the beginning of another.
Lastly, I will mention the Wheel of Fortune is also assigned to the planet Jupiter.
Jupiter has many aspects assigned to it, but, I often feel that the qualities of optimism and growth, which it is linked to, could be very valuable when we see this card.
Wherever you see yourself on this Wheel of Fortune remember that you will not be there forever and that this too will pass.
If you are riding high, be grateful and enjoy the moment. If you are at the lowest point, even if it feels you are stuck, the wheel will soon move you out of the darkness. And as you can see by the abundance of characters that surround you during this time, you are never on this journey alone.

Chiron enters retrograde on July 10-11, 2020, but traveling through the underworld is a place it’s very familiar with.
Chiron was abandoned at birth and left to fend for itself. It was through this wound of abandonment and difficult upbringing that it was able to rise up, and turn its wounds into powerful portals of healing.
It was Chiron’s wounds that paved the way for its role as a powerful healer, teacher, psychic, and philosopher. This is why Chiron is referred to as the wounded healer.
We all possess the same powers as Chiron. Inside each and every one of us, we have the ability to take our wounds and pain points and turn them into a source of power.
As the poet Rumi says- the wound is where the light enters you.
The symbolism of Chiron is used to represent this asteroid that is orbiting out there in space between Saturn and Uranus.
Saturn is a very grounded, rooted, energy, whereas Uranus is considered a planet of a higher vibration. Uranus’ energy can also bring about awakenings and the rise of kundalini energy.
Chiron can act as a bridge between these two states of being and is actually sometimes referred to as the Rainbow Bridge.
The Rainbow bridge signifies the linking between one state of consciousness and the next, and this idea is further amplified if we look to Egyptian Astrology.
In ancient Egyptian astrology, Chiron goes by another name- Anpu or Anubis, the god of the afterlife and lost souls.
A lot of the myths and legends that are used in Western Astrology can be traced back to Egyptian and Babylonian astrology, and Anubis can be seen as Chiron’s counterpart.
Just like Chiron, Anubis was abandoned as a child. It was through this painful upbringing that Anubis was also able to rise up into the noble profession of the guardian of the underworld.
It was the job of Anubis to welcome the newly dead to the underworld and to guide them as they transition to the afterlife.
It takes a special soul to be given such a position, and no doubt, it was Anubis’ own pain and suffering that allowed it to develop the compassion, discernment, and loyalty to walk souls through such a journey.
“Anubis is the renewer of souls of the dead. In order to assume this role, it was necessary to release his attachment to his own wounding by moving into forgiveness, love, and a larger understanding of the deeper meaning behind the wounding. Thus, he is transformed into a great healer and a guide for others.”– Linda Star Wolf and Ruby Falconer
As Chiron or Anubis enters retrograde in Aries this July, we are able to go within to our own wounds and reflect on how we have used them as a source of power and healing.
I think about my own journey with grief in this instance. The loss of my sister in this physical realm has given me a deep wound. And while it is painful, I can also appreciate how it has softened me and made me more compassionate.
I feel this compassion is allowing me to be a better writer, a better friend, and a better human overall.
Along with finding the light from our wounds, this is also a time to think about the things that still pain us, and how we may be able to create some space so we can shift and turn them into growth, power, and light.
“There is no doubt that baby Anubis was afraid and hurt when his mother Nephthys walked away from him. But soon Isis, Great Mother to us all, comes and scoops him up in her rainbow wings- as she holds each of us when we are facing our own dark night of the soul.” – Linda Star Wolf and Ruby Falconer
We can use this Retrograde energy not to sugar-coat our wounds, but to recognize that just like Chiron and Anubis, our suffering very often can lead us to the path of our destiny.
“The pain of our experience becomes our greatest teacher and the lesson we learn is who we truly are beyond our wounds.“– Linda Star Wolf and Ruby Falconer
As Chiron/Anubis retrogrades through the sign of Aries, it makes a series of alignments with Mars.
They conjunct on July 13, 2020, but this energy is likely to be felt all through the second half of the month and even in to August.
At this time, we can really be guided to not just think of our wounds as portals of light but of courage, strength, and purposeful action.
Under this energy, we can allow our wounds to help us take action for a brighter future.
Chiron turns direct on December 15, 2020.

This week, we have two ends of the spectrum, The Fool and The Universe. They represent the beginning and the end, youth and wisdom, our birth and our full consciousness.
We are holding a wide range of human emotions and experiences. Somethings are just starting and we are embarking on a new journey of knowledge. For other things, we are in a place of deep understanding and standing in our power.
The Fool points to the spirit of a fearless child and boundless imagination. The Fool is the first card in the Tarot and represents the energy of a new soul that is not familiar with the world.
The Fool is all about taking risks and lightening the load of emotional baggage. Its mantra is: “Leap and the net will appear.”
The vibrations of this card push us to move through our fears in order to step into the present. The Fool calls us to focus on areas of our lives where we want to take chances.
Starting new relationships, business ventures, or ways of thinking are all connected to The Fool. This card is most activated when fresh paths are being taken.
The Fool can make us scared. Many of us have become too familiar with pain, heartbreak, and failure and these things make us afraid of leaping.
But The Fool has faith in the goodness of our being and asks us to lovingly take down our walls in order to grow as people and as a world. They see us building a new and more just path.
The Universe card points to an achievement of higher consciousness in areas of our life. This card wants us to feel proud and honor the growth we have made.
The figure on the Universe card is naked and dancing, surrounded by the four elements. She is in a place of celebration and mastery. She is has gone through all the trials and tribulations of the Fool’s Journey and is in her power.
To invite the Universe card into your life, offer her the gift of dancing. Being in your body instead of your head is a great way to uplift this energy.
Even in these dark times, turning on some music and allowing yourself to let go can be very healing. Close your eyes and don’t think about how you look. Let yourself feel present in the music.
Under the influence of the Universe, take a moment to acknowledge your work instead of thinking about where you need to go next. The work will always be there. But this week, you deserve a moment of reflection and release.
Spend time this week honoring yourself. Do something that makes you feel good. Indulge in an activity that makes your body feel alive. This will help you recharge for what’s next on your path.
Mantra for the week: I contain multitudes; places of growth and places of mastery. I hold all my places inside with love.
I would love to pull some cards just for you. Check out nikkifo.online to sign up for a personal tarot reading.

8 Other Chakras You Haven ’ t Heard About

Contained within your Higher Self is the wisdom and knowledge of every lifetime you have ever experienced and are currently experiencing.
When you connect with your Higher Self, it allows you to feel closer to Source, the universe, oneness, love, and your soul purpose.
What is your Higher Self?
Your Higher Self is essentially your Spirit Energy, not just the Spirit Energy that lives inside of your physical body, but the Spirit Energy that also lives beyond.
Let me explain-
When you were pure Spirit Energy, and you decided you were going to come down to Earth for a human experience – because let’s face it, being pure energy can only be blissful for so many centuries before you feel the need to change – only part of your Spirit Energy was placed inside of your body.
The rest of your Spirit Energy was left up in different realms to do different things and to perhaps even carry out different lives.
We don’t need all of our Spirit Energy for this journey, because firstly, our human bodies probably wouldn’t be able to handle it, and we also need to leave some room to embrace our humanness.
So, the totality of our Spirit Energy spread across all of our lifetimes, bodies, dimensions, and timelines, is our Higher Self.
We can also think of our Higher Self as the Spirit Energy that didn’t reincarnate here with us but is still connected to us. It has one foot in the higher realms and one foot down here on Earth with us.
Our Higher Self has knowledge of what our Spirit Energy has been up to since the beginning of time, and it is there to help and guide us. In fact, we can view our Higher Self as a type of Spirit Guide.
While we are on Earth, we can connect to our Higher Self through activating our Soul Star Chakra.
Soul Star Chakra
The Soul Star Chakra is our eighth chakra and is located a few inches to a foot above our Crown Chakra.
The Soul Star is a luminescent white color with shades of green, blue, and purple.
While all chakras are visualized in the shape of a wheel, the Soul Star chakra can also be visualized in the shape of an 8-pointed star or Merkaba.
The Soul Star Chakra is your connection or bridge to your Higher Self and to the realms beyond.
By activating and working with this chakra, you can tune in to the fullness of your own Spirit Energy and the purpose of your Soul in this incarnation. You can also use this chakra to gain access to your Akashic Records.
Connecting to your Higher Self
Connecting with your Higher Self can bring you clarity, a feeling of love and support, and a reminder of your soul purpose.
Connecting with your Higher Self is not about being some angelic being, rather it can help you to create a deeper understanding of life, and through that deeper understanding, life becomes more meaningful.
We can only see things from our limited, human mind, but our Higher Self can see things across lifetimes and through the lens of our soul purpose.
So, when something happens or you are faced with challenges, your Higher Self can see more clearly where these challenges are rooted, why they are there, and what their purpose is.
When you connect with your Higher Self, they can share that information with you to give you a deeper understanding of your life journey and whatever it is that you are facing.
Making a connection with your Higher Self is an individual journey, but here are a few tips to help you get started-
1.) Acknowledge the Connection
You are already connected to your Higher Self whether you choose to work with it or not.
Your Higher Self comes to you in dreams, visions, and intuitive pings. When you find yourself staring off into space for no reason, that is your Higher Self syncing up with you.
When you feel tingles when someone mentions something or you enter a space, that is your Higher Self reminding you to pay attention, it’s like your cells are waking up, remembering something important about your journey or the moment your find yourself in.
As you start to become aware of your own Higher Self, you will be able to tune in to when and how it is making contact with you.
Maybe also take a moment to think about what your Higher Self may feel or look like. You may even like to try this journal prompt- “If my Higher Self was sitting in front of me right now, it would say…“
2.) Tame the Ego
Your Higher Self is kind, compassionate, and feels more like home. Your Higher Self however, has to share room with your ego.
Being human is not about learning to shed the ego. Rather, it is about learning to balance our ego with our Higher Self.
When connecting with our Higher Self, our ego will have questions that perhaps may block or get in the way of the messages our Higher Self has for us.
Here is a good exercise to practice with using a deck of Oracle or Tarot cards:
Shuffle the cards and ask a question from your ego/human mind. Pull three cards and see what answers come up.
Now, without formulating a question, ask your Higher Self to come and pull some cards for you so it can share a message. See what cards come up, and how they may be different or the same to the first cards you pulled.
When I did this exercise, the first card spread gave me a lot to think about and while it answered some questions, I still had more. On the second card pull with my Higher Self, I noticed the cards felt more definitive, and while no question was asked, it gave me a sense of the bigger picture.
Your feelings and response to this exercise will of course be different, so tune in to whatever messages and feelings you get.
If you would like to do more work on taming the ego, I highly recommend A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle.
3.) Activate your Soul Star Chakra
If you are used to meditating, you may like to use this self-guided practice. Here are a few steps to get you started:
1.) Close your eyes and take three deep breaths, just settling your mind and body.
2.) Bring your awareness to the top of your head and imagine a beautiful luminescent star hovering about a foot above you.
3.) As you focus on this point, imagine the star getting brighter and stronger. Imagine it opening to reveal its true strength and power.
4.) Then, quietly in your mind, ask to merge and connect with your Higher Self.
Youtuber, Aurora Amor has also created a Soul Star Chakra Meditation using some of the wisdom from this article.
Here is another good introductory video by Energy Healer, Deborah King.
I recommend working with this video to begin with, but then taking your own intuitive journey in connecting with your Higher Self.

foreverconscious--2020-07-09--Intuitive Astrology: Jupiter and the 22nd Degree

On July 9th , Retrograde Jupiter reaches 22 degrees of Capricorn .
Normally , this is nothing special , however , earlier in 2020 we had the defining Saturn-Pluto conjunction , which also took place at 22 degrees of Capricorn , making this degree of the zodiac highly charged and potent .
Think of this degree as a sensitive spot in the sky , and when a planet , especially a big expansive planet like Jupiter , aligns with this degree , it can activate the imprint of energy that was left here .
The Saturn-Pluto Conjunction occurred on January @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and has set the stage for everything we have experienced in 2020 so far .
Saturn and Pluto bring sweeping change , they shine a spotlight on law and order , governments , and their energy together has even historically shown to bring mass disease .
The Saturn-Pluto conjunction has defined 2020 , but will also define the entire decade .
It is a once in a lifetime alignment that is destined to push us deeper into embracing the Age of Aquarius .
Jupiter will reach this sensitive 22nd degree of Capricorn on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a few days .
While this in itself can activate the sensitive energies of this degree , a few days later on July 14th , the Sun will also align opposite Jupiter .
While Jupiter may not be exactly at 22 degrees of Capricorn at this time , it will still be very close , and together , the energy of the Sun will help to charge up this place in the cosmos .
To add to the mix , on July 18th , the Sun will then align opposite Retrograde Pluto , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ both personally and collectively back in January of this year .
Essentially , this period spanning from July 9th-18th , we have this theme of revisiting January and looking back over this time so we can see more of the picture .
Now that we are more than halfway through the year , January may seem like a distant memory .
So much has happened for all of us since the start of the year .
The world has been shaken on such a huge level , and all of us in our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pretty big changes and adjustments .
Change is never easy , but it is moments like these that help us to become stronger and encourage us to grow .
When we are out of our comfort zones , we can also discover new things about ourselves that we never realized before .
January is always a month where most of us feel inspired to set goals and to think about what we wish to achieve .
I look back over the goals I wrote for myself in January , and now realize that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in this new reality we are currently experiencing .
But that ’ s ok , for life is always leading us in new directions , and more so than ever , it feels more aligned to ask my own inner Divine to just lead and guide me in each moment .
What if I am the one in my own way ?
What if I am simply distracting myself with things that are not meant for me ?
I want to keep aligning on my highest path .
I understand my highest path @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But if that ’ s what my soul signed up for , if that ’ s what I am supposed to do while I am here , let ’ s just get it done .
Looking back to January is not about counting failures and lost dreams , it is about dancing the dance between what you desire and what finds you .
Jupiter expands whatever it touches , so as it hovers to this sensitive degree , we may actually receive some greater clarity , not just about what was happening @ @ @ @ @ @ @ take whatever this year has brought us and push ourselves into the future .
Life is never going to be the same , so let ’ s start to embrace this year not as a disaster , but as a catalyst for the incredible changes that are destined to take place not only on the global stage but in our lives .
Let us trust that every situation we find ourselves in is not because we are bad or good or wrong or right , but because this is the best and highest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in this lifetime .
Maybe this idea of revisiting January is about recognizing that our true power comes when we adapt , remain flexible , and allow our inner Divine to lead the way .

foreverconscious--2020-07-10--Allowing Yourself to Grow When Facing Uncertainty

Doron Hafner is a personal and business coach , and writer for Vision , Belief , Change , which inspires people to live the life they want , through opening their minds to new perspectives and possibilities , and providing them with practical tools for achieving their goals and dreams .
Can you allow yourself to grow when facing uncertainty ?
When facing uncertainty , we can find ourselves stressed , anxious , and even terrified .
Whether this uncertainty involves your work , your family , your close relationships , or financial concerns , your mind can automatically be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ switched on , a cocktail of your ‘ classic ’ old negative thoughts and negative emotions mixes with the new circumstances .
This cocktail is the way your mind protects you .
For years it was conditioned to guard and keep you safe from any changes and uncertainties , but these thoughts are not who you are .
Your soul is immortal .
Nothing can hurt it , nothing can dim your light that shines from within .
You are an eternal and infinite being , something that your mind is too narrow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when you are facing uncertainty , remember , you are more than a physical body and a mind that has thoughts , you are a spiritual being .
But most of the time we don ’ t feel that way , right ?
Most of the time we are being sucked into the notorious cocktail , trying to predict and control everything that will happen , and trying to limit our infinitesimal nature .
As author Brené Brown states , you have to – “ Let go of who you think you ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you are .
Perfectionism is a self-destructive and addictive belief system that fuels this primary thought : If I look perfect , and do everything perfectly , I can avoid or minimize the painful feelings of shame , judgment , and blame.
” When you are constantly focused on doing everything perfectly and trying to control and minimize your feelings , you are preventing yourself from experiencing the many possibilities that live inside you and that life holds for you .
What is ‘ Perfect ’ anyway ?
Isn ’ t it just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you ’ ve been taught life is ?
Why would you want to limit yourself only to what you have seen so far in life ?
Is there no chance that something wonderful and exciting exists out there , just waiting for you to arrive ?
What about what you don ’ t know yet ?
The things that you have not discovered yet in yourself ?
When you think about it through this perspective , uncertainty might be the perfect growth catalyst , since it throws you out of your conventions and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chance to find more in yourself .
It will probably be scary and stressful in the beginning for you to let go of control , but facing uncertainty and allowing yourself to grow can definitely come easily and peacefully for you , once you realize some key elements .
How do you usually react when something new and unknown appears in your life ?
Do you think that these reactions are good for you ?
Or not ?
Your mind is constantly trying to find the path of least resistance , and when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and often stressful predictions and evaluations , you are generating more of the same .
Your mind signals your body to prepare for a stressful situation , and it does so very thoroughly , by running all the bad scripts and worst-case scenarios as vividly as possible , based on past experiences .
And the same is also true for new things that you know will be positive .
Like when someone throws a birthday party for you , or your spouse asks you to clear your schedule for a surprise weekend , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to get a promotion or a bonus at work .
By trying to predict and process these future events you are depriving yourself of possibilities .
In the words of Wayne Dyer : “ Judgments prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances.
“ By making judgments of how things are supposed to happen , you are limiting your reality , and excluding the good that might be lying beyond your sight .
When you give yourself the gift of being free of judgments , you will get new results @ @ @ @ @ @ @ experience new things , not your past judgments and perspectives , you will get new reactions , and a new you .
But why does it have to be so hard to avoid this overthinking when facing uncertainty ?
Why is your brain mind making you feel so bad ?
This suffering , whether you are aware of it or not , whether you like it or not , is your habit .
It might have been formed when you were young , due to a painful situation , or you might have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It can be so hard to get over this familiar suffering because you are so used to it .
And when you repeat the same negative patterns , you are also solidifying them .
It ’ s not that you chose to be that way , it is just that you have been doing things that way for so long that your body and mind do not know anything else , these emotional patterns are stored deep inside .
How can new ideas , thoughts , and reality grow through these powerful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ happen to you , the real you .
And when you know that , you are much more capable of making new choices , that will lead to new experiences ; that will lead to new reactions ; that will lead to a new you .
And this is why uncertainty is perhaps the perfect chance for personal growth , because it allows you to open your mind to something new , something that never happened to you before .
Uncertainty is a Door to a Different Reality When you are truly connected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with no prior judgment , you are allowing yourself to grow .
You get to choose something different , not a product of your habitual thoughts and past .
Something that is an expression of your true self , your infinite being .
When you give yourself an opportunity to experience something different , you ’ ll find more in yourself .
Can you imagine something different ?
Can you allow yourself to seek something new in yourself ?
And once you are experiencing something new , how can that change your perspective @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from your old habits and negative patterns , and give yourself a new opportunity ?
In the beginning , you might still be running the same scripts and patterns , and that ’ s natural , as you have been doing it for so long .
But you just have to keep going , one small step at a time , and the miracle of momentum will do the rest of the job for you .
If you give up thinking for being , you will find more , as a new reality @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that you could have never imagined before .
If you will not try to control and predict it , uncertainty can be the growth opportunity you were looking for .
How to Shift from a Fixed Mindset to a Growth Mindset 5 Power Poses that Can Boost your Mood Breaking the Negative Patterns of your Subconscious Mind

Doron Hafner is a personal and business coach, and writer for Vision, Belief, Change, which inspires people to live the life they want, through opening their minds to new perspectives and possibilities, and providing them with practical tools for achieving their goals and dreams.
Can you allow yourself to grow when facing uncertainty?
When facing uncertainty, we can find ourselves stressed, anxious, and even terrified.
Whether this uncertainty involves your work, your family, your close relationships, or financial concerns, your mind can automatically be alarmed.
When your stress button is switched on, a cocktail of your ‘classic’ old negative thoughts and negative emotions mixes with the new circumstances.
This cocktail is the way your mind protects you. For years it was conditioned to guard and keep you safe from any changes and uncertainties, but these thoughts are not who you are.
Your soul is immortal. Nothing can hurt it, nothing can dim your light that shines from within. You are an eternal and infinite being, something that your mind is too narrow and limited for perceiving.
So, when you are facing uncertainty, remember, you are more than a physical body and a mind that has thoughts, you are a spiritual being.
But most of the time we don’t feel that way, right?
Most of the time we are being sucked into the notorious cocktail, trying to predict and control everything that will happen, and trying to limit our infinitesimal nature.
As author Brené Brown states, you have to – “Let go of who you think you’re supposed to be; embrace who you are. Perfectionism is a self-destructive and addictive belief system that fuels this primary thought: If I look perfect, and do everything perfectly, I can avoid or minimize the painful feelings of shame, judgment, and blame.”
When you are constantly focused on doing everything perfectly and trying to control and minimize your feelings, you are preventing yourself from experiencing the many possibilities that live inside you and that life holds for you.
What is ‘Perfect’ anyway? Isn’t it just getting 10 out of 10 in what you’ve been taught life is?
Why would you want to limit yourself only to what you have seen so far in life? Is there no chance that something wonderful and exciting exists out there, just waiting for you to arrive? What about what you don’t know yet? The things that you have not discovered yet in yourself?
When you think about it through this perspective, uncertainty might be the perfect growth catalyst, since it throws you out of your conventions and conditioned mind, and gives you a chance to find more in yourself.
It will probably be scary and stressful in the beginning for you to let go of control, but facing uncertainty and allowing yourself to grow can definitely come easily and peacefully for you, once you realize some key elements.
New Experiences, New Reactions
How do you usually react when something new and unknown appears in your life? Do you think that these reactions are good for you? Or not?
Your mind is constantly trying to find the path of least resistance, and when you are falling into the same automatic and often stressful predictions and evaluations, you are generating more of the same.
Your mind signals your body to prepare for a stressful situation, and it does so very thoroughly, by running all the bad scripts and worst-case scenarios as vividly as possible, based on past experiences.
And the same is also true for new things that you know will be positive. Like when someone throws a birthday party for you, or your spouse asks you to clear your schedule for a surprise weekend, or when you know that you are going to get a promotion or a bonus at work.
By trying to predict and process these future events you are depriving yourself of possibilities.
In the words of Wayne Dyer: “Judgments prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances.“
By making judgments of how things are supposed to happen, you are limiting your reality, and excluding the good that might be lying beyond your sight.
When you give yourself the gift of being free of judgments, you will get new results. When you will allow yourself to experience new things, not your past judgments and perspectives, you will get new reactions, and a new you.
But why does it have to be so hard to avoid this overthinking when facing uncertainty?
Breaking the Habit
Why is your brain mind making you feel so bad? This suffering, whether you are aware of it or not, whether you like it or not, is your habit.
It might have been formed when you were young, due to a painful situation, or you might have inherited it from your parents or siblings.
It can be so hard to get over this familiar suffering because you are so used to it. And when you repeat the same negative patterns, you are also solidifying them.
It’s not that you chose to be that way, it is just that you have been doing things that way for so long that your body and mind do not know anything else, these emotional patterns are stored deep inside.
How can new ideas, thoughts, and reality grow through these powerful binding patterns?
Again, nothing can happen to you, the real you. And when you know that, you are much more capable of making new choices, that will lead to new experiences; that will lead to new reactions; that will lead to a new you.
And this is why uncertainty is perhaps the perfect chance for personal growth, because it allows you to open your mind to something new, something that never happened to you before.
Uncertainty is a Door to a Different Reality
When you are truly connected to yourself when facing something new, with no prior judgment, you are allowing yourself to grow.
You get to choose something different, not a product of your habitual thoughts and past. Something that is an expression of your true self, your infinite being.
When you give yourself an opportunity to experience something different, you’ll find more in yourself.
Can you imagine something different? Can you allow yourself to seek something new in yourself? And once you are experiencing something new, how can that change your perspective about life?
Can you liberate yourself from your old habits and negative patterns, and give yourself a new opportunity?
In the beginning, you might still be running the same scripts and patterns, and that’s natural, as you have been doing it for so long. But you just have to keep going, one small step at a time, and the miracle of momentum will do the rest of the job for you.
If you give up thinking for being, you will find more, as a new reality will emerge into your life in ways that you could have never imagined before.
If you will not try to control and predict it, uncertainty can be the growth opportunity you were looking for.

We may begin feeling like we understand more of the bigger picture .
While this Cancer New Moon on July 20th , is definitely not as intense as the Cancer Solar Eclipse , it still brings a strong wave of energy that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and like we are being held back in some way .
Of course , on a global level , we are feeling this to varying degrees but this is likely to manifest on a personal level too .
We may start feeling restricted and held back by our own beliefs , habits , or routines .
This July New Moon is a great time to become aware of the things and beliefs you are doing that are holding you back from living your best life .
Very often , we are the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Very often , it is a little habit , a fear , or a voice of doubt that keeps us playing small and in a limited mindset and state of being .
With the New Moon falling in the feminine and watery sign of Cancer , it asks us not to make spreadsheets and set goals , but rather to focus on aligning ourselves .
When we align with our highest truth , our highest self , and our highest power , we need not worry about what unfolds next .
When @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alignment , we trust that whatever is meant to find us will find us , and the next perfect step will always be revealed to us .
When we live life from this place of surrender , rather than trying to control , we can tune in and connect with our own guiding star , with our own true north , and even when we feel lost , we can hold this sense of hope in our heart that all is well and all is as it should be .
Living from this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to shed the ego , it requires us to let go of a lot of societal conditioning , and to recognize there is a different and better way .
Saturn is going to be very active on this New Moon .
Saturn is currently retrograde and has made its way back in the sign of Capricorn .
At the time of this New Moon , Saturn will be directly opposite the Moon and this is mainly why we have this restrictive feeling looming .
While Saturn can hold us down and back , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get grounded and to think about what we can do to take responsibility for our lives .
If we feel restless , we can channel this energy by grounding ourselves and feeling rooted in the present moment .
A great way to ground your energy is to connect with nature .
You can walk barefoot on the grass , feel the earth with your hands , or sit with your back against a tree .
These simple acts allow you to connect with the electromagnetic field of the Earth , which brings you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
All of us have experienced great change this year , and change can always be challenging and even upsetting .
But this is our life .
And we have to find a way to make it work for us .
We have to take the mess , the chaos , the pain , and find a way to make it work for us .
The Cancer New Moon reminds us that this process is not about struggling or “ hard work ” .
Instead , it is about aligning .
It is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the Divine intelligence that lives inside of you .
Even though we have this incredible strength residing within , we need not go at it alone .
Cancer energy is a great time to connect with those that you love and to create a sense of family around you .
Creating a sense of family is not just about your blood relatives .
You can create it with your friends , roomates , pets , and even your house plants .
Under the dark Cancer New Moon , it is a good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and family life and what you desire in these areas .
It is also a good time to think about creating a more peaceful and soothing environment .
All of us are spending far more time at home these days , so put some attention into filling your space with positive energy and things that make you feel good .
