*  Embrace new opportunities for loving, connecting, working, and creating on planet earth....do not automatically reject a new situation, opportunity, joy, or partnership just because it is unlike what you have known in the past.  Also, if it looks differently than what you had expected, that might be OK during this time...in fact, it might be better than OK.  Things have a way of coming in the most unexpected of ways right now.

*  Release the past...or at least, the aspects of the past which are attempting to shed themselves.  Do not try to hang onto something that is dying right now.  If it is dying, let it go, so it (and you) can be free to move to the next level of experience.  Particularly important is to allow the old parts of yourself which are truly no longer you to die.

*  Let go of old baggage....Don't try to take old baggage with you on your new trip.  The energies of this alignment can lead you onto a grand new adventure, but in order to go there, you're going to need to let go of any old hurts, unforgiveness, or grievances that you have been holding onto.  Words of advice:  Don't take yourself, or what you think others have "done" to you, so seriously.  OK.  So maybe it was "bad" or "really bad".  Maybe they acted like real jerks.  It happens.  Let it go, and move on.  Your new adventure awaits you.

* Soften your expectations of others (and yourself too!).... Every person has their own private cross to bear.  If someone has "let you down", it might be because they are too tired from carrying their own burden to shoulder what you have asked of them.  Let it go, and find someone else to help you do what needs to be done, or learn to find what you are needing within yourself.  Also, remember not to expect too much of yourself.  Yes, it is good to stretch & challenge yourself, AND it is also good to be gentle & loving to YOU.

* Nurture & Build that which is truly important to you...This alignment is occurring in the elements of EARTH & WATER, the elements that give birth to new growth.  What is it that is most important to you to nurture, sustain, and build right now? THAT is what you should be focusing on and directing your energies into.  Look at how you are spending your money, energy & time...are these resources being invested into what aligns with your innermost values?  If not, then why not?  Your great loves in life should receive your first & finest fruits...not your "left-overs".  It will help you to progress greatly if you will make what is truly important to you a priority.

* Nurture & Support Others....During the days & weeks ahead, you will find that you are actually uplifted and expanded by nurturing & caring for others in some way.  The emotional & spiritual aspects of yourself become more active, and your heart chakra opens wider, increasing compassion & empathy.  What is it that you feel led to do to share your caring & empathy with others?  Who is *important* to you in your life and what can you do to show it?

*  Listen to & Trust Your Intuition....first, get deeply centered in your heart & solar plexus chakras, then tune into your inner guidance, and see what it is leading you to do. If you listen, your intuition will show you what you need to do at this time, and it will inspire you as to how to best proceed.  Once you hear that "still, small voice", make sure that you do act upon its positive & uplifting suggestions.

*  Feed, Grow & Engage Your Spiritual & Creative Self...this is very spiritually-energizing aspect, and it will inspire you to want to do more to explore & express your spiritual & creative self.  So what can you do to cultivate your connection with your own spiritual nature, or to be more creative?  What do you feel called to do along these lines? 

         Perhaps you will begin meditating more often, join a spiritual or creative community, attend a class or retreat, sign-up for a long-term program to support your spiritual & creative growth, hire a coach or mentor, start or take on an important project, pick back up with an old interest,  or _____________ (you fill in the blank with whatever it is you feel led to do along these lines).

* Give Service to Humanity...we all have a way that we are called to serve humanity.  This is something that you feel led to do to help others outside of your own family or immediate household circle.  It may be something that involves helping, sharing with or caring for just one person, or it may be many more people whom you feel led to serve & interact with in a caring way.  You have something within you that you can contribute to the human family.  Identify what this is, and begin doing it in whatever way you can, as often as you can.

*  Move & Circulate....Just do something....Energy can become overwhelming if it is stagnant or "stuck".  Therefore, if you are not sure what to do, or how to cope with and optimize your life right now, one of the best things to do is to just get moving....literally.  Get out and walk around the block.  If you can, walk a few blocks, or a mile or more.  Walking is particularly conducive to spiritual inspiration & breakthrough, because it takes you out of your usual environment, and helps you to find that Zen-like moment of "aha".

        If you don't like to walk, or just aren't near a place that is good for walking, you can try dancing, jumping jacks, push-ups, yoga, tai-chi or just waving your arms & gently kicking your legs or any other movement that is comfortable for you and helps you to release energy. 

        In closing, remember that:  "A Rising Tide Floats All Boats".

          Seek to be "a rising tide" (spiritually & energetically-speaking), and then you will float not only your own boat during this time of transformation, but you will also assist others in staying afloat by sharing & radiating your positive energy!

         I love you, and the Universe loves you, love others, and love yourself.  Hope you found this helpful!
