Relationships Get Intense; Exploration in Career!
Chinese Fortune Stick Reading of the Day
Just as the full moon lights up the traveler's path,
So too can your conscience guide your life.
Let your heart be like that moon: full, bright and clear.
TRADITIONAL INTERPRETATION
The full moon in this fortune represents hope for the future. Though things may seem confused at the moment, if you follow your conscience, everything will become clear. You need to make a clear division between right and wrong in your life. If you do this, it will be a good time for you. Your new found clarity will benefit both your personal life and your business. The relationship with your family, particularly with your parents, will improve.
REFLECTION
You know what is right and what is wrong. Stop pretending otherwise. All may seem obscure and troubling around you, but let your conscience dictate, and you will find the right path to follow.
Each day I sit down, take up the cup of sticks and ask the same question, “What does the Keen community need to know or hear today?” I shake the cup until a stick (or 2 or 3…) falls out. I then post the stick number and the meanings for you to get what you can out of them.
The sticks themselves are a form of I-Ching. There are a total of 64 sticks in the set that I use* with a poem and small interpretation/story to go along with each stick. The poems, meanings and reflections are meant to be read and (as a good friend of mine once said) marinated in. In our culture, we’ve grown accustomed to getting instant gratification. In other words, we’re used to everything being given to us with little or no work on our parts. These readings are the exact opposite of that type of attitude.
Chinese Fortune sticks are meant to make us slow down and reflect on what is being said. As each sticks’ meaning can be profoundly personal to each person who reads them, it’s more important for you to read them rather than have someone give you a watered down version. These readings are meant to sing to a level of your consciousness and bring you a measure of peace, or at least enlightenment.
The best way to get the most you can out of these readings is to approach them with an open mind. Before sitting down to read that morning’s reading, make some quiet time for yourself. Sit still for a moment and clear your mind. Silence the chatter in your head and take a few deep breaths, letting them out slowly. Once you feel yourself slow down a little (or a lot), read through the reading of the day. Go over it a few times if you feel the need. Then take a moment, sit back and think about what that reading means for you. Some will be very straightforward; others require a bit more thinking. Either way, let the reading from the sticks guide you that day on the decisions or experiences you have. These aren’t meant to tell you what to think, but rather to help you look at things in a different way or to allow you to access truths you already have.

New Years Resolutions Don't Work: How About A Word A Year?
New Years Resolutions Don't Work: How About A Word A Year?
Faery Blessings:
I cannot keep a New Years Resolution to save my life, that is why when I found out about choosing a Word For The Year, I jumped on it....I used the month of December to go over words to try to decide which word I will choose for this next year in 2021...the thing about this exercise is if you don't think you can do it for a year then start with choosing a Word For The Month, and if that is too much try a Word For The Week, etc....I enjoy my one word and I hope you try this tradition too....with that being said, enjoy today's message from YouVersion at bible .com and Be Blessed!
"50% of resolution-makers fail by the end of January and 9 out of 10 quit by March! So instead of resolutions, get One Word for the year…but be careful! It might just change you.
If you have the “get-it-done” mindset like we do, you’ve done your fair share of goal–setting at the start of each New Year. However, as time goes by, we felt frustration as we fell short on our ambitious plans. We tried to do too much and as a result, we didn't do anything very well.
In 1999, we started the simple discipline of developing a One Word theme for the upcoming year. That’s right—One Word. Not a phrase or a statement, just a single word. By focusing on just One Word we have experienced incredible life-change year after year. When you discover your One Word for the year, it gives you more clarity, passion and purpose for life.
The One Word exercise brings simplicity and focus. It cuts through the distractions and keeps us focused on what really matters. It has stretched us in all areas: spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, relationally and financially. God has transformed us through this exercise; God delights in life change.
There is a reason why we say, “Get One Word for the year…but be careful.” As soon as you discover your word, the battle will begin. It will initiate a process of teaching, developing, refining, and molding. God will use your word as a light and a mirror – illuminating your path and revealing things that need to change. It facilitates a great journey of highs and lows all designed to make you into the person you are created to be.
It has been our experience that God quickly reveals His plans for the year regarding your One Word. That word (be it a discipline, fruit of the Spirit, character trait, or attribute of God) will brand you for the year! So discover your One Word for the year and share it with others! It might just change your life!"
Gods Grace, Peace, Mercy, Love & Abundance Be Upon All Your Days I Pray!

Lunar eclipse in Gemini: Truth, lies and consequences
As the Sun opposes the Moon during a lunar eclipse emotional energy can get out of balance, too intense and many people start to get thrown off balance or upset without even knowing why. This occurs most often in family and close personal relationships. Eclipses can bring good or negative events depending on what it touches in your chart. Things can be eclipsed in or out of your life, and eclipses frequently bring surprises.
In astrology Gemini rules travel and trips as well as communication of all types, children and young people. Gemini, ruled by Mercury typically concerns all of these things, but especially communication. There is a good chance you may hear from family members, extended family members, friends and co-workers. This eclipse is about communication on many different levels.
You could feel an increased need or desire for love, but this eclipse can also increase tension with those closest to you. This will be more apparent if you feel you are giving more than you are getting.
This can however, be a time to work these issues out as Mercury makes an aspect to both Jupiter and Saturn that is both upbeat and positive, but it could also border on the serious without becoming too heavy or angry.
Venus opposite Uranus is a transit of change and uncertainty in relationships and finances as well as values. Unexpected events and change could cause uncertainty and anxiety. The other side of this energy can be geared toward trying something new, unexpected and exciting.
If you are currently in a relationship there could be a need for more excitement and freedom or unpredictable behavior. Some relationships may end but there would have been earlier signs and signals things are not on the right course.
This transit favors internet dating and a new relationship could seem exciting, but as with any Uranus transit, it may be short lived and would have to withstand the test of time.
This transit can manifest in other areas of life if you are not focused on a relationship. You could gain or lose money and friendships could be affected. This is a powerful transit indicative of risk taking.
There is a duality to Gemini and this sign is known for sometimes being two-faced. As the Sun is in Sagittarius opposing the moon, communication can be blown out of proportion or inflated.
A mutable t-square in astrology means we are dealing with the energies of three different planets at once. These planets are the Moon, Sun, and Neptune. Neptune is the planet of illusion, delusion, confusion and lack of clarity. This can create a scenario where the truth can be hard to discern, or we may be dealing with outright lies, sometimes mixed in with bits of the truth making things even more confusing. Gas lighting may be an issue for some.
In the US chart the eclipse opposes Uranus and we can expect to wake up to or hear news of unexpected events and Uranus can be explosive or shocking. This can also relate to information regarding public health and the coming of a Covid-19 vaccine and/or medicine, technology, the internet, and space or aircraft issues and technologies. It also marks the end of the Trump Presidency.
Vibes of the Week Nov 23-30
On Monday you are being guided to think about your future with your current partner. Does this relationship fulfill you? Are you compatible? Is this person "the one"? It's time to figure this out so that you can make plans for your future.
On Tuesday you arrive at a fork in the road. Is there something hidden along the path that you aren't seeing? Which path should you choose? Tune into your heart for guidance to be sure that you are making the best choice.
On Wednesday you really need to ground yourself and get your shit together so what you're working on an manifest. If your energy is imbalanced it creates a block so what you want can't reach you. Clean up your vibration by becoming the "King of Pentacles." The energy of the King of Pentacles is grounded, solid & stable. Operating from a place of groundedness helps you activate the energy of the King and become the ruler of your reality.
Thursday you might be feeling like everyone has a "one up" on you. This might make you want to go into Hermit mode and withdraw from those around you. Understand that feelings are only temporary and will pass. Perhaps you are being a little too hard on yourself? Remember its progress that's important, not perfection.
As the weekend rolls around you are being guided to be strong and stay centered in giving and receiving. Sometimes is tempting to be a giver and not allow ourselves to receive because we feel guilty doing so. However, this creates an energy imbalance which enables things to get even more off track. Help yourself out by allowing yourself to receive. Do not feel guilty for this. Allowing yourself to receive is not a sign of weakness, it's a sigh of strength.
Action Steps: Get real with yourself about your relationship this week. Where is it really going? Does this relationship serve you? Is it in alignment with what your heart truly desires? If not it might be time to pull the plug. If YES, then start making those future plans with your special someone.
Take your time making the decision about what path to take. Think things through and contemplate what will be involved if you make this choice. Tune into the heart space to receive true guidance in making this decision. Clean up your vibration and step into your power. Eliminate anything that brings you down or doesn't serve you. Ground yourself.
Don't withdraw from everyone if you're feeling left behind, this won't help you feel any better. Instead, remember why you started and affirm that progress is more important than perfection. Stay balanced in giving and receiving. Allow yourself to receive without feeling guilty.
Affirmation: “I tune into my heart for truth and guidance. I ask my higher self to show me what truly fulfills me and I take action accordingly."
Love, light & Positive Energy, Shannon Nicole
Why you can't let go of your past relationship
How I Healed My Anxiety Naturally
I actually stumbled upon them during a dark time in my life when I was experiencing obsessive anxiety. I would worry all day, every day. I had these thought patterns doing loops in my head, going round and round and it was effecting every part of my life.
At the time, I didn’t feel “safe” in my life. I didn’t feel a sense of security, so I worried all the time. When you don’t feel safe, it’s hard to relax because you’re in a constant state of fight or flight.
I was desperate to find something that could heal my anxiety because I couldn’t go on living like this any longer. I went to see a doctor who prescribed me an antidepressant. The pills ended up making me feel worse and when I returned to the doctor, she told me that these new “side effects” I was experiencing was my anxiety manifesting itself as new symptoms.
I was stunned. She was basically telling me that it was all in my head. She blamed the side effects on my anxiety but I knew in my heart it was from the medication. I stopped taking them and the side effects subsided but I was back to square one with racing thoughts and not having anything that could help me.
From there I started searching for natural and holistic remedies. I stumbled upon HeartMath one day, and when I tried their heart-breathing technique, I could immediately feel a difference. I closed my eyes and felt into my heart-space. I began to breathe slowly and feel a calmness begin to wash over me. Next, they ask you to activate “higher feelings” such as gratitude, compassion or appreciation. This brings your energy from a state of “dissonance” into a state of “coherence” which shifts your energy into harmony and balance. Learning this changed my life.
Before Heart Coherence, I was living in a state of constant dissonance. Dissonance means imbalance or disharmony. When you’re in this state, you are most likely in a state of fight or flight, so your body can’t relax. Your body is busy trying to fight off a bad guy or get the heck outta there. So as you can imagine, daily anxiety can wreak havoc on your life and you mental, physical and emotional health as well.
When I look back on pictures of myself during that time for my life I am almost unrecognizable. I wasn’t healthy. My skin looked awful, I had bags and dark circles under my eyes, and my hair had thinned out and become brittle. All of the stress and anxiety was prematurely aging me and you could actually see sadness and distress in my eyes.
HeartMath was a game changer. In these quiet moments when I would channel my breath and tune into my heart… I had glimpses of relief. This was a start! I had finally found SOMETHING that could help me, and the best part was, it’s natural and FREE.
I began to make HeartMath a part of my day to day life. Anytime I was feeling anxious, I would find a place where I could be quiet and still and focus on my breath. I would place my hand on my heart and tune into the heart-space. Next, I would take some slow, deep breaths and activate higher feelings. I would begin to think about my daughters and FEEL all the love and appreciation I had for them in my heart. I would think of all the ways that I am GRATEFUL for them and how happy I am to be their Mommy. Next, I would feel feelings of compassion for them and their journey on this planet… and after about 5 minutes I would notice myself feeling more calm, centered, harmonized and balanced.
I loved the way that felt so I kept it going to see how euphoric I could become. As you go deeper and deeper into a state of coherence, you feel better and better. But you have to remember to set aside time to practice this and be diligent about it every day, because this practice works best when you do it consistently.
Each day as you bring your energy into harmony and balance your energy builds stronger and gain a more powerful momentum. And eventually you UPLEVEL into a new higher state of vibration. Your “baseline” shifts, from a dominant low vibration into a higher vibration and your life starts to flow better. Each day as you bring yourself into harmony, you are operating from a state of alignment and when you are in alignment, everything you want starts to flow with ease.
I am forever grateful that I found my way to HeartMath and eventually HeartMath found its way to me, too. I recently had the honor of taking HeartMath’s online course called “The Add Heart Facilitator Program.” In this course, you learn all about Heart Coherence and how the brain and heart interact and affect your energy in your day to day life. You are guided to journal about different ways you can "Add More Heart" to your life.

Chinese Fortune Stick Reading of the Day
Its meaning is obscure -just worthless nonsense.
You cannot turn a stone into a polished mirror;
So do not waste your time, save your labour instead.
TRADITIONAL INTERPRETATION
You are being foolish in attempting things beyond your ability. Although you craft a thousand schemes, all of them will probably fail. Opt for patience rather than rashness, and try to be content with your lot. Be careful of your own safety, as a serious accident may occur soon. This is not a good time to commit to relationships - let things cool off for awhile, and think about them calmly.
REFLECTION
The image of trying to polish a stone in order to make a mirror is very common in China. Traditional mirrors were made by polishing brass or copper, but, whereas these can be brought to such perfection as to afford a reflection, an ordinary stone cannot. So with you as well. Do not expend time and energy trying to make one thing into something it cannot ever be. Allow each to be true to its own innate nature, as Chuang Tzu the sage so often said. To force one thing to become what it is not is to fail twice.
Each day I sit down, take up the cup of sticks and ask the same question, “What does the Keen community need to know or hear today?” I shake the cup until a stick (or 2 or 3…) falls out. I then post the stick number and the meanings for you to get what you can out of them.
The sticks themselves are a form of I-Ching. There are a total of 64 sticks in the set that I use* with a poem and small interpretation/story to go along with each stick. The poems, meanings and reflections are meant to be read and (as a good friend of mine once said) marinated in. In our culture, we’ve grown accustomed to getting instant gratification. In other words, we’re used to everything being given to us with little or no work on our parts. These readings are the exact opposite of that type of attitude.
Chinese Fortune sticks are meant to make us slow down and reflect on what is being said. As each sticks’ meaning can be profoundly personal to each person who reads them, it’s more important for you to read them rather than have someone give you a watered down version.

Pushing Buttons!
Pushing Buttons
Faery Blessings:
So many people instead of standing up for themselves, simply allow others to walk over them, for fear they will no longer be in the person's lives....the thing is if they are meant for you they will understand and stop the behavior and sometimes they are undergoing a healing and not meaning anything they are saying and speaking from a damaged mind kind of place....as long as you know they love you and are healing, take it with a grain of salt, but if not then stand up for you...and probably for many others down the road and in the future with them...with that being said, enjoy today's message from dailyom .com and Be Blessed!
"When somebody continues to open our old wounds on purpose, they must be told that their behavior is no longer welcome.
We've all had our buttons pushed to the point where we feel we can't take it any more, and chances are, we've all pushed somebody else's buttons, with or without knowing it. The button pusher may not be conscious of what they're doing, but in the end the buttons belong to us, and we are the ones who must deal with what comes up. The more we take responsibility for our own feelings and reactions, the less tender these buttons will be.
We've all had the experience of having someone snap at us, seemingly out of nowhere. This happens when we unconsciously push a button in someone else we didn't even know was there. This can happen with a complete stranger and sometimes with a person we've known and been close to for years. We ourselves may have a relationship with someone whose buttons we secretly like to push. Buttons are just soft spots that have been touched one too many times, and they symbolize some pain that needs to be acknowledged and healed. This may be a wound from childhood, or some recent trauma, that we haven't adequately tended. Whatever the case, when our buttons get pushed, the person who most needs our attention and caring is us, and blaming the button pusher only distracts us from finding a true resolution to our suffering.
At
the same time, if someone continually opens our wounds so that they
never have time to heal, we are well within our rights to set a boundary
with that person.
Compulsive button pushers, who seem to find pleasure or satisfaction in hurting us, are not welcome in our personal space. In the end, knowing where our buttons are enables us to do the work necessary to heal. Freedom comes when we deal with the pain behind the button, thus disconnecting our automatic reaction to being pushed."
Gods Grace, Peace, Mercy, Love & Abundance Be Upon All Your Days I Pray!
