Sagittarius, the sign of the Seeker, of Horizons, of Laughter. Where is it in your chart? 🏹 No other sign can sell you the dream like this one. Happy, go-lucky, and bold, Sagittarians believe in themselves, their vision, their purpose, their opinions. They're boisterous, cheeky, and fun, and you can hear their belly laughs from a mile off. No wonder it's the number one sign in Showbiz! 🏹 All this momentum and positivity ensure they always land on their feet. Ruled by the Greater Benefic, Jupiter, they're considered lucky. My view is that they make their own luck, by going for things unafraid of risk or failure, by loving and believing in what they do, and by seeing the good in everything. And if something goes wrong, they shake it off and move on to their next adventure. 🏹 Adventure - herein lies the shadow. Sagittarians must be free at all times. No restriction, no boss, no partner, no deadline, no law enforcement can tie them down for long. Yes, this is also the sign of the Con Artist per excellence, according to FBI records. It's that twinkle in their eyes, that conviction when they speak, that infectious enthusiasm. Think of those televangelists who rip people off with one great scheme or other. 🏹 Ever heard of "overpromising, underdelivering?" That is Jupiter in action for you. We all love and want more of it, but it then leaves you scratching your head - Was that "it"? And btw, have you noticed how (allegedly) these guys are always right and always know best...? Jupiter is a humongous ball of gas, after all... 🏹 So this month promises to be MUCH jollier 🙏 than of late, as you would hope for for this season. Yet, watch out for the following themes, likely exacerbated by the imminent eclipses: 🏹 - One’s Own Truth vs. Facts - Willingness to listen to and integrate new perspectives - Freedom vs. dogmatic viewpoints, intolerance, prejudice, and belief systems - Ungrounded wanderlust and travel restrictions - Over-promising and under-delivering - Speaking without gathering the facts - Being overly philosophical or getting lost in theory - Arrogance, insatiability and greed - Lasciviousness 🏹 So, go out there and have FUN this month. You've earned it! 💫 https://www.instagram.com/p/CH470tIKvjj/?igshid=xvpzs4vd34dr

Did you know that Ronald Reagan famously used astrologer Joan Quigley throughout his time in office to time his speeches and actions? His unprecedented success gained him the nickname of 'Teflon' president, as he always landed on his feet. Have you ever used electional or event astrology in your life? What for and how did it go? Certain moments in time are more auspicious than others. Events like starting a new job, launching a business, starting a holiday, buying a car, celebrating your wedding, and signing a contract all carry the astrological signature of the moment they were 'born'. Imagine being able to plan when these events take place, such that you always get the best outcomes or experiences out of them! This is what electional astrology can do for you. It is the oldest known form of astrology, and works really well. https://scintillando.com/products/elections #astrology #astrologer #sparkastrology https://www.instagram.com/p/B_cROv3HIKw/?igshid=uj09k6uaff7i

The Secret to a Meaningful Life is Meaningful Relationships. The meaning of life is to make other people’s lives more meaningful. . If you ask people what their most significant sources of meaning in life are, they, perhaps unsurprisingly, list their close relationships. Studies show that our loose ties to others can be potent sources of meaning, too. That’s because one of the pillars of a meaningful life is a sense of belonging—which you can cultivate with your partner, children, and closest friends, of course—but also with your newspaper vendor, local barista, and even a stranger on the street. These micro-connections are sources of meaning we can all tap into to lead deeper and richer lives. . When people feel like they belong, according to psychologists Mark Leary and Roy Baumeister, it’s because two conditions have been satisfied. First, they are in relationships with others based on mutual care: each person feels valued by the other. When other people think you matter and treat you like you matter, you believe you matter, too—like Jonathan and the vendor. . Second, they have frequent pleasant interactions with other people. Those moments can be joyful and fun, like when a parent and child play, or more emotionally neutral, like when a content couple holds hands while watching television together. But the key is that they happen on a regular basis and are not negative—again, like Jonathan and the vendor. . Belonging isn’t a fixed trait of relationships; we can each build belonging with another person by doing certain things. One excellent way is to make sure we’re responding to one another’s bids, as the psychologist John Gottman calls them. In relationships, people are constantly making bids for affection. For example, let’s say a couple is sitting at the breakfast table and the wife comments on an interesting headline in the newspaper. At this moment, she is making a bid for her husband’s attention and hoping that her husband responds by acknowledging her warmly. .

Life is a marathon rather than a sprint. Yes, you only fail if you give up. Do you agree? Don’t Quit! (author unknown) "When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When the care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t you quit. Life is weird with its twists and its turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about When he might have won, had he stuck it out. Don’t give up though the pace seems slow, You may succeed with another blow. The distant goal is nearer than It seems to a faint and faltering man, Often the struggler has given up When he might have captured the victor’s cup; And he learned too late when the night came down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out; The silver tint of the clouds of doubt; And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit, It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit!" https://www.instagram.com/p/B-PziRoKKov/?igshid=1hki5vns0dg07

#Advice by the University of Rochester Medical Center 🙏 #⁣⁣⁣Image by the brilliant @heyamberrae of journalyourfeelings.com 🙏🙏🙏 Journaling for Mental Health, from UniRochester University One of the ways to deal with any overwhelming emotion is to find a healthy way to express yourself. This makes a journal a helpful tool in managing your mental health. Journaling can help you: Manage anxiety Reduce stress Cope with depression Journaling helps control your symptoms and improve your mood by: Helping you prioritize problems, fears, and concerns Tracking any symptoms day-to-day so that you can recognize triggers and learn ways to better control them Providing an opportunity for positive self-talk and identifying negative thoughts and behaviors When you have a problem and you're stressed, keeping a journal can help you identify what’s causing that stress or anxiety. Once you’ve identified your stressors, you can work on a plan to resolve the problems and reduce your stress. Keep in mind that journaling is just one aspect of a healthy lifestyle for better managing stress, anxiety, and mental health conditions. To get the most benefits, be sure you also: Relax and meditate each day. Eat a healthy, balanced diet. Exercise regularly—get in some activity every day. Treat yourself to plenty of sleep each night. Stay away from alcohol and drugs. Use your journal to make sure you follow these guidelines daily. How to journal Try these tips to help you get started with journaling: Try to write every day. Set aside a few minutes every day to write. This will help you to write in your journal regularly. Make it easy. Keep a pen and paper handy at all times. Then when you want to write down your thoughts, you can. You can also keep a journal in a computer file. Write whatever feels right. Your journal doesn't need to follow any certain structure. It's your own private place to discuss whatever you want. Let the words flow freely. Don't worry about spelling mistakes or what other people might think. (Cont. 👇) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-MTO66CS6t/?igshid=umn4f5dyz639

Astrology is unparalleled to gain perspective on what's happening or happened to you. But why does #perspective matter? Read piece from thriveglobal.com below: # How many times have we had an opinion on something, been convinced that we were right, only to have someone else turn up with previously unconsidered information or introduce a different viewpoint, thus prompting a whole new way of thinking? # Being ready to listen to another perspective is important. It keeps our minds flexible and adaptable and is an important part of staying youthful and tolerant of what else is happening in the world. # When we share how we feel about something and discuss our approach we’re expanding all our minds. We’re giving an indication of how our thinking works, our perspective on life. # Some people’s automatic default is negative. They’re convinced that things are bound to go wrong, seem to always anticipate the worst. Others think differently and are more positive and optimistic. # Our outlook pre-determines how much we let external factors influence us. That’s why having a good perspective is so important. # If we regard something as scary then we’re bound to behave in a more measured, cautious, apprehensive way. Feeling nervous or afraid can deter us from trying too hard. We protect ourselves by not stepping too far from our safe place. Yet we could instead treat setbacks as minor hurdles or learning points, which will often result in us hardly noticing them. We won’t think twice as our concentration flows into looking for options or solutions in order to keep going. When we feel confident and hopeful about a situation we’re more relaxed and focussed on a positive outcome. There’s a saying that if you expect something to be good or bad, hard or easy, guess what – you’re right! We set in place a framework based on how we see things working out. # Our mindset automatically seeps into our approach to life and influences how we handle relationships, what we expect from people, what we anticipate happening. That mindset then impacts on how others treat us. (Cont. 👇) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-MQhctCvJ7/?igshid=1vggxfhktilmj

At these difficult times, a repost from brilliant @heyamberrae: "How do we support those we love when they’re going through a hard time? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It took me many years to learn that I don’t need to solve or fix the situation, or take on their emotions. When someone I love is navigating difficulty, I can offer a listening ear, meet their situation with compassion and empathy, and let them know that I’m here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here are some suggestions for what to say—and *not* say—so those closest to us feel seen, heard and loved. None of these are firm templates; they’re invitations for you to take and leave as it serves you in having more wholehearted and loving conversations.✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.s. Which script resonates most for you? I’d love to hear 👇🏼" https://www.instagram.com/p/B-CDKW-qoPx/?igshid=1usardr03q9ty

With Social Isolation becoming the new normal, Gaia finally gets a chance to heal at a time when it's close to breaking point for humanity. It is a MUCH less polluted world without cars, planes, fossil fuels, and unnecessary factories. This Aquarian transformation is unsurprisingly for the greater good. As is often the case, things have to get worse before they get better. As well as Earth's healing, people are showing more compassion and caring for the vulnerable. They're showing unity of spirit at a time of physical distancing. Let's do our best and be our best during this tremendous behavioural re-birth we are going through. One thing is sure - the world WILL BE a better place by the end of it! Love and peace! Marilena 🌈🌈🌈 #coronavirus #why https://www.instagram.com/p/B91LG3poUq8/?igshid=10kkpzf4xyc6w

Water is integral to everything on Earth. Water nourishes life. It sustains and connects people, animals, plants, the air we breathe, the land we walk on. It also underlies our needs and our emotions. It makes us who we are as humans. Today's lunar eclipse is in watery Cancer. This is no accident. Water moons are the most emotional, intuitive, and sensitive of the zodiac. The sky is dark at the moment. With Saturn, Pluto and the South Node all conjoined in Capricorn, life feels heavy, and a little scary. Life can be harsh. Many are feeling pulled and stretched in the current climate. Where do you choose to stand in all this? We are all human. We are all vulnerable. We all want to be loved. As the gateway to the soul, Cancer is about reconnecting with our hearts.  It's about remembering that there's a heart beating in all of us. So in the moments when all seems lost and overwhelming, think of water, of how it flows around and within us, of how it nourishes life on Earth. There is a lot of good in this world. And water connects it all. Happy Eclipse! May 2020 bless you with love, health and happiness. #lunareclipse #eclipseseason #capricorn #FTS #YOUGOTTHIS #namaste #water #cancerlife #spirituality https://www.instagram.com/p/B7JvSZQiVbg/?igshid=wn9zsypuqgsv
