Exploring Your Creative Range
Sagittarius Daily Horoscope
A need to express yourself through creative means can come over you today, inspiring you to seek out ways to introduce art into your experience. If you do not consider yourself to be an artistic individual, this can be a wonderful time to prove yourself wrong. Conversely, if imagination tends to play a large role in your experiences, you may be inspired to channel your energy into unfamiliar forms of creative expression. You will likely find that your efforts yield the most satisfying results when you explore the scope of your creative abilities in a nonjudgmental and supportive fashion. Today may even be the day you widen your repertoire of talents and aptitudes.
Each of us is capable of creative achievement, provided we are willing to explore the scope of our imaginative impulses through constructive actions. Many people, fearing that they are not at all creative, shy away from artistic or inventive pursuits because they do not want to face the possibility of failure. When we have accepted that our individual creative talents will not necessarily be those we expect or those enjoyed by the people around us, we are ready to embark upon a joyful journey of discovery in which we immerse ourselves in a wide range of inspired activities. As we determine where our imaginative aptitudes lie, we can begin integrating these creative proficiencies into our everyday experiences. Your innate inventive and artistic talents will reveal themselves today when you make an effort to explore your creative range.

Intuition Made Visible
Pendulum Motion
by Madisyn Taylor
Using a pendulum is a simple way to clarify messages from intuition or inspiration.
Using a pendulum is a simple way to clarify messages from intuition or inspiration. With its minimal construction of a weight, or bob, allowed to swing freely from a piece of cord or chain, it gives us a visual understanding of the subtle energies that influence us. When we ask a question using the pendulum, we may receive answers from our own intuition or from our spirit guides or angels. The process, known as “dowsing” or “divining,” is also useful to check our energy centers or even to find lost articles. Whether it is our energy or the whispers of our guides creating the motion, the pendulum helps us better understand the secret language of spirit.
Your pendulum can be anything that feels right to you: a crystal pendant, wood or metal ornaments, a seashell, an item with sentimental value, or even an acorn on a string. The key is that it must be balanced so it can swing freely. Before and after each session, you may want to purify your pendulum, perhaps by using salt water or burning sage or incense. Focus on becoming still and choose who you would like to answer your questions, your higher self or your spirit guides or guardian angels. By asking questions whose answers you already know and watching the corresponding movements, you can learn what “yes” and “no” look like. Your pendulum may move forward and back for “yes” and side-to-side for “no,” or perhaps a variety of circular motions will be your indicators. For some people, movement comes easily as they are more in tune with working with energy, but do not give up if you do not get movement right away. Determining a neutral state, which may be stillness or another ! distinct motion, can help avoid confusion as well. Once you are familiar with your pendulum, you can use it to check the energy of a room, or use a pendulum over your chakras to see if they are blocked or open.
When we make a practice of listening to our spiritual guidance, we find it more accessible to us in general. The use of a tool like the pendulum can only help us gain mastery in this understanding, allowing us to transform our lives into playgrounds for manifesting our gifts and dreams.
