Sagittarius Daily Horoscope
You may wonder today how you can lend a hand toward helping others expand their awareness. Perhaps you feel inclined to share your insights that come from your wealth of personal experiences. Doing this could help someone in need of guidance on how to move forward on their path. The things you could share might possibly bring them to a new level of understanding. Think about sharing your wisdom freely today, especially if it pertains to life matters where you feel blessed, knowledgeable, or grateful.
When we wish to help others expand their awareness, we can do so by sharing our insights and experiences with them. Personal growth is a product of experience. When we share our stories with others, we are contributing to their personal development. Our experiences give them additional insights that can help illuminate their personal journeys. We may even save them the time and effort of making the mistakes we've already made. Our experiences can serve other people's growth as much as our own, and we contribute to the transformation of the human collective every time we transform ourselves. We also can see how far we've come down our paths, when we see how much more we now offer to others. Allow others to drink from your fountain of wisdom today, and you will be doing them an invaluable service.

As the Earth Allows the Rain
Sitting With Feelings
by Madisyn Taylor
Taking the time now to sit with your feelings and acknowledge them will save you much distress down the road.
It can take great courage to really sit with our feelings, allowing ourselves to surrender to their powerful energies. All too often we set our feelings aside, thinking we will deal with them later. If we don’t deal with them, we end up storing them in our minds and bodies and this is when anxiety and other health issues can arise. Denying what our bodies want to feel can lead to trouble now or down the line, which is why being in the thick of our feelings, no matter how scary it seems, is really the best thing we can do for ourselves.
One of the reasons we tend to hide or push aside our feelings is that we live in a culture that has not traditionally supported emotional awareness. However, as the connection between mind and body--our emotions and our physical health-- becomes clearer, awareness of the importance of feeling our feelings has grown. There are many books, classes, workshops and retreats that can help us on our way to emotional intelligence. We can also trust in our own ability to process what comes up when it comes up. If sadness arises, we can notice its presence and welcome it, noting where in our bodies we feel it, and allowing ourselves to express it through tears or a quiet turning inward.
When we simply allow ourselves to fully feel our feelings as they come, we tend to let them go easily. This is all we are required to do; our feelings simply want to be felt. We often complicate the situation by applying mental energy in the form of analysis, when all we really need is to allow, as the earth allows the rain to fall upon it. As the rain falls, the earth responds in a multitude of ways, sometimes emptying out to form a great canyon, sometimes soaking it up to nourish an infinitude of plants. In the same way, the deeper purpose of our feelings is to transform the terrain of our inner world, sometimes creating space for more feelings to flow, sometimes providing sustenance for growth. All we need to do is allow the process by relaxing, opening, and receiving the bounty of our emotions.
