Matters of Survival
Sagittarius Daily Horoscope
A need to be constructive can be your driving motivation today as you immerse yourself in household duties and routine chores. Even if you normally shy away from such duties, you may find yourself enjoying your efficiency immensely. The more productive you are, the more comfortable you will likely feel in your home environment as a small amount of decluttering can go a long way toward opening up the energy of a space. Today can be the perfect day to begin a belated schedule of spring cleaning-both in your home and inside of yourself. You may find that you benefit from heightened energy levels once you toss out emotional baggage that no longer serves a purpose in your life.
The care of oneself and one’s home can seem insignificant in the face of all those momentous outer-world tasks we must face each day. Yet our continuing well-being and, to a lesser extent, the security we derive from knowing we have somewhere nurturing to return to at the end of our labors help us better navigate the complexities of modern life. Comfort and survival should always be among the items listed on our agenda of priorities, since we cannot effectively cope bravely with worldly challenges without them. When we take steps to ensure that we are happy, healthy, and taken care of, so many unrelated concerns seem to fall into place without our having to exert ourselves in any measurable way. Today your decision to focus on household and personal matters will make your life both easier and more rewarding for quite some time.

Mountain Meditation
Finding Your Pinnacle
by Madisyn Taylor
Meditating near a mountain can be both powerful and grounding in a most profound way.
Throughout history, humankind has stood in awe of mountains. The strength and sturdiness evident in the rocky crags and smooth slopes of peaks around the globe have from time immemorial inspired creativity and kindled courage. Mountains have been venerated by many cultures, which worshipped great summits as gods and sacred beings. In their looming presence, humanity has seen power, steadfastness, and resolve. Yet you needn’t live near a mountain to tap into this vast energy of commanding grandeur. Conversely, since mountains are as unique in form as human beings, your locale may exist under the unwavering gaze of a small mountain without your knowing it. As you practice mountain meditation, the power that lurks in the heart of all mountains will flow into you while their essential beauty reminds you that you, too, are a creature of the earth.
If there are mountains in your area, plan to spend some time enjoying the peaceful embrace of Mother Nature, which can be a potent meditation aid. Likewise, grasping a rock or stone in your hand will enable you to easily tap into earth energy. If you are prevented by circumstance from visiting a mountain, however, begin by visualizing yourself at the base of a towering summit. Holding a rock can be helpful to tune into mountain energy. You may find yourself picturing a steep and majestic snowcapped peak or a lush, tree-covered mass that rises gently from the earth. Sit or imagine yourself sitting at the mountain’s base and spend a few minutes simply coexisting with it. When you feel tranquil, express your intention to commune with your mountain and ask to receive its energy. Project your consciousness onto the mountain’s peak, and look down upon the flatlands over which it stands guard. Send light to the flora and fauna that call the mountain home. You may discover that you ! feel wonderfully immense and unshakable as you delve deeper into the meditation.
Finally, ask the mountain to serve as a guide and give it your sincerest gratitude. If you have literally visited a plateau or summit, pass time with the mountain by camping, hiking, or picnicking upon it. Or, if your journey has been a spiritual one, use your imagination to survey the sights, sounds, and scents of your mountain. As your explorations progress, you will become ever more grounded, growing gradually into your personal power. When you are finished meditating with mountain energy, give thanks to this strong and powerful energy for sharing time with you.
