Meaning In Knowledge
Sagittarius Daily Horoscope
You could feel more informed about the world today, and this may be due to your inherent desire to uncover new ideas. Your excitement about learning may be something that can propel you forward into new realms of understanding--not only facts and information but also the meaning behind your existence. Giving yourself time to search out the wisdom that your soul seeks today might help you see the overall significance of your life. Finding ideas that open you up to new insights may infuse your search with an even greater intention to gain a deeper understanding. If you can take a few minutes to reflect quietly on what you would like to know more about, you may find that your intuition could guide you to resources that can bring clarity and further enlighten you about your place in this life.
Realizing that our quest for knowledge underlies our desire to search for our purpose in life inspires us to bring new meaning to our learning process. If we only thought of gaining knowledge as an accumulation of facts and figures then we wouldn't be putting our abilities to their best use nor would we be enthused by or able to integrate new ideas into our understanding of the world. By seeing that there is so much more to your learning today, you will be motivated to dig deeper into your knowledge base in order to gain a better grasp of the true value of and reason for your life.

Changing Roles
As We Ebb and Flow through Life
by Madisyn Taylor
We all change throughout life trying new and different things, but the core of who we really are remains the same.
As we bob and weave with the ebb and flow of life our roles change, but our true self remains constant. As spiritual beings having a human experience, we go through many aspects of humanity in one lifetime. Living in the material world of opposites, labels, and classifications, we often identify ourselves by the roles we play, forgetting that these aspects shift and change throughout our lives. But when we anchor ourselves in the truth of our being, that core of spirit within us, we can choose to embrace the new roles as they come, knowing that they give us fresh perspective on life and a greater understanding of the lives of others.
As children, we anticipated role changes eagerly in our rush to grow up. Though fairy tales led us to believe that "happily ever after" was a final destination, the truth is that life is a series of destinations, mere stops on a long journey filled with differing terrain. We may need to move through a feeling of resistance as we shift from spouse to parent, leader to subordinate, caregiver to receiver, or even local to newcomer. It can be helpful to bid a fond farewell to the role that we are leaving before we welcome the new. This is the purpose of ceremonies in cultures throughout the world and across time. We can choose from any in existence or create our own to help us celebrate our life shifts and embrace our new adventures.
Like actors on the stage of the world, our different roles are just costumes that we inhabit and then shed. Each role we play gives us another perspective through which to understand ourselves and the nature of the universe. When we take a moment to see that each change can be an adventure, a celebration, and a chance to play a new part, we may even be able to recapture the joyful anticipation of our youth as we transition from one role to the next.
