We just had a new moon in the sign of Capricorn on the 9^th, and our current situation may be asking us to grow up a little and create some structure in our life. Capricorns are known for being workaholics, adhering to structure and rules. There is a need there to exercise caution and discipline, making them the go-getters and natural entrepreneurs of the zodiac. This sign longs to build something of substance and if you’ve been having a difficult time doing that for yourself, now is the time to get it done. The work that’s being asked of you is one of a consistent basis, not just when the mood strikes you, so take a lesson from our Cap friends and get organized post haste as well as getting into the habit of doing one thing every day towards your goal. Essentially, you’re being asked to take a leap of faith and put your life together in a way where you can succeed going forward. Those with Peter Pan syndrome (cough, cough…myself) are probably feeling the burn right now and the extra push. I think some of us might be afraid of structure because it means our free time will be taken away, our creativity might be squashed, or our freedom to do as we wish may fly out the window once we’ve scheduled our day out. I’m here to tell you, as a fellow Pan syndrome sufferer, that there’s nothing better for allotting freedom in our lives than making sure we have proper structure. When you’re able to take care of your most important things first, then you’re not stressing out when it comes to your personal time, since stress is the real squasher of creativity. When you have a solid plan to move forward, then you know the steps to take to create and manifest your dreams and you can stop wasting time asking yourself which way to go. When you’re structured and disciplined, the moment you reach your goals, you’re ready to take on more work and become more successful because you’ve trained for it. Maybe you’re worried your dreams will be a reality and you’re not sure if you’re ready for that yet. With Mercury Retrograde going on right now, it helps you to take your time anyways. Please don’t stop yourself from taking action because of the fear of failure or success. You choose every step of your path and both failure and success are vital ingredients to getting things done—if you aren’t experiencing some failure, then you’re probably not putting yourself out there enough! Fear comes up when you perceive that a situation or person will have power of you. Stop those thoughts, remind yourself that you’re in control here, and give yourself the gift of discipline. Not only do you deserve it, but it’s the only way your going to become successful at what your trying to build, be it a relationship, family, business or project. Don’t delay, Lovelies! It’s time to come up with a plan and execute it every single day.

Go ahead and pick a card for above (pick one, two or all three cards–pick what you’re drawn to). The stone you see in the picture above is malachite. Malachite personifies the deep healing green of nature and represents the innate beauty of flowers, trees, roots and plants. It manifests a deep Devic green which rules the material plane. It is a Stone of Transformation, assisting one in changing situations and providing for spiritual growth. It heals on physical and emotional levels, drawing out impurities and stimulating the Life Force throughout the aura and body.

If you chose card #2: Your message this week is about Temperance. Your card goes on to say that temperance remind us to be mindful of any decisions we make at this time. There may be a need for balance, moderation, or reevaluation of personal goals. In the grand scheme of things, and after everything you have been through, it is important to connect with the larger scope of your life. What gives you a sense of purpose and joy? Temperance also remind us to be patient, loving, and caring, in order to successfully manifest our hopes and dreams. This card may also be an indication that you should bide your time with any long term goals, and advance gracefully and methodically with your plans. Harmony comes with moderation in all things, mind, body, and spirit. Spiritual growth comes from learning the big life lessons along the way, through a myriad of experiences–both positive and negative. Have you acknowledged and celebrated all of your achievements?

My hope for you this week is that you face what fear is holding you back, and you resolve to put your ducks in a row. Not one person in this world would do anything if they lived by the thought of, “What if it goes wrong?” Ask yourself how it will go right and do what’s needed to get your life in order so you can put proper attention on what matters most.

This is your week! Make it an amazing one 🙂
