Show up for yourself

As the spotlight of the Full Moon begins to slowly wane, the intensity of the Sun gains momentum as it shifts into its favorite sign, Leo. Now that things look so vastly different than they did before, it may be easier to come as you are, so to speak.

The time to be silent, the time to toe the line and the time to hide among the crowd is done. You see, when you realize the extent of your own autonomy, you discover that it’s not so easy to push you around.

When you don’t believe in something, you’ll believe in anything. At some point this week, you’re being encouraged to put your hand on your heart and make a truly “right for you” choice.
Sure, it may ruffle some feathers. Sure, you may get some push back. If that happens, then ask yourself what are their motivations for doing that? Chances are, it’s more about their own insecurities than it is about you doing what you want to do.

Show up for yourself. Show up unapologetically. Also, keep in mind whether you do or you don’t, some people are going to say things about you regardless. The question is, do you even care?
