Life is abundant. With the correct attitude of expectation and focus, one can inevitably draw deeply upon the resources that are all around, and receive rich blessings.

To do so it may well require constant renewal of one’s relationship with others, a willingness of the individual to change or refine anything and everything in their nature and circumstances, as an exercise in self-quickening.

There is an incurably romantic aspect to humankind that is brought to life in relation to others, time after time, notwithstanding frequent and repeated disillusionment. This surely speaks to us of hope and optimism.

Seeking out an unattainable ideal and vision of self-fulfilment, one can go through unending social renewals, forming and then breaking the ties of association with fellows, ever moving on towards the allurement of a dream.

There is no limit to the horizon of one’s appetite for new experience. It is as fundamental a motivation as any other; it is creative, liberal and far-sighted.

Through this process, the integrity of one’s spiritual self is made known, since it is entirely necessary to become self-aware and sensitive to the needs and constraints of whatever and whoever we meet en route.

Unbridled desire, cupidity and self-exaltation are never far away, and can bubble up to take prominence at any time, yet – in all innocence – we seek only to consume and be consumed within the intimacies of involvement with whatever life offers us.

Sagittarius 7

The facility of humanity’s intelligent resourcefulness is so often misspent by engaging in unbridled fancy and fascination with trivia. Our capacity to think things through, to consult inner experience and intuition and to find imaginative solutions, is so often wasted on new ways to make the same old mistakes.

That special ability we have to know how to respond imaginatively to challenges can be directed towards the greater questions so that we come to see how, exactly how, all things are interconnected by the process of mutual exchange – that all of the various aspects of life have their own contribution, and mutuality is the universal currency of survival and abundance.

On the human level, it is tact that awakens this comprehension, since through it we look for ways to show appreciation of the value that another person brings. It is much more than a simple courtesy or charming elegance, because it raises both giver and receiver.

The constant practise of this art will unfailingly generate the inner understanding that all things are inter-dependent, that in every case there is symbiosis between the individual and the world.

On a personal level one then develops the efficient means to serve oneself and others simultaneously and accordingly grow in ones influence to shape events. To serve the world, to serve a neighbour and to serve oneself are therefore equivalent and mutual activities.

We see a fallen leaf differently now – more tactfully. It is not a waste product of the tree’s summer need for the sun’s energy; it has become food for the earth and a source of joy and inspiration for those touched by natural beauty. Our sensitivity develops so that we always keep in mind the final purpose of a situation, a person, or thing and, by so doing, offer greater recognition.

Somehow this unswerving fidelity, to honour everything and everyone for their ultimate goals and meanings, creates a sense of being able to adapt spontaneously to all that comes along, trusting in our own sense of how best to serve the needs of this moment simply by being who we are without censorship or external reference.

Libra 25

At the start of something new, nothing is known for sure because nothing has occurred upon which to base a plan or a decision. The basic axioms need to be set first, before prudent advancement is really possible. We must clearly determine the specific area of interest and rules of involvement or else later there will be uncertainty about fundamentals.

As new horizons are perceived, it is certain that our revised viewpoint will at first contain unresolved qualities, because such is the nature of all things. Each new idea becomes known only when its counterpart is considered, whether to push forward or give way, whether to opt for this or for that.

Alone, the mind is an untrustworthy organ of understanding so the heart must also be engaged if our values are to be expressed sincerely. When we are moved most strongly by the heart, then such activation can be reckless, assertive, courageous and purposeful, yet will realize only harmony and joy.

Thus at the beginning of any adventure, what previously was only dormant potential is now vibrant with emotion and purpose: its motion generates vibration. There is excitement. This is life itself. Things change position; there are separations and reformations, endings and new configurations.

Focusing this turbulent life force is the awesome task of a mighty will, operating through a precise vision, to produce a laser beam of intent. This power of will shapes uncommitted energy into the exact form that reflects this vision: what you 'see' is what you get, and seeing is active not passive.

If we lose concentration, then the result is clouded and shadowy and requires the corrective processes of refinement. This is the process of feedback, which can teach humility and help us to develop awareness of our interpretations; also it binds us into considerate relationship, so that character can be smoothed out.

Despite errors and pains, faith is never lost and another new beginning is always guaranteed. The constant restating of original blessing is evidence of innocence and purity, and shows that hope is eternal; faith is a birth-right.
