This morning I woke up at 5:55 and according to Angel numbers and numerology, this has to do with dealing with change. It was a reminder to remain open minded, and look at life like an adventure rather than awfulizing about the future. My daily tarot warned me about being stuck in a place of fear. I’m struggling with Canada Post, through a fault of my own, I sent out a package without a working tracking number.(I thought it was a trackable package and turns out it’s not). First instinct is to be really hard on myself about it, second instinct is to refund the customer, and hope they still get their illustrated chart. Stuff like this would stress me out for a whole day. However I know this falls under the things I have to work on within myself: 1. the tendency to sacrifice everything for someone else, 2. the negative self dialogue that follows if I make a mistake. My therapist pointed out this is a survival mechanism for people who lived in a toxic environment where there was a lot of negative feedback growing up. Internally some trigger in my head thinks it’s a great idea to beat them to the punch. (Them being something or someone that doesn’t exist anymore, because this is now, and the adult me is in charge). So, now it’s a good idea for the mature me to step in and manage this, by reminding myself that stuff happens, the customer may still get their chart, all could end well in the end. I have 57 four star reviews on Etsy. Life will go on, and I can make the best of a bad situation by learning about it. 1. account for more expensive postage in my price point. 2. take a picture of the work so at least there is a digital copy, 3. take a picture of the package before I send it out and 4. insure all my work, even my drawings when I send them out. Live and learn, even at the age of 60.
ASTROLOGY NOTES:
The moon in Scorpio enters into the last quarter phase, it opposes Uranus and sextiles Mercury today, meaning that it’s a good time to really hunker down and challenge yourself today with new concepts and new ideas. There will be some vicissitudes along the way, so brace yourself, and try to go with the flow. Adjust your sails so that you can ride with the wind when navigating a stormy sea. The last quarter Moon phase is a good time to plan ahead, and work on manifestation, before you plant the seeds of growth during the New Moon, Feb 9th.
