Dear ,

Worthiness has two facets or sides of the coin – feeling worthy and feeling unworthy. As do all things in duality. Feelings of worthiness can be general (an overall feeling of being unworthy) or they can be specific to certain areas – for instance, regarding finances, love and other matters.

Worthiness also has two pathways for it’s energy: outgoing and incoming. You might feel worthy to receive but not certain about what you have to offer to others. Or conversely you might feel unworthy about receiving but not about what you have to offer others.

Instead, you might feel confident in neither, struggling with them both. Or you might feel confident of both and have no issues in your life about worthiness. These are ways of experiencing the very human matter of worthiness. Where are you regarding worthiness? (more…)

Sometimes direct communication and swift action are what is called for. Many people – and often those who are spiritually inclined – have trouble with this. There can be uncertainty about turning the other cheek or when to be kind instead of direct. It can be hard to know when to speak up and when to simply speak out instead.

There can be confusion about when to pause, meditate, allow, or wait. For nearly everyone, this can be confusing. Avoiding the pitfalls of over-hesitation, procrastination and indirect communication is a topic that deserves attention.

It’s especially timely right now as we head into an astrological phase that’s prime for action. August through October and even into November are good months for planning, implementing, putting ideas and projects and ourselves forward. There’s lots of support for beginning, following through on and completing things. It’s a great time to complete unfinished or procrastinated tasks. And it’s the right time to act as things that come up rather than allowing matters to drift.

It’s time to learn to handle both inner and outer processes directly and more immediately. This is especially true where there is a block, or a troublesome matter. Neither procrastination nor perfectionism are your ally right now. Instead default to direct communication and swift action. There is tremendous power in combining direct, thoughtful communication with more immediate action. (more…)

Dear Anne,

With Venus aspected as it is right now, there is a heightened interest in love relationships, a greater yearning for loving partnership as well as more committed friendships.

Noticing this, a topic came to mind about certain aspects of personal mastery that are essential for attracting the right relationships: Trust, Loyalty and Constancy in Loving. If you would like to have more satisfying friendships or deeply satisfying personal partnerships, here is a great personal mastery to explore and integrate further.

Certainly you long to receive trust, loyalty and commitment in loving, you hope for friends and partners who possess these qualities. Do you ask where you stand in your integration of these as well? It is a good question to ask because what you embody of course affects what you value and attract.

One thing to be understood here is about your ability to love others and yourself. It refers to an aspect of commitment that I’d call constancy in loving. First regarding your constancy and trustworthiness in intimate relationships and in friendships. And second your constancy for the Big Love of all – your own expression of the love that flows THROUGH all things. As you begin to value and integrate emotional loyalty (which is constancy,) you become able to offer emotional support and respect. (more…)
