Gulp! Health issues, financial instability! Obstacles…yes! Unpredictable situations, indeed. By March we had this novel virus coming into existence and changing our lives, shutting things down… in the United States and World Wide. In May, we witnessed the brutal murder of George Floyd at the hands of ignorant police. This set into place (and rightfully so) civil unrest in his name as well as many others who have been victims of racial injustice. Now, September we still contend with the virus and it’s impact, the important but divided discussion on social policy, and nature has unleashed a wildfire season that has destroyed many areas and caused a regional shutdown.

It goes on to say…

“…During the first half of the year, you will have more free time, and you will be able to rest and make plans for the future. You will consolidate the relationship with your life partner, and you will spend more time with the kids.” (found on: ChineseZodiac)

Yes, that rings true here. Funny how many times I wished, AND WISHED, and WISHED SOME MORE for free time to rest and spend with my girls. I did not think it would come in the form of a pandemic literally closing things down.

But that is the strange part, I could see the “what” but I had no control over the “how”. Actually, I had no plan for how to create more time. This slowing down allowed me the space to regroup and re-discover what I find important.

May I start to create my plans for the future, just as stated in the horoscope! I will not stand back and “wish for” the world to offer me another gift…

One way to get started quickly is to start with your why. Why are you here? What is important to you? When you discover your true NORTH the how creates itself.
