Acting on yesterday’s choices, we strike a balance through collaborative efforts in the business or personal realms, or both, with a partner.  Being forceful in action is not required; gentle give-and-take today furthers achievement of your goals.  Experience a smoother work day as you continue to explore the right fit.  Keep cool and keep moving forward.  In your meditation today, don’t hesitate to ask the Universe for what you are truly due or worth.  Energy work aimed at balancing the chakras and/or mind, body and spirit and will improve body health when done today.  A spiritual partnership with another might be just the thing to make expanding your horizons more of an exciting adventure.  Taking the time to care for yourself spiritually and emotionally is essential to enjoying spiritually successful relationships with others.  Your rebalanced self is Square One.

This card has everything to do with how you are bound spiritually to the material, and so you must look beyond superficial appearances and go deeper into the truth and meaning of a situation.  If you are feeling restrained, know that you always hold the keys to your freedom in your hands.  Don’t give up hope.  No matter what your situation is, you always have options to choose from.  First, don’t let other people tell you that your options are limited.  If you come to that conclusion, be sure that you are coming to it on your own.  Regardless, it will be crucial to remember that you can free yourself from whatever restrictions are holding you back, at any time you choose to do so.  You may have the feeling now that you are not in control of your life.  Sometimes, this happens as a result of your own actions, but more often as a by-product of inaction.  So, take action, take whatever steps you can to give yourself the feeling, however slight, of being in control.  Even if that is merely making a choice on what you are going to have for dinner.  Small steps are important, too.  If you’re feeling trapped at work, consider whether or not the trade-offs are worth it and choose to act.  You are not trapped unless you choose to be trapped.  Same approach with your relationships.  Take steps to keep the magic alive, or choose to end the codependence and take a breather.  Keeping a positive mindset is of the utmost importance right now.  Positive affirmations are important and will benefit you.  Take a look at who you surround yourself with … are they upbeat and positive, or overly critical and fault-finding people who nitpick you to the point of you feeling depressed?  Take stock and take action.

Today is a great day to stroll down Memory Lane and allow nostalgia to be the lens for looking back on how things used to be.  This isn’t about getting stuck in the past; this is just a wistful reverie.  When we were younger we felt more creative in the moment … so allow that same creative fire infuse your day, whether you’re at work or at home.  Dream with your partner … what kinds of goals do you both want to achieve to manifest the future you envision together?  But, if you’ve run across your Old Flame, think long and hard about whether to re-start up this emotional relationship:  Exes are exes for a reason.  If you’re thinking of investments to make, look to things that are retro, nostalgic or that appeal to children.  Money can come to you today through someone from your past or through inheritance.  On some matters, like your health, where you’re experiencing problems, answers might be found when you retrace back to your own childhood to examine where the roots of your physical problems might lie.  Our emotions are very much tied to our physical well-being, you see.  Perhaps these insights will lead to discussions with family members about the physical problems that they have faced.  Spiritually, ritual can be helpful to you now.  You may find beauty and meaning in recreating some of the spiritual rituals that you knew as a child.  Updating and reinventing your old traditions will serve you very well at this time.

The number 2 is about balance … and after all the changes that are manifesting in your life at the moment, balance is exactly what is required to get back on track. Your partnerships with an-other … whether friendships, romantic, business … are doing all right, but how much are you willing to give and take to maintain the balance? You’re not always right and everyone, to some degree, has something to offer in a partnership. Keeping communications open ensures strong partnerships. If you’re waiting on others for decisions to be made that affect you, remain patient and don’t push. Watch your finances and make sure you know where you stand money-wise to the penny: balance your books. Meditate on how you are feeling about the things/people in your life. Remember that balance begins with how you’re feeling about yourself, so give yourself the Time to deal with your emotional self first.

This sign continues to show you the nature of energies that came in yesterday with the Wheel of Fortune. Changes are definitely here today.  Change is inevitable; struggle is an option. (This is a great mantra to shift you into a more upbeat mindset.) Today, you might find that folks you previously relied upon are no longer available to you … and these changes you might find difficult to accept. But, you must move on and move forward, Friends. You were told a couple of days ago that you reap what you sow (Seven of Pentacles). Continue what you started yesterday and keep your head up … and remember that all things happen for a reason.
