“When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability… To be alive is to be vulnerable.”

Madeleine L’Engle

Underlying Theme for All the Signs: This week, the practice of patience and moderation is a healing influence that brings you into alignment with your higher purpose. To be vulnerable with your feelings requires great courage and great compassion. Being brave enough to do so cracks the hard shell of protective armor you’ve built to keep you isolated, separated and in fear of others and releases the exhaustion of that heavy burden and its effect on your health. The opening you create puts you in touch with the parts of your soul that can serve to help you move past the pain of rejection or abuse that may have caused you to shut down. If you harbor fears surrounding survival and your existence, know that all of your needs are met even though the evidence of this truth may not be visible as of yet in the external world. While you work through the wounds, use discernment about who should remain a relic of the past for you to maintain a sense of well being. Others are in or about to enter your life to reconnect you with the softness of self through the honest exploration of your heart.
