“Courage is the power to let go of the familiar.”

Raymond Lindquist.

Underlying Theme for All the Signs: If you’re looking for answers, perhaps it’s time to explore your history and the seeds from which your evolution has sprouted. Among other things, your personality is influenced by a blend of karmic tendencies and characteristics inherited from family background. Some of these are gifts that serve as a foundation and boost your inherent talents and abilities.

However, some of what you’ve inherited may be holding you back from what you’re fully destined to become. Situations suggest the need to examine learned and conditioned behaviors that inhibit your growth and maturity. This might include a tendency to be harsh, opinionated, controlling, or overly dramatic. Perhaps it’s the habit of playing victim, selfishness, or self-sabotage that is woven into the fabric of your story. Despite all efforts to be something different or not at all like your parents, closer examination reveals some of these traits mirrored in yourself that keep you playing out old, familial, hurtful patterns.

But a gardener tends to what has been planted; carefully weeding and pruning to cultivate the best in bloom. If you’re seeking to be more fruitful, the focus is on getting grounded and using time more productively. This week, use resources wisely, whether they are finances, opportunities, or those willing to help in your endeavors. As you work with others, you must keep it real—truthful about what you’re doing, honest about the challenges you face, and willing to grow.
