“We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.”

Joseph Campbell

Underlying Theme for All the Signs: A significance on the long-term future stimulates you to step back and observe what you’ve built through dedication and hard work. You can claim ownership of the mastery you’ve acquired and inherited treasures of knowledge and experience thanks to all you’ve been through.

This week, that desire for security motivates discussions surrounding taxes, inheritance, insurance, savings, business expansion, or a major life transition. Trust your guardian angels to guide you toward the best path as they lead you in a new direction. This path may be different from the one you envisioned, but faith in the process will gift you with access to a wealth of possibilities and the most beneficial experiences for you and others. Practice gratitude for your run of good fortune, but remember that the focus is not so much on what is transient, but on that which lasts beyond the tangible. This awareness encourages more meditation, kindness, and a conscious effort to understand your higher self and what is truly meaningful.
