“Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds.”

George Eliot

Underlying Theme for All the Signs: The frequency with which you fail to follow through with action as promised, regardless of how seemingly trivial or insignificant, has a direct correlation to the energetic frequency of the kinds and caliber of people you attract. In Hebrew, the word dabar means both word and also deed signifying the intrinsic bond between the two. A lack of responsibility in living up to your word links you to all the other agreements you’ve broken in your life and to all the other people who also don’t care about breaking agreements. If your desire is to experience safety in connection, you must offer your own reliability as a sign of respect, both for self and others, to instill trust in relationships.

Money doesn’t make the man; if your idea of success extends beyond just the material, you understand that successful people don’t break agreements. And if they do, they hold themselves accountable to make amends. This week, trust in your vision and act accordingly while remaining true to what you most value and desire. Perhaps you’re illuminated by a wisdom that rises up inside that you’re set forth on a path to innovate—one that may include breaking the chain of untrustworthy behavior and tying up loose ends.

If you’ve been let down by others, you have determination and an unstoppable spirit that enables you to co-create with Spirit all that you desire to magnetize opportunities. A spark has the possibility of turning into a flame, and depending on your level of commitment to honor your covenants, the smallest matters have the potential to become better than you expected or more than you bargained for.

Be sure to look at your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs for an expanded perspective. You can click any card to enlarge the view.
