“For it is in giving that we receive.”

St. Francis of Assisi

Underlying Theme for All the Signs: Although nothing is permanent, what is built on a solid foundation is likely to be secure. This week requires a self-check-in to determine if the cornerstone of your life is sound and to examine the motivation behind your experiences. Events currently playing out are the culmination of karma you’ve accrued in this lifetime and also previous incarnations. Regardless of any discomfort, you’re reminded that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be for your highest good and are continually offered the opportunity to learn, discover, make choices, create connections, and either evolve or devolve. Perhaps the situation you now face comes from the need to compensate for an earlier deed and a lesson surrounding honor, generosity, compassion, and integrity. This is a week to go out of your way to help and do good for others no matter how inconvenient. There’s always abundance available to you, but a scarcity mentality suggests assessing whether your actions are based on what you can give or what you can gain.
