Auras come in all sorts of colors, shades, and combinations—and you can find out what yours is looking like by having your aura photographed or taking a quick aura color quiz. Auras are constantly changing, but they are usually dominant in one or two colors. If yours features any more, it might just qualify as a rainbow aura.

Inner Journey: OVERWHELMED?
“Life does not happen to us, it happens from us.”
— Mike Wickett
Are you easily overwhelmed? If so, answer this question in your journal:
While growing up, what did you experience too much of?
Experiencing too much of something leads to feelings of overwhelm. When we’re young, overwhelm can lead us to believe that we are not capable or that we are not good enough. These are power issues.
Awareness of when we are feeling overwhelmed can help us go inside, claim our power and change our experience of any situation.
“When we know that the cause of something is in ourselves, and that we (ourselves) are one of the few things in the universe that we have the right and ability to change, we begin to get a sense of the choices we reallydo have, an inkling of the power we have, a feeling of being in charge… of our lives, of our future, of our dreams.”
— John-Roger and Peter McWilliams
“Be thine own palace, or the world’s thy jail.”
— John Donne

Daily Wisdom

Self-Determination
“Human beings are not so constituted that they can live without expansion. If they do not get it one way, they must another, or perish.”
-Margaret Fuller, 1845
We’re somehow created with this built in system that spurs us on to growth. Sometimes we can recognize it in our desires. We can’t help but go after something we really want. And we learn along the way. The challenges we face help us to figure things out, and to grow on many different levels. We need to move our muscles to stay in shape, or they wither away without use. Our spiritual muscles need a work-out, too. Luckily we have the instinct to search for meaning, to look for wisdom
-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Daily Tarot: The Pope
Today can be easy if you don’t try to swim upstream. Do what’s expected of you (and what you need to do, anyway) and don’t rebel, at least not outwardly. You’re given plenty of authority to convince people to help you if necessary, and there should be few if any arguments. Be calm, respect authority, and you’ll automatically be given the respect you deserve, plus more. Get a lot done!
