The Big and Little Dipper
The Big Dipper is one of the easiest star patterns to locate in Earth’s sky. It’s visible just about every clear night in the Northern Hemisphere, looking like a big dot-to-dot of a kitchen ladle. As Earth spins, the Big Dipper and its sky neighbor, the Little Dipper, rotate around the North Star, also known as Polaris.

Inner Journey:
A NEW VIEW
A friend shared this moment of awakening. She was moaning, “I never get anything done.” Her companion replied, “Perhaps you never get EVERYTHING done.” Oh… of course!
A shift in perspective can bring both understanding and release.
“Besides learning to see, there is another art to be learned — not to see what is not.”

A Note from the Universe
Think not of “how,” but only of what you want in terms of its end result.
The end, in thought, combined with baby steps in its general direction, will literally create the necessary circumstances, serendipities, players, epiphanies, ideas, and stories necessary to bring about your desire.
The hard part is done for you.
Your part is the easy part,

Daily Tarot: Death
There’s a sense of security in what is old, and with something new coming into your life it’s natural to be a bit afraid. Give this new situation a chance and give yourself time to get comfortable with the new conditions. It could be as simple as getting your hair cut or changing your glasses frames, but it could be much bigger than that.
