Continued from page 11 the previously unseen. Just like the Grand Canyon, water gradually eroded from the top of the high plateaus to carve out the depths we see today. Water in its basic form is nothing more than the plain, pure and simple liquid miracle of Hydrogen and Oxygen. It is the giver of life and regenerator which all ancient cultures depended upon and the sustenance we still require today. It is the holder of our essence and belonging. It brings us together and can shear us apart, simply through force of its being. The power of water, drop by drop, can start out small and end up being something incredible if you allow it to flow. On the other hand, water can also be destructive - lashing out in waves and tearing down anything in its path that isn’t stable and substantial. In other words, if you don’t have a solid foundation, water can certainly destroy the flimsy, makeshift facades it finds as it charts a new course. And, if you’ve buried something deep and want it to remain hidden, this is definitely not the time to work at protecting your secrets. The high water this month is intrusive and will unearth matters and emotional concerns that need to be dealt with in the bright light of day. If you don’t properly prepare to deal with the carnage and debris that will churn to the surface, you will find yourself on the defensive, rather than remaining confidently on the offensive. Of course, it all depends on how you choose to deal with the water when it comes your way. Ride the wave and you’ll be fine. You might go under a few times, but you’ll quickly bob to the surface. And with al this energy in flux, it’s an important time to take care of yourself. Don’t forget to set aside a little “me” time or just decide to give yourself a pamper party. Even if you think you can’t treat yourself because you’re “low” on funds, that’s not even an excuse. All it takes is a warm bubble bath, a few candles (just remember to replenish the emergency ones), some soft music and maybe a sparkling beverage in a fancy glass. Close the door, tune out the rest of the world and you’re all set. After all is said and done, commit to making one change this moon cycle to help you move closer to your goals. Step up your game and be ready to use this new energy to your advantage.
