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.
