"To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his God.” ~Thomas Macaulay “Horatius”
The first few months of 2018 have brought quite the shift. This has been a dense year, one that has seen us more committed to change. I’m not sure about you, but I continue to observe the weightiness of my life. Time has become my most valuable resource, which is why I intend to use it wisely, and for a greater good.

This month marks an important juncture of our 2018 journey. We can breathe a bit. We can catch our bearings as we get used to a new normal that began almost immediately during the Full Moon that occurred on the first day of this new year. Whatever has peaked, culminated, or ended since then can now be fully grieved. We can courageously address wounds that linger, as we adjust and prepare for what must happen next.
I applaud you, dear reader, for being so committed to your growth over these past few short months. There has been a steep learning curve, indeed, and we have all been challenged and tested. The next leg of this journey now requires that we pause and reflect on our strategy forward, or maybe even double down on our current efforts.
In the meantime, remember that steady wins the race. We are simultaneously tearing down and building anew, which can feel unwieldy at best, and downright scary at worst. But unwieldy and scary are the most fitting markers of success. If it has been easy; if you have not put forth the work; if you are still in control, you have some ways to go.
Check your horoscopes to see what’s in store this week ahead, and don’t forget to read for your Ascendant sign too.
