Carmella

It all started with a conversation with Carmella, an astrologer in April 2008. Carmella opened my eyes to my creative, intuitive, feminine spirit that I kept locked away in a box deep inside. She opened my secret box and sent me on my path to reconnect with what my heart wants based on how the stars aligned on the day I was born. I wonder what the stars would say today and this is my version of "Emily's Astrological Update".

You are going through a major life transition right now and the next year will bring many changes. The road will be rocky and unstable, but if you trust your creative intuition, you will find comfort, stability, and joy. You crave structure and financial stability and unfortunately, I can not give this to you at this time. Money will come in and out of your life over the next year and I can not give you the financial stability that you desire until the end of the year. Perhaps this financial stability will come in the form of a new job opportunity that shows up.

You are highly creative with many talents. You are smart and have the potential to achieve great financial success using your creative intuition. However, you struggle with a lack of confidence and belief in your creative talents. In order to find the comfort, stability, and joy that you are looking for, you need to learn to trust yourself and lean into your fear of not being good enough. 

You are meant to be given things in life and you need to learn to accept the help of others. People will come into your life over the next few months that can help you find new opportunities that will allow you to pursue your creative passions. You must walk through every door that opens and be open to what shows up. Each door will lead you closer to the job that will twinkle your toes and inspire your creative spirit.

Your karmic challenge is to learn how to trust your intuition and your heart. You will be tested over the next year by people and opportunities that will lead you farther away from your path to happiness and comfort. You must resist temptation and your need to please others on this journey. Now is the time to lean into the discomfort and trust your instincts, even if it seems unconventional or different from what others tell you to do.

If you can follow the unconventional path, you will find the job opportunity that gives you all that you are looking for - balance, variety, creativity, financial security, and the ability to help other people achieve success. The journey will be easy if you can shed your old ways of thinking and start following and trusting your heart. The journey will feel painful and filled with resistance, if you choose to continue to let your fears force you to pursue something to fit in order to please others. Over the next year you need to lean into the discomfort and do something each day that scares you. This will build your self-confidence and lead you to a life filled with happiness, comfort, and stability.

"Emily's Carmella Update" may be a fiction of my imagination, but I hope down to my toes that if I follow Carmella's advice, I will find my happiness. So, my first task is to do something each day that scares me.
