AVOIDING vs. SURRENDERING TO YOUR LINE OF GEOMETRY

Walking in the light:

Being aware of how challenges and contradictions are a necessary part of ones environment. The opposing forces create balance that supports growth and development. Difficulties are your best teachers, motivating you to expand your perspective and understanding. This is an environment of diversity, complexity and finding strength along those themes. Learning to navigate these stormy waters results in great transformation. You are being encouraged to confront the obstacles and find creative solutions instead of giving up and avoiding these energies. Set back is not a failure, but an opportunity for development of wisdom. The correct people for you are the ones that are not compatible to you. Never join a group based on common interests but see where you can bring your individuality and authenticity to the table.

Walking in the dark:

Giving up your authenticity in order not to create friction. Feeling nervous about diversity and choosing to blend in rather than stand out. Feeling overwhelmed by the presence of conflict and opposition in your environment creates a lot of fears and pressures, emotional instability. Your decisions are impulsive and reactions unpredictable. Following a rigid, familiar track gives you an illusion of protection. Taming and holding in your fire, creates frustration and triggers sudden outbursts, impossible to control. An overall feeling of blockage and not knowing how to successfully navigate the obstacles.
