AVOIDING vs. SURRENDERING TO YOUR LINE OF GEOMETRY

Walking in the light

Embracing change and transformation is essential. Learning to be adaptable and flexible through all the situation that are out of your control. Change is the only constant in your life. Being brave and confident and not afraid to let everything go when needed, is what will truly free you. Your correct environment supports curiosity, experimentation and risk taking. It's pushing you outside of your comfort zones and teaching you how to turn mistakes into lessons. You embrace guidance and wisdom from others. It's important to stay open to other people and seek advice when necessary. Criticism is the best tool you can receive as it is what makes you try again. It helps you to remain the student. In your correct environment you are innocent, childlike and don't take life too seriously. You understand that perfection is not your key for success.

Walking in the Dark

Resistance to change and fears make you impulsive and hasty in your decisions and actions. You can only transform chaos by adapting to it. Tendency to blame others and not accepting their advice or guidance, due to seeing assistance as personal failure. The pressure to control life can bring you a lot of negative feedback that hurts your feelings. When you are not walking your line of geometry, you are walking the path on which it's you against the world, repelling other people and all that comes from them. By seeing it all as a personal attack, you isolate yourself. You refuse to learn, and may think you already know best. There is no moving forward before going back and trying again.
