See what the stars have in store for your sign.

We are in the middle of some amazing expansive energies with the Sirius gateway wide open.

Some of us are feeling old wounds surfacing, some of us are feeling a lightness and instant manifestations of our thoughts and feelings and some are feeling both simultaneously. While this energy may feel confusing, it can also feel explosive at the same time. Enjoy this ride for the next couple of days, however you can, without worrying too much about it of course. Be in the flow and enjoy the now to the fullest.

Cosmic Wisdom: Make the magic happen by remembering that you are the magic.

Sagittarius Horoscope

Open your heart wide and you will find just the right words and the right intentions to set things straight for yourself and your loved ones, Sagittarius.

Cosmic Wisdom: Understand that we are all part of the same tapestry playing our roles and that’s all that matters in the moment.

Capricorn Horoscope

There is more to be revealed, Capricorn. Wear your heart on your sleeve and perhaps give others a chance to wear theirs too? Lead by example and make notes on how the situation just changes for the better or ceases to exist. Pay attention to what is being said between the lines, or better still, try reading what is left unsaid to gauge a situation and then do something about it. You are going through a huge awakening, so allow yourself to expand in whatever ways you are being led to it.

Cosmic Wisdom: Have fun and remember life is not meant to be all work.

Aquarius Horoscope

Practice cosmic mastery today by reminding your sweet ass that you are a magical being that comes straight from Source, Aquarius. You know your way forward, so instead of getting the first step perfectly aligned, begin trotting along and get things right along the way. Allow your goal oriented side to do the work while you allow your intuitive, creative side to also bask in the moment and have fun.

Cosmic Wisdom: When you do what makes you feel good, the cosmos blesses you with more of what makes you feel even better.

Pisces Horoscope

If you have been trying to micromanage, Pisces, today is the day where your Unicorns step in and remind you that sharing your voice and your authenticity doesn’t really mean that you must have things only your way or done a certain way. Going with the flow and still choosing to be true to yourself may actually be the real deal. Leave the fluff behind and hold on to what is close to your heart for dear life.

Cosmic Wisdom: Rest a bit and think things through to know what is most important for you.

Embracing the Art of Going with the Flow

By Rosanne Santos

Dear Ladies,

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, we often find ourselves overwhelmed by the constant demands and pressures that society places upon us. It's easy to get caught up in the need to control every aspect of our lives, but what if we could find a way to navigate the ups and downs with grace and ease? Learning to "go with the flow" could be the answer we've been seeking.

Going with the flow doesn't mean relinquishing control or becoming passive; rather, it's about finding a balance between taking charge and accepting the uncertainties that life presents. It's an art that can empower women to embrace change, adapt to new situations, and find peace amidst chaos. Here are a few valuable insights on how to cultivate this mindset.

1. Trust the Journey: Life is a continuous journey, filled with unexpected twists and turns. Embracing the unknown and trusting that things will unfold as they should can alleviate unnecessary stress. Instead of resisting change, see it as an opportunity for growth and self-discovery.

2. Practice Mindfulness: Staying present and mindful allows us to fully experience each moment without attachment to outcomes. By focusing on the here and now, we can better appreciate the beauty of life, cultivate gratitude, and respond to challenges with clarity and composure.

3. Embrace Flexibility: Life rarely goes exactly as planned, and that's okay. Cultivating flexibility allows us to adapt to unforeseen circumstances and find alternative paths to our goals. Remember that a detour doesn't mean failure; it may lead to new and exciting opportunities we never imagined.

4. Release the Need for Control: While it's essential to take charge of our lives, there are aspects beyond our control. Recognize the difference between what you can influence and what you must surrender to the natural flow of life. By releasing the need for absolute control, we open ourselves up to greater possibilities and serendipitous moments.

5. Seek Balance: Going with the flow doesn't mean abandoning our dreams and aspirations. It's about finding a harmonious balance between taking action and surrendering when necessary. Allow yourself to dream big, set intentions, and work towards your goals, but also be open to adjusting your plans along the way.

6. Embrace Self-Compassion: Going with the flow means being kind to ourselves, especially during times of uncertainty or setbacks. Accept that life is a continuous learning process, and it's natural to encounter challenges. Practice self-compassion by celebrating your progress, learning from mistakes, and treating yourself with love and respect.

In conclusion, embracing the art of going with the flow empowers women to navigate the complexities of life with resilience, adaptability, and an open heart. By trusting the journey, practicing mindfulness, and embracing flexibility, we can find a sense of freedom and peace amidst life's unpredictability.

Remember, life is a river that flows with its own rhythm. Let us learn to ride its currents, allowing the gentle ebb and flow to carry us forward towards new horizons.

Interesting Fact

Cilantro Tastes Like Soap to Some People Because of Their Genes

Numerous food enthusiasts relish the addition of cilantro as a garnish on their fish, salads, and soups, but for some, consuming this herb is akin to biting into a bar of fragrant soap. This contrasting experience appears to stem from genetic variations. A study conducted in 2012 revealed that individuals possessing specific olfactory receptor genes are more likely to detect cilantro's aldehydes, which are compounds commonly found in household cleaning agents and perfumes. While this aversion affects only about 20% of the population, the resulting taste is evidently unpleasant enough to elicit passionate reactions, as evidenced by the popularity of Facebook's "I Hate Cilantro" page, boasting over 26,000 likes at the time of writing.
