“You are your own authority.” That’s been swimming in my head and coming out of my mouth lately. It doesn’t mean you aren’t interested in learning more or interacting with others. It just means you trust yourself.
- You trust yourself to attract the information you need, as you need it.
- You trust yourself to be able to FEEL your way through.
- You trust yourself to make sound decisions.
- You trust yourself to do your best.
- You trust yourself to receive what you’ve asked for.
When we try to tune ourselves to the will or beliefs of others, we always end up confused and frustrated. It’s an ever-morphing target, even if you choose a single individual to please. When we manage our own tuner–step and up claim our rightful role being in charge of ourselves–life becomes easier and feels better. You don’t have to find outside reassurances. You can look to get your own clear signal.
Of course, the flip side of that is true as well. You have to stay the hell out of everybody else’s realm of authority. But hey. It’s a whole lot easier to love and appreciate them all if you don’t consider yourself responsible for managing their lives, either. You can love them without trying to fix them. ♥
Next Week in Tarot

Here, we’ve got the Princess of Pentacles reversed (aka the Page of Pentacles) along with the Queen of Swords from the Star Tarot deck.
Next week’s outlook–the reversed Page–speaks of misconstructed messages and partially understood facts. There’s a hint of information but it’s incomplete and potentially out of context.
All will come into clearer, more actionable focus when you apply the Queen of Swords’ energy to utilize her superpower: cool, clear logic.
One of my strongest Queen of Swords keywords is “discrimination.” Be discriminating about the information you ponder upon as it definitely colors your perceptions! Don’t be in a hurry to act. Let clarity guide your movements over outside stimulus. Let the facts flesh themselves out and make decisions based on what makes the best, most logical sense to YOU. The Queen may listen to counsel but she doesn’t require consensus. She just requires a clear signal.

Armchair Astrology: Venus Rx
User note: That title means I’m not a real astrologer and I don’t play one on the internet.
I’m feeling this Venus Retrograde (October 5 to November 7) fairly loud at the moment. Think topics surrounding love and money you may well neigh have believed long dead resurrected. Personal zombies, just in time for Halloween. Are you excited yet?
This is what my psychic soundtrack is playing. Coincidence? Har!
I do find Venus retrogrades a very good time to review where your money has been going and make sure the flow matches what you most value.
And that’s kind of what we’ve been talking about the whole time, isn’t it? Focusing your attention in ways consistent with what you most value and letting the rest of the world do the same. Your job is getting your signal clear.
How you doing on tuning that signal?
p.s. If you want help tuning, give me a holler for a personal session.
