Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, November 15th

Emotional insecurities and financial worries lurk in the shadows of our awareness today, yet we could waste energy by attempting to avoid our fears. Although the sensitive Cancer Moon forms a series of uneasy aspects that highlight the differences between our thoughts and our feelings, we are still rather optimistic about the future. We’re eager to leave the angst behind since we’re already anticipating tomorrow’s enthusiastic Mars-Jupiter trine.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Patience may be considered a virtue, but it’s not an easy one for someone as impulsive as you. Thankfully, you’re more receptive to learning about the benefits of waiting when the Moon is in tenacious Cancer. You will be able to enjoy the present moment even more if you don’t push too hard. There’s no need to struggle today; a current issue will reach fruition when it’s ready and not necessarily when you think it should.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your ruling planet Venus is flying high in idealistic Sagittarius these days and her quintile to imaginative Neptune today can lure you into believing that your fantasies are true. But you might have a gnawing suspicion that something is off and may be hesitant to make a commitment based solely on your feelings. Listen to your internal voice of reason because it offers a healthy balance to pursuing unrealistic dreams.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Relationships are at the forefront of your thinking today as the emotional Cancer Moon misaligns with thoughtful Mercury in your 7th House of Others. However, it’s not beneficial to automatically place someone else’s needs ahead of yours. Of course, unselfish acts of love can be emotionally transformative, but not if you’re avoiding an important issue of your own that needs attention now. Taking care of yourself first enables you to give someone special a more meaningful gift later.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your actions are motivated by your need to make good feelings last longer now that the Moon is in your nurturing sign. But you might feel as if everything is moving along too quickly for your taste, prompting you to find ways to slow down. Remember, time is on your side; be patient and pay attention to what’s happening in the present moment rather than trying to manipulate events in order to get what you want.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may feel like the eye of a hurricane today; even if storms of change are circling around you, you still manage to remain calm and continue on your path. But now you might need to make several adjustments to your plan as you respond to the fluctuating circumstances. Even if you get caught up in the craziness of the moment, your positive attitude will help you stay on track.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your social life seems to be in turmoil today as the cautious Cancer Moon moves through your 11th House of Friends. However, you may be overly distracted by your fear of not fitting in. Rather than trying to alter your behavior to meet other people’s expectations, consider curtailing some of your superfluous activities. A bit of rest and relaxation will have a more positive impact on your life than a few hours of meaningless chatter.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your ruling planet Venus reminds you of the importance of your dreams today as she creates a magical quintile with elusive Neptune. Sometimes it’s not healthy to get lost in fantasies, but now they can be a source of solace and even inspiration. However, don’t expect all your wishes to come true; instead, seek satisfaction in what’s real while also honoring your ideas about an ideal future.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your feelings are growing in intensity now, but others might not notice anything different about you. This is not because of a shortcoming in anyone else; it’s a result of your skill in hiding your feelings today. Keeping quiet for another day may be long enough to give you the time needed to untangle your complex desires. It’s better to make a rational decision than one based on an impulsive reaction.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The security-conscious Cancer Moon challenges you to balance your wanderlust with your current need for security. You may have exciting ideas about your possible adventures during the next few weeks, but you might also be feeling quite exhausted. Suddenly, staying home could sound more appealing than going anywhere. Instead of trying to reconcile your conflicting desires, make enough room in your schedule for both rest and play.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your social and career ambitions are extremely important to you, but sometimes it’s useful to set your goals aside for a while. Your ruling planet Saturn forms an otherworldly septile to mental Mercury today, enabling you to retreat and enjoy yourself instead of worrying about getting ahead. It’s okay to forget about your obligations for just a little while. Your responsibilities aren’t going anywhere; but you’ll feel rejuvenated and better equipped to tackle your work after you return from a playful excursion.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are comfortable with your logical approach to life, even if others think you’re emotionally aloof or just plain weird. Ironically, you might not be able to avoid your feelings today, even if you prefer to present a cool and carefree image. Don’t resist the strong emotional currents as your changing moods draw you out of your head and into your body. Showing your vulnerability could actually strengthen your connection with someone you love.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’re in touch with your feelings, yet you’re quite reserved today when it comes to expressing them. Maybe you don’t want to burden a friend with your current situation or, perhaps, you’re fearful of being rejected. Either way, inaccurate assumptions could stand between you and your happiness. Don’t fall victim to your own negativity now. If you muster up enough courage to ask for what you need, you might be pleasantly surprised with what happens.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Today you will become a digger. Dig, dig, dig. That’s all you’ll think of, for months. You will discover an amazingly large diamond, about 27 feet down, and will be fabulously rich after that. Not that you’ll give me any credit, of course. Ingrate!
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
The phrase “return your tray tables to the upright and locked position” will cycle endlessly through your mind, today. It’s not serious. (But you should probably consider cutting down on the honey-roasted peanuts.)
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Happy Frog Day!! Let’s hear it for our little amphibious friends!
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Someone will tell you today “Boy, what a girl goes through to send her brother through proctology school.” Despite being forwarned, you won’t have anything to say.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Today you will read a small booklet titled How To Make A Fortune in Frog Farming, which will change your life.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Today is an excellent day to wink slyly at people, just as they are turning away. When they look back, smile innocently.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Have you ever considered adopting a new life as a “mountain-person”? Living in the vast mountains and forests of Alaska, hewing an existence from the unforgiving wild Nature of our ancestors? Nope, me neither.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Good time to consider capitalizing on the wave of 70’s nostalgia that is sweeping the land. Why not try making shag carpeting? At least you should sit around in your beanbag chairs and discuss it.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
You will join the ranks of the hipster cognoscenti. It’ll be fun at first, but later you’ll start secretly craving casseroles, and it will eventually become such an intolerable pressure that you’ll abandon your pale, pierced friends with the clever haircuts and move to Minnesota.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Someone will soon approach you with an idea. Stay well clear of it.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Today you will deliberately annoy people by standing too close to them when waiting in line. Tomorrow: standing just slightly too far away.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
You’ll have a brilliant idea, but nobody will take you seriously. You should be able to will them over with pure logic, however. There must be millions of bonsai enthusiasts out there – how many of them wouldn’t want an itsy bitsy chainsaw? Maybe if you start off with the little teensy shovel and wheelbarrow?

Daily Motivator for November 15th – Great courage

Great courage

You have great courage. Use it.

Whenever you feel fear, you are also feeling your potential for courage. Go ahead, feel the fear, and then let that courage of yours spring to life.

The fact that you can feel the fear means you also have the courage to get beyond it. Otherwise, the fear would serve no useful purpose.

Put that fear to good use by allowing it to ignite your courage. Put that courage to good use by utilizing it to move toward positive, meaningful objectives.

Feel the fear and know it means you have the courage. Learn from that fear and then step forward with all that courage.

The beginning of courage feels like fear. Follow through on that feeling, let the courage come, and with it you will achieve great things.

— Ralph Marston

Daily OM for November 15th – Your Comfort Zone

Your Comfort Zone
Create a Soft Place to Land

Create a soft place to land in your home a refuge from the stress of the day.

Our day-to-day demands can quickly take their toll on our well-being if we are not vigilant about caring for ourselves as best we can. One way we can ensure that we have an opportunity to relax and recuperate each day is to create a soft place to land when we arrive home. This landing pad, whether it is an entire room or merely a small corner of a larger area, can provide us with a safe and comforting refuge in which we can decompress and recover from the day’s stresses. There, we are enveloped in feelings of security that transcend other issues that may be unfolding in our homes. Our landing pads also act as way stations that enable us to shift our attention away from our outer-world concerns and back to our inner-world needs.

To create a soft place to land in your home, begin by scouting potential locations. Or perhaps your entire home is your landing pad in which case you may only need to declutter. Your habits can often provide you with insight into the perfect spot, as there may be an area of your home you gravitate to naturally when you are in need of comfort. Any space in which you find it easy to let go of stress and anxiety can become your landing pad. A basement or attic, spare room, or unused storage area, furnished with items that soothe you, can give you the privacy you need to unwind. If you appreciate the elements, you may find that spending time in a section of your garden or outdoor patio helps you release the day’s tensions. Preparing these spaces can be as easy as replacing clutter with a small selection of beautiful objects that put you in a relaxed frame of mind. Remember to consider noise and activity levels while choosing the site of your landing pad. If you know that ordinary human commotion will distract you from your purpose, look for a secluded spot.

The soft place to land that you create should inspire within you the mantra, “I can breath here. I can relax here. I know I am safe here.” When you return to your home after braving worldly rigors, you will feel a subtle yet tranquil shift occur inside of you as you settle in to this most personal of retreats and feel centered once again.

How and Why to Use Positive Affirmations as a Stress Management Tool

Positive Affirmations Can Be Fun!

By Elizabeth Scott, M.S.

Positive affirmations are a great tool to reprogram your unconscious mind from negative thinking to positive. The idea is to take positive statements of what you would like to see manifested, and repeat them enough so that they’re part of your way of thinking and seeing the world; this operates in the same way that negative self-talk does, but in a way that benefits you. To come up with your own positive affirmations, use the following guidelines:

  • Look At Your Intentions:Think about what you are trying to create in your life. This means, look at the end product, and the behaviors, attitudes and traits you would like to see yourself develop in order to get there. Would you like to feel more peace? Would you like to practice more healthy lifestyle habits? Would you like to be a more supportive friend? You might want to write in a journal and brainstorm to figure out what’s important to you and get to the heart of what you want to create in your life. (A good starting point is to imagine your ideal life, pretend a fairy has given you three wishes, or try to visualize what you were put on Earth to be.) 
  • Create Statements: Once you get an idea of what you’re aiming for, try to put that idea into a few simple statements that reflect the reality of what you want to create. Phrase the statements as if they are already true, not that you would like them to be true. For example, the affirmation, “I am feeling more peaceful each day,” would be better than, “I want to feel more peaceful.”This is because you are programming your subconscious mind to believe the statements, and that helps manifest them into reality. You’re not trying to wantsomething, you’re trying to make it so. 
  • Be Sure They’re Positive: When making positive affirmations, be sure they’re positive! This means saying what you want to see and experience, not what you don’t wantto see and experience. For example, instead of saying, “I don’t want to feel stress,” or even, “I’ve stopped feeling stress,” use, “I’m feeling peace”. Sometimes your mind doesn’t register the negative, and it just hears the concept, “stress”, which is what you’re trying to avoid. 
  • Make Them Realistic: Your subconscious mind can benefit from positive affirmations that stretch and expand your perspective, but if you push things too far, your ‘inner judge’ steps in and negates the affirmations. Be sure that you’re making your affirmations realistic, but hopeful as well, and positive affirmations will work foryou. For example, the affirmation of, ‘Every day, in every way, I’m getting better and stronger, etc.’ might feel like too much of a stretch, and your subconscious mind might ‘beg to differ’. However, ‘I am learning from my mistakes,’ or ‘I am grateful for all that I have in my life,’ might feel more ‘real’ to your subconscious mind. Experiment, and see what feels right to you. 
  • Use Mine: If you’d like some ideas for affirmations designed to reduce stress in your life by increasing peaceful thoughts, feelings of safety, and fostering a stronger sense of self-efficacy, you can check out my Stress Management Affirmations, or you can discover them the fun way by playing Affirmation Hangman. (If you’re going to play the game, don’t look at the list until afterward, or guessing the affirmations in the game will be too easy!)

Once you’ve found your affirmations, here are some fun ways to introduce positive affirmations into your life:

  • Repetition:Probably the most popular way to harness the power of affirmations is to simply repeat them to yourself on a regular basis. Repeating them mentally several times in the morning or evening can be effective; repeating them aloud is even more effective because you hear them more clearly that way. 
  • Do-It-Yourself Recording:You can make a recording of yourself repeating positive affirmations and play it as you drive, get reading in the morning, or do other activities. Talk in a calm voice, maybe play your favorite soothing music in the background, and you have a recording tailor-made especially for your needs! 
  • On Post-Its:A fun way to use affirmations is to put them on post-its that you place around your house (on the fridge, on the bathroom mirror, and other places you’ll likely see them) to give yourself positive messages throughout the day. This technique can be effective on its own, or can be used with other affirmation techniques as a reinforcer. 
  • Self-Hypnosis: To really increase the effectiveness of affirmations, you can use them with self-hypnosis. This is a way to really cement them into your subconscious thinking much more quickly than repeating them in your normal conscious state. (Here’s more information on the benefits of self-hypnosis and how to use self-hypnosis for stress management.

Happy, Happy, Happy Tuesday, dear friends!

Days Of The Week Comments Well my dearies, I have a horrible confession to make…..I have turned into a gamer, lol! When I worked, I had my own office. I would get bored and I ran across this great site with every kind of game on it you could imagine. Well I quit work and I figured I would play it at home. The site went down to make improvements and basically give it a complete overhaul. So it is back up and I have been playing like a wild woman, lol! My husband has never wanted to look at my blog. He was involved in my old MSN group. When MSN closed them down, I don’t know what happened to him but he said he didn’t want anything else to do with anything I did online. So last night, he came in here and he thought I was working on the blog. He said, “Oh, is that your blog, I would love to see it!” Well you can guess what the wild woman was really doing. I was playing mah jong on this gaming site. He got interested and wanted the addy for it. I told him and apparently he went and signed up. I had this person that kept showing up playing against me every time. I mean every time this person was there. His ID was “neighbor,” and that just struck me funny. Well after about 5 games of me whipping his butt. He came in here and was bitching about this girl who kept beating the crap out of him. He even asked me if I had ever played her. I liked to have died laughing but I kept a straight face and said, “No! never!” He left the room still mouthing to himself about this girl who he couldn’t beat. The girl he couldn’t beat wasn’t a girl at all, in fact she was a “WILD WOMAN!” LMAO! Of course, I won’t never tell him!
