Moments of Awareness

Aries [update for all links (February 4, 2104):  MOA T & A Glossary ] You won’t burn through all the moisture no matter how hot and bright you flash this month, so be your vibrant, electric self with aplomb and enjoy relative freedom from the constraints of propriety that often bind. Contrary to appearances, you’re feeling your way through as much as anyone else right now. So long as you keep in mind the golden rule, “Do unto others as you’d have done to you,” your words and deeds will strike at the heart of truth we so need to find without creating excess damage and you know the old adage, “The truth shall set you free.” Just be aware that sometimes what we’re freeing ourselves of is something we think we meant to hold onto and try to let go graciously. The space will be filled in time. Taurus All this letting go wouldn’t be so bad if once we released a thing we were done with it, but it all just keeps coming back.

The part of security we may be missing under this energy is seeing the present as it really is. Everything looks a little 'trippy' just now, maybe a little rosy or maybe we just think so.

As a Gem/Lib/Gem  [updated link (February 4, 2014): MOA T & A Glossary ] she's a wordsmith by nature, but it was her attitude, her light that drew me. There was something in it I recognized. Time went along as it is wont to do and at some point we started talking off-list. I found her to be wise and open, not only able but willing to delve into any subject with zeal and veracity, contradicting me when she felt the need as freely as she supported me where we agreed. Time continued going on as we explored our respective lives, sharing amazing likenesses and fascinating differences, learning and growing along the way often by leaps and bounds.
