But deep down in your heart of hearts, you have not forgotten your youthful dreams and desires. They are calling out to you from a hidden corner. The wind is changing direction and an auspicious tide is nudging your ship towards a cherished dream in this new glorious year that lies ahead. A voice emanating from the fathomless depths of your creative source is calling out. This year will see you striking out on a path that gets you doing what you’ve always wanted to do.

“Your mind can fly to great heights but your parrot-nature keeps pecking on the ground collecting knowledge that burdens the soul. Unlearn everything and embrace madness! Give your profit to the poor, forsake security, live dangerously, insult those who praise you, drink poison, and spill the water of life. Forget reputation, become a disgrace. I was prudent all my life, from now on I embrace madness.” (Rumi, Mathnawi II)

“Humans have come into being for the sake of each other, so either teach them, or learn to bear them.” ~ Marcus Aurelius

“The one great art is that of making a complete human being of oneself.” ~ G.I. Gurdjieff

“Yes, I check my horoscope. And let’s be honest…so do you. But when I check in on my Leo self, I visit astrologer Phil Booth’s site! ” ~ George Stroumboulopoulos

 

“Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.” ~ Marcus Aurelius (Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD)
