A good sunday prayer.

 "Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O no! it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come: Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved."  William Shakespeare Sonnet 116

 "Saturn squares Uranus today, a seismic force that not only marks the astrology of 2021, but one that bends, breaks, and reforges certain areas of our lives. We feel pulled in different directions. Most importantly, we have to get out of our own way.

The square between Saturn and Uranus takes place in the fixed signs of Aquarius and Taurus. Fixed energy is, as you can imagine, fixed. The fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius are duty bound to hold down the fort, so to speak. But what happens when you toss Uranus, the planet of radical reinventions, into the mix? Things that seemed like they would never change in fact do change.

Maybe you're witnessing this firsthand. Maybe you have a Taurus or an Aquarius in your life who is making big moves. Maybe a Scorpio is doing a 180. If you are a Saturn ruled Capricorn, life's a bit interesting, too.

My best advice is to not resist. The psychic stress is too great. Let this energy move and let it move you. Let it show you something better. Let it help open you up and get you out of a rut.

And since you all like to connect the dots in time with me, it's worthwhile knowing that this square connects to the Saturn-Uranus opposition of 2008-2010 in the signs of Virgo and Pisces. Previously, there was another square in 1999-2000 in Taurus-Aquarius. But the cycle began way back in 1988 with the conjunction

Alongside all of this is some pretty strong Neptune energy, a planet who's job is to get us to surrender. Today's square between the Gemini Sun and Neptune in Pisces is a reminder to let things flow." Empowering astrology

Nam means name. Together, Sat Nam essentially translates into something deeper: "I am truth," or "Truth is my essence." Sat Nam is known as a bija (seed) mantra — a one-syllable sound that activates the chakras. “It is small and potent.

Gut wellbeing and waking up to a sell pattern.

 Your General Disposition

At the present time your behavior is characterized by your need to improve your situation. When you find problems too burdensome, you in no way hang your head but instead, you undertake quite a bit in order to rid yourself of them as quickly as possible. You set yourself a goal and make way for it ceaselessly and untiringly. Or you throw yourself into an activity which satisfies you and distracts you from your problems.

Interpretation of the Colors You Find Most Pleasing

Of great importance to you now is...

...vigorous self-assertion.

You now want to pull out all the stops in order to achieve what you have planned. Your chances are good because if you feel something is important you are able to show initiative, grab the opportunity spontaneously and act with vigor. You can also display energetic efforts in your personal relationships: if you love or admire someone you are prepared to undertake quite a bit in order to win or hold on to his affection. You utilize a major portion of your powers for...

You can ask yourself:

...vigorous effort.

You need a task that inspires you and allows you to give your all. If serious demands are made on your abilities or your strengths, you mobilize all your creativity and really stay on the ball in order to prove to yourself and others what you are capable of. If your efforts are acknowledged, you are prepared to do your best. Should someone approach you with unfair demands or, even worse, with outright injustice, however, you resolutely fend them off. At present you are working particularly hard for...

You can ask yourself:

...crisis-proof existential survival.

You need the comforting certainty of having a solid base in your life. Stable living conditions, adequate income and sensual pleasure and a certain measure of comfort are among your life goals. You want to be secure against the whims of fate and to be able to devote yourself without distraction to the things that give you satisfaction. For this reason, you resolutely apply yourself to the task of creating a crisis-proof existence, despite any obstacles which might appear. The thing you consider very important for your sense of wellbeing is...

...satisfying your needs undisturbed.

When daily stress takes a toll on your nerves, you prefer to retreat to a quiet place, to your comfortable home, your hobbies or the sweetness of doing nothing. This allows you to devote yourself, undisturbed by problems and worries, to the thing most important to you and which gives you satisfaction, to regenerate and to recharge your batteries. Your most marked need at present is...

...deliberate self-determination.

You know for yourself what you need to do and not do, and you want to create a life in accordance with your own ideas. You are trying to establish an independent sphere of your own. You would like to see things as they are, and you prefer to make decisions on the basis of facts and objective information. Your primary focus of interest is on everything that is practical and expedient or that serves to increase your autonomy. In your own interest, you strive for...

...a thorough solution to your problem.

You can see it is now time to get up on your hind legs. You want to carry out your plans carefully and thoroughly and not be diverted from them. You take your tasks seriously and are not satisfied with half-hearted solutions or superficial answers. On the contrary, you try to get to the bottom of things, and you seek a radical solution to your problems.

Interpretation of the Colors You Find Most Unpleasant

At the moment you feel most anxious due to your...

...dangerous tendency towards depression.

Sad events or a hard stroke of fate have triggered dispiriting feelings in you such as depressiveness, pessimism, fear or insecurity. You turn to pleasurable things to try to distract yourself from this experience and to forget it. However, the repressed emotions could make themselves known in the form of unwelcome physical complaints. You could also end up in a depressive mood due to your...

Your unconscious advises you to:

...uncomfortable immobility.

There are times at which you feel as if you were chained to people or circumstances which restrict your personal freedom to act and move. You can get itchy when your affairs move slowly as a result or when you have to wait so long for the fulfillment of your wishes out of consideration for others. You also feel very uneasy due to your...

Your unconscious advises you to:

...emotional sensitivity.

When you think about the difficulties you have to cope with, your mood is anything but rosy. You have to steel yourself against exhausting demands, you feel unfairly treated, or you are faced with some other impositions. You try to adopt a thick skin, but you get worked up all the same and have a tendency to make mountains out of molehills. At the moment, you are in quite bad spirits due to your...

...exhaustingly stressful situation.

The difficulties you are presently forced to deal with sometimes cause you distress and tax your energies. Instead of altering or leaving this situation, you heroically attempt to hold on and to act as if nothing were bothering you. In this way, you overextend yourself and become the victim of your own ambitious need to prove how strong you are. Your momentum has faded considerably due to your...

...fear of misunderstanding.

You are fairly well convinced of your personal viewpoints, and you are certain that your needs, demands and plans are justified, but you fear others will show no understanding for them. In reality, you are often faced with misunderstanding, reserve or resistance because you are stubborn and a know-it-all. But you hardly let yourself be put off your stride. Other people show very little understanding for your...

...frustrating situation.

You are in an unpleasant situation that hinders you from doing the things that are in line with your inclinations and needs. You find this all the more frustrating because you basically believe that someone who plays an important role in your life is to be blamed for your unfortunate situation. With this belief, you create a comfortable position for yourself and stand in the way of improving your circumstances.

The Color Oracle

This Color Oracle is a psychological color test developed by the Swiss astrologer and art instructor Johannes Schneider. During several decades of research and practice, he investigated the effect of color on the psyche. He first published his findings on these effects under the name "Color-O-Scope" which included 25 small colored wooden plaques for use in selecting the colors.

The online version available here utilizes the same hues as the original product. The method of color selection is also identical. Since the representation of the colors is dependent on the color fidelity of the display screen in use, slight deviations in color may nonetheless occur, and Astrodienst has no control over this.

Until further notice the Color Oracle will be offered to visitors free of charge. You will also find on this website another horoscope interpretation by the same author which is based on astrology and psychology, the "Color Horoscope" by Johannes Schneider.

"Agreeing to things just to keep the peace is a trauma response. Don't create internal conflict to keep others comfortable - their happiness is not more important than yours. Use your voice to set boundaries and protect your precious peace." inner practioner

There no need to make yourself uncomfortable to make others comfortable.

Mental health is not about "how you feel," it's about "how you feel about how you feel." It's okay to feel any or all the ways...it's the getting okay with how we feel that is often the hurdle. (This one was a NUGGET.)

"What other people say about you is information about *them*, not you."

"You emotional needs matter as much as your physical needs."

"Do the right thing not the nice thing"

Asked, "How do I say no?" Answer, "You just say NO. You don't have to justify your NO. It is a full statement. It sets a boundary."

Letting people know your expectations & if something bothers you early, be upfront (if you’re comfortable). It is one of the best services you can do for yourself.

When I complained about family drama my therapist said “you know, you don’t HAVE to love them. I release you from the burden of loving them”

Things that served you as a child, such as how you interacted with people to protect yourself, may not serve you as an adult. Unlearning is as important as learning. Also, read “The Body Keeps the Score.”

"make process goals, not results goals"

an old therapist of mine told me the reason we sometimes seek out toxic and "unattainable" partners, or seek the chase, is because we're subconsciously looking for validation for our feelings of unworthiness

"What we permit, we promote"

you’re not crazy. Your values simply aren’t aligned with what this system currently rewards.
