Wise words from famous Libras…
“Only idiots refuse to change their minds.” – Brigitte Bardot
“Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.” – Truman Capote
“I see science literacy as a kind of a vaccine against charlatans who would try to exploit your ignorance.” – Neil deGrasse Tyson
“It is not wise to violate rules until you know how to observe them.” – T.S. Eliot
“The most important thing in life is, if you have a dream, I mean a real good dream, follow it.” – Evel Knievel
“The mark of a great sportsman is not how good they are at their best but how good they are at their worst.” – Martina Navratilova
“One should always be a little improbable.” – Oscar Wilde
The surprisingly easy way Libras can renew…
As an air sign, you’re smart. You’re a thinker, and you think a lot about yourself—like, perhaps you aren’t as brilliant as you (and others) think you are, and they’re going to find out you’re a fraud! Take a few moments to relax.
Yogis have known for centuries about the enormous potential of breath. Breathing deeply relaxes your entire body and mind. Exhale forcefully and you increase your energy. Pay attention to the flow of your breath in and out as you focus your mind. Inhale and exhale fully to relax the emotional center of the brain. With clarity comes the realization that you are just as awesome as you thought!
You need to open up…
Scorpio is known for its secrecy and need for privacy because of Pluto’s—one of your rulers—energy. Therefore, Scorpio often wears a mask in order to be able to hide from the outside world. But as time passes by, you might start to realize that when you open up, you are able to give the most of yourself and also take the best from others. That´s because you can only learn self-mastery and control when you really allow others to mirror you, your own issues, and your processes. For your sign, real growth can only be a consequence of your relationships with others. So, take off your mask and allow yourself to share, exchange, and really feel.
Your soul mate is hiding…
If you still haven´t found your better half, you’re probably pretty picky, and no one can blame you for that. Have you thought that maybe you´re looking in the wrong places? Here are some spots you need to hit according to your compatibility chart.
If you can already feel the gentleness and understanding side of your Pisces soul mate, vibe him or her at a museum, symphony, or any artistic event.
There’s a huge possibility your mate is a Cancer… just like at least a couple of your friends? This one might be harder to find, and there´s a big chance it´s going to be through family members or acquaintances.
Your Cap soul mate is always working, which means you will have to go find him or her either at a conference, or a happy hour networking event. Sound boring? Trust us, this serious lover will blow your mind.
Scorpio’s brilliant strategy…
Just like in love, Scorpio holds the reputation of being cold and calculating when it comes to business or money matters mainly because of its secretly slow and successful strategy.
Like the Scorpion animal, Scorpio individuals are outstanding tacticians that will sneak in, very quietly observe, gather information, wait for the perfect moment, and then attack!
Why is this brilliant quality often seen as somehow evil or manipulative? Well, dear Scorpio, being the strongest and the winner doesn´t come easily. And for you, losing your clandestine strategy would be like losing the best weapon the stars brought you.
Dealing with the Sagittarius syndrome…
You’re so charming that people can almost overlook your blunt honesty. Almost. Trouble is, what you see as frank can border on heartless if you aren’t careful. People will squirm if you talk about that friend who’s dumb as a box of rocks or ask a woman if she cut her own hair. The State Department probably won’t be offering you a job, but a little diplomacy would go a long way in your everyday life. No one’s asking you to lie! Just think before you speak. And don’t play poker. You’ll be the one asking, “Are these cards any good?”
Secret ways to ease those common Sag pains…
Research shows that performing the simple act of foam rolling before exercise can reduce muscle fatigue and soreness. It can also make workouts seem easier. Rolling after your workout eases aches by improving blood flow and improving muscle and joint function, too. Try this to soothe those achy Sag-ruled quads!
Position the roller under upper thighs.
Relax and straighten legs.
Drag legs together and apart slowly (like you’re doing horizontal jumping jacks).
Rea three to five times.
Reposition roller halfway down thighs and repeat.
Reposition roller to just above the backs of knees and repeat.
Keeping distracted Sagittarius focused…
Pressure doesn’t faze Sag. You have no trouble seeing a task to completion, especially if the fate of the universe hangs in the balance. Or <i>only</i> if the fate of the universe hangs in the balance. Without a hard deadline, you get sidetracked. Once a project grows too routine, you lose interest. Rather than procrastinate, try some focusing techniques.
Track big projects and actions on a calendar.
Tackle the hardest tasks first—yes, before e-mail!
Look at and deal with each e-mail once.
Spend 20 minutes on each task (set a timer).
Forget perfect.
Take breaks.
This Sag’s talents are unique and boundless…
Polymath Stephen Hough epitomizes Sag’s need to see, learn, and do. This accomplished pianist is also a composer, painter, poet, author, and blogger. He’s won international piano competitions and poetry prizes, performed with orchestras worldwide, and exhibited his artwork in galleries. He’s recorded more than 50 albums and teaches piano at two music academies. He has a master’s degree from Juilliard and a “genius” award from the MacArthur Foundation.
Wise, joyful, interested, and interesting, he’s an example of Sag’s enthusiasm and eternal search for wisdom. His advice on practicing for amateur musicians, “leave the ego-posturing to the professionals….make demands on yourself, fill the time well, concentrate… but then enjoy.” Sounds like good advice for life!
Wondering about your next step? This is it!
You work really hard to achieve your own goals, provide for your family, help your loved ones and friends, impress the world… but now it’s time you give back with no personal agenda to total strangers.
Pick a cause, event, whatever needs help. Look in your local community for opportunities. It can be a few hours—one time at a local festival that needs someone to help serve in a beverage tent, or an ongoing youth mentoring program.
Bottom line: you have a lot to offer the world at large. It’s time to help out, and the return on investment is priceless!
