Virgo 19: A swimming race

"A swimming race" 19 Virgo

 

This symbol is illuminated 3:36 AM EDT Sep 10 (7:36 AM GMT, Sep 10)

 

 

Theme: Currents

 

Inspiration: Competition hones skills and special abilities, and something drags one away along a narrow focus at the expense of the whole self.

 

Today: At the river near town one boy challenges another, "Bet I can beat you swimming across the river!"

 

Such challenges are natural test points in life's journey, for example eliminating certain arenas of activity as true to one's own calling. Sometimes one gets in too deep, because like a wide unknown river, there may be hidden currents and depths beyond one's capacity to master.

 

If challenged today, trust inner felt senses of standards… if it feels to be dangerous, unwise, or not in your best interests, gut instinct is alerting you. 

 

It may be difficult not to accept challenges today. It may be good to know there is someone nearby who can pull you out if you get in over your head. Best not to pretend to be something you are not, to be able to do something you cannot. Dressing the part alone will not suffice today.
