Spiritual reading: be like both earth and water

June 1

The elements to consider today are water and earth. Water is contained by earth—it flows slowly and swiftly between banks of earth, sits calmly in pools that are cupped by earth. Water washes up and away the shores of the sea.

Water falls upon earth and brings growth and fertility. Water floods earth and steals away with that which had seemed stable and immovable. There are hundreds of permutations, ways in which water and earth relate to one another, and even more ways in which the dance of those two elements is reflected in your lives.

We are not deliberately obtuse, but the truth and the wisdom need to be unearthed by you in order to have full value. If you give some time and thought to your relationship with water and earth, to the ways  in which those elements manifest within you, to flowing, to sitting, to moving, to receiving, to merging, to dissolving, you will likely find that there is some useful guidance for today and beyond.

These energies will, each in their own way, help you to navigate certain challenges. As humans, many of you have a tendency to react and respond from places that are very mental and distanced, or to give full vent to the fiery aspects of your emotional being and to lose yourself in a volatile response.

Although there is little doubt that many strong and beautiful energies are coming through to you, that the times are honing and refining you, on a strictly practical basis, things can be tough. The need to stay on your toes is great and anyone who fails to stay alert stumbles.

We would point out that neither passion nor reason are paramount at this time. If you find yourself thinking too much or feeling inflamed, you are probably not working with the energies of the moment as well as you might. Step back and try to surround yourself with the energy of water, or ground yourself into the earth. We strongly suggest that you take a little time to contemplate how and where those forces work in and for you—now–so that you have that knowledge ready and available to you as you make your way forward.

Remember that you do live in and among the manifest world. The great beauty and inspiration it brings are in large part the result of the marriage of earth and water. Place your feet consciously on the ground and engage with water with awareness. We assure you that if you allow yourself to explore in depth, you will be amazed at all you will understand and learn. The layers of meaning are many, and if you are earnest in your approach, you will reap much of great value.

We send you all good wishes, love, and many blessings.
