The Ancient Wisdom Of The Two Wolves
The story of the Two Wolves holds a special place among my childhood favorites. The moral of this Native American wisdom tale, thought to have originated with the Cherokee tribe, serves as a daily guiding light in my life.
I must confess, there is some sentimental bias on my part, as this story also brings back lovely memories of my remarkable grandfather, Sequoia, a former medicine man and chief of the Cherokee Nation.
Variations of the story exist in various Native American cultures, and it typically goes like this:
One evening, an old Cherokee is teaching his granddaughter about life and says, “My daughter, a fight is going on inside all of us each day. It is the battle between the two wolves.”
“One wolf is evil — anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other wolf is good — joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.”
The granddaughter thinks about it for a minute and then asks her grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”

Astrology Forecast February 19 – 25, 2024
Get ready for a spiritually charged week! As the Sun dives deeper into Pisces and the Moon takes a cozy swim through Cancer today and tomorrow, it’s the perfect time to hit pause. If possible, consider taking a breather to connect with like-minded souls or simply dive into nature for some quality time with your inner self.
Midweek, from Wednesday to Friday, the Moon struts into Leo, putting a spotlight on our closest ties and unleashing our empathetic and generous sides. It’s a reminder to not forget about numero uno. This lunar phase is tailor-made for self-care and showering yourself with a bit more love.
Come Friday, Mercury joins the Pisces party with the Sun, steering our thoughts towards the magical, mystical, and soulful realms. Brace yourself for a few weeks of metaphysical insights – keep those antennas up!
Saturday’s Virgo Full Moon, also known as the Snow Moon for the often heavy snowfall that occurs in North America at this time of year will urge us to shed baggage of the past, discard any misguided notions, and embrace new possibilities. During a Virgo Full Moon, there’s a tendency to examine aspects of our lives and evaluate what’s working and what needs to be released. It’s a time to let go of what no longer serves us, whether it’s outdated habits, unhealthy relationships, or unproductive thought patterns.
The Anchoring Vitality Of The Root Chakra
The chakras play a pivotal role in our energetic well-being. These energy centers, rooted in ancient Eastern philosophies, govern various aspects of our physical, emotional, and spiritual functioning and health.
At the very base of this intricate energy system lies the root chakra, an energetic foundation that holds the key to our sense of security, stability, and connection to the world around us.
The root chakra, also known as the base chakra or muladhara in Sanskrit, is the first of the seven main chakras at the base of the spine. Its significance cannot be overstated, as it is the energetic anchor for the entire chakra system. This energy center is associated with red, symbolizing vitality, strength, and the life force that flows through us.
At its core, the root chakra is linked to our most primal instincts and survival needs. Its activation is crucial for establishing a solid foundation for a balanced and fulfilling life. When the root chakra is in harmony, it fosters a sense of security, grounding, and a deep connection to the physical world.
One of the primary functions of the root chakra is to address our basic survival needs, including food, shelter, and a sense of safety. When this chakra is balanced, we feel secure in our environment, enabling us to navigate life with confidence and stability. On the contrary, an imbalanced root chakra may manifest as fear, anxiety, or a constant sense of insecurity.
Astrology Forecast February 12 – 18, 2024
We’ll have a productive start to the week as the Moon moves through industrious Aries today and tomorrow, then into grounded Taurus Wednesday through Friday, keeping the momentum going and us on track.
It will be an interesting week due to a crescendo of planetary alignments in Aquarius. Not only are the Sun and Mercury in Aquarius, but Mars and Venus will also move into this electric sign this week!
Aquarius is associated with qualities such as innovation, originality, and humanitarianism. With several planets aligned in this sign, we can expect an increased focus on collective goals, group dynamics, and progressive ideas this week. There may also be an emphasis on out-of-the-box thinking and a desire for social change.
The Sun in Aquarius promotes a sense of independence, intellectual pursuits, and a focus on humanitarian causes, while Mercury in Aquarius promotes innovative thinking, open-mindedness, and a preference for intellectual discussion.
Mars, associated with energy, action and drive, enters Aquarius tomorrow, leading to a more assertive pursuit of unconventional goals, social activism and technological advances. Venus rules love, beauty, and harmony and enters Aquarius on Friday, emphasizing unconventional relationships, a desire for freedom in love, and a focus on social connections.
Navigating Relationship Conflict With Astrology Humor
Navigating a lover’s quarrel can range from simple and fleeting disagreements to complex and time-consuming arguments and feuds.
In the midst of such challenges, a sense of humor can sometimes be a good thing, providing a quick relief valve and a broader perspective on the situation. A little humor can even prevent us from saying or doing things we later regret!
A great source of humor is our zodiac sign. Understanding how our partner’s sign and our own might handle relationship conflict differently can actually help one see the funny, lighter side of even a serious disagreement.
Throughout my years as a psychic reader, I’ve certainly noticed the humor in how different clients handle arguments with their partners based on their signs.
Different zodiac signs have different communication styles. Knowing your partner’s style and your own can help you appreciate the differences and find humor in miscommunication. Each sign also has its flaws, and recognizing them can help you approach conflict with a greater sense of humor. Instead of seeing flaws as insurmountable problems, see them as opportunities for growth and laughter.
The Truth About Being “Too Busy”
It is good to be busy. But some people are always too busy. Too busy to do the things that really matter. Too busy to go where we really want to go. Too busy to make a difference. Too busy to love. Too busy.
I admit that I am one of those people who, when asked how I am doing, often gives the standard one-word answer: “Busy.” Some people who like their jobs and choose to work a lot are called workaholics. I have been called a workaholic by friends and family. My response is always that I am grateful to still be able to do what I love.
Yes, some of us like to be busy. We like to be doing something all the time. For me, being busy gives me a sense of self-worth and security. When a task is completed, it gives me a sense of accomplishment. Being busy is also a way to thrive. Some people do their best work when they are very busy and under pressure. We are indeed blessed when we have a job that we truly love to do. But that does not mean we never need a day off without feeling guilty?
The pandemic has been a challenge for us busy people. How do you stay busy when you cannot leave the house? One thing it did for me was give me “permission” to take an online art class without feeling guilty. Also, friends and family have given me more puzzles than one could ever have in a lifetime. In the past, I would have felt guilty about doing these things for pleasure instead of work.
