“The best way to predict the future is to create it”. ~ Peter Drucker
How your future unfolds is up to you. This phrase emphasizes the importance of taking action instead of passively waiting for it to develop. Shape your reality with focus and the right tools. Create a list of several things you want to manifest in the next six months.
Many of us made our New Year’s resolutions or goals for this year about six months ago. Shall we pause to recall what we wanted to have happen? I wrote mine down. I found it about a month ago. Reading it helped to reconfirm that writing things down helps to make things happen. Most of what was on my list has become manifest.
Now is a great time to reflect on or update your goals and connection to your spiritual nature. Take a moment to find your New Year’s list or write a new one—or both!
On an astrological note, Jupiter has just entered the zodiac sign of Cancer. Jupiter is known as the planet of good fortune and expansion. Cancer, ruled by the Moon, represents your home, emotional foundation, family, material possessions, and property. This creates a vibe of new beginnings because Jupiter remains in a sign for ten years. During this upcoming decade, you may feel more nostalgic, reflecting on the joyful moments of the past. You might find yourself becoming more heart-centered and compassionate. I hope we all feel that way! Nurturing and self-care are highlighted at this time. Take a moment to check in with yourself and reflect. Ask yourself, “What will help me feel emotionally safe? How can I honor my emotions? What does being heart-centered mean to me?”
From a gemological perspective, many stones are associated with the planet Jupiter and the zodiac sign of Cancer. Jupiter includes amber, angelite, azurite, azurite-malachite, channeling quartz, dumortierite, emerald, jade, lapis lazuli, magnetite octahedron, morganite, Orthoceras, pietersite, purple-dyed agate, sardonyx, serpentine, blue topaz, and turquoise. Cancer (June 21 – July 22) features bloodstone, celestite, cobaltoan calcite, emerald, hiddenite, girasol quartz, howlite, Isis quartz crystal, magnesite, moonstone, muscovite, optical calcite, orange calcite, orbicular jasper, selenite, selenite rose, watermelon tourmaline, and unakite.
Pick a stone—any stone. Make a matching intention to go with the stone so that every time you look at, touch, or think of that gem, you will remember your goals and create your future. After all, it is the best way to predict your future!
Every day gives us the opportunity to be happier, healthier, more loving, or better than we were yesterday. Keeping that in mind, use tools like affirmations, aromatherapy, contemplative thought, drumming, gemstones, journaling, meditation, self-knowledge through astrology, and sound baths.
