From Karma Gaia

From Karma Gaia Why is setting healthy boundaries important? Everybody has personal boundaries with which they would feel more at ease navigating life and relationships. The problem is that not everyone has the same boundaries, and most people aren't able to infer what the boundaries of another individual might be. This is especially true for people who may have lower emotional intelligence (EQ). Furthermore, they frequently stand to gain the most from having their own boundaries made explicit to them. Simply said, setting boundaries is telling someone else what you need in order to engage in good conversation. It's not always simple. It's possible that not everyone appreciates or comprehends your boundaries or the rationale behind them. However, you can't expect them to be obeyed if you don't establish those boundaries. It often takes courage and strength to set boundaries, but when you do so, you can feel comfortable knowing your lines have been set. Your needs have been communicated. You would also have the right to put more distance between you and that individual if they continued to cross your boundaries. Nobody is allowed to cross your limits. (However, it's equally important to remember that you do not have the right to walk on someone else's property as well.) Tips for setting personal boundaries Although they are crucial, boundaries are not always simple to draw. Many times, people are unsure about how to start or express their requirements to others. If you’re looking for a way to set your own personal boundaries, it may be a good idea first to consider what type of boundary you’re setting. Emotional boundaries We don't always think to set emotional boundaries until after one has already been crossed, and they frequently have to do with how other people treat and speak to us. This is OK, though.Imagine that you had a disagreement with someone and they called you a derogatory name. The greatest method to establish an emotional boundary with that individual when you have both calmed down is to:-Approach them.-Ask to speak about the argument.-Own any part you may have played in the argument going awry.-Tell them that you are not OK with name-calling and that you will need them to engage without stooping to that level in the future.

On this day in 1961 First American Travels to Space Alan Shepard made history on May 5, 1961, as the first American to travel into space, aboard the spacecraft Freedom 7. His suborbital flight, which came just a few weeks after Yuri Gagarin's orbital flight, ignited a fierce sense of competition and pride that would fuel the U.S. efforts in the ensuing Space Race. Shepard’s 15-minute journey not only demonstrated America’s capabilities in space exploration but also embodied the adventurous spirit and technological ambition of an entire nation during the Cold War era.

This morning, I asked the cards for a helpful reading for those who will see this whenever that may be. This is a timeless general reading. I drew the Hermit, the Fool, and the Ace of Pentacles, with the King of Wands on the bottom of the deck. Meditation is always a good idea, or at the very least deep contemplation to allow what is in your subconscious to surface. Go forward with the innocence of a child, not worrying about the next step. Financial reward and clarity of your life's purpose are on the horizon. Underlying everything is the influence of someone who is passionate and career-focused. These readings are meant to empower you, to help you see how you can use what currently exists around you, and what you have within you for the best possible outcome, not to let you know exactly what is going to happen in the future. As always, the gender of cards has no bearing on the gender of people in your life. It is about projective, productive and intellectual (male) and receptive, feeling, and intuitive (female) energies.

Your Life Path Number Have you ever found yourself gazing at the clock at exactly 11:11? Or wondering why you so frequently meet people born on the same day of the month? Or why does your fortunate number appear in the strangest places? The revered, potent system of numerology dates back thousands of years. That system makes it simple to calculate Life Path Numbers, Destiny Numbers, and other fundamental numerological concepts. How do you calculate your Numerology Life Path Number? The easiest way to start working with numerology is by analyzing your unique date of birth. Numerology is all about getting to the root number. To do this, you simply reduce digits until you reach a single-digit number, excluding 11 and 22, which are considered Master Numbers. This single digit is your individual Life Path Number. The Life Path Number is similar to your Sun Sign in astrology: It reveals your identity, including strengths, weaknesses, talents, and ambitions. Your Life Path Number also exposes the tone of your experiences, and why events occur past, present, and future. Simply put, it creates an organized, structured system that illuminates your lived experiences. Let's say your birthday is August 18, 1989. To calculate your Life Path Number, you will reduce each component of this date to a single digit: The month, 8, remains a single digit = 8. The date, 18, is reduced to 1 + 8 = 9. The year, 1989, is reduced to 1 + 9 + 8 + 9. This equals 27. Then, 27 is reduced to 2 + 7 = 9. Then, we add the reduced month, date, and year numbers (8 + 9 + 9) and arrive at 26. Finally, we add 2 + 6, and reach 8. If you were born on August 18, 1989, your Life Path Number is 8 (and you and I also share a birthday!). It may seem daunting at first, but once you see it all written out this way, it becomes far less intimidating, right? Right!

This morning, I asked the cards for a helpful reading for those who will see this whenever that may be. This is a timeless general reading. I drew the Page of Wands, the Knight of Swords, and the 4 of Swords, with the 8 of Cups on the bottom of the deck. You have new opportunities for inspiration and excitement in your life and work if you take advantage of your determination to pursue your goals. As always, it is good to rest and meditate when you need to. Underlying everything is a feeling that you need to abandon your current circumstances in search of something better. This may just mean changing your way of thinking or being, not necessarily your environment. These readings are meant to empower you, to help you see how you can use what currently exists around you, and what you have within you for the best possible outcome, not to let you know exactly what is going to happen in the future. As always, the gender of cards has no bearing on the gender of people in your life. It is about projective, productive and intellectual (male) and receptive, feeling, and intuitive (female) energies.
