The Daily Om Horoscope Archives

As Halloween passes and the holidays approach many of us begin to feel overwhelmed this time of year. We have obligations to our families, careers, friends and causes but at the end of the day we only have so much to give. Somedays it feels like no mater how much we give, it’s simply never enough.

Yet, it is enough. We have to start with giving to ourselves before we can give to another. A simple moment of quiet, a run or walk, a call with a dear friend, a sunset or whatever it is that refuels you. As some of you know, one of my guilty pleasures is reading my horoscope., When I saw this it spoke to me and the message is for all of us.

“Saying no to some of our responsibilities and yes to ourselves helps us infuse our lives with a spirit of well-being. Our tendency to take on too much is often a sign that we are ignoring the needs of our bodies, minds, and spirits. When we do this, we begin to feel weighed down by things that are external to us. Taking care of ourselves, however, means that we pay attention to what all elements of our being really need, which frees us up to explore more meaningful ways to live. By putting yourself first today, you will have more energy and desire to get your tasks done.” Daily OM

Put yourself first and know that whatever you give….. is always more than enough.

I have a confession to make, and to those of you that know me, this will not come as a surprise….but I love reading my horoscope. I think of it as a helpful road map that often readjusts my course for the day and since I have a horrible sense of direction it can be quite helpful. So the other day when this appeared I loved the message and thought it applied to all of us, not just Gemini’s.

A Helping Hand (From the Daily Om)
Gemini Daily Horoscope

You will likely help all who need your aid without hesitation today, even when you must put aside your own concerns to focus on those of others in order to do so. A benevolent mood can guide your thoughts and actions, pointing you toward opportunities to act charitably in your home, your workplace, and out on the town.

You may be surprised to discover today that your kindhearted approach to life inspires the people you meet to behave more charitably. Even if you never see the effects your helpfulness has had on others, your environment, or the world at large, you can be confident that you are making a difference by simply endeavoring to live in accordance with your values.

The simplest way to spread a charitable message among all those with whom we interact is to freely offer assistance whenever we encounter someone who might benefit from our help. Though we often associate philanthropy with the transfer of resources such as possessions or money, the greatest resource we have in our charitable arsenal is our willingness to be there for individuals in need.

Whether our lives are rich or poor, we can give others the gift of our benevolence, thereby proving to all we come into contact with that anyone can make a difference.

We not only benefit others by being helpful; we also share a message of goodwill that they then spread by adopting a similarly altruistic attitude. Your innate goodness will give you the means to share the joy of charity with others today.

We all get a little lost sometimes so I hope this map gives you some direction today, I know it certainly helped me.
