Today's Goddess Guidance - Yemanya (Golden Opportunity)

"Important doors are opening for you right now. Walk through them."

Yemanya, Yemaya, Yemaja... However you spell her name, this is one of my favorite goddesses, and probably one of the most important messages I've received from this deck so far. Yes, I know, I've been slacking, this is kind of my kick in the butt to get back to what I was doing!

Anyway, I hope this card is right. So far, it is. The managing editor of NassauNewsLive.com sent out an e-mail earlier this week saying that he was extending editor positions to some of the people who were reporters last semester. I immediately jumped at the opportunity and e-mailed him back, saying that I would love to be an editor. Still waiting for a response, but I know that he is very busy so I'm not going to freak out (not yet, anyway.)

Wouldn't it be wonderful if this meant that there is a job waiting for me on the horizon?? Just saying. I can't afford to be broke for another semester. I'm thinking work study or that sports bar/restaurant opening near the school are probably my best bets for employment right now. Then again, not everything needs to be so cut and dry, so maybe I should pay attention to what's going on around me and not take anything for granted...

Today's Goddess Guidance - Hathor (Receptivity)

"Allow yourself to receive. This will increase your intuition, energy, and ability to give to others."

Hathor has always been one of my favorite goddesses. I have a picture of her on my mirror that has been there for a couple of years now. Hathor is a goddess of love, music, beauty, the sky, the sun... Pretty much an "all-Goddess." This card is perfect for me today, because I'm back to trying to consciously be aware of what the Universe has to say, and notice the little "coincidences" (hate that word) that take place on a daily basis.

Then there's the whole thing about increasing psychic awareness, "ask and you shall receive," yadda yadda. There is also another meaning of "releasing guilt about receiving." Definitely need that advice. I don't really like asking for help or ANYTHING, even when I know the person offering is doing so because they care. I've especially been feeling this way toward my boyfriend, who, in the month that I've been home on break, has offered and given me so many things, and I almost always feel terrible. But he obviously does it because he wants to.

As with the other goddess cards that I've drawn so far, maybe more so, this doesn't need to be a one-time consideration. Maybe I'll give myself another challenge in the future to see what happens when I allow myself to be more receptive...

Today's Goddess Guidance - Aine (Leap of Faith)

"Take a risk, and put your heart's true desire into action!"

This is the message of Aine, a Celtic goddess of healing, fertility, protection, and prosperity.

Why does this message matter for me?

I have so many goals, so many dreams, and yet I tend to abandon them because I think they are impossible to achieve. I guess I either underestimate my ability, or I just don't believe that it is meant to happen for me. And I know I need to stop thinking that way. Considering that my principle for today is, "Let go of worry," I know that the Universe is definitely trying to tell me something. As Aine's message says, it is time for me to take a risk, and have faith that the Universe will take care of the rest.

Of course, this is all easier said than done. I have been getting in my own way for too long, and it's time to stop. I need to take that leap of faith, and trust that everything else will fall into place.
