Naturoscope

Happy Friday the 13th (a lucky day for those who dare to see positive outcomes in the midst of change.)

Instead of a traditional horoscope, I thought I'd offer a relaxing nature-based horoscope. So...

FIND YOUR NATUROSCOPE - July 15-July 21, 2007

Aries: Engage in a nature-loving activity you normally would avoid. Turn off the air conditioning, take a stroll in the rain, play in the mud (whether you have a child with you or not.)

Taurus: Stand still for a full five minutes. Listen to the sounds of nature. Embrace the music.

Gemini: Eat a food or herb fresh from the tree, bush, or soil. Take special note of its texture, flavor, and temperature.

Cancer: Make eye contact with a creature that does not speak your language. Try to communicate visually and experience a special moment between the two of you.

Leo: Observe a domesticated animal's movements and reactions. Watch for instinctively "wild" tendencies.

Virgo: Enjoy a picnic meal on the grass (not at a table) alone or with friends and family. No cell phones, iPods, or Gameboys allowed.

Libra: Examine the movement of a bug you would normally avoid. Marvel in the intricacies of a spider's web, the speed of a running beetle, or the strength of a tiny ant.

Scorpio: Spend an afternoon looking up and around. Take note of all the creatures and objects that make the air and sky their sometime homes.

Sagittarius: Watch the clouds and allow yourself to spend time enjoying their free television in the sky.

Capricorn: Using only natural objects (stones, sticks, grass blades), make music alone or with a special someone.

Aquarius: Take off your shoes and walk in the grass, dirt, or sand. Remind yourself that it's the earth that keeps us grounded (with a little help from gravity.)

Pisces: Notice all the colors that nature gives us. Imagine what pictures and designs you could create using the earth as a palette.

Interesting. That echoes the sentiment of my post today. Perhaps it's in the air.

I was working on this post and stopped by your place and noticed we were on the same path today.

I like Friday the 13th... it's a good time to embrace change, don't you think?

I like this post a bundle. I think it's very inspiring and really gives me a reason to think about things a little more closely.

Nice blog, BTW.

I've always found Fridays the 13th curious. So much is made of them, but to me, they just seem curious, out-of-balance numbers.

Any reminder to embrace change is a wonderful thing in my estimation. The imbalance inherent in 13 sounds like a fitting place to do it!
