3 Ways to Open Up To Life
Sometimes, our initial reaction to get away from the noise and chaos in our daily lives, especially from those we can’t control, is to simply shut ourselves off. We use it as a self defense mechanism to escape the possibility of being hurt. Closing ourselves down because of our fear of experiencing pain can lead us to miss a lot of opportunities in life. When we let this happen, we’re not helping ourselves to deal with the problems and heal the inner wounds. Opening up to life is a slow process, yet we have to allow ourselves be open to learning, to accept things without judging others and most of all, let ourselves be happier regardless of what comes our way. By doing this, we will be able to appreciate life’s daily wonders.
Learn to accept more and judge less
Our tendency to judge other people seems natural, but by doing so, we’re preventing ourselves in discovering the wonderful things about them. Be aware if you notice that you are judging people based on stereotypes. Pause, strive to understand and accept, then learn to love and let go of the expectations of the people around you. Accept and see people as they are. It doesn’t mean you can’t change things, instead, you don’t get upset, irritated and frustrated if things are not what you’d like it to be, and by accepting, you are relieving your suffering.
Be aware of fear and defense mechanisms
There are several defense mechanisms that people develop against painful experiences. They vary and oftentimes they are instinctive, thus powerful. Learn to recognize them. Nudge yourself when you notice you’re doing or not doing certain things to encourage openness. Ask why you hurt people and examine the reasons why you are shutting people or experiences out.
Fear triggers our defense mechanisms. If we guard our fears by knowing how to address them and shed light to their cause, we free ourselves to open up to new things.
Be less in control
Trying to control everything is impossible. Just imagine if we let go of that control, the possibilities open up, walls break down and we’re left with freedom to explore. Walk with open hands, a simple practice to show you are ready to accept the world as it is.
Opening up your life takes some reflection. This time for reflection is a good way to confront why we are closing ourselves to what life has to offer. Most of the time, it is us who unconsciously imposes the limitations in our lives. Understanding your own value and potentials can help you grow into a happier individual.
Spiritual retreats are great opportunities to have this time of reflection. By having the chance to recuperate, we can evaluate our motivations and fears and understand why we are not opening to life. Sedona Soul Adventures provides customized life-changing spiritual retreats for people who are rejuvenating their sense of self.

The Moon is Void of Course today (February 4) at 6:14 PM (Eastern) until February 5 at 4:46 AM (Eastern) and the Moon is in Aries.
The Moon is Void of Course today (February 4) at 6:14 PM (Eastern) until February 5 at 4:46 AM (Eastern) and the Moon is in Aries. Don’t make any important decisions while the Moon is Void of Course. For a deeper explanation of Moon Void of Course Click Here.
When the Moon is in Aries, it can be a very emotional time. You will feel a lot of enthusiasm and you can feel a real urge to do new things. This is a good time to think about new projects, renovations, etc., just wait until the Moon has moved out of Void of Course to make any final decisions. It’s possible for you to be more impulsive, but also very independent.
The Aries moon deeply affects the subconscious, so this is a very good time to go within. A good time to meditate, do yoga, anything that makes you feel more connected to the higher part of yourself. Aries also affects the workplace, so it is a good time to think about future projects, just don’t make final decisions. You might also find yourself tempted to make rash decisions during this time, so be on the look-out for that. Aries also stimulates the metabolism, so it’s a very good time to do physical exercise, just be careful to not over-do. If you are feeling frustration during this time, just take some deep breaths and know that this too shall pass!
And always remember, Astrology and other tools are simply that – tools. It’s good information to have, but it does not mean that this is the determining factor or controlling your life. We all have free will in all the choices that we make. I like to look at it as good information that can be transcended.

When the Moon is in Pisces, it is an incredible time for deep spirituality, deep emotions and deep intuition. You will feel very sensitive during this time and it’s important to not allow those emotions and sensitivities to tip into despair, as you can utilize this time to your advantage by going within.
By doing so, you can receive incredible insights as the past and present seem to merge together. Your imagination and dreams will be very strong during this time. If you find yourself leaning towards negative thoughts during this time, stay away from alcohol or drugs, as this time fuels the energy of addiction. On the other hand, it can be an incredibly creative time, especially for poetry, music, painting, etc. If you do work or activities that require concentration, be extra careful. The risk of fungal diseases is higher now; avoid surgery of the feet. This is one of the most mystical times – so take good advantage of that.

When the Moon is in Aquarius, you will feel an interest in new things, far out things. There is a sense of emotional detachment during this time. There is more of a focus on ideas and intellectual pursuits than on emotional connection.
You may feel a bit more blunt during this period and other people may be more blunt with you. This could actually cause tenseness in your relationships, so be aware of that. For most people during this time, friends become more important than family. More focus might be placed on people in general as opposed to individuals (social consciousness).
This is a good time for people working with technology, with electricity and electronics and other types of science. New and original (even unconventional) ideas can best be fostered during this time. This is a very good time to do things to strengthen your cardio-vascular system. Be careful with your joints, veins and eyes. Be careful when handling electrical appliances. This is an excellent time for meeting with groups or in clubs and a wonderful time to contemplate (but not decide on) a new adventure in your life.

When the Moon is in Capricorn it’s a time of being dependable and following through. People will be working harder and it’s a wonderful time to really utilize your concentration and your focus.
Capricorn is continually striving for financial security, so making efforts along that line will be very good. People may seem a little more stern during this time (as they are focused on their own concentrated efforts). But within the family, this is a time that brings out familial connection. It’s a very good time to begin construction or to sell real estate and it’s a very good time for communication with influential people. Be careful of your knees during this time. Also, be careful to not expose yourself to colds. This is also a time when skin ailments can flare up. It is a very good time to do anything that involves really utilizing your will power.

When the Moon is in Sagittarius it is a time of enthusiasm, idealism, generosity and it ignites desires for adventure and travel. People are generally very expansive during this time and it’s also a time that brings out our desire for independence. For work, this is a wonderful time for expansion, especially if your work has to do with studying, teaching, anything having to do with travel or foreign lands. It’s also a wonderful time to attend workshops or seminars or for any type of outdoor recreation.
Sagittarius rules the lungs, so be very careful of your lungs and respiratory system. This is not a good time for medical procedures that involve the lungs, but a wonderful time to use breath as a healing practice. It’s also not a good time to start building or construction. Also be on the look-out for people being untruthful with you (including stealing from you) and be careful to not over-indulge in gambling. If you are feeling restless, just take a breath and remember, “this too shall pass”.

The Moon in Scorpio brings out deep emotions and also connects with our intuition and the unknown. It is a very good time to activate deeper levels of your consciousness and to access deeper levels of your intuition.
Scorpio is a very sexual sign, so it is a good idea to avoid sexual entanglements, but it can be a wonderful time to connect on a deeper level emotionally with your Beloved. Because emotions can be so strong and intense during this time, it’s a good idea to avoid family gatherings, especially where they may turn volatile. In work, Scorpio is a wonderful time for deep focus and concentration of the mind. It’s a very auspicious time for psychologists and psychiatrists and for people who work with the sciences, because of this focus on concentration of the mind. Be very careful of over-indulging in food or alcohol and be mindful of caring for the sexual organs, endocrine system and the large intestine. Best to avoid surgery of these areas during this time. But remember that Scorpio is a very sexy sign, so have some fun!

The Moon is Void of Course today (January 22) from 10:50 PM (Eastern) until January 23 at 4:43 PM (Eastern) and the Moon is in Libra.

When the Moon is in Libra, we have a deep desire for harmony and balance and to be in right relationship. This includes all relationships – love, work, friends, family. It is usually a good time for tact and impartiality, as people are seeing both sides of an issue. We have a real desire to connect and to be in partnership. It is a good time to work out existing problems.
This can be a time when emotions are expressed very freely. This is typically a time when it is very difficult to make decisions, so just decide not to make any decisions, especially because the Moon is Void of Course!
Now is a very auspicious time for work, especially in those areas where teamwork is required. This period is especially auspicious for those in the artistic fields because this is a time of heightened sensitivity to beauty and aesthetics.
It is also a good time for the work of psychologists and attorneys because of the craving for balance and justice.
Be very careful with your spine, waist, adrenal glands and the kidneys and it’s a good time to avoid surgery in those areas.
Enjoy this time of balance!

The Moon is Void of Course today (January 20) at 3:55 PM (Eastern) until January 21 at 7:43 AM (Eastern) and the Moon is in Virgo.
The Moon is Void of Course today from and the Moon is in Virgo. Don’t make any important decisions while the Moon is Void of Course. For a deeper explanation of Moon Void of Course Click Here.
Virgo is very detailed oriented and is the sign that is the most critical and judgmental. But Virgos are also very helpful and very intelligent, so utilize this energy wisely. It is a wonderful time for making lists and organizing things. It’s an especially good time for cleaning anything out. Clear your home of anything no longer needed or useful, clean your mind of any thoughts or beliefs that are no longer serving you and clean your body so that it feels the way you want it to feel. Virgo rules the intestines, so it’s a wonderful time for cleansing.
It is a good time to really look at and reflect on the details of your life. It is not a good time to discuss your performance or merits in your job or in a relationship, as people will tend to be more critical during this time. This is a time when you will feel more of a desire to help other people and other people will feel a desire to help you. What a win-win!

The Moon is Void of Course today (January 18) at 3:51 AM (Eastern) until January 18 at 8:23 PM (Eastern) and the Moon is in Leo.
The Moon is Void of Course today from and the Moon is in Leo. Don’t make any important decisions while the Moon is Void of Course. For a deeper explanation of Moon Void of Course Click Here.
Leo is the lion and during this time we will feel strong and confident. We will have a desire to feel beautiful and to be perceived as beautiful. Our inner child is connected with the Leo Moon, so it is a wonderful time to love ourselves a little more deeply.
This is a time when creativity will really flow, so do everything you can to nurture that. A wonderful time not only for creative pursuits, but creative thinking. Leo (and the Sun) always want to be the center of attention, so resist the misconception that “everything revolves around you”. It’s a wonderful time for parties and celebrations. Be especially careful of your heart and spine at this time.
And always remember, Astrology and other tools are simply that – tools. It’s good information to have, but it does not mean that this is the determining factor or controlling your life. We all have free will in all the choices that we make. I like to look at it as good information that can be transcended.
