Mars has just entered the sign of Leo, motivating and inspiring us to look for joy in the smallest things. Mars is opposed by Pluto over the next couple of days which could put a serious kibosh on this search for happiness, but Mars will be in Leo  until July 10th.

To help us discover more about how to bring joy into our hearts I’ve called on Mary Oliver and her wonderful poem.  I ask that this week you do something kind for yourself that brings you some happiness. 💖

Don’t Hesitate

If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy,
don’t hesitate.

Give in to it.

There are plenty
of lives and whole towns destroyed or about
to be.

We are not wise, and not very often
kind. And much can never be redeemed.

Still, life has some possibility left.

Perhaps this
is its way of fighting back, that sometimes
something happens better than all the riches
or power in the world.

It could be anything,
but very likely you notice it in the instant
when love begins. Anyway, that’s often the
case.

Anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraid
of its plenty.

Joy is not made to be a crumb.
