June 26th, 2010 Born Under a Bad Sign? Can you read the symbols?
I wish I had a dollar (ok, let’s make that a ten!) for every time I’ve heard someone say they were born under a bad sign. What is a bad sign? What do you know about signs and symbols? I didn’t study semiotics in college but I did learn to pay attention to certain things as as a child and later as an adult.
You can’t blame everything on the circumstances of your birth. Whether the stars were in your favor when you were born or not only means you may face more obstacles than most on your journey. How you choose to deal with those obstacles are up to you. The choices you make are what impacts your life.
What are factors are you considering when making life choices? Here’s where the signs and symbols come in. Are you making choice based strictly on wants/needs/desires or being objective and looking around for a sign as to which way to go? I’m speaking from experience when I say, the easiest way to take the wrong path in life is ignore objectivity, reason and signs of divination and go with carnal desires, emotional needs and wants. Trust me, you will learn a lesson the hard way!
I can hear you now…so tell us what are the signs and symbols we need to look for? How about the clouds in the sky? Do they look like shapes to you? Is there an animal nearby? How about a representation of a particular animal? What does that animal symbolize? For example, if I had just met a man who was sweeping me off my feet, oozing charm and I saw a coyote or maybe someone wearing a sports team jacket with a coyote on it, I would take that as a sign to back away slowly from this trickster.
If you are familiar with runes, I-Ching or other forms of divination that use shapes, take note of these appearing in your surroundings. Signs are everywhere! Listen to sounds…are church bells ringing at an odd time? Train whistle blowing? Hear someone call yours or a relative’s name only they weren’t talking to you? Look at the clouds, pay attention to birds and animals, look for repetitions of particular numbers and colors. Read up on the meaning of each and every one of these. Your spirit guides speak to you in many ways and the signs and symbols found in your environment is a very important one.
