I’m not sure if I’m picking up on the tail-end of Saturn retrograde, but today’s reading is all about delays. When perspective is expanded a bit, we can see delay as a form of stability: a time for pressure relief, and an exceptional opportunity to look at what it is that needs attention, other than our most ambitious desires. How could it be that delays are blessings in disguise? Most things that we feel are elusive and slowed down are simply gestating: waiting for our perspective to expand to the vibration of appreciation that’s needed to fully enjoy them, and vice versa. Fruit that is not ripe is hard, dull and flavorless. We cannot fully appreciate fruit that’s not “ready”,  because it simply doesn’t appeal to our senses the way a nice ripe piece of fruit does.

Almost all things worth having involve their rumination phase, which is something that needs to take place. We put so much more meaning, feeling and thought into delays than we need to; we take them personally and it appears to slows us down even more. Another interesting thing I’m getting along with this reading today: there are plenty of times when what we want is delayed for the sake of other people, yet we often think from our perspective of “I want this and I want it now”. Obviously I’m guilty of this too, and have been for FOREVER (lol). Something I’ve been thinking about a lot, however, is that perhaps the delays present in my life are to the benefit of another’s timeline, or even several timelines outside of my own. How many people do I have the time to stop and connect with, and to try to help, while I wait for my most ambitious dreams to come to fruition? It’s already been many, so far.

It’s time to think of delays as what they really are: they are a perception, with the reality being that things will be given to us at the perfect moment, at a time when the highest good for everyone is enacted.  It’s okay to feel heavy  and weighed down by what hasn’t happened yet; this is a perfectly human way to look at what feels like the slowing of time around exactly what we want to obtain or accomplish. The message today is a gentle reminder that in perfect timing things will move with precision and love in mind, from the Universe. Thanks for reading!
