Unleash the Beast - 5/30

Greetings community,

Hope all is well. This week we return to the beginning of our cycle with the snake. Key among the snake's qualities is its flexibility; it is this quality that leaves the snake vulnerable to external influences. Vulnerability, for the snake as well as for ourselves, should not be considered negative or undesirable. Rather, vulnerability can enable us to recieve others' suggestions (no matter if they are expressed in a positive or negative manner) in a way that allows us to grow and progress.

Strength is often associated with firmness, consistency, and control. One who maintains a set course through chaos tends to be considered strong while one who is swayed by others' opinions tends to be considered weak. But if an individual can be swayed by others' opinions, yet not distracted from his/her ultimate course, then he/she can use those influences to gain greater knowledge of, and to prepare for future ordeals.
