Your weekly angel cards for October 15-21, 2018
Forgiveness and compassion - especially for yourself - are the big theme for this week, so it looks like some of you have some work to do in terms of letting go of past resentments and hurts. Taking care of your physical health - in particular, moving your body more - also comes through strongly.

The problem with trying to find yourself
Recently an old school friend whom I’d lost touch with reached out to say she’d discovered One Grounded Angel on Facebook. She enjoyed my posts, and wanted to let me know she was happy to see that I had ‘found myself’. While I appreciate the sentiment – I know she had good intentions – I couldn’t help cringeing at the suggestion that up until now my life had been lacking.
I totally understand how this idea happens, though. I meet so many people convinced that there’s something missing in their lives, and if they just find that one thing – be it the perfect job, partner, dress size, belief system or location – all their insecurities, pain and unpleasant emotions will disappear. There seems to be this belief that if they could just stumble upon what they were ‘supposed’ (ugh – I hate that word!) to be doing with their lives all along, they’ll become happy and complete, and they’ll know who they really are.

The planet Venus goes retrograde on October 5 until November 16, 2018, which means you could have dramas in love – for example, small issues and misunderstandings with your lover could get blown way out of proportion, singles will find the dating pool suddenly dries up and shaky relationships could crumble like a wedding cake on Nailed It.
