| First- go into action for yourself and find the right professionals. You may need a doctor, alternative medical practitioner, therapist, attorney, financial or tax advisor. If you are in serious trouble, you are likely having bad transits, so there is something to be said for using a professional you already know if possible- this avoids natalizing a new professional relationship during negative stars. Get referrals to find the best practitioners. If the first person you consult doesn't feel right, seek out someone else. If in doubt along the way, get a second opinion. | |||||

Reaching out for extra support is a central
strategy during crisis times- even if you are a strong person and usually
don't need outside help. Some ideas: Call all your friends, even those you haven't seen for a while. You may be surprised who will show up for you. Find a support group and go often!
Find a great bodyworker and get therapeutic massages. |

It's vitally important
to make every effort
to keep your coping mechanisms as healthy as possible during crisis times. Some things that we may become dependent upon during a crisis, such as an addiction of some kind, can later become serious problems in their own right. Don't compound your problems. Never solve a short-term problem by creating a long-term one! |

Be patient. Sometimes we
can't resolve a crisis until the astrological cycles that contributed to the
crisis have passed. Usually crisis times are clearly indicated by difficult transits or progressions to our chart. During these times, our normal luck is not with us, so "desperate" or irresponsible actions often create more problems than they solve. Again- don't do anything which may compound your problems. If there is no immediate resolution, the best course is often to SURRENDER your situation to God. Surrender may not solve your crisis, but often you can achieve the peace of mind that can allow you to continue on. Then, when challenging astrological cycles give way to positive ones, your situation will often resolve itself. |

Deepen
your personal spirituality. A spiritual base can give you the
internal resources you need to weather many storms. If you have a satisfying
spiritual practice, give your practice extra time and reach within it for
some new dimension. If you aren't
clear what type of spirituality is comfortable to you, try doing some
searching with an open mind. Follow your hunches. Remember that you don't
have to please anyone else. You may find your spiritual home within a traditional religion, or elsewhere. Those that feel that they have exhausted traditional sources may find answers in:
Remember that as you grow and evolve, so will your spiritual beliefs and practice. Open your heart, and find your own way to become One with the Divine. |

Pray and Meditate
It has been said that prayer is talking to God,
and meditation is listening to God. Take time to talk, and to listen. If you're not sure how to pray, you can try these steps. Remember the acronym I-N-S-I-G-H-T-S Invocation- Call upon the presence of God/Goddess/All That Is, feel the rush of Divine energy, feel Oneness with the InfiniteNumber- Count your blessings one by one Surrender- Surrender yourself, your thoughts, feelings, body, spirit, relationships, situations, and problems to the Infinite- "Thy will be done" Intentions- State your intentions: things, situations that I want and intend for myself- "Ask and ye shall receive" Gifts- Send out wishes and prayers for others Healing- Ask for assistance in the healing and the forgiveness of people and situations Thanks- Thank the Creator for his/her help and attention Send it out- Release your prayer into the Universe, knowing that as it is released, it is accomplished- "And so it is"

No matter
how chaotic life might be feeling, you can always put some part of your life
into order. Organize a drawer, a cupboard, a closet. Give away, throw away or recycle unnecessary clutter. Clean thoroughly. Put what's left into some logical order. You can also organize a file cabinet, put your finances into Quicken, or anything. It doesn't matter how small your area is- it's actually better to start small so you can easily make it perfect and keep it so. Let this one part of your life be a model for more of your life in the future- a promise to yourself. Whenever the chaos feels overwhelming, open your drawer or whatever and remember this IS possible. |

| Find a way to make a contribution to others. Focus time and energy on those less fortunate than yourself. Advance your specific cause or another worthy cause. Help a friend. Listen to someone else's problems. Find a purpose that is larger than yourself. | |||||

| Remember that good stars follow bad stars and good times follow bad times. Remember that you're not alone in having challenges- this too is part of the human experience. You can get through this if you make up your mind to do so. Don't let yourself be defined by your losses. Get up and try again. And again. You can do it! You probably have more people praying for you and rooting for you, and more Angelic protection than you know. Be as peaceful as you can. Keep Breathing. | |||||
