Energies

Certain energies fill our lives

And work to make us whole.

But they can also work against us

When they're out of control.

 

Aries energies are dynamic,

Ambitious, though sometimes obsessive.

If they get out of whack, we can be

Impatient and aggressive.

 

Taurus energies make us feel

Practical, stable, and grounded.

But when they make us stubborn and rigid,

Our problems are then compounded.

 

Gemini energies have an effect

On self-expression and learning.

But if they make us manipulative,

That can be concerning.

 

Cancer energies give us a kind,

Nurturing, loving feeling.

But oversensitivity

Can be unappealing.

 

Leo energies help us shine

And lead, but I must mention

That we can be a bit too much

If we crave too much attention.

 

Virgo energies lead us to serve

Others and be analytical.

But sometimes they make us too uptight,

Stern and overcritical.

 

Libra energies lead us toward

Balance and mediation.

But doubt and passive-aggressiveness

Can be a complication.

 

Scorpio energies grant us with

Emotional depth and power.

But if we become TOO intense,

Interactions will sour.

 

Sagittarius energies make us

Travel, seek, and explore.

But if those desires are stifled at all,

Life can be a bore.

 

Capricorn energies drive us to meet

Our goals, which makes us cheerful.

But if we lose self-trust, we can be

Insecure and fearful.

 

Aquarius energies give us gumption

To fight for many a cause.

But we can be distant and cold if our

Efforts are put on pause.

 

Pisces energies tend to make us

Sensitive and creative,

Unless we become a victim or martyr,

Which can be suffocative.

 

"Know thyself," they say. That means

To let your inner strength guide you.

Focus on positive energies that

Swirl around inside you.
