What is Truth? And how can each of us think we have “the truth” when our ideas and opinions may be so radically different? Sagittarius calls us to look at our ideas and opinions and evaluate them based off whether they are inclusive or exclusive. Does your idea of a perfect world have room in it for those people over there to live their perfect world too? Or would they have to be put on a rez or rounded up and put in a “camp” or burned at the stake for you to be happy?
Truth comes from that deep place within each of us that is connected to Divine source. An individual does not have to solve the problems of the world – so there is no need to attempt to create and impose a “perfect” system upon the world. We know what happens when populations get swept along the path of political idealism. It never ends well. But our individual ideas will be in harmony with the whole if we can allow ourselves to have faith and trust in the inspiration of our heart. This requires a willingness to be open and receptive to our heart’s nudgings. And, most difficult for our intellectually biased civilisation, a willingness to not let thoughts alone be the drivers of change.

To set your intentions it is important to handwrite your intentions on paper – there is something profound about the act of hand writing because your energy and intention flows through your hand and onto the page via the pen. Notice how your handwriting style may change according to your mood, so it reflects more of your inner feelings than typing on a keyboard.
It is recommended to create at least 3 intentions and a maximum of 10. Any more will dilute the energy. Intentions are phrased as wants/wishes and it is important that you write them in a way that activates your feelings so you are emotionally involved with the intention. Write them down as if they have already manifested eg I now have… Note that this is important!
