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.
