Luck (dumb or smart): Make the most of it!

OK, so if you’ve been reading anything I’ve written, particularly within the past month or so, you know that I firmly believe that there are times that are more favorable than others for doing certain things. For example, there are times when communications are supported and other times when it seems like the most innocent attempt at communication brings great misunderstanding. I’m willing to bet that you have experienced this.

On my Facebook page www.facebook.com/astrologybyjackleen, I have posted several “Lucky Day Alerts” about times when certain activities are generally more favored than at other times. And when I do individual sessions, I can tell you what your specific lucky times are during the month. In my humble opinion, knowing this can be worth hundreds of times more than the small cost of a session—if you know how to use these times!

So whether you get the real scoop on your own lucky transits, or just look at my Facebook posts for general lucky days, or even if you just wake up on any given day feeling lucky and want to make the most of your luck, read on.

First, it’s all about the feeling. Pure and simple. When you feel good, things “flow” and when you feel cruddy, they don’t. We all know this, but feeling cruddy is a habit for many of us, and it’s a sticky one. I know this because I’m a Capricorn, (which I sometimes affectionately refer to as ‘Crap-ricorn’) so I wasn’t born into optimism. And I didn’t grow into it too easily, either.

But if you think of luck on its most basic level, gambling and games of chance come to mind. I’m not a big gambler, but I know that unless I’m feeling fantastic, I’m not winning anything. The same goes for raffles.

So, when you’re in one of these lucky periods, the best thing you can do is feel good. I don’t know about you, but for me the best feeling is a meditative feeling. Doing actual meditation, yoga or other exercise, as well as being present is a good way to bring out that feeling.

Of course there are a ton of other ways to bring out the joy that is naturally within you, but the key to creating unshakable well-being is to recognize that it’s not the outer circumstance that makes you joyful or less-than-joyful, it’s that you’re allowing your inner joy to express itself through your feelings.

The second suggestion is to have an intention, something reachable to accomplish within the designated lucky time period. When I talk about these lucky days or hours, I usually advise clients in this way: “Put yourself in the line of luck” during this time. In other words, do something that has the potential to move you forward in some important way. Send out your resume, headshots, poetry or marketing materials. Or perhaps enter a contest, play a game of chance, ask for a promotion, take a calculated risk…the list goes on. But whatever you do, be joyful about the possibilities of it, while maintaining enough detachment to allow it, or something better to happen in whatever way it may choose to happen.

A caveat to this is to not be overly goal-oriented. I’m always telling clients that it’s the quality of being centered and tuned in to your inner joy (I like to call this being in the inner circle) that is what’s most important. In other words, if you’re speeding to accomplish a goal, getting more and more harried and anxious to where you find yourself reacting strongly to each seeming obstacle that presents itself, it’s time to pull off to the side of the road and do some deep belly breathing.

If you’re using these lucky times, whether your personal ones, or the more general good times, to accomplish things, one way to make sure you get the most bang for your buck is to plan and prepare how you will use the minutes, hours or days most effectively. When I know I have a lucky transit coming up—especially one involving Mercury or Saturn (yes, Saturn transits can be lucky, but you definitely have to be disciplined and focused), I usually do some planning and prep work (such as getting my work area clean and organized) to keep myself on task.

Most “luck” is really preparation coupled with vision meeting the right circumstances. While there is such a thing as beginner’s luck or “dumb” luck, most of the time luck knows exactly what it’s doing. Most of the time, it favors those who are actively living into a vision, who actually already see themselves with the goods. In other words, luck is pretty smart.

And since like attracts like, if your energy is on the same wavelength as the energy of luck (meaning very high vibration and good-feeling), no matter what is going on with the planets, you’re in the process of making your own good fortune.
