Okay friends, so I know what you might be thinking here… for anyone that knows me, I love the musical version of Phantom of the Opera. I have been blessed to see this staged, and I have even seen the most recent version of the movie/musical. However, this post isn’t going to highlight that version of the movie or the staged version. The version of Phantom I’m going to discuss and do a reading on was released in 1925. This version stars Lon Chaney, Mary Philbin, and Norman Kerry and was directed by Rupert Julian. The story highlights a mad, disfigured composer who seeks the love of a young opera singer and the journey he goes on to try and win her affections.

Okay, so what I’m seeing here is that you’re likely in a state of active waiting on a project that you’ve been working diligently on for a while. You’re unsure of the progress, or the fact that you seem to not be seeing forward movement on it. The reason this may be toxic to you is that it feels like you’re overthinking things a bit. The thing that I believe might help here is taking a look at what you have at your disposal because you might find that you have what it takes to take care of yourself and your family, with plenty besides that. It will be dark and it might seem like you don’t have a path through, but you’re not seeing the light ahead of you. In order to use these loving energies best, you need to know that in spite of all of this, you have an opportunity to grow and make your way through, in spite of things. What is all of this asking you? Well for one, let go of the disappointments in your space right now; those aren’t serving you at all. Brighter horizons and new pastures are available and waiting for you to seed and water them with your talents and passions. In doing this work for yourself, you’ll inspire others to do the same thing for themselves. The thing that will help you really come alive is to let the mask drop and to do this, you need to check yourself and others because perhaps there are some motives that aren’t going to help, but also CELEBRATE yourself, your community, and the fact that you have made it here. Job well-done friend. Job well done.
