Self Alignment Can Be The Key: In late February 2026, a rare “planet parade” or alignment will occur, with six planets—Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune—stretching across the sky .
Like the planets it can be rare also for us individuals to have or keep everything in alignment be it our mental well-being, home life, work schedule and so much more.
Creating a perfect alignment can be like searching for Red Rackham’s treasure full of complications, puzzlements and possible pitfalls and quite possibly too hard to find given timescales we might have to do such a thing.
The first action we should take on this elusive search is relaxation. The calm moments we can and should seek in our everyday life. Regulating our breathing by taking deep breaths and lowering our blood pressure can be akin to taking the cloak off of our shoulders that is called the daily grind.
Visualising this can be like when we step across our individual thresholds and firmly but quietly close the door to outside influences after a fraught day in work and expel a great sigh of relief.
The second is mental well-being. The art of retuning ourselves so we learn when bad or unwanted situations, feelings or thoughts enter our psyche is not something we are born with. It is however something we can learn given the right tools or teaching from others.
There is no greater feeling than throwing of the cares of the day sitting back in a comfy chair with your feet up. This obviously will involve possibly a favourite book, tv show, a movie or just simply a nice cup of tea or coffee in your hand. Even if the moment doesn’t last that long it’s a moment worth savouring.
All we have to do is give ourselves the time to enjoy it. A little bit of “Me Time”, isn’t a bad thing and certainly shouldn’t be looked upon as a selfish thing either. After all if we stop and think how much we give to others in a 24 hour period is a little break for yourself really that bad?
Of course it’s not nor should we assume it is for all we are doing is recharging ourselves mentally and physically so we can share the vast majority of our time to others once more should it please use.
The final piece of alignment we should search for is peace. This should be with ourselves as much as with others. Loosing someone can knock us off kilter and fighting with a loved one, friend or a work colleague or family member for example .
This can make us sad, angry and possibly resentful towards others in our lives. We are human after all and at times fighting back is easier than stepping back depending upon the situation causing these issues.
Finding inner peace is not easy nor is it something everyone can master but learning to communicate with ourselves as well as others can certainly help us work the right path that can brings us close to the peace we deserve and should want.
Seeking alignment with ourselves can certainly allows us to find alignment with others in return if we give it a chance.
No one says it is easy and we may not always attain all three of the above at any given time. It will by starting on this journey of alignment help us on the way to find a semblance of balance in our lives.
