Change isn't always easy or fun but it's worth it.
By Christine Schoenwald — Written on May 09, 2017
Life changes occur even when you don’t want it to, and sometimes it happens without notice when you're least expecting it.
Are you the same person you were 10 years ago? The chances are that you're not the same at all — you’ve grown, evolved, and morphed into a different you. You may still be the same at your core — that may never change — but in other ways, you’re different.
We don't stay the same and our life reflects those changes, no matter how big or small they may be. You may have a different job or marital status, and that’s going to change everything. What if you move or suffer an illness?
Sometimes we’re desperate for our lives to change and will do whatever we can to instigate something happening. If we’ve got a lot of unhealthy habits and know we’ve got a history of cancer or heart disease in our family, we may make the decision to eat better and to exercise and when we do that our life changes, or if our landlord is selling the building, we know we’ve got to find a new place to live.
There are other times when our life changes and the transformation seems to come from out of nowhere. When a change is so great, it can feel as if the foundation of our entire life has shifted and we feel off-kilter and unbalanced.
Before a major life transformation, there can be signs or clues that it’s about to happen. These signals can feel uncomfortable or painful, and you can personally feel off. If you are aware of them, they might not be so scary or confusing and you can prepare yourself for the upcoming change.
Our zodiac signs can tell us so much about ourselves and our lives, and they can be helpful in deciphering the signals that a transformative change is about to happen in our lives.

While you may just think that you're coming down with something because of your flu-like symptoms of low energy, you could be going through an energy purge. When change is about to occur, the body and the spirit feel the need get rid of all the slow-moving, stagnant energy that could be causing blockages. This energy purge can manifest itself as a physical illness but what it's really doing is helping you adjust to upcoming change.

Your relationships start to change and become more difficult. We learn a lot about ourselves from our relationships — when your partner does something that drives you insane, it's usually because it's something that you do. When our relationships suddenly become tense and strained, it's because something needs to change — either they aren't the person for you or you need to change how you deal with one another.
