The positive influence of Odu Ejilashebora gives you an aura of royalty and authority wherever you are. Charisma and good mood will guide your steps over the next few weeks, and the time has come to count on other people’s help to achieve your biggest goals just for being the way you are – that’s what everyone around you has learned to admire and respect.

Intriguing and persuasive, you know the right way to say even the hardest things with a smile on your face. With that in mind, it may be useful to hear what Orisha Shango advises: it is time to get clarity in all kinds of relationships: romantic, familiar and professional. For that to happen, use the sociability and persuasive skills that Odu Ejilashebora gives you for now so that all unresolved issues are finally settled.

At the same time, remember that the balance of justice is impartial, so why not take some time to meditate on your words and actions before pointing fingers? Remember to honor the royalty that Orisha Shango holds with his crown: everyone ahs the right to be wrong, but no good can come when we lie to ourselves and insist on blaming others without first taking a deep look at our soul and assuming responsibility for our flaws and mistakes. Honesty – with others, of course, but mainly with yourself – is the key that will lead you to success at this point in your life.

Nevertheless, as Ejilashebora is the Odu which celebrates all pleasures of life, its influence brings you a hedonistic breath in the midst of life’s urgencies, which you should enjoy so you can remember happiness even when the storms of fate are on you. So take a few days to care for yourself, preparing your favorite food. Or take time during your work to grab a coffee with someone you love or the weekend to get outdoors for that break you’ve been dreaming of. Facing life with seriousness has been your daily routine; enjoy the peaceful moment the gods have given to you.

Ejilashebora’s Empowering ritual: On a Full Moon Wednesday, write your personal and professional development wishes in pencil on a piece of paper and place it on a plate. Cut a pomegranate horizontally in half and place both halves on the paper with the juicy red seeds facing up. On each half, place six golden coins and, in between them, a red candle. Surround the offering with 12 pieces of ginger root and 12 corncobs, creating a symbolic sun. While the candle burns, meditate and pray to Orisha Shango to bring you his royalty and wisdom to conquer all challenges and goals in life.
