Working
with powerful people or objectives,
you are able to assert your individuality and be noticed. This
month calls for you to develop balance in all endeavors. Look
at your life as though it were an organization. Who are the
role players within? Where do things mesh, and where are you
locked in an internal battle with yourself? Create a round table
in your mind’s eye where all aspects of your personality
can speak their truth without censorship. As you listen and
direct the reaction towards a more harmonious internal flow,
you can duplicate this concept in your outer world. Where is
your life lopsided? Where is more harmony required, and more
quality time needed? You are the director, and have the opportunity
to make your life of symphony of possibilities. With effort,
everything is possible!

This
month requires an attitude of gratitude.
There are things that come to term, other things that require
release, and an internal quality of clearing as you determine
what is valuable to maintain in your psyche, and what attitudes
can be dissolved as they no longer are adequate to who you have
become. Whatever goes out of your life this month is a timed
event. Its purpose has come to completion. When you see everything
from a standpoint of being a gift, even hard realities take
on new meaning, for there is something within them that is meant
for your greater growth and development. Faith is the bird that
sings in the dark, knowing the dawn will come. And as you hold
to that knowledge, life will bring possibilities that make your
heart sing. Everything is timing…and right now, it’s
a time of clearing and a time for praise.

You
may be impatient with restrictions
and want to leap on a symbolic white charger, galloping full
speed ahead. It’s a great time for making new connections,
developing ideas, and tackling old projects from a new angle.
Opportunities to demonstrate your stamina, courage, and self-reliance
are provided. You may take the lead in a project or find yourself
wanting to break away to start something new. No matter how
the month unfolds, the challenge is in how you assert yourself.
This is a test of using reasoned self-discipline versus impetuous
action based on impulsiveness. Give others the dignity of their
input that you would want in return, but remember that all decisions
must be made by you in the final analysis. It’s a strengthening
month, so use it well…and take advantage of the possibilities!

There
can be flashes of brilliance this month
that re-ignite your passion or bring new projects to mind. It’s
a month of communication, and you need to connect with those
who can be valuable partners for future projects. Everything
is timing this month. Be aware of what you need and what others
expect. Weed out the elements in your life that are getting
in the way of inner peace. Forge alliances with those who can
provide stepping-stones to a brighter future. Quality is vital
now. Choose only thoughts, food, and relationships that are
uplifting to you. There may be a sudden break or new connection,
but regardless, do things that nourish and ground your spiritual
well being and physical health. When those flashes of insight
come, make sure you translate them into something understandable
to share with others.

July
offers opportunities to play, express yourself,
and find ways to beautify your life. This is a very powerful
combination of expansion and delight. If you harness the energy
creatively, you can be extremely persuasive, inspire groups
of people, and can motivate others to do well. You have a heightened
gift of attraction now, and can benefit financially and personally
through connecting to the right investments or people. The challenge
will be not to get swept into other people’s emotional
trauma or drama. You may have a tendency to self-sacrifice for
those you love, and there might be issues related to children
or to you as the child in a family system that is emotionally
draining. You can have compassion without being overwhelmed,
and you can help without losing yourself. Be a little more detached,
and find the stage waiting for you to shine your light with
abandon. It’s time!

During
July the focus is on practicality
and how you have built the foundations within your life. Where
are they solid, and where wobbly? Rites of passage (including
marriage, divorce, birth, and death) may present themselves.
You are able to view your reactions to old patterns within relationships
in new ways. Recognizing where an outworn response gets nowhere,
you have an opportunity to make major breakthroughs by shifting
your focus. This can include popping illusions, eliminating
rigid belief systems, or seeing where a family system that you
were embroiled in limited your options. Now, by pushing a little
harder to make the breakthrough within yourself, you have an
opportunity to be freed of outworn patterns, and through your
willingness to risk to the unknown, can transform areas of your
life that bring a whole new meaning to the concept of freedom
of expression.

It’s
a month of travel, change of plans, expansion,
unexpected visitors, and many ideas and activities. But there
is also a restless quality that may cause you to leap before
you look. Be discerning, and avoid gamesmanship. Read fine print
carefully on contracts, and if there are legal issues, make
sure you are well represented. Someone may try to sell you a
bill of goods, promising the moon. If something seems too good
to be true, it probably is not a wise venture. There are those
who may want to engage in power trips, using you as their pawn.
Your protection lies in the clarity of your own motivation.
Harness your energy into projects where action is required.
You can accomplish a great deal during this time if you focus,
and will feel satisfaction in your accomplishments. When you
are tempted to try to control all the variables, take a deep
breath and let Divine Resource bring you what is rightfully
yours. Then you are engaged in right action and have nothing
to regret.

It’s
an intense year. There is much required
calling for greater flow and balance. The focus this month is
on your health, relationships, and sense of responsibility.
You may be singled out for praise and appreciation through your
willingness to help others. This can include increased financial
compensation. You also are asked to take care of health issues.
Stress can cause issues that require attention. All things require
balance, and wherever there is constriction, you need to find
harmonious ways to bring them back into harmonious flow. Expectations
can lead to disappointment. Develop a level of tolerance that
follows the idea of “live and let live.” You don’t
need to compromise your values to appease someone else, but
give them the same consideration in return. There are many paths
to the top of the mountain…some faster and others more
meandering. The point is that we are all ultimately headed in
the same direction, and you can make your journey sweeter and
more enjoyable by remembering that.

This
is an inward time. There are things to contemplate,
and time needed to restore your equilibrium. You may require
more rest or sleep, or want to retreat to a beautiful place
in nature where you can refresh your spirit. Deeper pursuits
or understanding are very beneficial. Any feelings of isolation
or loss are overcome by going deeper into the wellspring of
your own spiritual pool. There is a bigger plan unfolding. There
are elements that require adjustment or re-orientation, but
all of it is to help you release burdens from the past that
are no longer appropriate, and to open to possibilities that
you may not have thought about. Restoration is a good watchword
for this month. You may have found something of great value
to focus on, and during this time you can gather the clues that
will unlock the secrets to the answers you are seeking.

| Overview
for 2002 |
|
1
|
This
year begins a new cycle for you, and many doors may open.
There is still something from the past that needs to be completed,
but your opportunity is to identify new arenas for your energy
and focus, and for planting seeds of new concepts and endeavors.
Tests will arise to help you identify where you are reacting
out of impulse or using a reasoned, self-disciplined approach
to problem solving. At times, there may be a great desire for
liberation or freedom, and in a 1 year you can take the quick
and easy route that leads you on a very long and unexpected
journey, or you can gather yourself and ask what you need to
learn from the situation at hand, and how you can move through
it gracefully, with concern for the well-being and dignity of
all concerned. Maturity and immaturity play themselves out in
the 1 year. You will learn a lot about yourself and how you
deal with challenges. It is a time of character building, requiring
courage, fortitude, determination, and willingness to listen
to higher guidance. In the end, you have to make the decisions
that affect your life, so make sure you are communing with the
best advisors. As the pioneer, you begin your new adventure.
Forward, Ho!

After
last year's headlong rush, you now pause to reflect. You
move out of impulse and into reasoning. This year requires patience,
understanding the importance of timing, and the need to look
beyond the surface for answers. If you try to logic things out,
you may be confused. When you utilize the gifts of prayer and
meditation, you will gain insight into the why's and wherefores
of your life. Nothing can be hurried, and yet there are moments
where you engage in sudden connections or disconnections. Quality
is a key ingredient - the caliber of your interactions with
others, with your own thinking process, and with the foods you
eat. Appearances can be misleading, so move into a feeling level
and follow your hunches. In all things this year, faith is the
answer. Believe in something greater, and even if it cannot
be seen, hold out your hand and walk with trust that you are
being guided through what might at times be confusing. The only
way out is in, so allow the incubation process to take place.
Like pregnancy, this year requires waiting and nurturing so
that the healthy flowering of your gifts may come to birth.

Sensitivity
and emotions that cropped up last year continues. Whereas
last year you had to reflect and let things unfold in time,
now you are asked to express yourself more freely. Take some
risks and allow for your creative spirit to be more center-stage.
Be playful and find humor in absurdity. You are the one to whom
others will come for emotional support, or you may need it yourself.
Be sure to set boundaries, and know when enough is enough. Children
can be gratifying or an issue, or you may deal with the child
within yourself. The focus is on the creative spirit behind
all things that seeks to bring more color, light-heartedness,
and joy into your life. If you feel repressed, it's time to
release the inhibiting factors. Being open to life's possibilities
does not mean abandoning those you love. However, it does mean
knowing when to let go of other people's drama and find the
light that is searching for you. Life is a stage, and this is
your year to shine. You can gain financially and romantically
also, so find the elements that make life worth living and enjoy
them!

Out
of emotions and into practicality. This year requires that
you look at all the foundations within your life and psyche.
Where are they constructed on strong principles, and where are
they wobbly? Time to define and determine your course of action,
lay the groundwork, and start building. The past two years have
been based on emotional responses and sensitivity to subtleties.
Now, earth calls. It's time to ground ideas and form alliances
with those who can help you get things done. Results are required.
There are concerns for safety and security issues. Dependability
is important. Are you building for the future or undoing edifices
that have outlived their usefulness? Whether you are in the
midst of construction or deconstruction, forge your bond with
truth, beauty, and goodness. As you set your own cornerstone,
you become a grounding rod for others who look to you for sage
advice.

Tides
and time change. So do we. This mid-point year in your nine-year
cycle asks you to open to expanding horizons. This may mean
moving, changing direction, traveling, involving yourself in
new ideas or widening your framework of knowledge. It is a year
of activity, whether physical or mental. It may cause you to
feel somewhat anxious at times, or restless with status quo.
By all means, be exuberant and enthusiastic, but make sure you
are aware of how many hours are in the day and how much time
you really can allocate to all the things you want to accomplish.
5 requires being discriminating and discerning, as the tendency
to jump into things may preclude good judgment. Be aware of
the rights of others and the need to march to your own drumbeat
as well. Freedom is important. So is kindness. You may experience
liberation in one form or another this year. Meet the opportunities
and challenges with open arms, for there is a lot to gain from
the experiences of this year.

This
year the focus is on service, health and well-being. You
are a caregiver, or the recipient of assistance. You are concerned
with how you are perceived, how the world views your accomplishments,
if you are doing enough, and if others are appreciating your
efforts. Everything revolves around the idea of personal contribution
within the context of family or work environs. Your level of
expectation dictates feelings of warmth and contentedness or
resentment towards duties and obligations. The opportunity is
to do what you do with a loving heart. Know that the task is
to help others become capable in their own right, not foster
dependence. Giving and receiving are two sides of the same coin,
and it's important to engage in both. Honor your commitments,
but determine where it's time to negotiate what doesn't feel
appropriate anymore. As you appreciate your life, it becomes
one to appreciate. When you resent what's in front of you, you
have much to resent. In all you do love paves the way for peace
of mind and contentment of spirit. It is achievable. Now.

The
focus of this year is a deeper connection to life. There
is more to living than acquisition, and as you find yourself
wanting more time for retreat or space to do what is important
to you, questions may be rising as to who you are, why you are
here, and what the purpose of your life is. Pursue these. The
7th year is time for reflection, and deepening your spiritual
nature. Knowledge is important. You may want to spend time with
a special interest or be in nature where you feel restored.
Over-activity is debilitating in the 7th year. Tests are presented
that push you to uncover your true nature. Resolution of an
old relationship may take place, or you can meet someone you
feel you've known forever. Take time to smell the flowers and
to get the rest you need. This year is a time for recharging
your batteries and soul searching. As you do, you will be pleasantly
surprised by what you find!

Prepare
for an intense ride! This year calls you to pursue your
goals with determination, and to direct your efforts with an
eye to balance and integration. Life is a systems approach right
now, and you are the grand programmer. It is important to know
when to direct your efforts and when to let creative process
take place. Too much is overwhelming. Too little is ineffective.
Recognize where you need time for the many different facets
of yourself, than set about making space for them. If you have
a project that consumes you, make sure you know when to stop
to make room for significant others in your life. The delicate
art of balancing a life is called for now. Not always easy.
When you feel stress and tension arise, it signals that you
need to relax. Sound and movement can ease tension. A little
fountain in your workspace can also help. The physical shape
of 8 demonstrates what is called for; flow with the river -
don't fight upstream!

During
this year you have nine year's worth of experience to digest
and reconcile. It's a year of looking backwards so that you
can remove the obstacles that are in the way to movement forward.
Release attachment to all things no longer pertinent. Let the
past be the past so the present and future can unfold without
dead weight holding you back. What have you outgrown? Who is
no longer moving in the same direction? Where do you need to
let go with love and release attitudes that restrict you? This
year calls you to maturity. It's time to grow into your higher
and best nature, not massage your limitations. When you feel
gratitude for everything left in your life, you open a subtle
energy force that draws more good to you. When you dwell on
loss, you attract that, too. Recognize that there is a bigger
plan unfolding. Find your way to the metaphorical mountain top
so you can see the whole view. It is an amazing journey and
your contribution is important.
