Events
point to the need for healing. Take good care of yourself
and be prepared to consider the care others need in your environment,
whether for health or emotional support. As you respond to what
is going on with a loving heart, you pave the way for smoother
interactions, and you allow others to show appreciation that may
surprise you. This month requires a slowdown as it is time to
go back to hearth and home and see where you need to mend fences,
and where it is important to let those you love know you are there
for them and are not going to leave them behind. The key to all
dilemmas this month is to respond with a Loving Heart.

You
may need more time to recharge your batteries and restore
yourself. Nature is healing. Quiet times are important. Rest is
restorative. Be still and move into the interior portion of your
life. Come closer to your Creator, and strengthen your spiritual
underpinnings. When you go beyond appearances in the outer world,
you can find a place of peace that transcends chaos and welcomes
you to inner communion. This is important and helps to strengthen
the fabric of your perception so that you can craft your special
gifts into meaningful work.

Striving
for balance is still centered in effort, and so to create
a perfect point of balance and harmony, give yourself to the flow
of life this month. The current may meander or push you through
a rough patch, but as you relax and remain fluid in the face of
multiple pieces of information and objectives, you can integrate,
delegate, and benefit from whatever is presented. Perception dictates
reality, so find a view you want to enjoy!

Many
pieces fall into place as you have something to complete.
When you look at the constructs of your life, be sure to climb
to the metaphorical mountaintop so that you can see the overview
and not be caught in a narrow view. Gratitude is an incredible
mantra, and opens the way for more good to come. Disappointment
and distress are caused through attachment to a way you want things
to be. Let go and trust that something greater is at work. Bring
the gift of larger vision to everything you do and you will feel
helping hands assisting you in completing your objectives.

In
an instant, you can have a revelation that colors your whole
perspective of life. Sudden insights may be life enhancing, or
grand delusions. It’s up to you to determine the quality
of impressions based on whether or not they include dignity for
everyone or seek to set you or your beliefs as the “only”
way. Marriage, divorce, birth, and death…the sudden juxtaposition
of opposites may be evident in your world, calling upon you to
choose everything with an eye to its quality rather than quantity.
Be discerning, loving, and compassionate in all things, and ask
yourself what the benefits of your thoughts, choice in food/drink
and relationships contribute to your life. Choose that which nourishes
and uplifts, and let the rest go.

During
a year of introspection, May offers an island of possibility
for joy, merriment, and celebration. It’s time for you to
be more expressive, creative, and bring your sense of humor forward.
If you allow events or issues of others to pull you down, you
lose a precious opportunity to take advantage of possibilities
that are present. You can motivate, persuade, and inspire…so
allow yourself the gift of laughter and a childlike sense of wonder
even though the storms of life might threaten. Remember that storms
bring water, and after a downpour new growth emerges.

It’s
a month in which to go over plans, objectives, and redefine
your goals. Look at all structured areas of your life and determine
where the foundations are strong and where they are wobbly. Can
you strengthen them without major intervention, or do you need
to rebuild and redo some part of your life? Major life passages
may signal an invitation to push beyond old barriers that have
limited your potential. As you are willing to go the distance
in spite of roadblocks, you can transform parts of yourself that
will greatly benefit from an opportunity for renewal.

Change
is all around, and you may feel irritated with what seems
slow or restrictive. There is need for adventure or to venture
forward in new ways. In this year of completion, you may be willing
to consider possibilities you hadn’t entertained before.
Expanding horizons, make sure you do so with an eye to the wellbeing
of all concerned. Sometimes change for the sake of change leaves
one momentarily stimulated, but disappointed in the long run.
Glamour does not have longevity. The proper sequence of action
is to think things through, and then act. That being said, there
is lots that can be stimulating this month.

| Here’s
how 2003 looks for you |

You
have completed a cycle of nine years
and now open the door to new opportunities and sequence of growth.
The more you released from the past last year, the more room you
made for a dynamic future. Open your mind, be willing to pursue
possibilities, and gather your courage and stamina. It may be
a demanding year, and there will be tests presented related to
your level of maturity. If you allow impulse to rule you, there
can be unpleasant consequences to hasty actions. If you listen
to that still, small voice within that counsels constraint in
the face of temptation, you can further your goals by adhering
to ethics and the Golden Rule.

After
last year’s initial thrust of planting seeds for the
future, this year it’s time for those seeds to germinate.
A lot of inner work is important now, as there can be delays or
frustrations in manifesting everything you want. More time is
required. More data is necessary. Look at the quality of all your
interactions in life, starting with the quality of your own thoughts.
Are you nourishing yourself with positive thinking and good food,
or draining and depleting yourself with doubt, self-criticism,
and junk food? How about your partnerships? Are they supportive
and mutually nurturing, or draining and depleting? It’s time
to weed out what doesn’t contribute to beneficial growth.
Strengthen all aspects that reflect good in your life, and develop
a stronger faith in the many provisions you have been given for
the journey…even when you can’t see them!

After
last year’s requirement for more patience and willingness
to wait for right timing, this year is when the creative bloom
comes forward. Find avenues that allow for greater self-expression,
creativity, imagination, playfulness, humor, and childlike delight.
This is a year of attraction, and when you believe in yourself
and possibilities, you draw them to you. When you feel diminished
or invisible, you become a pawn to emotional blackmail. Find a
merry group of friends, a wonderful outlet for your love of beauty,
and bring a gift of optimism to the many who need it during what
might otherwise be a confusing time. You can inspire and motivate,
so choose people and situations that encourage you to do so!

It’s
time to look at all the structured situations in your life
from relationships to physical foundations of your body and home
and work. Where are things solid, and where are they in need of
shoring up or restructuring? Where do you feel stuck in a rut,
and where are you open to possibilities for a more dynamic future?
Take a personal assessment of safety issues, including your financial
health. Make practical decisions that protect and enhance your
assets, and consolidate your position so you are not overloaded.
Grapple with issues that bring tangible results, and be willing
to risk a little. When you find yourself coming to a hurdle in
the road, jump over it. As you do, you are not only strengthened,
you are transformed!

It’s
a year of change, requiring flexibility and adaptability in
the face of unexpected events or opportunities to expand. It is
time to say “Yes!” to life and open to possibilities.
However, that being said, it’s also important to take on
manageable projects or events. If you overload yourself, you will
find the year slipping away, as you cannot give enough attention
to any one area. Moodiness and critical attitudes are an indication
that you need to re-think what you are doing and moderate your
activities. Regardless of age, there is an adolescent influence
present that wants to go forward without thought of consequences.
Remember that everything is possible, but it requires follow-through
and concern for the well-being and dignity of others in the equation..

After
a busy or changeable year, the focus now is on the value of
whatever you are involved with. You will look at traditions, relationships,
service, health, belief systems, and find yourself taking a position
about what you expect from others, and determining if what they
expect from you is appropriate or not. It’s time for a more
mature approach to your life with consideration given to how you
are perceived within your community, home, and at work. What are
you receiving for what you give, and where are you trying to “fix”
things that are not really your responsibility? Family issues
may be center stage including health concerns. However, as you
adopt an attitude of Love as the answer, you will find what you
need to move through any and all circumstances.

After
last year’s concerns and responsibility, the focus now
is on your deeper needs and soul purpose. Why are you here? What
is the meaning of life, and your part in it? It is low energy
year, and time for rest and recharging your batteries. Any area
of specialized study is helped by this influence, but if you want
to go out and be party animal of the year, you may find your energy
level waning. It’s time to retreat from the world, so to
speak, and find your spiritual sustenance and roots. Taking time
for yourself isn’t rejection of others, it’s simply
an act of self-preservation. More rest, meditation, time spent
in nature, and other ways of achieving solitude are very helpful
to your overall well being. This can be a rich and full year of
insights, greater knowledge, and reinvigoration. Be good to your
body and your psyche, and you’ll be well rewarded as the
cycle continues.

Intense
energy surrounds you and may bubble up from within. It’s
time to organize, manage, direct, and recognize your life as a
system of dynamic energy. You are the analyst, and it’s up
to you to bring greater harmony, more balance, and a feeling of
achievement through your efforts. You can work with others to
accomplish a greater goal, and you can enlist the assistance of
powerful people. As you utilize your abilities and focus your
energy, a great deal is possible. Just remember that you have
multiple needs, not just one. If you over-extend in one area of
your life at the expense of others, you will be out of balance.
The trick to the year is giving to each as is required, leaving
time for rest and enjoyment. Make life a symphony this year, not
a cacophonic mess!

This
is the end of a cycle, and you have the opportunity to review
and release attitudes, situations, and relationships that no longer
work. As you clear out elements of the past that have served their
purpose, you make room for new growth as the next cycle unfolds
next year. By holding on to past hurts, disagreements, or pettiness,
you limit possibilities. It’s time for opportunity thinking,
and this requires going to the top of the metaphorical mountain
to gain perspective of the bigger picture. A loved one may move
on, but if so, it is time. Gratitude for your life exactly as
it is opens the floodgates of grace. As you gain insight about
your life, you can become a beacon of light to others, inspiring
and uplifting through your sharing and caring. This year requires
bigness of character. As you reflect maturity, you honor your
journey and all that this past nine years has meant. This is the
measure of soul growth.
