Beginnings and endings... this month provides the
opportunity for completing and releasing what no longer serves
your life or movement forward. Let go, let God place the opportunities,
the people, the attitudes, and the blessings in your path. By
releasing your attachment to what confines you, you open yourself
to the bigger picture of what is in store for your future. This
is a year of new beginnings, and this is a month of finalizing
what now needs to be released. Bury the dead that the living
may live... it is a bold statement that has great significance
at this time.

The yin/yang principle confronts you now. You moving
forward as a unique human being, and you in partnership. How
to reconcile differences while still holding true to yourself.
This month requires that you open doors, make necessary connections
for the future, and assert your position in a way that is non-threatening,
but decisive. Paradox, eh? Yes. Always. Follow the clues and
open the doors that provide opportunity to be more of who you
were meant to be, while communing with the angels of your better
nature so that what you bring forth remembers the wellbeing
and dignity of everyone concerned.

You as dancing bear, you as insightful guru... it's
an interesting month of possibilities and duality. Open your
third eye and allow illumined and inspired insights to penetrate
you to core. Also, remember that you are the creative, joyous
force this year - allowing your full expression to blossom.
Who are the nay sayers? Who is your cheering section? Choose
those with whom you share mutual care and nourishment. Leave
the rest, for there are those who would suck you dry without
concern. Choose life giving qualities, not drama kings and queens.
Awareness and awakenings are possible in this very interesting
month of know/not know.

Safety/Freedom - the opposition of the two little
pigs who want to play, versus the practical pig who wants everything
built with care and an eye to detail. You need to overcome the
part that is the taskmaster this month and side with the playful,
joyous, frivolous part of your nature that wants to express itself
without inhibition or restriction. You can create your own melody,
work of art, or inspire, enfire, and motivate those to whom you
are sent as Sales Force One. Regardless of how it looks, this
month you need to allow the stage lights to go up on your act
- and to perform without fear that the party poopers squelch
your joy. Claim it, and enjoy letting yourself be!

Freedom/structure. You have an overriding desire to get
on with it, keep the ball rolling, and let life take you wherever
it will. Yet, there are restrictions this month. Bills to be paid,
assessments to be made, checking the strength of the foundations
upon which you stand. As you are willing to look at what needs
attending, lots can be accomplished. When you avoid, you are tightening
the noose. Some things must be attended to, and the more you are
willing to shoulder responsibility and do what needs doing, the
better off you will be as the month comes to conclusion. There
is opportunity to transform an old habit or move into an entirely
upgraded condition - so don't hesitate to push beyond
your own limitations! |
|
6 |
Freedom/Responsibility. Although the year is mostly about
you caring for others and paying attention to health, relationships,
and responsibility, during August there is a drive for freedom.
Restlessness and a desire to break free from constraints may cause
you to make decisions you later regret. Take a trip, do things
that bring more expansiveness to your life, but don't make
major decisions based on this momentary feeling. It will pass
when the month is over. In the meantime, assess where you can
adjust limiting circumstances, enjoy interactions and contacts
with many, and excel in diversity. The month is a moveable feast,
so enjoy! |
|
7 |
Introspection/Caring for others. The year pushes you to
deeper inner awareness, and may present a few opportunities to
redo something from the past or connect with someone significant
for the future. This month, the focus is on family, responsibility,
the wants and needs of others in your life, and your own expectations
about how things "should" be. As you open your heart
and give of yourself without judgment, it can be a very rewarding
month. However, when you determine that everyone and everything
should match your idea of what they "should" be, there
can be fireworks. Health issues flare up to be reconciled through
looking at how you are eating and what is eating you. Develop
compassion for yourself and others - live and let live,
and take care of the body you inhabit. Life is meant to be enjoyed,
not belabored... so do what is necessary to make the experience
a pleasant one for all concerned. |

Take time to look at your spiritual roots this month.
In a year that requires balance and more harmony, August provides
opportunities to look more deeply within yourself to assess where
you are flowing with Spirit, and where you are blocked, or off
the mark. It's a wonderful time for retreat or specialized
areas of interest. Working in the garden, being with nature -
these are the things that restore the soul during this time. Too
much activity and too many people can be disruptive to your energy
field, so be selective and make sure you choose what you do with
an eye to quality and its function in enhancing your life.
|

Focus on where your life flows and where it is disrupted
- then do what is necessary to see yourself as a system
of energy that needs to be perfectly balanced. As you allow the
various facets of your nature to have a voice, you can find out
where the conflicts and disruptions are. When you give ALL of
yourself dignity of its perception, and engage it in updating
to provide what is needed now in your life - not what you
needed when you were younger - there can be significant
breakthroughs and growth that occurs. Harness the strength of
your mental potential at this time and watch as you slay the dragons
of unconsciousness!

WHAT ARE YOUR GIFTS IN THE YEAR 2006?
|
|
1 |
This year requires you to be self-reliant and decisive as to how you want to move forward. What have you learned from the past, and what needs to be released in order for you to move ahead? 2006
signals a new nine year cycle in your life, and the less baggage you have from the past, the more room there
is for enriching opportunities that propel you into leadership or entrepreneurial positions, or into
situations where you need to stand up and let your opinion be known. Pay attention to new ideas, strike ahead
in directions that involve adventure and willingness to risk - but as you do, listen to the still, small voice
within that seeks to direct you on a path that recognizes the importance of leading with wisdom, not out of
impulsiveness or brute force. Give others the dignity of their input, even though you must make the final
decision in the end. When you move forward, make sure it is an ethical manner and that you are remembering to
follow the Golden Rule that you do unto others as you would have them do unto you. |
|

You have planted seeds and now there is a powerful force that requires patience and perhaps even a
waiting game as this is a time of germination in one sense. Incubation, discernment, pregnancy -
everything connected to your sense of timing. Who supports you and who depletes you? Where are your choices
enhancing your life and where do you sabotage yourself? 2006 offers you opportunities to sort things out and
to bring the lens of inquiry into stronger focus - looking at the details of your life and the way you go
about it. Excellence is the requirement - don't try to gloss over steps, and remember that kindness to others
is not weakness, it is the mark of someone who has a large spirit and big heart. However, kindness does not
mean being a doormat. It's important to weed through what stifles. Open to higher realms of insight and you
can have brilliant flashes of inspiration. You can also feel a major disconnect with yourself or others from
time to time - so keep the inner light burning bright. That way if the outer lights are dim, your inner glow
will see you through to triumph! |
|

Patience was required last year, but now it's time to reach out and deliver your perspective,
your art work, your music, the ability to inspire, your laughter, your sales pitch, your childlike sense of
wonder - all things expressive and creative. If there are emotional issues that arise, don't let yourself be
overwhelmed by other people's stuff. Life wants you to be a star this year, and it's not about abandoning those
you love, it's about recognizing who is encouraging and who is critical, and leaving the critical ones alone for
a while. You can always walk back into the lion's den later! Beautify your life, your thoughts, your work, and
yourself. It's a wonderful opportunity to attract some very lovely things into your life - and also a bit of
magic. Take the best of what is offered and make something imaginative of the rest! |
|

Imagination and creative ideas may have flourished last year. Now it's time to make something tangible and real of
them. This year is about building foundations for the future and undoing foundations that are wobbly
or don't work. So there is an element of rebirth to the year, and your level of willingness to risk to the unknown
will determine just how far you will fly. It isn't about tearing things down capriciously or rebuilding without
purpose, it is about recognizing where the boxes you find yourself in are too small and limit your movement forward.
You can achieve a larger reality by moving beyond your fears and self-imposed barriers. Believe in yourself and
associate with those who encourage your growth. Many things are possible, and slow and steady is the best path to
achievement at this time. Rites of passage are also part of this time period, so you may experience births, deaths,
marriage or divorce during the year. Everything is pushing you to recognize that life is growth and movement. Standing
still is not an option. |

Last year required slow growth and establishing a stronger foundation. Now it's time to open your arms to
experiencing shifts and changes that can be invigorating and propel you into larger arenas or spurts of
activity. There is an unsettled quality to this time period. The more adventurous you are, the more pleasant it will
be. If you like things to remain static and safe, then the year may push you out of your comfort zone through events
that require adaptability. It's a grand opportunity to expand your horizons, meet new people, travel, explore ideas
and information, and feel like an adolescent - regardless of your age. On the other hand, you are advised to read fine
print on all contract agreements, make sure you think large purchases through before buying, and be discerning when
others try to sell you something. There may be less than honorable intentions on the part of someone, so make sure you
aren't a pawn in their game by being clear about your own motivation for what you do. That said, rev up your engine
and get ready to go. Enjoy the journey! |

Whereas last year had a hyperactive undertone,
this year pushes you to be more concerned about your image and
how other people perceive you. Values, family, health, responsibility,
standing in the community - all are part of this year's focus.
As you give of yourself with a loving heart, you receive a great
deal in return. When you feel resentment at having to do things
that are seemingly endless duties or obligations, your actions
will be met in kind. So... the key to 2006 is to find your way
to loving action. If something feels overwhelming or there are
those who take advantage of you, it's time to find replacements
for yourself. Let it be known what you are willing (and un-) to
do, and do it from a place of respect for yourself and others,
not defensiveness. Be honest with yourself so that martyrdom does
not enter. As you do those things that bring more light into your
life, health improves, relationships prosper, and you reap rewards
that can be enhancing and unanticipated. |
|
7 |
Prepare to take time for yourself. The cares
of others may have encroached last year, but now it's time for
you to retreat a bit and ask important questions like, "Who am
I," "Why am I here," and "What's the purpose
of my life?" It is a wonderful year for diving more deeply into
spiritual pursuits and specialized areas of interest where research
or time alone is involved. It's also a year in which you may deal
with situations or relationships from the past that were unresolved
and offer opportunity for completion or a new start. Events that
have nothing to do with the present can arise such as bizarre
situations, health concerns, sudden windfalls, or a relationship
that feels fated. This is a year of karmic payback either to you
or from you, and so it is very beneficial to look for the meaning
and purpose behind all happenings. This can be a deeply rewarding
time if you are willing to go within yourself to find the treasures
that are hidden there. The more you want to run in the world and
avoid knowing yourself, the more difficult the journey. Go within
and embrace who is waiting for you. It is nothing short of a soul
reunion! |

Last year required taking time to yourself and retreating a bit. Now the opportunity for more dynamic interchange
and effectiveness in the world is possible. Powerful people can come to your assistance, and you have the ability
to exude a powerful influence on others as well. Your dynamic qualities push you toward a goal or purpose, and after the
restrictions you may have felt last year, suddenly the river is flowing again full force. Instead of fighting against the
current, reach out and flow with it, encompassing everything you touch along the way. The tendency to overdo is mitigated
when you recognize the importance for balance and harmony. Music, hydrotherapy, massage, and relaxation techniques can all
help to bring you back to equilibrium. However, there is much to accomplish, and working within a system is helpful. Direct
the projects, but let others do their part without trying to micro-manage. Call on celestial influences for help, and you'll
be surprised by the quality of what you attract. Life is a movable feast, so reach out and participate! |

It's the end of a cycle that began nine years ago. Therefore, it's time to take a look at what you've been
through, what has been valuable, what needs to be released, and what attitudes no longer serve you. The focus
of the year is on completion, so there may be relationships or situations that come to a natural conclusion at this
time. Whatever occurs, the focus needs to be on the bigger picture. As you look to the meaning behind events and seek
the higher ground whenever issues arise, you are able to bring a larger perspective to others that inspires and uplifts.
If you fall into traps of self-pity or discouragement, the only redeemer is a connection to Source - so practice
gratitude on a daily basis, even if you can only be grateful for the air you breathe. As you demonstrate gratitude for
all that is, more good comes. When you feel resentful that things aren't the way you want them, everything stops. In the
9th year, we must focus on a larger plan unfolding - recognizing the perfection in all that is, even if it doesn't make
sense. When you are able to hold gratitude as the center to everything, this can be one of the spectacular years of your
life!
