January of 2015

Five years ago I wrote an article on the turning of the new decade, 2010.  Now we are halfway through that decade and, as true to my Libra nature, I continue to see the world striving for balance.

Yes, the good old cliche' of the good and the bad, the yin and the yang, the dark and the light, continually see-sawing on the cosmic scales of life and death. Now five years is not much on the blip of eternal time, Doesn't really even register. So how do we look at the accomplishments and failures of our actions through these years?  Yes it looks like we are going to hell in a handbasket and yet we are going to the stars and beyond- ah, the contradictions of life are so juicy!

I hope through the trials and transformations of these last years you have seen the beauty and abundance of the life you are leading. Given thanks for family and friends, here and across the veil.
Brought forth joy in your work and love in your heart for all life. We are steadily evolving into greater awareness of our potential and how we must exert all our strengths in the preservation and sustaining of our natural resources for all of Earth's creatures. Great strides have been made, and, again, still so far to go.  What will we create in the coming five years?  Which side of the scale are we leaning towards?   Will we be remembered for our wisdom or our follies?  It is up to each one of us to reach out and embrace our responsibility for the survival of future generations.

We have received such amazing gifts by being blessed to just be alive.  Enjoy the sun on your face and the wind at your back. The curve of the mountain and thunder of the sea echo through your bones as the realization of  the oneness of all life, earthly and cosmic, can raise our spirits to the highest degree of compassion and mercy.

The cold crisp days of the heart of winter bring forth that desire to be resolute in our intentions to move forward with the return of the light and reach those warm and fruitful days of spring ahead.
Blessed water falls, frozen or not, upon the land and as the snow white mantle lays gently across the landscape take the time to renew yourself in all the small ways. Balance your energies with a warm bath, massage, stretch, read poetry, write in your journal, snuggle, dream, Refresh and reclaim your essence as Mercury, the planet representing our thinking and communication skills, goes retrograde in the coming weeks. In other words, a good time to do all those "re" words, remember, resonate, redo, relax.

A healthy and abundant year ahead for your visions to be realized and your aspirations to manifest!
