Month: January 2011

You must close one door before you can open another. Nothing comes across more clearly than this. Letting go of situations that have outlived their usefulness will allow you to move forward into the future. We often forget how hard it is to leave some attachments behind as there always seems to be a reason to hold on. It is fear of the unknown and as long as you are a human being, fear of the unknown will always be with you.

Forge ahead with projects that have been on the back burner. There is no time like the present to put these ideas out there and start to build on their reality. You have been in a holding pattern for some time and now you must break free and spring into action. You may feel some anxiety about it but you have to overcome it. A whole new dimension of life is ahead, you just have to kick it off.

You still don’t have a view of the whole picture but continue to follow your instincts. You will come to know the truth if you pursue it. However, the truth always changes. Know one really ever knows the truth but people will always seek it. Practically speaking, keep your attention on the day to day activities of life and eventually you will arrive to your desired goals.

Hopefully there won’t be any weeks ahead that will be as difficult as last week. It was impossible on every level. Luckily, it is now in the past. This week starts out on a more civilized note. People around you won’t seem like they are going to eat you for dinner, in fact, they may seem more like they would like to invite you to dinner. There is no accounting for these extreme swings of attitude.

Jupiter in just entering the sign of Aries and this will be great for making decisions. Previously there has been a lack of commitment, but now it is time to make a choice. No more wavering. The trend will pick up even more steam when Uranus enters Aries and that will be in mid-March.

The Sun just entered the sign of Aquarius which is a more sociable sign and much less critical than the sign of Capricorn. This alone will dissolve a great deal of tension that you have been feeling. Also, Saturn will go retrograde and this will provide you with some time to review any future plans. Saturn will remain retrograde until the middle of June so this will present an extended cooling down period.

Work on yourself so that you can relax without the use of alcohol or tobacco. These actually ultimately leave you more anxious. Get more exercise and liberate your thinking. Relax your expectations and try to work on short term goals that give you some satisfaction.

These conditions can’t last. You may feel like you are on a wheel going around and around without really getting anywhere. We seem to be experiencing a holding pattern of some kind. This is sometimes necessary before your final approach. With 3 planets in Capricorn, you will find it easy to be patient. You may however, feel concerned about what is going to happen next. Anxiety comes from too much foresight, so don’t look too far ahead.

The Moon is in Gemini which sends your thoughts racing. You react quickly to situations and spend a great deal of energy on theorizing about what to do next. It is important to end the “idea” portion of your planning and get into the “doing” part. You have to put your ideas into action. Thinking is now a luxury you can’t afford.

Your emotions are driven by a desire to complete your aspirations. You want to see the results of your hard work. There is plenty of evidence of your work, but it has yet to culminate. Your desired goal has not completely manifested. Keep working your plan until you achieve the desired results.

Catch up on some needed rest. You have been expending a great deal of energy and you may need to compensate by eating good food and taking it easy. You don’t have to drive yourself so hard all the time. Be your own friend.

Try to get to the bottom of your anxieties and what triggers them. You may feel a little jumpy these days and a seemingly unimportant event puts you into an anxious and tense mood. This is normal on occasion but if you find yourself slipping into this frame of mind often, you need to really look into yourself. Once you identify what it is that causes this, you will be able to get a hold of yourself.

We human beings are very vulnerable and most of the time we travel through life without a thought. Once in a while, events occur that cause us to see that we are just grains of sand. We are not very big or powerful in the scope of things. We want to feel safe and secure in the world but it takes some faith and belief in higher influences. We want to have control over our destiny and although there may not be a lot we can do, we can do something. Character is destiny.

People are what they are brought up to be. But it is also, “nature and nurture”. We can help ourselves and we can help others. We can set a good example. We all have our own ideas of how the world should be. There is no single answer. Your path in life is different than others and therefore you must answer to your own concept of higher influences. You must follow your own ethics.

We don’t always know if we are going down the right road, we have our instincts and they are not always right. We have to have the courage to follow them since they are all that we have.

You feel the stirring of new ideas and the enthusiasm that accompanies them. This is a great way to start out the New Year. Create something in your life that you can look forward to, even if it is not immediately attainable. Naturally, these things come at first as a concept but then you must put them into action. You may have to do it in stages, as you must be well prepared. In other words, don’t bite off more than you can chew but, little by little, build your dream.

Tell everyone about what you would like to accomplish and you will find plenty of people who will help you achieve it. Everyone likes to feel like a part of this new adventure and people like to contribute ideas, time, support, etc. It may take you months or years to get this going but it can be done. You have to believe in yourself.

There are still minor details that require your attention and for a short time may detract from your primary goal. Don’t be impatient and take care of these nagging details with care. Once you have gotten these out of the way, it is “full steam ahead”.

You will begin to feel much more freedom as you make your way toward your goal. This may mean self employment or just becoming yourself while working at your job. You will not be as emotionally tied to coworkers or establishments that drain away your energy. You will break away from whatever trap you have found yourself in.
