One Year Reading

This reading offers insight into a dominant issue in your life.
With this issue addressed, other issues you may have tend to
fall into place.

So I start with the central issue and then move into the first
month. With each month of the year, I explore what you need to
know about the month and what you can do to make for the best
month possible. Then I look for an idea or inspiration that
will serve as a reminder for the year. I finish with the
outcome.

There is a natural progression of energy that moves you through
the year. A situation that may seem out of your reach now will
seem different when the time comes. You will be prepared for it
when it comes because of all the other energies you have moved
through already.


ISSUE:

Creativity, domestic security, fulfillment, contentment,
well-being. This whole energy is about personal expression and
well-being. It comes up when we need to feel heard or
appreciated, when we are giving new life to new projects (or
having babies) or when we are finding a niche for ourselves in
the world. It is about joy, abundance and happiness.


JANUARY:

You need to find a balance of give and take. The 'should' word
may enter your thoughts far too often. You may be carrying
someone else's burden. This is a month when your task is to
shake off the 'shoulds', hand back the responsibilities of
others back to them, and kick back for a bit. A vacation might
be in order. Finding this balance calms things down and opens
you to reconciliation of conflict or serenity after mental
stress.


FEBRUARY:

While last month you decided to hand the responsibilities of
others back to them, this month they will test you. Those who
are finding it hard to manage life without you carrying them
may well keep trying to have you carry their burden. They may
even try to suggest that you are not a kind person. Stealing
energy, coercion, feelings of defeat or conflict are all
energies that may show up in this. But you can handle it well,
with kindness and integrity. If you need to, you can accept
your losses and move on. You find strength among good friends
and support among those who care about you. In spite of the
testing, this is a strong time of creative energy for you - the
start of an important creative period. You are open to the
blessings all around you and your willingness to celebrate the
little things in life keeps you joyful. This is a month for
dancing in the rain.


MARCH:

You are reinventing yourself this month. The new you is
beginning to take shape. You are a blank canvas, waiting to see
what life paints through you. With this new chapter opening,
you are ready for adventure. Solitude may be indicated, but it
is a joyful time, when you can enjoy the fruits of your
labours. The promise here is a month of comfort, creativity and
well-being. The time is simply right for you to shine.


APRIL:

Something this month is not quite what you had thought. You may
need to re-evaluate something that you had been seeing through
the filter of your own desire. The realization that something
or someone is not what you had thought is not disheartening,
though - simply eye-opening. The realization gives you
perspective that eluded you before, and it closes a karmic
cycle. You can finally put this to bed.


MAY:

You're working too hard here and need to take some time to goof
off. You're trying too hard to make sure things work out they
way you feel they should and burning your energy in the
process. Relax. The promise here is that things will work out
fine in spite of your efforts. Re-evaluation gives you a choice
to move ahead in a new direction. You are more in tune with
your destiny and willing to take steps to align with it. This
energy is about movement and change and progress. It may
involve a physical move to a new home, a change of job or an
inner change. In any event, your choice reflects your desire to
be happy (rather than right).


JUNE:

The energy opens right up here in June. Playfulness, a sense of
fun and willingness to not care what others think of you, opens
the doors to deeper creativity. You take pleasure in the doing
and do not worry about the end result (which is the path of
true creativity). Trust your instincts here. You have many
resources available to you. You may have a partner or silent
partner who helps you move into new plans. Pause to see the
bigger picture, and trust yourself.


JULY:

This month marks a new beginning or new project, where you are
unconstrained by physical circumstances. You seem to have
freedom to move in some way, and you take joy from the physical
aspects of life. Money may appear from a new source. This is
also a time for good news in relationship issues. Co-operation,
friendliness, reconciliation and unconditional love are
energies present here. No demands. No expectation. Simple
acceptance that gives rise to feelings of equality and balance.
A happy month.


AUGUST:

Patience here is the keyword for August. This is not the type
of patience that has us waiting for a specific outcome, like
waiting in line at the bank. Instead it is more about surrender
- that state of grace we fall into when we allow life to have
its way with us. We forget sometimes that we are not living
life, instead, life is living us. Don't invite negative
thinking here if you feel your plans have failed. Instead
realize that your angels have something better in mind.
Generosity, charity and fairness keep you balanced. As you find
a balance of give and take, you see that you have nothing to
gain, and nothing to lose.


SEPTEMBER:

This energy follows well after last month. Your steady work,
perhaps even learning new skills, brings rewards for your
efforts and leads you into a time of growth and productivity.
Be prudent, and not too rash if possible. As you proceed you
find you move back into that lovely energy of doing things for
their own sake, for their beauty, for their art - and not for
any potential rewards or potential outcome. Have confidence in
yourself and your abilities. You have untapped resources you
can use. You are the energy to begin.


OCTOBER:

Travel or movement is the primary energy this month.  There may
be an end to delays and a new upsurge of energy. Take care
during October not to stem this energy with conflict. There
seems to be a conflict or drama brewing right near to you. It
doesn't directly involve you but others are going to try to
drag you into it. You may even feel you want to wade in anyhow
since it's a juicy conflict and you may have a strong opinion
about matters. Try to restrain yourself. Give the others the
room to find their own wisdom in this, and keep all that lovely
energy for whatever projects you have in the works.


NOVEMBER:

Things are not going according to your plans. The people,
events and circumstances around you seem to be conspiring
against your best efforts. The more you try, the worse it gets.
Notice this happening as early as you can in the month so you
can get it before you get too frustrated. You need to remember
that when things are not going according to plan, it's not
because the plan was not a good one, but because your angels
have something even better in mind, and your plan is preventing
them from putting it into place. Your very frustration can be
the reminder you need to drop the plan and be willing to let
life show you what it wants of you next. If mistakes happen,
let that be all right. When things seem to be spinning out of
control, instead of tightening your grip, loosen your grip.
Everyone will feel better for it - especially you.


DECEMBER:

Fresh starts, forming alliances and getting to work are the key
energies of this month. You have a greater opening now to
listen to your inner guide, and you feel as though you are
headed in a better direction. Be receptive to life this month.
Let unboundedness and gratitude for whatever life brings be the
way you live. Sensitivity, intuition and open-ended curiosity
lead you to a depth of experience and richness of joy. Empathy,
imagination, sincerity and an open heart dissolve the obstacles
that have kept you apart from others.


REMINDER:

Your value lies not in what you accomplish but in who you are.
Since our culture is one of demands and criticism, we often
forget that we are divine creatures living life in an exuberant
and joyful way. A tree does not doubt its magnificence. Nor
does a small child wonder at its value. You are connecting this
year with a depth of grace that has eluded you. Remember that
you are equal to the brightest sun.


OUTCOME:

Surrender. Willingness to let life drive. Grace. When there
seems to be no solution that we can figure out for ourselves,
acceptance of what life has given, (unreserved acceptance)
opens us to a deep connection with the mystery of life, to the
joy of our being, and to even deeper levels of trust in our own
nature. You will feel more comfortable with uncertainty and
more able to feel and express the joy of your being.

    Getting The Most From Your Reading


While some readings are straightforward 'yes' or 'no' readings,
others offer deeper insight. 

Here's a couple of ideas for getting the most out of your reading:

    1. Read it over or listen to the recording when you have a
    quiet moment. The first time, you might just be looking for
    certain information. A second time gets you past that to
    hear what is actually being said.

    2. Tuck it away and look it over again in a few weeks time.
    It may reveal more of itself. 

    3. Do as I do - jot down the important points on a scrap of
    paper and put the paper up on a bulletin board. Then when
    frustrated weeks or months down the road, look up that slip
    of paper for reassurance and insight.

     4. Enjoy it ! Your reading is designed to help you to move
     into harmony with what is happening in your life. 
     
     May this reading bring a future of happiness and prosperity.
