Breakthrough

All Signs

The end of 2014 and the beginning of 2015 will bring us a little more clarity in terms of how we see ourselves unfolding and how we are creating the paths that we are on.

Many of us have felt like we are standing with one foot on the threshold, not quite certain if we are ready to take the leap that is required of us for our lives to move forward. The reason for this is that the little voice that we all have in our heads has been inconsistent, first telling us to move in one direction, then swiftly changing its mind and telling us to reverse our course and move along a diametric path. We haven’t known whether we’re coming or going, we don’t know what is right and what is wrong. In fact, many of us have been asking for a sign, begging the universe to intervene and tell us which way to go. Life feels like we’re treading quick sand and at any moment we will be swallowed up never having accomplished our dreams.

That is all about to change. Inner clarity will begin to pour through us and it will feel like the cobwebs are being wiped from our eyes. Expect to have more energy, to be able to make decisions and not regret those decisions, and to lose your self-doubt. Expect to stop comparing yourself to others and their accomplishments, and instead see your uniqueness as beautiful, vital, and the only answer to solving your personal dilemmas.

2015 is about meeting those who are kindred heart, who are beloved/family, and who are meant to co-create with us. It’s about building foundations and creating a long-lasting and future-aware goals that take into consideration the many ups and downs that inevitably occur in everyday life. This means that we will become more adept at creating balance in our lives, instead of taxing ourselves to the point of exhaustion and forgetting to make time for the things that matter most, like family and time for genuine curiosity, exploration, and creation that is not bound to guidelines and rules.

Look for full forecasts for each sign in the coming weeks. I hope to have them all posted by mid January.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Over the next couple of weeks you will find new ways to invent and experience joyful play. In fact you will feel launched into this mode. You are getting tired of feeling down and out and like no one understands you or the world is against you, and you are ready for joy and to see the magic in life, or the silver lining on all of the bad that has happened to you. You are also ready to begin really believing in your dreams, to no longer doubt them or to think that they are inferior to what other people dream. Have fun with this. Use your imagination. Don’t let yourself get trapped in scenarios that suck the life out of your ability to generate joy. Don’t believe for a second that you don’t deserve joy or that you should not be able to have fun once in a while.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

Your future self is approaching you, reaching through the veil of time and tapping you on the shoulder. Want to know what it’s telling you? To find the answer, look deep within your heart. You are coming to an understanding about what true love means to you. True, unconditional love that stems from your soul and is more than just the emotions and chemical reactions of your body, more than just the thoughts and reasonings of your mind. This love is about knowing others throughout lifetimes and coming to accept them for who they really are in this now. Your future self wants you to rest assured in the knowledge that allowing yourself to open up to this kind of unconditional love will not be detrimental. There will always be hard times. There will always be those who hurt you. But we all have to learn to love ourselves, and though this might sound cliché, it’s exactly what you’re going through right now. Loving yourself means you will be able to love others with more truth and clarity, with more openness and trust. So let your brain come into alignment with your heart and with the information your future self is trying to relay to you. I promise, it’s good stuff.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

It’s time to stop postponing your future. It’s time to let go of the petty politics you use to keep a stranglehold on other people or situations when you’re afraid of letting go. Whether you’re willing to do this work or not, life is going to put you in situations where you are forced to do so. Once you give permission, let go, and release your grip, you will notice that your will or intent is given space to shine all the brighter and that reward/return is able to come your way. By this I mean that you will feel freed up to do what you really want, instead of hiding behind what you think you should do, and that doing so will open doorways to new possibilities you didn’t know existed, and to the kind of return that you have been looking for.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

As you ring in the new year, make a promise to yourself. Say, “I’m will no longer be duped by my own illusions. I’m going to seek until I penetrate the heart of any issue or choice I am faced with and learn to listen to my intent.” You are tired of picking a path that doesn’t end up working out in the end, or once you have started on it you realize that you have bitten off more than you can chew. In deciding to exercise more discernment, you will be walking a tightrope because you will be simultaneously having to learn to act from the knower within you—the disciplined sage whose fiery energy is here to save the world—and at the same time follow and trust the bigger intent of your soul, the path that you are not able to see from above but have to muddle through from down here on the ground, surrounded by trees. Developing this skill in your personal psychology will help you with learning to be more discerning when dealing with the world. Your gullibility comes from your desire to see the beauty in everybody and everything, but when you finally take off the rose coloured glasses and their true colours are revealed, you feel tricked. Remember that you are in charge and that listening to and trusting your gut is the biggest lesson in your life at this time, and will in time be your biggest personality asset.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Get ready to launch into some new possibilities. The world would like to bring you the people you need to meet in order to open up your ability to set your passion free. You have something to say; you want to speak to the problems you see out there in the world and you want to be a force of change. Don’t get too lofty in your ideas (or your ideals) otherwise you will sabotage yourself before you even get started; think local, not global. You can do this from the ground up, and in fact if you own this as your truth, if you know you are doing what you do simply because you know it needs to be done, then you will be able to do much good in your community, in your social group, and in fact your region, your country, and the world at large. Start small and work outward, but don’t silence that strident voice within you. Own what you know and what you have to say.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

You are doing some powerful self-work right now, dear Virgo. You are learning how to let go of the sorrow and the pain you carry over all the things that have not gone right in your life. Instead of holding on to this pain, you are learning to be open and receptive to the adventure that is life. This is not as easy as it sounds, to which I know you can attest. It’s hard to let go of emotions and memories that have been around so long they feel like they define us. But you are ready to move on. You want to embrace the New Year with a new attitude and ride the wave that is your daily existence, instead of feeling like you are drowning in it. Be prepared to be flooded with new vision. Now is the time to set goals and priorities and to begin a new chapter. Embrace the magic that awaits you with this change of course and this new beginning. And celebrate the fact that you are shedding old sorrow that is no longer relevant to who you have become.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

The next couple of weeks are going to be a bit hard for you. Your perception has been taken back down to a very narrow view. You feel like you can only see things in bits and pieces, like you are examining the minutia of human existence. This perception makes you feel like you are an outsider, like no one could possibly understand what you are seeing and understanding through this state of mind and being. But this is not an inherently bad thing. In fact this perception is here to pass along much knowledge. Creativity is your best resource to decoding these inner messages. Through tapping into the divine energy that fuels the creative in all of us you can find ways to craft what you are seeing so that others can see it and come to understand it. And though the next few weeks will be hard (simply because of this outsider feeling and the narrow tunnel vision that can feel claustrophobic), if you pay focussed attention to the images, knowings, ponderings, and emotions that are moving through you at this time and make a concerted effort to artistically express them, you will inevitably reach a breakthrough that clears the fog.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

As usual, you’re complicated. You’ve got a lot going on. But the main theme for you right now is a need to bring into balance all of the different parts of your personality and learn to have them work in harmony. In order for you to accomplish the dreams you have right in this now of your life, doing so is extremely important. The universe is trying to bring you return for all your hard work, but because you are not connecting the dots between your separate personalities/selves, this return is not able to reach you. In order to rectify this problem, your soul has a bit of shock treatment on the way in the form of reflection. This reflection will force you to see what you are putting out there into the world—what others experience from you—and it will trigger you into seeing all of yourself. So be prepared for some potentially wild behaviour being thrown your way. Be prepared to embrace it, love it, and see it as yourself. Be the shaman that you are and meet this head on. The shift that wants to take place will be felt immediately and will have a ripple effect out into your life.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

If fear is flooding your body for no apparent reason, know that it is because change is on the horizon, but your brain hasn’t acknowledged it yet. Your fear is highly irrational, it springs up because bringing about change means facing the unknown, but it also means ridding yourself of the oppression and setback you’ve been experiencing in one form or another. Below this cap of suppression and setback is a well of silence that is the source of your own knowing, if you take the time to listen. For the last while you have had to deal with someone or something telling you that you can’t do what you want, that your vision of the future is not valuable. Whatever this force is in your life, it has caused your dream, or the version of it that you currently want to set into motion, to experience setback. Things aren’t going the way you want them to, the way you had planned. But that is about to change, and no matter how wonderful that prospect is, setting oneself free of chains can be a scary experience because suddenly we are forced to think for ourselves and test the knowing that we carry within us. Listen to the silence and draw upon it for energy and strength.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Your vision of the future is playing across your mind’s eye like the projection of a movie across a large screen. You are coming to realize things about yourself that will make it easier for you to move forward with more compassion and understanding for your own being and how you operate in this world. You are starting to see that you need to slow things down, that you can’t do everything all at once; accomplishing anything that matters takes time. This is a major hurdle for you because you tend to want things to happen immediately. You can see the big picture and you just don’t understand why others can’t see it as well. You easily grow impatient with ignorance and with the slow pace with which others  have to adapt to new circumstances. Yet, you are seeing that this is also your condition, in so far as your physicality is concerned. You are learning that you can no longer push your body to match the frequency of your imagination or in your understanding of the world. You are also seeing that you need to put a bit of a protective barrier around yourself to minimize the risk of being hurt by those who cannot understand the visions that you carry. Claim those visions for your own and allow yourself to have the time to manifest them out into the world at a pace that is easy on your body and that does not invite judgement and attack upon your person.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Over the next few weeks you are going to have to invent new ways in which to accomplish your goals. The old ways are not working and you’re starting to feel like your a mouse stuck on a treadmill. Everything feels stale and there is an intense sensation that you are being pushed from the inside to transform things. Make sure that you tune inward to figure out the direction that this push is to go in, the theme behind the actions you are to take. Don’t fall victim to the tendency to express this behaviour in self-destructive ways. Merely breaking free from your old routine so that you don’t have to think about it for a while is not the solution. If you want real change, if you want to ride the wave of inspiration and reward that is trying to come your way, you have to make a concerted effort to imagine what this change looks like and what it means for your life and your long term goals. Keep in the forefront of your mind your ability to think in innovative ways and the fact that you have the ability to better not only your life but the lives of others.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

The next couple of weeks are about seeking balance. You are looking for the place inside of you that knows the actions to take that will not swing your emotions on a pendulum of drama. Slow things down. Be deliberate. Do what you feel in your core and be cautious of advice from others. Be creative. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box when looking at the problems you have to solve. At the core of the chaos, there is a strength that you are aware of but not quite ready to own. You’ll get there. Trust in that. You will not leave yourself behind. The visions you have of your future are not off course, they are not superfluous, and they are not crazy. You just have to learn how to have the strength to keep going for them even when times get tough. You have to decide what you want and actually set the goal without waiting for someone else’s permission. Use your powers of insight and foresight, tap into the well of Source that you feel within you, and do some creative daydreaming. Follow what makes you feel whole, safe, and inspired.
