| Dear Friend
If 2016 was the year of breakdown and purging, then 2017 is our year to rebuild, create, initiate and restructure.
Incidentally, card number 16 in the major Arcana of the Tarot, is The Tower. The image portrays a tower being struck by lightening, crumbling under intense forces of destruction. The energies symbolised by this card (in a nutshell) are those of upheaval, sudden change, release, downfall, shake ups, disrupted plans, release and also revelation. The year we have just exited certainly gave us opportunity to experience all of this and more.
If 2016 was the year of challenge and upheaval, then 2017 brings the promise of renewal. In addition to the fact that it is a year of 'new beginnings' symbolised by the 1, if we look at the card that follows the Tower, it is number 17, The Star. The Star embodies the energies of hope, serenity, calm, inspiration, regaining motivation and inner strength, seeing the Light at the end of the Tunnel. The Star reminds us that this is the time to take our understanding to new heights, to anticipate success and achieve a new level of harmony - so perfectly aligned with the essence of this year.
This doesn't mean to say that it will be plain sailing, as the energies on our planet continue to intensify - it is how we deal with and approach our lives that is undergoing a renewal. Many of you may still be feeling the effects of an energy surge that we experienced in December. This was actually detected by scientific equipment as an influx of microwaves from an 'unknown source' & we are still integrating this. Interestingly, this wave was detected just as we entered the 52 day transformational cycle initiated on Dec. 20th, and immediately prior to the solstice. Many spiritual sources were talking about this influx of light through the solstice portal...it happened! The next month or so will continue to perhaps yield some challenges as we continue the 'purging' prior to fully entering into the potential of this year.
Astrologically, we have many influences reinforcing this, including a powerful full moon on the 12th Jan.. A personal friend of mine who is an astrologer offered this insight into the immediate energies & to quote her, 'This Year, Anything is Possible"!
"At the Cardinal Full Moon at 22 degrees of Cancer, on 12
January 2017, that which is being exposed is the need to take action, to be
decisive in a clear, purposeful way.
The transiting opposition of Uranus, (20 degrees of
Aries) and Jupiter, (22 degrees of Libra), which is T-squared by the
transiting conjunction of Pluto, (17 degrees of Capricorn) and the Sun, (22
degree of Capricorn) forms the demanding Cardinal Grand Cross that pulls in the
Full Moon.
These energies are urging, encouraging, demanding of us
to seek and to see wider horizons, bigger visions and better opportunities. As
we seek beyond our usual, we are urged to shed stale, old behaviour patterns
and emotional responses that have for a while now, neither been serving us, nor
bringing the best out in us. It is for us to take the initiative and let go of
worn out patterns of behaviour, emotional responses and make-do relationships.
The Uranus energy serves to awaken, to expose a different
way, a new way, especially if you have planets between 19 and 23 degrees of the
Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) in your natal chart.
Uranus awakens us to experiencing aspects of ourselves
differently; Jupiter expands our consciousness; Pluto is demanding of endings
and transformation.
Additionally, from 8 January till 6 February, all the
planets are moving direct, (forward), providing the opportunity to many to move
forward with any plans and/or projects"
