We’ve done it! We made it to 2013. I’m always curious as to what predictions are made about a new year. So, I go looking for those “experts”, those people who read the stars, who channel wise ones from the beyond. I truly believe in all of this. I believe the stars give us an accurate story of what is to come, what energies we will be working with in the future. I also believe that some people are very accurate channels and that the information they provide is very useful. I take all of it into account when I prepare mentally and spiritually for the year ahead. I keep it in the back of my mind, to keep me on my toes and aware. I keep it in the back of my mind, not the forefront, because I don’t want it to influence me unduly as I go about

New Moon in Sagittarius is Thursday the 13th – right after the 12-12-12! Sagittarius is my favourite zodiac sign (I’m a Sag). It is a sign of expansion, of questing – looking for answers. Sag is represented by the Centaur – half man and half horse – holding a bow and arrow. Some say that Sagittarius shoot their arrows into the sky and never stop to see where they have landed. They are not noted for follow through – they are the ideas people. However, having four feet helps to keep them grounded. Sagittarius looks for the truth in all things. They are frank and honest – sometimes too much so. They are not known for their tact, but often will say exactly what you need to hear, even if it is not phrased delicately. This sign is linked strongly to religion and higher guidance, perfect as this is a

Libra is about peace and balance. It is also about relationships. Balanced relationships. Those relationships can be personal, work related, between groups, even between countries. But, it really needs to start with the individual. Being conscious in a relationship is important. If you are conscious, you do not take the other for granted, you appreciate them. What constitutes a balanced relationship according to Libra? It is one of sharing, of equality and of fairness. In such a relationship we would listen to and appreciate the point of view of the other. It would be a peaceful, harmonious relationship where we would negotiate things and agree upon solutions, not fight. No one is more important than the other. We let go of competition and become co-operative. In such a relationship we would support each other in our time of need. We would each bring our strengths to the relationship with acknowledgement

Pisces is a water sign and therefore aligned with the emotions. It deals with mystical and illusive states. Pisceans can be dreamers, comfortable in the realms of imagination and fantasy. Pisces invites us to be sensitive and aware of subtle energies. We are drawn to trust in a higher power or universal intelligence, and to receive guidance from our angels. As we learn to trust, it is easier to drop defeatist attitudes and any manner of being a victim. We know we are supported and guided. How do we do this? Take some quiet time – just sit. Find a welcoming tree or bench in nature and close your eyes and be. Allow whatever comes. Allow yourself to relax and connect to your innate self and to universal guidance. Allow YOU. Meditation is helpful. Find a guided meditation c.d. and play it. Or simply focus on your third eye point

Full Moon in Aquarius This Full Moon is in Aquarius, an air sign. Thus, we are working in the realm of the mental body. We are being impulsed, or directed, by this moon to be innovative, to use our imaginations and come up with new ways of doing things. Innovation, brilliant ideas, new trends and unconventional ways of doing things are ruled by Aquarius. So, change your perspective of a situation to find a highest and best good solution. This is a great time to follow your heart’s desire, but take it to a whole new level – take it to a worldview. Broaden your scope.
