February Forecast 2012

February's energies have us drifting in and out of the known and the unknown, kind of like standing in a dense fog that suddenly clears, then
rolls back in again obscuring the view, leaving us in a somewhat dazed,
but not altogether unpleasant, altered state. Nothing will stay clear or feel
solid for long before it mists over into a blur. Our ability to make sense
of things will feel like it isn’t working the way it used to. Thoughts of the
past, present and future won’t settle, or fall into familiar recognizable
patterns. What's being set up spiritually is consciousness raising at every
level, through confusing yet liberating experiences where old patterns, old
habits and attitudes dissolve before our eyes for good - in ourselves and
in other people.

As the foundations of our personal and collective realities begin to seriously shift and reshape themselves, we are finally being freed to move out into new and unimagined directions. Yet the pathways are anything but clear
and steady. The important thing to remember is to keep things moving forward in spite of confusion and a lack of grounding. Whatever you are doing, do it differently. Sometimes you won't have a choice. We are all stepping into a quickly morphing energy where present realities are meet-
ing future possibilities in a confusing, unstable yet exhilarating dance. Collectively we are beginning to shape realities in which our higher selves
are consciously participating in how future events unfold. Put another way, we are on the threshold of actually seeing older souled values being imple-
mented throughout more and more threads of our social and cultural fabric.

This is very good news for many of us who have been working in earnest
to confront, heal and integrate the aspects of our egos and false person-
alities that hold us back from aligning with spirit. Seen for what these energies really are offering us, shedding old skin will be a liberating relief. But for some, this month's energy may produce a series of internal crisises,
as old patterns and shadow content within our personalities collide with
new, expanded possibilities and visions for the future. The ego is getting
totally immersed this month in an intense play of illusion, revelation and transformation, kind of a crash course for false personality, making every
day feel like you're learning a major life lesson.

On a cautionary note: because boundaries are so blurred and communication so foggy, you will want to be especially mindful with your speech. Everyone you know, including your-
self is hyper-sensitive right now to anything that even sniffs
of criticism or censure. Be especially encouraging and con-
structive in the feedback you give to others. This includes
what you say to yourself. You will also want to make sure
you are getting enough rest, as exhaustion is very prevalent right now.

If you or anyone that you know get lost in the mists and end up stuck in a
murky swamp, don't panic: the shining sun of spirit and our essence will always illuminate or trump the fog of illusion, no matter how dense. You
will have more success getting back on track by relaxing control, not over thinking, worrying, judging or analyzing a situation. This will only make matters worse. Listen for promptings from spirit and messages from your intuition no matter how weird they sound. The best approach is to stick to those things you absolutely know are true and do those things you absol-
utely know must get done. You are encouraged this month to experiment with these liberating energies, have fun with them and get a little creative with what’s left over once the basics have been covered. Picture walking
into a house of mirrors where the distortions you see of yourself are some-
times funny, scary, repulsive yet highly entertaining. Now you get the idea.

Many Blessings for a great month!
