N-Sights for 2012

CHANGE

BREAKTHROUGH

"For there's a change in the weather
There's a change in the sea
So from now on there'll be a change in me.
My walk will be different, my talk and my name.
Nothin' about me is goin' to be the same.
I'm going to change my way of livin',
if that ain't enough,
Then I'll change the way that I strut my stuff..."

In a nutshell, the lyrics from this old song can be instructive for us in 2012 as our Earth takes on the vibration of a Five Universal Year.

Going beyond these lyrics, what can I or anyone predict for the year ahead?

Very little, I believe, because...

Guess what?  Five is the number of unpredictability!

For any of you who think you've been stuck in a rut, be prepared for this phase of your life to end.

TURNING POINT

The number Five represents:

     Birth, fertility and the
       sexual principle

     Expansion

     Rejuvenation

     Action and energy

     Curiosity and investigation

     New ideas and inventions

     Love of freedom

     New and unusual ventures

     Risk-taking

     International activities

     Drama, excitement and
       adventure

     The unconventional and daring

BIRTH

Add to the above, these possibilities....

Addictions

Discontent

Temper and criticism

Radicalism and rebelliousness

Impatience and impulsiveness

Unusual and unpredictable events

Chaos and upheaval

Quite a mix there, wouldn't you say?

The only certainty for 2012 is CHANGE...

Will you be passive and wait for change to happen to you?

Or.. do you choose to take advantage of what can be an auspicious time to take action to manifest change in your life?  Five supports optimism and courage as well as timidity and fear.  Personally, I believe that if you are motivated to make changes that are authentic and from your heart, Five supports you in achieving your goals.  Even in the case of so-called "negative" events, we all know of countless times these have ended up being a catalyst and blessing in disguise for those who encounter them.

EMERGENCE

This year, especially, can be good for changing relation-

ships and residences as well as freeing yourself from ties

to the past and starting over.

You have all year to change, so don't think you have to do

it right now in one fell swoop.  The Five energy is at its

peak in September if you are planning ahead.

TRANSFORMATION

This January, the first month of our new year, is a Six

Universal Month.  It can be a good time to initiate changes that increase your well being.  These can include:

--Changing, improving, or leaving relationships, be they

family or romantic.

--Taking steps to improve your health.

--Changes in your home, such as remodeling or

redecorating.

--  Legal matters, especially regarding relationships.

OPPPORTUNITIES

Some critical steps involved in making your desired

changes include:

--Determining and defining what outcomes you desire.

--Defining the steps and strategy that can take you to

your desired outcomes.

--Uncovering what, if anything, is blocking you from taking action and/or having what you want.  (This can be your most critical challenge to master, especially if there are subconscious programs and belief systems in place that you are not aware of.)

--Finding methods to remove all the obstacles in your way, both external and internal.

However daunting your path may seem, remember, this year the wind is more likely to be at your back.  -- And don't forget to enjoy your journey.  It can end up being as much fun as your destination!

N-Sights for December 2011

ILLUMINATION

I recall a greeting card that said, “Go toward the light – and leave the darkness behind you.”  These words can serve as an appropriate theme for this month of December, a number Seven Month in a Universal Four Year.

Seven is a number which offers us “illumination” – insights into our selves, insights into others,  insights into other dimensions, other realms, and the Divine mysteries of life.

December is month that traditionally invites us to focus on holiday feasting, gifts and merriment.  Although these are all things that indeed can bring joy to our hearts, the Seven vibration of this year of 2011 suggests that at least part of the time we choose a more solitary path and instead focus inward and upward toward cosmic enlightenment. 

Celebrating “simple abundance”, to use the term of author Sarah Ban Breathnach, can bring us into synchronicity with the Seven and its own gifts of spiritual attunement. So this month I offer you simplicity even in this message which is intended to be brief and to the point.  By asking how you can keep the season blessed with the richness of simplicity, you can attract the gifts of peace and contentment that add new dimension to your memories of this special time of year.

Seven can represent that which is hidden – but it also represents “illumination” and comfort that comes from the non-material world.  The symbols of the season that are part of our holiday traditions also offer us symbols of illumination….

 

The star of Bethlehem is a Christian symbol of the birth of Christ and the illumination he was to bring to the world.

We have the lighted menorah, often used as a symbol for the Jewish celebration of Hanukkah, commemorating the “Miracle of Lights”. Some sources say that the menorah is a symbol of light that can reach even the darkest of places as well as a symbol of progression and renewal.

 

The Yule Log dates back to ancient times in the British Isles when the Druids lit the log at the Winter Solstice to celebrate, at the time daylight began to lengthen once again, a victory of light over darkness and the beginning of a new cycle of light, growth and life.

So during this month when we are easily caught up in the accelerated pace of the holidays, when our “to do” lists keep multiplying and we rush to stay on top of everything so that we can “enjoy” what we are supposed to be celebrating, it may serve you to set aside some moments for solitude.  Light a candle, dim the lights, stare at the flame and inwardly ask what message the light has for you.  Whether an answer arrives then – or down the road, you will have gifted yourself with the gift of peace and stillness and illumination in a literal sense. 

 

In closing, there is another light that may show up for the many who have been going through challenging times.  It’s called “the light at the end of the tunnel”.  The year 2012 is just ahead and it brings for all of us a time of birth and rebirth.  Stay tuned for more tidings at the end of this month.

Be light
Give light
Share the light

Whatever you do, may you have a light-filled month!

Give light, and the darkness will disappear of itself. ~ Desiderius Erasmus
