On January 1st this year the moon was at the closest point it will come to the Earth for the whole of the coming year. It was also full, resulting in a very beautiful ‘supermoon’ that provided a wonderfully illuminating start to the New Year.
This full moon was in the watery and emotional sign of Cancer, so you may have found that its penetrating light also brought an internal focus to any emotional issues that have not yet been laid to rest.
Since the solstice on December 22nd, we have had a particularly strong flow of beautiful, uplifting and inspiring spiritual energies flowing onto the planet. These energies are stimulating change and transformation in a gentle but powerful manner that is best not resisted. Take time each day to connect in your heart, opening to receive this golden energy and allow it to assist you to transform from the inside out.
In general, January will be a good month to reflect upon what is right for you going forward and also to make any changes that might be needed to allow this to happen. It will also be important for us to look at how we can best support our wellbeing, physically, emotionally and spiritually, over the coming twelve months.
Start your year by appreciating yourself, feel what is going on for you, listen deeply to the intuition and wisdom of your heart and allow your life to reshape itself accordingly. Any action that you need to take will then follow as a natural consequence of this process.
The prevailing planetary influence for most of January comes to us from the constellation of Capricorn, represented by the glyph of the mountain goat in personality-based astrology and the unicorn in soul based astrology.
Over the next few weeks the Sun will magnify the inflowing energies from the constellation of Capricorn increasing their influence on every aspect of life on Earth. Within the focussed flow of this earthy, Capricornian energy we may find ourselves stimulated to overhaul the structure and foundation of our lives on all levels, personally and collectively.
Tenacity and ambition are both qualities inspired by Capricornian energies. These qualities can either be used to further selfish materialistic ambition or they can be channelled into a co-creative force that inspires new more expanded opportunities for all the human family. As always, the choice is ours and the energies will simply highlight and support the choices we make whether these are conscious or unconscious.
There is a lot of planetary activity in the Capricorn area of the sky this month and this will tend to bring an even greater focus to the opportunities available for positive transformation. Be prepared to be tested on whether your foundations in life are such that they will allow for expansion and growth. Anything that restricts this will need adjustment and could come under the spotlight this month. We could put this another way and say any beliefs that you hold that do not allow you to embody your true essence as a fifth dimensional being might be all too obvious to you this month.
It is very likely that we may see this energy noticeably affecting big corporations and governments over the next little while because many of these have structures that are very much based in old restrictive energy models.
Whether you look from an individual perspective or a corporate perspective, flexibility and willingness to adapt will be important qualities to have available to draw upon this month.
Start your year by appreciating yourself, feel what is going on for you, listen deeply to the intuition and wisdom of your heart and allow your life to reshape itself accordingly.
One of the most important foundations that we need to consider as we review ourselves this month is that of personal authority.
A good question to ask yourself might be; how much do I occupy the driving seat of my life? For many of us this is still somewhat of a work in progress and something that the energy flow this month could well bring into greater awareness.
One of the foundation stones in all our lives are the patterns that we inherit from our family of birth. If you find that you struggle to fully be the authority in your own life, family patterns are a good place to look for the source of any unconscious restriction to your personal power.
Family situations are chosen by design to offer maximum growth and expansion for everyone involved, although it does not feel like that when we find ourselves at the sharp end of difficult and challenging relationships. Very often the patterns we agreed to play out in our family group involved closing ourselves down and giving up our seniority in order to fit in. While this may have been necessary at the time it is now no longer valid, and it is very much time for us to take back our power and become the authority in our own life. Sometimes this might mean overturning some family taboos or standing up for ourselves in a way that feels initially uncomfortable.
Remember that this is not about ego power struggles, blame or judgement it is simply a choice to release any unconscious patterns that you might have that keep you acting out old, disempowering behaviour loops. Connect to the consciousness of your heart and allow your wisdom and intuition to guide you as you rearrange your foundations this month.
In this month’s Essence Suggestions, we are going to explore some combinations that work with the various aspects of reclaiming your personal authority.
A fundamental prerequisite here is the need for a strong sense of your own energetic boundaries and also the need to maintain them in a healthy, balanced fashion. With this in mind, our starting place this month is the Solar Plexus Chakra combination. This will support anyone needing help to strengthen their energetic boundaries, counteract feelings of over sensitivity or dissolve patterns created as a result of living in a disempowering environment.
Over sensitivity is a big issue for many people when it comes to reclaiming personal authority. Often these people have chosen to manage an uncomfortable situation by taking on the role of peace keepers and ‘fixers’ in a family because they find disharmony so disagreeable. Faced with the need to relinquish this old behaviour it can become glaring obvious just how much of a ‘one way’ energy street this has been and how much they have lost themselves in the process. Feelings of anger, resentment, vulnerability and exhaustion often accompany this recognition. In this situation Inner Peace; transforming anger, Self Responsibility; transforming resentment and Auric Protection; creating safe boundaries or Auric Protection Spray; safe boundaries would all be supportive combinations to help bring about greater balance.
For some people reclaiming their personal authority may entail disentangling themselves from a dysfunctional relationship or family grouping. In this situation the Letting Go; dissolving attachment combination might be just what you need to help you release and move on. Sadly, many are still needing to work with disempowering patterns generated by abusive relationships. In this situation the Healing Abuse; dissolving trauma combination would be particularly helpful.
For more general support with clearing old patterns related to family issues check out Healing Family; resolving family issues or Family to see which one would most help you.
Lastly, reclaiming your personal authority involves giving yourself permission to be yourself, just as you are. We can often be our own greatest critics in this regard, something that will hold us stuck as surely as any glue. If you are one of the many people who find it difficult to find room in your heart for yourself, one of the following combinations might be particularly supportive this month; Self-Acceptance; restoring unconditionality, Inner Freedom; transforming judgement, Unconditional Love or Inner Wisdom; connecting heart & mind.
