Fire!!!!

We haven't even begun yet!! And I am seeing Fires breaking out all over. :(

Energetically speaking that is.

I am also speaking to the Chinese Astrological New Year on Feb. 17th. Bringing in the year of the Fire Horse. And how we appear to be in the Energy of this, right now.

So let's break this down a bit. FIRE~ A FAST element, it can destroy and create within a Moon Cycle. It is hot, and it expands exponentially. It Transforms. Old, dead growth is transformed into new shoots of Beauty. It feeds us, and the Earth. It is essential to Life.

And the Horse. Running full steam ahead, wild and passionate. Yes, it can be tamed, with discipline and mindfulness, kindness and care. Horses move, they take action and they will go where you are looking. Very important to remember, the Horse will follow your Intent.

Now, this sounds awesome to me!!! LOL, as a woman born into a Fire Horse Year... which comes only every 60 years. (Yes, I am in my 60th Journey around the Sun) This year feels RIPE with opportunity! And... also, this year will be abundant with opportunities to be disciplined, to strategize & create that Action Plan. Abundant with reminders to tend Mindfully to my Health & Well Being.

This Wisdom is not just for me, it is for ALL of us. We will be influenced by this amazing, invigorating, passionate energy... maybe you will feel that deep yearning for FREEDOM.

And the Balancing Medicine will apply to you too. PAUSE~ Breathe~ Mindfully Plan your next step~ Take Action on your Intentions~ Reach for those Stars~ Just don't burn anyone along the way... Tend to your Well Being. Burnout is a REAL RISK this year.

Fire is GREAT Medicine for releasing, letting go of the old paradigms, the old beliefs, the old structures. We can do this in a Mindful Way, with Ritual and Spiritual Practice. This would be a smart move, as burning off the old in a scattered, thoughtless manner creates pain and can harm others. There is a Shadow side to this year, as there is with all years.

I think we have a fantastic example of this right before our very eyes. Not a Good use of Fire Horse Medicine. And the Passion of the People are firing up too.

Fire also fuels anger, conflict, war, struggle, in our passion we may insist that others agree, be like us, think like us. And in our Love for Freedom?? Many of us will passionately fight for ourselves, and others. So, how do we hold True to our Beliefs in Justice & Freedom??

This is my interpretation of all that I have read, and heard. It is also woven with the Spiritual Messages I have been receiving. I am hearing about Personal Strength, Personal Transformation & Personal Freedom. And it's not the vibration of selfishness, isolated individuality, apathy, or avoidance of conflict. It is the vibration of Wholeness....

When we Know our Strengths, we can practice and hone our Gifts. Bringing passion and life to our own lives, and to the lives of others.

When we Transform, our old Patterns, (yes, we can transform trauma patterns, we are not stuck, as some may believe) our Thoughts, our Emotions, our Bodies... when we do this Good Work?? We bring NEW LIFE to our own experiences, and we Inspire others.

When we take action, with strength, in the spirit of transformation... we CREATE Freedom. We feel it, we dream it, we imagine it, we think it... and we EMBODY it. And when we move our Bodies through the World as though we are Free?? We inspire others to do so too.

This is what I felt, sensed, heard, saw and it is what I know to be True.

I share all this with you... maybe this Medicine will resonate for you, maybe not.

This is simply an Offering.

From my Heart, and Home... to Yours.

I hope to see many of you this Fiery Horse Year!!!

May you Be Well

May All Beings Be Well
