Tip of the Week:

As 2012 gains momentum and the Year of the Dragon fast approaches this offers a window of time to reflect. 2012 has gained a lot of attention the past several years. Of course, particular emphasis has been on Winter Solstice 2012. Many predictions ranging from the catastrophic to the fantastic have been presented by people around the world. That 12/21/2012 represents the symbolic beginning of a new Precessional Cycle is according to Classical Mayan Cosmology. That the Mayans today assert their oral records reach all the way back 26, 0000 years to the previous such alpha and omega point is interesting. Some have asserted that each new cycle accompanies major cataclysmic activity. Yet, whether this remains an actual periodic cycle suggestive of new episodes of cataclysm is the question running through people’s minds. Assuming that dire events will occur exactly on Winter Solstice verses that being a symbolic date seems, well… convenient. The Year of the Dragon itself only comes around every 12 years, with the last one being in 2000 and is said to bring in a new balance. 2012 should prove interesting, at least.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Everyone is feeling pressures demanding commitment and resolve, not least of all you. The need for new strategies is featured. Rebellious reactions certainly won’t help you now. Sometimes the best choice is to surrender to what is, and cooperate. Asking for assistance can be a good idea as well. Expect pressure levels to rise and remain high for a while.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

You are on the eve of some real breakthroughs which indicate expansiveness. Yet, there remain some important lessons before this can fully happen. Realizing the importance of teamwork and collaboration is the central theme here. Friends are much more helpful that enemies. Make extra efforts to exercise an open mind for best results.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

The aftermath of the holiday season combined with the onset of a New Year brings its own complexities. Patience has been an important theme of late and remains especially ideal now. Accessing new perspectives and tools to stimulate feeling secure is important. Focusing on your own talents will achieve this now, amidst more sobering and perhaps taxing duties.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Oaky so some major changes have occurred in your life. The question remains: do you feel like you have accessed your real power potential? This will prove important this year so concentrate on the question and especially the answers. Aim to activate your imagination towards intuitive reception and intellectual innovation. Survival instincts have their place and time, but not here and now.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

Establishing a more reliable rhythm in your daily routine is in the spotlight. Your willing determination to embark upon a learning curve may be driven by necessity at least as much as inspiration. Critical thinking and careful analysis of your strategy is extra important now. Nurture a vision and design approaches that allow you to pour your heart into your work, for a fair return!

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Thinking creatively for the sake of success implies diversity. You are in a foundation building phase which may well require key investments, time and energy. Accept this and work patiently with the process. It may take a little longer than you hope for the real returns to roll in yet if you persevere they will, eventually. Enjoy the creative process and trust.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

A good deal of activity on the home front continues. This stands to be of the more sober type. Knowing your priorities and having a clear sense of direction is ever ideal and may feel essential now. Expect this trend to continue. Be willing to give to situations, perhaps more than before yet differently. Your own health and welfare should be high on the list.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

A steady process of stripping away old layers continues. Yet, already you have cleared the way for some new strategies and creative possibilities. There is a rhyme and reason, a time and season, and this truth reminds us to be willing at least as much as wilful. As you do so and receive intuitive guidance, you can shift into your power drive again.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

You are in a sober mood and your attitude is dry. In certain respects you have had enough. Some things have and are working but some things are not. You are ready to experience new successes and these may well include a more satisfying home life; more beauty, comfort and joy. Direct your mind focus to weaving a new dream plan.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

You are in a pioneering mood. This includes growing desires to take some calculated risks. As is often true, avoid a single strategy. Rather, aim for variety. Your determination to assert your will and push through and beyond any blocks, whether within your own mind or without, is extra likely and ideal now.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

Taking some down time to retreat and rest before the year really gets rolling is the call now. A deep recharge of your batteries is implied. Yet, to truly rest you must avoid worry and to do that the key is to reside in your heart center, literally. Direct your mind this way, like an arrow aimed deliberately to hit the mark. This will bring peace, rest and confidence.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Who are your best friends and allies? It is good to ask such questions periodically. Being your own best friends is the best first answer. At its deepest reach this is a relationship with your spirit. In all respects, a deep intention to cooperate within and without places principles above personalities. This golden key to success will win the support of worldly power players and angels on high.
