NEW! Each month I’ll be taking a look at the current mid-month to the following mid-month’s energies. In much the same way as lunar cycles and planetary movements and transitions affect all of us astrologically, a Tarot reading can prepare us for the energies we’re all likely to be dealing with.

 

The general atmosphere of this entire period will be doing the things that work. Drawing from our past personal experiences, our formal training and education, and our skills and talents this will be the time to use the tried-and-true methods for success that we already possess. Since the new year typically has us looking for new ways to solve old issues (that’s why we make re-solutions, right?), it’s encouraging to know we can focus on and draw from past successes to be successful in the present and future.  And, we’re invited now to set aside the things that don’t work for us, which no longer serve us well, and no longer contribute to our success, even if they once achieved that purpose.

 

Week 1: 

Moving into the first week of this period, we will experience “happy accidents”, synchronicities and lucky breaks, even if they don’t seem to be so great at first. This is the kind of “bad news, good news” cycle that turns even setbacks and delays into pure gold.  Lucky for us too, since we’re in a Mercury retrograde (which began January 11) during this time.  The unexpected events which often manifest as problems and obstacles during a Mercury retrograde are quickly transformed into opportunities during this week, especially if we’re willing to go with the flow.

 

Week 2:

The second week of this period carries us into new territory – either literally by travel to other locales and geographical areas, or figuratively by the strong sensation that we’re moving forward again. As the Mercury retrograde ends (January 31-February 1) we should be finding more pieces of the puzzle, and more importantly – where those pieces fit into our bigger picture.

 

Week 3:  

The third week of this period is likely to feel uncomfortable for most of us, as more financial bad news is reported in the media. It’s a good idea to take it in stride, especially if we’ve done all we can reasonably do to be cautious and thrifty.  Not every fluctuation in the market or teetering corporate giant affects us personally and immediately, so it’s probably healthier and wiser to take the longer view of things this week.  If we haven’t been as cautious and thrifty as we could be, this is an excellent time to take stock through honest, detached evaluation and assessment of our individual finances.

 

Week 4: 

The final week of this period sees us enjoying a reward, recognition for our hard work, success and a sense of vindication if we’ve had to struggle through opposition or obstacles to bring a task to completion. Resolutions are showing results, especially if we’ve promised to make healthy changes like losing weight, exercising, or quitting smoking.  The great thing about a “win” is what it does for our self-confidence. If we did it once, then we can do it again. If we’ve succeeded in one aspect of our lives, we can extend that into other areas of our lives.
