Creative Numerology

You may have firm material aims, but they will never be realized unless the specific feeling of personal satisfaction is your ultimate goal. A dream is often cut short when the reality of what must be done to achieve it sinks in. This month, you will learn the difference between the mere pursuit of happiness and actually living how you want to live. You will also learn the difference between avoiding reality and of basing every decision on the unfolding realities around you. Get specific. What is it going to take to make you satisfied with who you are, and to appreciate what you have?

You must believe in yourself and take your abilities far more seriously. If certain people do not seem to be coming through for you, remember that this year of forward movement requires you to stand alone and face your own reality. You can only rely on you for the results you want. It is also likely that the people you are depending on are actually depending on you to take the bull by the horns and assert yourself. Remember that the evolutionary purpose of the 1 year cycle is to teach you about independence.

February highlights the powers of self expression and communication: what you choose to express, and what you choose to keep under wraps. It urges you to listen: to really hear what is being said – or notice where nothing is being said in an area where open dialog would be helpful. Discretion and diplomacy will work well for you now.

Do what feels right for you, moment by moment. Recognize and appreciate the small joys in your life. Notice those areas in which happiness already exists and make a point of truly appreciating them. If you cannot see them, it is probably because they are hidden by areas of unhappiness or turmoil which must not be ignored. Those are the issues and circumstances that must be worked through and changed as the year proceeds. Keep in mind that some of those situations are caused by your own oversensitivity and a tendency to take things too personally, which is actually your frustration (anger) for not knowing precisely where you are or where you’re going. Be patient with your progress because this particular journey has only just begun, and, as it unfolds, there will be many new sources of fulfillment to discover and experience.

Inner beauty is vital, but do not neglect the physical. However, if you base your outer appearance on what others think is acceptable, you are not learning this valuable lesson of individuality. On the other hand, some other aspect of appearance and presentation may be involved here, particularly in work related matters.

A chance to progress may arise through friends, social activities and connecting to others, personally and professionally. Be open minded. The world is changing fast. New ideas are needed. They will flow far more freely in a sociable and friendly atmosphere that is accepting of those who are “different”.

Someone else’s circumstances can effect you dramatically, and you may need to reassess the effect others can have on you, and your loved ones. Find a way to exercise compassion while, at the same time, take care of your own needs. February provides an opportunity to discover what makes you happy – and what does not – and to feel how good it is to be alive.

February’s themes of limitation and effort will make you aware of the restrictions that previous choices have created, and the hard work it will take to make the necessary long-term changes. If a misunderstanding or clash of interests distracts you from a goal, or creates uncertainty about who you are and where your life is going, it is time to sort out this situation. But remember that it’s not all about you. The feelings of all concerned are likely to be running very deep.

Aggression will not help. Avoidance will make matters worse. Remember that peace is the main objective of the 2 vibration. Try to use tact, humility and encouragement toward someone who must not only deal with his or her own uncertainties and insecurities, but also with yours. We are all fellow travelers on this precarious road of life, and, this month in particular, much can be achieved through basic decency and respect for each other.

You have arrived at a crossroads and decisions must be made. You can either commit to taking an ambitious but patient route, or you can just give up. But do ask yourself why you cannot handle (balance) two or more situations simultaneously. There is so much more to you than only your relationships, or only your work, or only any one aspect of your existence. Perhaps, if you were better organized, or less inclined to take things so personally, you would have more time and space in which to work, rest, and even play.

The wellbeing of others must be considered, but you will be unable to take care of their needs if yours are unmet. Yes, others are expecting a lot from you, and you would do well to be sensitive to their circumstances, needs and feelings, and give them your support. You are actually in a strong position, but you can easily upset things by jumping to conclusions without patiently assessing the long-term implications.

Only by simplifying and being better organized will you know what your priorities need to be at this time. This will enable you to consciously set the foundation – actually start to create – what you want for yourself.

Put everything in its right place, detail by detail. Prioritize. A unified effort will be stronger than any individual effort. The true meaning of co-operation is to operate together. Open your mind to alternatives. It is only your fear of what is possibly in your mind that is keeping it closed.

Denied fear often draws to us the very situations we are trying to avoid. The acceptance of fear helps us to find ways to bypass or deal with potentially frightening situations.

Don’t assume that you already know what others are thinking or feeling. Don’t assume anything. Your vision is not being destroyed by the presence of others. It is simply expanding so that they can be included in it. This month brings you to the very edges of your limits so that you can push those boundaries away from you with your increased determination, patience, and belief in yourself. As you expand as an individual, so too must your limits of tolerance. You will then realize that you really can divide your attention proportionately, and that a particular vision or dream, if you are prepared to adjust it to suit your new reality, is still very much alive.

Virtually anything can happen in February in the 3 year – a month of diversity, excitement, change and high expectation. This month, horizons broaden. Love blossoms. Ideas and babies are conceived. New life is formed. Possibilities abound. Adventure is in the air. You may experience the conclusion of one matter so that another can expand. There is likely to be a ‘pregnant’ feeling now; a feeling of expectancy. And, yet, this month can only promise one thing. The unexpected.

Your desire to experience life more fully is expanding and, yes, it is possible for you to have freedom and happiness without guilt’s incessant harassment. Your life will change this month. A whole series of changes may occur – a chain reaction of events. Be confident. Go with it. Remember it was you who wanted change in the first place.

Stay focused. Keep your wits about you. So much is going on around you that you may ignore important details. You could say or do something inappropriate, or even become accident prone. Concentrate on what you’re doing, but not to the extent that your peripheral vision is completely cut off. You need to be able to see out of the corners of your eyes and face all the facts.

As your freedom to move and express yourself increases, you must also increase the boundaries of your imagination. The same tired old thinking will get you nowhere. Don’t worry about not knowing how to make something happen. That will come in time. Before you can walk, you must learn to crawl.

Keep your expectations high, but understand that you may end up discarding what you currently ‘think’ you want. And, if you don’t know what you want, that’s OK too. The important thing is to give your imagination its freedom. You may find that a change in someone else’s life will enable you to initiate an important change of your own which includes a more creative and less fearful way of thinking.

Attention must also be given to a particular mistake you have been making most of your life – a pattern of behavior or lifestyle that has consistently created trouble for you. You are reaching a deeper understanding of how it has effected you (and possibly others) and you must figure out a way to break this mold and let it evolve into the very experience that will help you move forward.

You are experiencing many different feelings at this time. The foundation of your life has shifted and this can create fear, sadness, anger, and all kinds of stress. This month is a constant exercise in emotional release, followed by renewed enthusiasm. Your deepest feelings are being released in waves – gigantic healing waves.

Whatever happens this month provides a way forward. Your ability to clearly and effectively communicate your needs, feelings, and ideas, will certainly affect the outcome. If you find yourself in unknown territory, stay alert. You are traveling through life’s corridors of change. Even if a certain change shakes you to the core, accept the fact that it also presents you with an opportunity to be free.

Act on your instincts – your true feelings – and travel confidently with this exciting cycle. A word of warning: this month’s vibrations are creative, physical, and sexual in nature. Pregnancy vibrations are at their highest. A physical child may well be the form of creativity you are hoping to achieve. If not, forewarned is forearmed.

I think there is a choice possible to us
at any moment, as long as we live. But there
is no sacrifice. There is a choice, and the
rest falls away. Second choice does not exist.
Muriel Rukeyser

You may experience a conflict between someone or something close to your heart, and your growing need to evolve into a more independent version of yourself. The choices you make this month can profoundly ef-fect others. Without considering their realities, needs and feelings, nerves can become frayed and responses are likely to be over-reactive. The themes of February are common sense, love, fairness, responsibility, and healing.

The 4 year lets you know what your limits are and, right now, it does seem that your personal, professional, or domestic limits have been reached. You need to re-gain your balance and devise a realistic schedule or plan in which all your responsibilities can be taken care of. As you attempt to get better organized, remember that sometimes things have to fall apart before they can fall into place.

What may seem like a loss or an unwanted interrup-tion, may actually be preventing you from moving in the wrong direction and is improving your overall tim-ing. This may be a chance to focus less on making a living, and more on how you would like to be living.

Life is trying to connect you to someone or some-thing that could be a catalyst for greater order and sta-bility – or it may be helping you to walk away from an unsatisfactory situation. This month’s events will make you realize just how strong you are. Understand the difference between struggle and effort. An uncomfort-able rift can be healed by letting go of an outdated be-lief as to what a certain relationship should be. Calm down. This month is all about finding solutions, restor-ing your ability to love without fear of loss, and creat-ing peace within yourself and with those you care for.

Face the problem and be prepared to work on it. Be-ing totally realistic will lead to the constructive solu-tions and healing that you, and someone else, evidently need. Be patient. Know the difference between helping and interfering. You don’t have to be right all the time. It’s okay to admit that you don’t have all the answers. In fact, there is likely to be one situation for which there is currently no answer at all. Accept it for what it is and express your feelings about it.

Attend to matters of maintenance or repair in your home and working environments. Tidy up any clutter that is taking up valuable space and blocking new en-ergy from entering your life. Check on the value of unwanted items. Selling them could help to bring more order to your finances. A more creative approach to money must be implemented so that an important long-term change can take place.

We are living in confusing times in which everyone must learn to solve their own problems according to their unique needs and knowledge, and to join forces with others who have also reached this level of under-standing. Free Will is the magic that is currently miss-ing from this evolving creation called life.

Free Will is the mastery that comes with taking full responsibility for yourself. The main ingredients of Free Will are (1) loving intent, and (2) the open expression of emotion. This evolutionary combination will enable you to feel and sense your way through life instead of being told what can and cannot be done. And from a state of genuine Free Will, it is so much easier to con-sider the feelings and needs of other people

This month, you will need to eliminate distraction and commit to finding the best way to change a certain situation. Think things out carefully, study, adjust, and plan. Some quiet time alone is needed, along with a new approach and a change of attitude. Observe what you already have and see its greater potential. Admit to past and present mistakes so that you can learn and benefit from them, and gain the wisdom that comes from being honest with yourself.

New and different ideas are pushing you in a new direction, but unresolved matters of the past can delay your progress until those old issues are finally (and fully) dealt with.

Wishing for a different outcome will not change the reality of that outcome, and although you may plan and visualize the way something will turn out, you then have to face the reality of how it does turn out and be prepared to quickly adapt to the unexpected.

There are some questions for which there are no answers but, now, in February of the 5 year cycle, there is at least one situation for which the answer is blatantly clear. When you understand this, your feelings of loneliness, doubt, pessimism, and anxiety will melt away. They are simply echoes of the past which are leaving your life. Let them go and start looking forward again.

Pay attention. Straighten up. Feel your freedom. Feel your imagination stirring from the restrictions placed on it last year. Regain your dignity and sense the potential before you.

One of the problems with the 5 energy is that, without correct understanding of current reality, one can become impulsive and reckless. No matter how unsatisfactory the situation is, don’t make that mistake now. Patient and careful planning is needed and, if you are planning to bring an end to a situation which is draining your Free Will, do so thoughtfully, and in a way that serves the best interests of all concerned. You have much to offer, but it may need to be presented in a different or more realistic way. Then you will see that the world has so much to offer you and that you must learn how to manifest what you want in the light of what is happening locally, nationally and globally. It is all connected.

You will be presenting yourself and your ideas to the world in March, so you had better use February to make yourself and your ideas presentable. Get your act together. NOW is the time to prepare and orchestrate, and to arrange something that you have been unable or afraid to do. Arrange it anyway. By the time March rolls around, unexpected things will have happened and you will have worked through your fears and you will be ready.

The numbness you are feeling is the result of all those feelings you’ve been holding in for a year or more. Find a way to let them out – privately if possible. And do be perfectly clear on one thing: there is never a need to hurt yourself or anyone else when expressing yourself.

Remember those times when you previously gave up on something before you truly experienced it, or stubbornly held on to something that served no purpose. Those are the mistakes that you will not want to repeat this month. No matter how it all feels right now, you really do stand to grow and prosper from the new circumstances that are starting to develop, and which are a lot brighter than you may currently be willing or able to admit.

This month, a change will occur that effects your work and your domestic and personal life. Approach everything in a confident and businesslike manner, and request whatever help or advice you need. Leave nothing to chance. The spotlight is on your finances, home, material belongings and long term security.

This is an opportunity-filled month when meaning and warmth can be restored to all areas of your life, creating a more balanced and comfortable feeling than you have experienced in a long time. This is a cycle of reward which gives you a return on whatever you have invested into your life. It emphasizes strength and prosperity and is often linked to money, business and property. A heightened sense of responsibility is likely in financial, legal, or career matters.

The 6 year cycle highlights education, and you are now likely to learn new things which can help boost your personal power levels. You may even learn something which can boost the prospects of someone else. But it is not enough to merely learn new facts. The key is to correctly understand the information you receive.

Don’t be stubborn. Be prepared to learn new things. It is OK to offer your advice or assistance, but let others make their own decisions. You can make things happen by acting decisively, realistically, and responsibly. Do not allow greed to motivate you as this could cause your best laid plans to backfire. If you concentrate only on the potential reward, you will be reducing your focus on what needs to be done to manifest it.

You need a high self-esteem and strong faith in your abilities. You also need to recognize when a mistake is not a mistake and when a delay or distraction is actually a blessing in disguise. Be alert and aware, and understand the value of what you have which, by the way, is likely to be more of an opportunity than a problem. A practical frame of mind will help you to express yourself with intelligence, confidence and affection. Others will be drawn to your material or financial common sense, and even inspired. In fact, this is a good time to consider how your actions – and the way you see the world – may affect others. Maintain a loving balance between them and your outside life.

Balance does not require you to stretch yourself uncomfortably between your different responsibilities. On the contrary, balance creates time and space for all that is important to you. By the way, what is important to you right now?

Your priorities are changing! Organize and manage your different activities in the order of their importance, as this will enable them to coexist freely and peacefully. Express yourself clearly. Put your cards on the table! You are in the process of redesigning your life, and there is simply no room for game-playing or keeping up appearances. All that matters are the facts – and your ability to understand them. February is a time to take new steps which will draw you closer to your true desires. This month, you have the power.

The purpose of February’s powerful vibrations are to wake up part of your mind that is asleep. As you start to question your own beliefs, focus on your true feelings and strive to end something that no longer serves a purpose. But don’t jump to conclusions. Think about this carefully. What needs to end is your reaction to something or someone else – even to society itself.

Suddenly, your mind is thinking in unfamiliar terms. Issues of the past are reemerging suddenly and mysteriously – triggered by events taking place in the present. Your memories, along with the feelings that were buried with them, must be allowed to flow without further denial because they represent the very things that are now tripping you up or holding you back.

The insight you stand to gain from the past can change your whole view of the present in the most positive way. Notice how your current situation is connected to all the things you ever did, and how each of your experiences automatically led to another, and then another, until you finally reached this place called NOW.

Of course, it is impossible to be fully in the present when half of you – your emotional half – is stuck somewhere in the past. You will not be able to look forward if your feelings keep dragging you backwards. Release those buried emotions by feeling them fully and expressing them out of your body.

See your life as one continuing journey – with a past, a present, and a future – rather than a fragmented sequence of unrelated events. The past is part of your unique journey. Regrets are unnecessary because whatever happened to you is only one segment of your voyage into Free Will. Next month you may find yourself plotting an entirely new course. But, in February, things are ending, not beginning. In fact, nothing new can begin until these emotional conclusions take place, and a particular event this month will help you to do so.

Getting your feelings out is the most needed ending of all right now. If you cannot be honest with yourself, who can you be honest with? How can you expect others to believe in you if you do not believe in yourself? These endings may affect others too. A sympathetic and compassionate approach will benefit all. GIVE, simply for the sake of giving, without any expectation of return or thanks. But do be aware of the different forms of giving that exist, including love, generosity, acceptance, time, assistance, and creative output. Sometimes giving simply means being yourself and encouraging others to be who they are. It can also mean giving way, giving in, or giving up. Only you can determine what you need to give and to whom. But remember that giving always entails letting go of something.

This is a month of independence, originality, and fresh starts. An important change is developing which will help you to move closer to a better way of life. Avoid impatience and aggression. Stay confident and focused, no matter what is going on. You are exactly where you need to be in order to receive valuable new information or insight. This will replace old beliefs that have been held in place by inexperience or misinformation.

Your feelings, thoughts and actions represent the planting of seeds which will start to bud in April. Get passionately involved with your own needs and desires and start creating a more suitable environment from which to fulfill them. Your goals will need dedication and time to materialize. Patience and consideration for others will also be needed. If you don’t know exactly how to get the ball rolling, don’t worry. The how to will follow the desire to. The magnetic pull of your desire – your Will – your feelings – your senses – your instincts – are now drawing you to the means of turning desire into reality.

Be prepared to learn new things as the situation changes. Some changes will occur of their own accord. Other changes must be made by you. One small change will lead to another – opening up an entirely new direction for you. We are all afraid of change. When fear arises this month, allow yourself to feel it instead of pretending that you’re not afraid. Acceptance of your feelings will provide the answers you need. You will then be able to proceed intelligently and confidently.

Now is a good time to eliminate addictions and excesses that keep you dependent on someone or something else – or keep you distracted from reality. This is a month to stand alone and seriously assess your needs, capabilities, potentials and resources.

Start something new. At least, start a new phase of an existing situation. Whatever you start now, even if it is only in your mind at this stage, stands a very good chance of success. Think about this carefully if you have a history of starting things but not following through. This cycle responds positively to originality and creative thinking.

Only by focusing on what you want will you be able to feel and measure your desires and abilities – and determine your own identity, instead of forever being told by others who you are and what you should be doing. Have patience with yourself, other people, and your goals. A sense of loneliness is inevitable this month. You want the love and support of others, but it is you, alone, who must do what is necessary to bring your desires to fruition.

A stressful aspect that you just can’t stand any more has, thankfully, run its course. The sooner you admit this to yourself, the sooner a decision can be made and acted upon. Something has to end, and this month’s healing energies are providing an opportunity to unburden yourself from something you have been reluctant to confront, even though it has been draining your energy to a large extent.

The more you struggle with the reality of certain situations, the more sensitive you will become and, therefore, more vulnerable to some form of pain. And, when you stop struggling with the truth, you must then accept that it’s OK to feel ‘relieved’. Only guilt would tell you otherwise. Take things easy. Get as much rest as you can. Your own interests, plans and goals are being taken care of on some other plain while you focus on an intense relationship matter.

This cycle of sensitivity promotes peace, understanding, diplomacy, partnership and cooperation. It stresses the powers of intuition, balance, and acceptance. Most of all, February in the 9 year is a cycle of emotional honesty. So, if you are losing patience with or interest in a certain situation, this is likely to be a sign of progress, not defeat. You have allowed certain circumstances to go on for too long because guilt, which thrives on your fear, told you that you had no choice. Now you know this situation cannot continue and that you must find a solution that allows you to keep what you love and move away from – or change – what is hurting you. In this cycle, there is likely to be more than one instance of this.

Teamwork and cooperation play important roles. There is a cause for every effect, and it is the cause, from the past, that you must now find – and heal. You are traveling through a powerful and cleansing vibration and, if you are honest with yourself, you will experience many different feelings that you previously tried to avoid. They need to come out now.

Remember that your healing process is a personal concern. There is no need to confront others when releasing your feelings, even though it may take the words or actions of someone else to bring these feelings to the surface. Give yourself the privacy and the time you need for this process. Your life cannot move forward in a satisfactory way until this matter is resolved.

Proceed calmly and confidently with your daily affairs. Many details need to be taken care of. If you find yourself swaying between having too much patience and having none at all, acknowledge what is really happening here – you are being stretched between the extremes of your situation. Being aware of these extremes will help you to find a point of balance from which you can express yourself spontaneously, without hurting yourself or anyone else. Allow others to express themselves freely, too.

The vibrations of February are gentle and caring, and it is YOU that you need to be gentle and caring with. Face the reality of your situation, look for the deep-rooted cause, release the feelings involved, and relax with the new understanding that follows.
