Kelly M. Beard – This month’s energy helps you focus on expressing your innate uniqueness, on all levels. It is also the energy of experimentation – try some new way of doing an old thing. Try to get an understanding of the bigger picture, see your connection to the whole or work on planning your long-term goals.

Sometimes we get too bogged down in mundane matters and we lose sight of why we started doing the things we’re doing in the first place. Avoid seeking others’ approval, as most people think differently and may not understand your truth and purpose, which is really none of their concern to begin with. Try seeing the positive side of everything this month – even if it utterly sucks!

Find the lesson and/or the blessing in it and release it back to the Universe. You may not be able to do it consistently for the entire month, start out slowly, one whole day, one whole week, etc. Be flexible!! This would also be a good time to hang out with good friends, make some new friends and/or try some group activities – exchange some energy – experience the flow – make those connections ~ it’s a wonderful thing!! This is the month to create your definition of an authentic community!

Aquarius/Uranus is the energy of lightning – that instant illumination, that split second bright flash which lights your way in the darkness, that sudden realization of the obvious. It’s powerful and equally natural yet (occasionally) dangerous. You may blurt some truth out at an inopportune time and place. Or you may say what everyone else was thinking and, in the end, it was something that needed to be said aloud.

Also, with Uranus, the only consistent thing about it is to “expect the unexpected”. If you prefer routine and predictability, this is the energy that drives you crazy! But it is probably also just what you need … on an occasional basis.

I can assure you that the more you try to control and predict things this month, the more far out, strange, uncontrollable and unpredictable the Universe will make things for you. Remember, resisting the natural flow of any energy only increases its strength or the appearance of strength in your own mind & perceptions.

The best way to deal with this energy is to sit back, relax and watch. It is absolutely uncontrollable. It is better to breathe and welcome the new and unexpected with an open mind and heart. Ask: How is this perfect? Uranus challenges the rigid structures in life that some prefer and work so hard to create and maintain.

Think of a time when you have remained in a situation just because it was familiar in order to avoid the uncertainty that change may bring, even when you know change may be for your Highest good. That’s what is called remaining in a “known hell” versus venturing out into an “unknown heaven” and you’d be surprised how many people live miserable lives simply out of fear of the unknown.

This month is about venturing out! Mentally ~ Emotionally ~ Spiritually … and oh yes, Physically! Experiment with new ways of thinking, acting, speaking and being. Even if it doesn’t work out, just see how it feels to be spontaneous or do something different for a change, it may be just what you need to jump-start your heart, activate your imagination and inspire your Spirit!

Expand the Vision

Aquarius has to integrate the self-love lesson of Leo, in order to make its unique contribution to the community and reminds you to think outside the box (Aquarius/Uranus) & follow your heart (Leo/Sun) for the betterment of all.

What has changed on a *fundamental* level (Cancer/Capricorn ~ personal/professional) for you, that has now made you aware of how vital it is to honor your own essential nature (Leo/Sun) so that you are able to contribute to the whole (Aquarius/Uranus) in a more useful and delicious way? It is time for you to further define truth and happiness for yourself. It can no longer follow the formula of generations past. You have direct access to this potent Uranian energy and you can now connect directly to a unique vision of life, community and the planet.

If you have been getting in-sync with your own personal cycles and the current energy, harmonizing with nature more often, and vibrating at a new (and Higher) frequency, catching glimpses of your new reality, then you are on the right track. Part of your covenant with the Universe, to be here at this time to usher in this new era. Your consciousness IS your contribution, how you use your energy at this time is setting the tone for generations to come. When you step out of “survival mode” even for a second, your perspective shifts and you see that you are participating at the dawn of a new age.

The beginning is the most delicate stage of evolution or of any cycle. You are likewise beginning anew (on one or many levels in your life). Choices made now are crucial to your long-term success. Aquarius time is the perfect time to broaden the scope of your vision. If hindsight is 20/20, then what would you do differently NOW/TODAY to align your life and daily routine with your deepest heart’s desire? For example, I’ve been using the moving metaphor lately because we have been “moving” into a brand new, and long-term cycle.

♦ Say you had to move next month, what amenities would you look for
that you did not think of when choosing the place you currently reside in?

♦ In relationships, what would you choose differently
if you were to start over at this time?

♦ In career choices, how different would your career path be
if you chose something you love and are passionate about
versus what paid the most or had the most prestige, or worse,
what someone else wanted you to do?

This is the time to apply these standard questions to the current time and situation. How have you truly *moved* … in consciousness and in reality? This is a prime opportunity to set new intentions for living your own individual Truth & Purpose.

The issues, people and circumstances that are leaving your life at this time are moving out in Divine Time & Order. That is creating a vacuum for you to start fresh, with a clean slate. Choose wisely, be prepared to work hard but take time to recognize every blessing along the way. When you work from the heart, with passion and purpose, the angels pave the way!
