This is the motto of this month and, at the same time, it’s one of the most important course directions of the year as a whole:

Partnership, co-creation, mutual support and synergies!

January is energetically a rather inward, calm month.

It’s a good month to deal with many things that you have left untouched for a long time; for that which piles up at home, wants to be done there or even subjects, for which it’s simply a matter of "being" or “sitting” with oneself and things.

Just around the turn of the year, we had a phase of very high energy. This can have had quite a different impact on the individual. For example, you may not have found any sleep at night or you find that you currently need 12 hours of sleep. It seems as if the year 2016, which was for many a very moving year – in the exterior as well as in the inside – drew to a close with a deceleration, which will go well into the middle of the month, latent over the whole month. It can show up as a kind of basic exhaustion or you are directly forced to take a quieter gait, as through abrupt injuries, fainting, total knockouts due to unusually severe colds or other physical symptoms.

..in times of outer turmoil. 

I often make an extra turn in the park just to pass this tree! It has such a soft, intimate and yet strong, unbreakable presence.

First, it comes differently and secondly as one thinks.

If anything applies to this month, it’s probably this ancient wisdom.

The image becomes clearer. An equalization is clearly noticeable. Nevertheless, we are still touched at our "trigger points" or old wounds, so that they can heal, we lose the charge on them, develop a greater equanimity and are less and less in a reactive attitude towards the world when certain buttons are pushed within us.

Why does it only seem to be about the finger in the wound?

It’s our wounds, which, at the same time, reflect our protective mechanisms in the form of blockages and resistances which act in us like (on autopilot). You may ask yourself, e.g., if you have tried everything in the professional world over and over again, why it still hasn’t come to a blossom so far? Or why you can completely unlatch with trifles or fall into a total impotence, being no longer capable of anything else for the rest of the day (perhaps even days) – trifles that may appear entirely secondary for others; Or that you are extremely sensitive to some topics, so that you reply – without intending or wanting to do so – very harsh and your counterpart doesn’t have a clue what’s going on. Through the perception of our wounds and the conscious look, also our mechanisms in life are revealed to us, and this is, in return, the gift of this time. Observe yourself in this awareness very carefully and deliberately in these weeks.

Intense times, right?

It's a bit like a flicker in the air. A flicker of tension. Currently everything is heating up energetically so much and if you are highly sensitive, then it can feel as if you were sometimes pinched as if in a vise. For now, there are such extensive collective upheavals of the unconscious taking place, and the collision of already very subtle energies with the still gross, old collective beliefs and thought systems can strongly intensify the actual situation in addition to your own internal processes.

Just know about it and be more lenient with you than ever, if things don’t go in the way or at the pace, as you wish.

This in advance!

October is quiet on the whole, but not motionless.

It is not a month of rapid ups and down and high waves, as we know it well enough from the summer months. Nevertheless, a stable transformation moves soundlessly on. It will be – and that is the big and fundamental change in these days – accompanied by a different way of acceptance.

Your consciousness has changed in such a way that another kind of agreement is possible in situations, even if they are painful, different than expected or unforeseen. As a broader understanding that EVERYTHING that happens is to the best for you.

This prepares the ground for a trust which is in you and grows noticeably, just like an “I know”. And this is not a knowledge that comes from the mind, rather a knowledge that is an inner wisdom that could arise through your path. It was Søren Kierkegaard who coined the phrase: “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards”. When you look back today, now, in this moment – all of the deep, moving, agitating and touching times, which were certainly not always easy, all had their good sides and were necessary to bring you where you are today. Can you see that? Can you see yourself in it? Appreciatively, yet without pride. It takes a lot of courage and patience to travel this path, which is beyond our conventional notion of success and “progress”. Thanks for you!
