That's Right! I am fully supported in love by the Universe

That's Right! Each day is a miracle of beauty and possibility

That's Right! Love and compassion are my goals

That's Right! Each moment brings new perspectives

That's Right! I am aligned with the rhythms of life

I spent the last few hours watching the crescent moon travel slowly across the sky. Her gentle luminosity shined through the window and I aligned myself with the energy that was being shared. Slowly, as the sun began to lighten the sky, I was grateful to be a conscious participant in another beautiful day.

Rhythm is the pulse of all things. It is found in the heartbeat of nature, the harmonious workings of the physical body and the cyclic movement which unfolds constantly all around us.

Whether one resides in the city, by the ocean, in the forest, mountains or desert, it's important to allow yourself to slow down and appreciate the rhythms of life. This begins with understanding the cyclic energy of your unique destiny.

Each year we enter a new vibration. To determine your current cycle,  add together the numbers in the year of your most recent birthday (2011 = 4 or 2012 = 5), then add that number to the month and date of your birthday. For instance, my birthday is March 18th. Therefore, I'll add 5+3+18 = 26. Add the 2+6 - I am in an "8" year.

1 - new beginnings, leadership, the start of something new

2 - receptivity, dreams, cooperation

3 - creativity, birth, flow and harmony

4 - stability, security, sacred space

5 - change, growth, movement

6 - home, love, family, service

7 - wisdom, seeking knowledge, enlightenment

8 - power, money, strength

9 - completion, healing, understanding, teaching

The planetary cycles are:

Autumn - endings and beginnings, new starts, harvest, abundance

Winter - meditation, slowing down, intuition, healing, rest

Spring - creativity, cleansing, self-expression, new opportunities

Summer - abundance, love, mysteries and magic

Knowing your personal cycle can help you to focus your energies in a way that allows things to flow more easily in your life. For instance, it would be a challenge to begin a new project when one is in a cycle of completion - there would be blockages, frustration, etc. Alternatively, if a new idea is forming - allow yourself time to formulate an approach and wait until a "1" cycle is reached. The energy will then be in alignment with the cycle and things will move easily. For even more momentum, one might choose to begin new projects during Autumn of a "1" year.

Today my intent is enjoy the beauty of spring, the awakening of life and new possibilities. I am willing to experience new opportunities, take a few risks, embrace my creativity and cleanse my life of things which are no longer needed... joyfully!
