Everybody's 2009

Hey, everybody! Here's your 2009!

Use this reading, based in my variation on the old Celtic Cross, and read into it whatever best applies to your individual situation. And, believe me, it applies to each and every one of you!

YOU: Justice

This is the year when you've just got to get yourself together. No denial. No avoidance. No more excuses. You simply cannot continue on as you are. Corrections will be made and dues will be paid. Shape up or ship out. We're moving on.

WHAT CROSSES YOU/WHAT YOU ENCOUNTER: 8 of Wands reversed

The pressure's on, but most of it is internal, roiling and arising from your own sense of dissatisfaction. Sure, somebody can rear up and kick you in the butt, but you can do that well enough for yourself. Of course, what we're talking about here is, each one of us doing it for ourselves.

FOUNDATION OF THE SITUATION: Temperance

Just another sign of the compelling urge to renew, refresh and start up again in a more balanced way. You can do it.

WHAT IMPRESSES YOU/WHAT YOU'RE SENSITIVE TO: The High Priestess

Expect to run into a buzzsaw of serious internal questioning (which could also manifest in your external circumstances...so, watch for that, too). Don't worry. This questioning and testing and weighing will only help you to mentally and spiritually bulk up and be prepared for the challenges of your next stage and status in life. Step up to it!

WHAT MOTIVATES YOU: The Magician reversed

You're motivated by looking at your (and the world's) ineptitude and inadequacies and thinking: Shit, I'm so totally sick of this! Time for change!

HOW YOU USE OR COULD USE YOUR ENERGY IN THE WORLD: Queen of Swords reversed

First, get your own head on straight. Figure out just what it is you're thinking and if that thinking process makes sense. Make it make sense. Then--and only then--take it public. Geeze, we need more light and clarity out here, people!

YOUR SELF-IMAGE: Queen of Pentacles reversed

Once again, work on nurturing yourself, yeah, mothering yourself. True, inner-rooted self-awareness and self-confidence--not blowhard arrogance and aggression--is what you need and we need from you. When you have taken time to give to yourself and you truly feel good about yourself, you'll be less likely to do damage out here. From all of us to all of you, thank you in advance.

YOUR ENVIRONMENT (Physical, social, emotional, energetic): Judgement

This is a shout-out to all of you to wake up! And here, again, it's important that each of you look to your individual situation and figure out what part of yourself have you given up on, disowned, buried? What crap have you told yourself you believe when you know it's crap? Are you allowing the circumstances that surround you to discourage and stifle the authentic you? What part of yourself could come roaring back to life, if you'd only let it?

LIFE LESSON: Knight of Swords

Rev up that energy and let it rip! Expect a series of knotty situations to deal with, but I see each and every one of you swinging your swords and slicing clean through. Like butter. You ARE fiercer than your problems.

OUTCOME/TREND TORWARDS FUTURE: Ace of Wands

As Patti Smith says, "People got the power!" And as Barack Obama says, "Yes, we can!"

Here's to 2009!
