January 8th to 14th

January is the month of good resolutions, because it really is very important to start the year with positive goals in mind. Some phrases that contain a resolution have magical power when repeated several times over each day, such as this one: « This year I am choosing to make changes for the better in… it is my will and so it shall be so! » Just add in the aspect of your life you want to work on and improve: ….stopping smoking, …being more open, …being a better listener, …focusing on my work, …stopping wasting money on frivolous thing, …sticking to my diet, etc. The results are guaranteed if you keep it up over the whole month.

• A recipe for vitality: if you need to recharge your batteries for the new year ahead you can tap into on nature’s own energy source by touching a tree. Choose a large, fully-grown tree and press your palms or your back against its trunk while imagining its energy flowing. Do this several days running, and don’t forget to thank the tree!

• Your Lunar Calendar:

On January 8^th and 9^th the Moon in Cancel will see many among you gritting your teeth as minor misunderstandings over petty issues risk getting blown out of all proportion. Don’t withdraw into yourself and let the stress get to you! The 9^th will bring the full moon. There are those around you who may show vulnerabilities. Be on your guard. If you’re starting a weight-loss regime, now’s the ideal time for a detox diet. You should definitely do a lunar fast on the 9^th – it may do you good after the seasonal excesses. Start off on the right foot with your energy levels.

On the 10^th and 11^th, the Moon is waning and in Leo. This is a great time for invitations. Make the most of this time to get your house in order. Lavish some attention on your hair and nails.

On the 12^th, 13^th and 14^th, the Moon in Virgo will drive you to rethink your time management. Get organised so you’re not spreading your efforts to thinly and failing to focus on any one thing. Carry on sorting through the backlog of jobs and resolve any outstanding issues that may be dividing your attention and preventing you from moving forwards. Now’s a good time for planting fruit trees in pots. Saturday January 14ths is an auspicious day for performing purification rituals either for your home or for an individual.
