Energy Forecast: Week of January 28

The week of January 28, 2007 offers breakthroughs for some people. Breakthrough, like the volcano image, speaks of erupting through a closed surface, bringing what was underneath to the forefront. Perhaps this might apply to projects that have been stalled now suddenly coming to life with new inspiration, or some goal that has been on the back burner that gets a "green light." Breakthroughs could occur on any level, but this pertains particularly to the physical, material life. Getting things done, moving ahead, feeling the sap rising could apply to career, household matters, creative projects, trips—you name it.

On a mental level, Retreat may be indicated for those who have come to a temporary dead end on ideas or plans. In the creative process, there comes a time when everything that can be done has been done and one must pull back and wait. Retreat is not failure. It implies a period of time to let things percolate, come to new levels. Perhaps support is on its way. The project or plan may need new stimuli to jump-start it to the next level. Waiting is usually uncomfortable to us western folks who just gotta get things done, yesterday! But waiting will bring its own reward to those willing to sit in their juices and stew a bit. Remember, nothing stays the same for long.

On an emotional level, Rescue is on its way! If you're feeling dried up in some part of your life, there is an oasis on the horizon. Perhaps you have been feeling alone in some endeavor; then Rescue might bring assistance in unexpected ways. Who knows, a long-lost friend or ally might appear out of nowhere and bring you the succor you crave. And then there is the possibility that YOU might be called on to do the rescuing. So this week, look out for fair damsels and winsome lads, poor waifs, or orphan projects and ideas that need emotional band-aids and your special brand of coaching.

Finally, there is a spirit of celebration in the air. Perhaps it's time to take a break from the overcast weather and hie-tail it to the nearest watering hole for some good company and lively conversation, or a night of dancing, or a picnic on the beach. At the very least, celebrate all the wonderful things you have accomplished so far in your life. Take stock and reward yourself. You deserve it. The cosmos supports Celebration this week, so make sure you take time out in a special way that celebrates being alive and well on planet earth, this week!

Remember readers, that soulmapping is a way of focusing energy for the coming week. In some small or large way, if you are paying attention, you will notice Breaththrough, Retreat, Rescue, and Celebration tiptoeing or crashing through your life. Your observations are welcome—post a comment. Meantime, be well, fellow travelers.
