2014—The
Chariot Year
2013 was a year focused on Relationships—reassessing
and creating equality in all of our relationships. 2014 is a year focused on Change. This is a year when
you may choose to move, relocate or have a greater desire to travel. There may even be possible career
changes (changes in occupation, location or focus). The primary symbol for 2014 is the
Chariot, which represents change through decision and conscious choice. This is a year to make changes which are
positive, expansive and which nurture and support you. When you follow your heart, these
changes will effect you mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually,
bringing all aspects of yourself into greater harmony.
During this year, you will be faced with opportunities to
become aware of any areas in your life where you are held back by your fear of
failure. Your challenge is to take
positive action in these circumstances to overcome your fears. DonÕt be tempted to feel sorry for
yourself, to see yourself as a victim or at the effect of any external
conditions, individuals or situations. You must take positive steps to change
the (apparently) limiting circumstances in your life.
Picture yourself in an old fashioned chariot (ala: Ben Hur).
You are standing in the chariot, holding the reigns in your hands with the
horses out in front—literally chomping at the bit. During 2014, you have
unlimited power in those horses to take you anywhere you choose to go. You are
in total control of your life and this is the year to be fully supported in
knowing and experiencing that.
The keys:
1. Know
where you want to go. Have a goal, a direction, a plan. This can only be done
by taking some ÒinnerÓ time to tune into your heartfelt desires and your inner
guidance. Once you know where you want to go, then direct the horses.
2. Hang
onto the reigns with full confidence, optimism and faith in your own abilities.
If you throw up your hands in fear or resignation, the horses will keep going
and you will experience being Òtaken for a rideÓ. No fun. If you find yourself some place
you donÕt wish to be, merely stop the chariot, take a look around, choose
another goal or destination and head off in that direction.
ÒI consciously
choose for change.Ó
ÒI know my chosen
path and consciously focus my energies toward my goal.Ó
ÒBy
harnessing all my forces toward my purpose & controlling my fears, I
victoriously meet my challenges.Ó
2014
is also a year focused on Optimism;
a time to look for and believe in all the good things to come; a year to enjoy
your choices and inspire others with your optimistic views of the future. The potential ÒpitfallÓ is avoidance; procrastination, fear of pain
and conflict, trying to make everything ÔniceÕ and comfortable, over-indulgence
in pleasures. We need to find our
security in the present moment, as it is, finding learning, growth and pleasure
in creative self-expression. Seek
friends who are willing to encourage us to bring some of our many plans into
reality, helping us commit to and be accountable for projects which truly serve
us.
ÒI am willing to
experience all.Ó
ÒI open to the
full experience of each moment, expressing my joy
for
the perfection and goodness of life as it unfolds before me.Ó
The primary support tools available in 2014 are:
¥ The
Hierophant—When we begin to
experience futility, fear of failure, self-indulgence or feeling sorry for
ourselves, it is time to consciously teach what we need to learn, trust our
inner knowing, create support systems, establish a spiritual discipline, and
focus on commitment which joins heart, mind and action in some cause.
ÒI am given the wisdom I need.Ó
ÒI trust my higher Self to direct and empower the perfect
application of my teaching and inspirational gifts.Ó
ÒI
commit my obedience only where and when my Higher Self directs.Ó
¥ Exploration—Maintain
idealism, confidence, honesty, motivation and a straight-forward approach to
life. Develop ability to see the
future by understanding current trends and remember that goals will be achieved
through the power of positive thinking.
ÒI open to new vistas.Ó
ÒI am
open and free, ready to experience all the world has to offer and more.Ó
¥ The
Aura—Representing the ability to uplift and inspire, a strong
self-identity and inner peace fueling a bright, shining outer countenance.
ÒI am inspired as I inspire.Ó
ÒMy
presence alone is a blessing to all, bringing inspiration, peace and
enlightenment.Ó
