This October seems a paradoxical month, but should that surprise any of us? We have been living, continue to live and will be living in a paradoxical world. For many of us, we may feel as though we have entered a strange and bizarre landscape where the parameters have dramatically shifted, the terrain unstable at best, and people’s attitude a little edgy, edging towards a seething frustration, fraught with anxiety.

September
September is a time when we get back to our normal routine, although normal is hardly the word to describe these times. We are locked in a push – pull between old and new, between deathings and birthings and often wondering which is which.

August
We’re looking for good times even if that means suspending rational judgment and embracing irrational exuberance. It doesn’t matter. We want to have fun, affirm our hope and assume that things are straightening out and getting ever better after a period of tumult and turmoil.

June seems a largely upbeat, flying high kind of month when we may want to engage in various social activities, have some fun adventures and get out of Dodge to explore new terrain.

We might feel as though our lives are flowering during this May period after a long, hard winter, autumn and late summer when the world appeared to be crashing down a bottomless ravine.

April
April could be a real whipsaw month, a month of extremes, and a month of paradoxes. Like the old western classic movie, it’s a month of the good, the bad, and the ugly. We are likely to be high energy (or is that high anxiety?) during this month.

March
This March reinforces the sense of betwixt and between that all of us may have been feeling over recent months. We might question whether we can move ahead without being hindered by our past or our daily obligations. We could wonder whether we have moved too far too fast in trying to implement changes in our lives.

February
February is a month when we can look to the future all the while that we are being haunted by the specters of our past.

January
January begins the year 2009, in numerology a master number year of the 11, a year of the visionary. This year allows us to look back, release ourselves from past limitations, relieve ourselves of past debts and obligations, and to move forward.
