The Self-Love Oracle Forecast: December 26th, 2016 – January 1st, 2017: Retrograde & Rebirth

Woah, last reading of the year! 2016 has been a tough one, but the polishing of diamonds can make it kinda rough on the rocks. Archangel Raphael again reminds us for the need not only to heal, but to surrender and transform. During a Mercury retrograde, and as the year closes, many of us may feel like we’re suspended in the dark between acts, waiting for the next show to start with uncertainty and dread. Use this time to go within, to find inspiration, and REALLY start thinking of how to CREATE our next year from a space of empowerment, rather than victimhood.

We’ll continue to see “things fall apart” in the world. What matters is what we do in the face of it: We can chose fear, hate and division, or humanity, peace, inclusion and love–no matter how hard it may seem. Despair is tempting when you assume you have to “do it all alone”–you don’t! Every moment can be a choice point in which we chose hope. If something is no longer working, we can challenge ourselves to do something differently, something we never dared before, whether it is to think, to believe, or to feel and act differently. Start looking hard at the people who are lights in the darkness. Make 2017 the year you START SHINING yourself, because we are all being asked to create ourselves anew. You need not be perfect, just authentic. So share your light, and may 2017 be the year you find new reservoirs of love and strength within you.
