Intuitive Patterns for the Month of March

The Medicine cards seem to sum up the feeling of March in a nutshell. The Elk is about having the stamina and the willingness to go the distance. The Rabbit is about dealing with fear and not freezing into a place of no movement. And the Raven is about allowing and following the magic into a new place that connects this world with the next.

So in March, we need to know that situations are going to take all of our stamina and energy to make it through to the next levels. We need to be willing to do what it takes moment by moment and find the place inside ourselves that knows that sometimes you need to head straight up the hill like an elk, rather than take a easier route to get to the goal. This is a time when we need to find the determination and strength to be willing to take the hard but more direct route to get to our destination. When it comes to our economy that may be the safest and quickest route to take but it will also be the most difficult in the short run. We need to find our own inner determination that consistently and steadily takes the more difficult path in order to make the pain a shorter length of time. The road ahead is rocky and a steep uphill climb but we are Americans and we are nothing if not determined to find the innovative pathways to reach new heights of awareness and skill.

We also need to take a good look at our fear and know that if we freeze in this moment and refuse to take action then we may find ourselves in a very bad position. I have heard from many clients that they have friends, family, children, or spouses that have gotten caught up in all the 2012 apocalyptic negative news and have literally decided that the world is coming to an end so why try to worry about the money or retirement. These individuals have stopped working and have fallen into a frozen state of waiting for the end. Not only is this an inappropriate way to think of our present situation but also it does not allow for the growth that is always present if we are willing to take a good look around and work on the places that we need to evolve. Even if (and it is a highly doubtful possibility) the world was going to come to an end, I would want to grow as much as I could and continue to expand my awareness all the way up to the end. I would not want to die feeling as if I did not reach out and touch as many as I could with my heart and awareness. The world has always had gloom and doom predictions. Every century thinks that this will be the one. I have loved to study history and you would be amazed at how this pattern has repeated throughout history and yet we are still here. Humanity is amazingly tough. Consciousness and love is God manifesting through our experience of these bodies. I personally do not want to waste this most precious of gifts waiting for the end and contracting so far down into fear that I become of no use to my family or friends. Fear is incredibly debilitating and if we justify not moving because of information that we have chosen to believe from others we are not expressing our godlikeness in this world. If we were made in God’s image, ask yourself, “What would God do?” Would God just collapse and not try to make a change. I do not believe this universe would have been created if that were the case. So, take a moment to get up and get going. Stop allowing the fear to destroy all that you have worked so hard to create. Do not freeze like a rabbit and wait for the coyote to come and eat you. You can move and you can move quickly when you put your mind to it.

And finally we come to the message of Raven. Raven reminds us that we need to learn about our inner fears and self created demons. Raven gives us the courage to enter into our own darkness and find the part of our spirit that has been hidden away from us until we were ready to be responsible with the power and magic that we all carry within. To the Raven, the color black is not evil. It is the indication that we are seeking answers and have embarked on a spiritual journey into the nonphysical. It is by our looking into our own darkness that we find the way to awaken. Raven shows a tremendous change in consciousness is possible if you are willing to bring your hidden gifts out of the darkness and into the light.

So March is full of opportunities to expand, participate, and to deal with conflicts in totally new ways. Notice where you are making things more difficult than they need to be. Notice if you are one of those people who revels in conflict and enjoys sowing the seeds of discord to validate the negativity that you have not released within. Or would you rather be a person who is choosing to act on intuition and is willing to have the courage to try some unconventional ideas. Hopefully, you want to be the later.

Something amazing is happening. But it will require a great deal of sensitivity to find the ways to reclaim your inner and outer mastery. We cannot do it alone. We all need each other to reflect the patterns that we are blind to within us. We cannot change something if we cannot see it. Often others are of great help because we tend to perceive from the way our brain likes to integrate information. But there are other perspectives and ways to see things. It is through the insights of others that I have found most of my breakthroughs towards growth and wholeness.

There are levels of awareness that you must learn to trust yourself. If you are on that level, that is wonderful as you cannot do the next level without knowing how to navigate and trust your higher self. But beyond the concept of “Me needing to be right.”, is a possibility to allow others to share where they think you might want or need to grow in order to feel more fulfilled.

As a country we are stepping beyond the childlike, narcissistic pattern of needing to be right and the belief that life should revolve all around me, towards a more mature place of knowing that others might just be holding the truths and perspectives that could allow for a greater awareness and feeling of completion if we learn how to communicate and work together.
