Do you feel like you are building a bridge but the materials are either not showing up or are defective in some way? Welcome to the club. You have weathered the first storm of 2016, which was the Mercury Retrograde in January with Jupiter also going retrograde so I am sure in January there were many small bumps and irritations. I know all of us wish that some of this intensity would slow down for just a moment but the situations in life are altering so quickly it is as if you just take a step but before you are even able to make that next step, suddenly in midstep you have to make a quick slight adjustment. That makes everyone feel a bit off center and uncertain. We might as well get comfortable to being a little bit uncomfortable for the next 7 months as the swings of extremes feel as if they are becoming the norm.

I think it is interesting that in the Mayan Oracle we have two archetypes in sequence, Akbal and Kan. Akbal is like the dark, deep, and fertile ground, and Kan is the seed preparing to sprout. So as there is darkness before the dawn so too are all of us in a state of preparation for an opening to a new possibility. The weakness with these cards is that you can become too self critical, too internal, and too afraid of change. But change is all there is in life and when you refuse to change that is when you begin to die a little bit at a time.

Right now the mirrors are very close to your face. Those upsets and triggers that are setting you off are a mirror of those disowned patterns that are very difficult to see. That is why we have Akbal dominating the energies right now. February is all about embracing your inner shadow processes to learn from their gifts. Not an easy take when you feel as if the ground underneath you is less than stable.

This is a month when your inner insecurity is clearly on the surface. You doubt your choices and you doubt the reasoning behind them. Everything feels not completely real or solid. The bottom line is that you do not feel safe but safety is overrated. Being safe often means being in a box and not coming out. Well, the box is soaked and the sides are beginning to bend and collapse so it is no longer safe in that box anyway.

This is where movement is better than no movement. Creative processes are messy and fraught with unseen circumstances and outcomes. But all seeds must sprout, (Kan). For that seed there is a moment when you can’t turn back. It really is not as bad as your mind is making it out to be. What is outside that fear that you have been holding onto so tightly is family, connection, and love. The storm is over if you let go. Your fear is creating the storms in your life. Discover what is beyond the minds distorted window.

Smash that image of guilt, shame, or not be worthy enough. Just leap and go forward into the purity of your being knowing full well that it is enough. Be brave. Lead yourself into the fertile fires that you know will give you the transformation you want. Nothing your mind is telling you is correct. Feel with your heart and move your body in the direction that it is magnetically drawn towards. You are thirsting for new experiences. You are feeling bored with your old self. You long for a new way to perceive reality. Take the risk. Open to what shows itself to you and let something besides your mind lead you onward.
