Here and Now I Exist – Who you are now, in your entirety.
The Generous Beggar – You are currently in a place where you are learning to not just generously offer your help to others, but ask for it when you needed it as well.
The Slough – What is to be left in the past as you move forward.
The Painter Girl – Imagination and inspiration may take a backseat for a bit as you tend to your personal needs instead. Try not to beat yourself up over this, as things will eventually slip back into a balance you’re more comfortable with.
What Lies Ahead – An ideal state or ideal self you are seeking at this time.
Awaiting Spring – Patience has never been your strong suit, but it’s something you strive to become better at. You may get a bit of extra practicing with this goal as February begins.
Limitations – Negative influences, opposition, or ill will.
The Plastics – Don’t try and fit in where you don’t belong. It won’t go well, and will end up being something you regret in the long run.
The Boon – Positive influences, higher guidance, or divine intervention.
The Green Man – Do step into those places where you do belong and fit in. Don’t be shy about joining in on those things that are truly a good fit for you.
The Wound – An unpleasant past experience or event that is ripe for some support and healing.
Witchery Afoot – A cleansing is needed. That tulpa that was sent your way a few years ago has left some lingering traces of energy tapping behind. It’s time to purge what’s left and lingers so that it can be left behind for good.
Nostalgia – A positive past experience or event to acknowledge, reflect upon, and enjoy.
Severing the Stems – The severing ritual worked, and the tulpa was expunged. Don’t doubt the power of what you already have accomplished; the most taxing part of the work is already done. The problem lies in your emotions that linger on in response to the experience.
A Warning – Something coming that can be prevented or overcome.
The Artisian – Overworking yourself won’t make things better right now. It’ll just make you tired and careless, leading to mistakes that you otherwise wouldn’t be making.
Empowerment – A future opportunity to work toward.
The Abundant Sun – The potential for peace and tranquility in your life is high right now, if you’re willing to train your focus in that direction. If you put too many irons in the fire at once, though, it’ll create too much work and become harder to focus on what’s truly important.
Message from the Spirit World – When you work hard and play hard, it opens up a wealth of new opportunities to explore.
Message from the Mind’s World – There’s a difference between the thoughts that hold you back and the thoughts that offer opportunities for growth. Take care not to let the former outweigh the latter.
Message from the Physical World – Be active in pruning those from your life that are harmful to you, and involve others to ensure that this is done with thorough permanence.
Take Away – You’re tired and need to rest. Don’t allow guilt or ambition to keep you from getting the rest and re-centering that you need right now. The transitions in your life that you are struggling to adjust to will move at whatever pace you set, so set one that’s healthy and manageable for you.
Spent some time making sure you are truly disconnected (including emotionally) from events in the past that could still be tapping into your energy. Deal with those emotions that linger instead of ignoring them, for they’re siphoning off energy you could be using elsewhere right now.
