January is All About Clarity

Your monthly metaphysical forecast by Andrew Kutchera.

This month your next steps will become clearer. Are you sensing what you signed up for in this lifetime? For many, these soul contracts are coming due. If you don't heed this divine advice, the messages might show up with increasing intensity. Please enjoy life, yet we also must help those around us – and at the very least do no harm. Angels are watching. Say hello! They can offer astonishing support if they see your sincerity to be of service.
Simultaneously, it's likely that we will continue to see the uncovering of corruption. This could be unnerving, but trust that balance is being restored. If these situations are angering or triggering, try to forgive as quickly as possible. Carrying resentments will slow the progress toward your own goals. 

This might be a good time to recognize any belittling thoughts. Try writing them on a post-it note and burning it. The freedom that you seek will arrive as you shed these layers of sticky self-dialogue.

With the above paragraphs, a good rule of thumb is to clean up your side of the street – either internal or external – rather than focusing on how others are misbehaving. This month is clearly KARMIC. If you've been a good human, then you can move forward with grace.

Beyond your inner work, it's likely that you will have a significant decision to make. Rather than writing a list of pros and cons, listen to your intuition. Many of our concerns can be resolved if we simply relax with our angelic assistance. Trust that the right decision will become apparent at the right time. Stillness is your friend.

Yet, news and personal communications may be particularly frenetic – and you could feel incredible pressure to maintain this pace. Be careful of getting caught up in a digital whirlwind. Can you balance this rush of information and also remain grounded? Take a nap. Hug a tree! Or stroll in a local park.

Finally, this month will bring an emotional challenge that is also an opportunity – where you will likely discover that your heart is blocked in a specific area. While this may be painful to realize, now is the time to melt this armor. Past situations probably caused you to choose defense mechanisms, which were only meant to be temporary. Specific events materialize for you to soften. Remember, there is no limit to feeling good! This quote from an anonymous sage may resonate: "Nobody really tells you this, but the healing hurts more than the wound”.

Here are some questions to ask yourself: Am I holding resentments regarding anyone who has done me wrong? Can I forgive them? Where in my life do I need to rethink my connections? Can I allow for people to fall away, in order to create space for new friends? What is my soul's calling? Am I taking practical steps to get there? If I'm doubting myself, can I isolate those thoughts and release them? What are my dreams telling me? Am I listening wholeheartedly? What kinds of conversations am I having with friends or colleagues? Are there cosmic cues within these exchanges? If news or dialogues get particularly fraught, can I disengage? Am I taking proactive steps to balance meditation and earthly responsibilities? Can I dream a little bigger for my life, yet allow for miraculous curveballs? Wishing you a wonderful month.
