1) The 2nd Month of the Year

In February, things begin to stir from the depth of winter. We have more light in the Northern Hemisphere and we are shaking off more of the residue from 2007. Our plans can now begin to take shape. There are several things to be aware of this month. The first is the retrograde of the planet Mercury. This period began on January 28th and continues until February 19th. If you can postpone initiating contracts, shopping and buying large purchases I would recommend it. Check all forms of communication to make sure both parties are on the same page. There are two eclipses this month as well; the first on February 6th and the second on February 21st. All in all with this much instability this month, I highly recommend you play catch up and clean up rather than initiate. If you want more success with your projects and affairs, try and wait until after the New Moon in March-the 8th of March. You will make much more progress next month.

Having announced this introduction to February, it is a month of patience. Since it is the second month of year, it invites one to become more cooperative, patient and diplomatic. The number two is the number of thinking past "yourself" to the other. Besides Valentine's Day and promoting a significant other, it is the month of sharing and expressing your feelings for another. To improve your ability to get along this month, persuasion will go much further than force. Remember, Bob Dylan's song "Everybody is shouting, which side are you on?" For the number two to exist requires two parts, not one part. We are past the initiating "one" month of January. Now we have the opportunity to negotiate and arbitrate to the satisfaction of both parties. Remember it takes "two" to tango. Don't push your projects in February. Let them flow and breathe. Especially with all these unusual energy events taking place.

Well, do you like the economy, the elections, the war and the weather so far this year? It is starting out as a humdinger. I have said it so much and so often "fear sells". Right now it is selling a whole lot better than "faith" and "trust". Add common sense to that as well. I would suggest that at this time of our lives, a bit of common sense and practicality will go far.

Yes, the housing market is in a slump and yes, the stock market is slouching and unemployment rising. But remember, the Zohar (mystical Jewish text) cites that "everything that originated from the tree of knowledge carries in it duality." None of these events we read about is very startling. What we do is look at what has taken place over the last 25 years (when credit card use really took off and screwy things happened in lending). You can see the present state of affairs being created. We need the dose of reality. Most people are not going to lose their houses. Many people will gain through this "crisis". I just met this morning with a financial adviser to look at what are the possibilities for purchasing real estate for the long term hold at very attractive rates and prices. The idea is not to panic. Marilyn Ferguson, the American writer, wrote "our biggest failure is our failure to see patterns."

There are several areas of the economy that will do well and will thrive through this period. It is imperative to gain more knowledge of the global economy and get an idea of the different options you have. Remember, the words for the day are "boutique knowledge". Find your special nitch of expertise. Differentiate yourself from the "herd". Don't retrain for jobs that are not going to be around that long. Definitely look into aspects of the health care professions, areas of conservation, information, communication and energies. America is moving away from the manufacturing side to the information and communications side. Get yourself on the right side.

For those of you who are worrying about your retirement funds, I say again, "the Soul does not come here to retire". Remove it from your thought patterns. You can plan on different careers at each stage of your life. Stop preparing yourself for the worst. Preparing yourself for a new career will keep you vital, smart and healthy. I just spoke with a friend yesterday who at age 66 is embarking on a new career, full time work, full benefits etc. with a great company in Southern California. They never knew her age but her credentials and vitality sold them. She had "retired" two years ago but it just didn't work out for her. What a great way to stay on top of the changes in technology and new knowledge. Go to work for a good company whose employees are younger than you and you will benefit. It definitely will fire up the engine.

Remember, nothing here on the earth plane is static. It is in a continual state of flux. Options you never could imagine are being created for you. You saw this week how the government responded by lowering interest rates and discussing another Congressional bill. I would suggest that America has entered into a very sobering but positive cycle. It will last approximately 15 years and will help us make corrections in areas of the social contract that are not in line with its original promise. We started out in 1776 with a statement of the purpose of this country. How close are we living up to our purpose? Where we are not, will be corrected.

Next month, in Laguna Beach, I will be filming a new DVD that will be out in the market in late April. It is a film on our life and times and the world's new Renaissance. If one can look into history and look past the headlines of today, you can see the synthesis of all these events. They are all interconnected and are part of the Renaissance cycle that naturally occurs approximately every 500 years. I will be announcing a "presale" of this DVD and will give you more information on it next month. I think these times are "stimulating" and necessary for us to grow and to understand the deeper connection of each of us to each other.

For those of you who are closely following the Presidential primaries. It will be pretty clear next week who the candidates will be. I will do an extensive background on the two candidates who win the primaries. Remember to look at the character of the person, the depth of the person not the sound bites. Campaigns are quite fictitious so it behooves you to do your homework and trust your inner wisdom.

For those of you, who are alone this Valentine's Day, treat yourself to something healthy, wealthy and wise. Why not call a friend and take them out for lunch, coffee, dinner or whatever the budget allows. People love to be invited out. We all need to be noticed and acknowledged.

Thank you for listening again. I always welcome your comments and will respond.

Until next month,

Keep trusting yourself,

— Gail
