Snake Career
Your wisdom proves to be most resourceful this year, particularly in your career endeavors. Colleagues will admire your input and your opinion will be well respected among business circles. Your work will take you to new levels in your career, as you may see a promotion or a position change that offers you a direction that is more suitable to your skills. March, April and May are strong months for a career change or an upswing in your current position. Be prepared for an outstanding year in your work and don't be surprised if everything you do results in success
Snake Relationships
The Snake's social life will bring a high amount of satisfaction to you this year, as will your family life. Though you tend to be more of a loner, this year will provide occasions that may bring you out of your shell. You have always been a good listener and you will benefit from being more assertive in social situations. More to the point, you may be thrown into a position to be more assertive, rather than volunteering. Your quick thinking will prove to be most useful. Single Snakes may find the romantic relationship they seek, as romance is favored.
Snake Health
The Snake will not suffer any more than minor health issues, but you may want to watch what you eat and make it a point to exercise more often, as these may be areas that you tend to neglect. Your busy work schedule and social endeavors may make it difficult to maintain a regular schedule of exercise, but you can find time here and there to do something active. This will help your heart and may relive stress from a long work week.
Snake Wealth
The Snake will do well with your conservative approach to spending. You have always been disciplined in your finances and this year proves to be no different. If you maintain your frugal manner, you will find that you have accumulated enough by the end of the year to make a large purchase that you have been planning for a long time. If you are in doubt about a particular endeavor, don't hesitate to receive a second opinion before committing.
I sit here slowly sighing
And I'm wondering why and
'scuze me I forgot your name
I really think I'm dying
And I'm still wondering why and
Tell me, do you feel the same?
So now I think I blew it
Tho' I hardly knew it
Chalk it up; a big mistake
I thought I could be true if
I thought you could be, too, it
Really makes my insides ache
An elvis matchbook
With your number on it
I take one last look
So I don't forget it
Sometimes I get so frustrated when I think I'm the only one
Seeing these visions in my head
Just like my mind's eye has opened up wide, the floodgate's wide open
I wish you'd seen these things instead
An elvis matchbook
Now it's old and faded
I take one last look
Cause I can't forget it
I sit here slowly sighing
And I'm wondering why and
'scuze me I forgot your name
I really think I'm dying
And I'm still wondering why and
Tell me, do you feel the same?
So now I think I blew it
Tho' I hardly knew it
Chalk it up; a big mistake
I thought I could be true if
I thought you could be, too, it
Really makes my insides ache
An elvis matchbook
With your number on it
I take one last look
So I don't forget it
Sometimes I get so frustrated when I think I'm the only one
Seeing these visions in my head
Just like my mind's eye has opened up wide, the floodgate's wide open
I wish you'd seen these things instead
An elvis matchbook
Now it's old and faded
I take one last look
Cause I can't forget it

Many of us these days—particularly women—struggle with living a life that is not our own. We feel overworked, under-inspired and lost amidst the umpteen demands of spouse, house, kids and kin, or long hours at an unfulfilling job—with zero time for ourselves. Along the way, our creative spirit may have become shrouded, squelched, devalued, injured or ignored altogether. Too often, we’re forced to choose between our heart’s desires and everyday practicality. So, we deny that part of ourselves or put it on a shelf to be tended to “some day.” Here are 7 steps for finding balance and rediscovering your creative spirit
Instructions
The act of setting intentions—instead of goals—can be very powerful and effective. Here is the difference between the two: having a goal is like tying up a care package with string and sending it for delivery to a specified address. Intention is more like being on the other end of a delivery, with or without knowing its sender or contents. An intention-based life is approached, always, with optimism that gifts are arriving all the time. As the recipient, we are only responsible for signing for the package, unraveling the string and accepting the gift.
Exercise: Write a short poem or catch phrase that reminds you of your greatest intention for yourself and your life. It can be anything at all—no rules apply here. An example: “He who dies with the most joy wins.” Post this saying on your bathroom mirror, computer workstation or refrigerator.
The second step is to allow time to be still and quiet, such as meditation or another daily practice that opens you to a direct experience with the Creator. In doing so, you’re nurturing the creative part of yourself and bringing it to the forefront.
Exercise: Choose a simple daily (or regular) routine that connects you to Spirit: cut flowers or herbs in your garden, read the Bible or other sacred text, take a morning walk or do gentle yoga stretches. Afterwards, allow the energy to carry you into a mood of contemplation. Go about your day. If this mood fades, return to doing something that reconnects you—even if it’s just taking a few deep breaths or glancing at artwork that inspires you.
Intention, when combined with attention, enables us to become wildly generative receptacles through which creativity flows. When you stay in the present moment, as Eckhart Tolle says in his Oprah-chosen book, A New Earth, miracles begin to show themselves in the form of inspiration.
Exercise: Our voice is our song that we sing to the world. Pay attention to your song—meaning, how you say things, and the literal meaning of them. Years ago, I chose to replace the word “deadline” with “lifeline”—which better reflects how I feel about meeting my work assignments. Play with making up words to express what you’re feeling. When I saw a group of dolphins in Hawaii, I got so excited that I blurted out to my son, “What an endolphin rush!” What words can you replace or invent that more adequately intend what you want to create in your life?
Sooner or later in our creative journey, we have to put aside external modes of inspiration—whether it’s reading, taking workshops, relying on our loved ones to motivate us—and simply listen to what our inner voice is saying. All of the three steps mentioned so far (Intention, Daily Practice and Paying Attention) aid us in hearing more clearly the voice of our own creativity.
Exercise: As we turn within, we may have a tendency to look back at certain situations with regret or remorse. We all make mistakes. Guess what? That’s a good thing. In fact, nothing is as successful as a string of mistakes. Our alleged errors help us refine ourselves. Creativity is about change and experimentation; trial without error is unlikely, and constraints hamper creative flow. Do a meditation in which you forgive yourself for your mistakes (which are really gifts of insight in disguise). Going forward, allow yourself to have greater tolerance of mistakes—yours and others.
At certain times in our lives, having a mentor can be very useful—especially after we’ve gotten to know ourselves better and what we want by turning within. Now is the time to reach out and gain support for your creative endeavors—either with a specific teacher, a master’s class or community-based group.
Exercise: One option is to form a small circle of compatible folks who collectively intend to inspire and challenge one another. Begin by answering the question: In what way do I want to grow right now? Establish some simple ground rules and be creative by opting to go on outings or ending your circle with something fun—like chocolate all around….mmmmm.
When we become practiced at paying attention, we naturally begin to move into a space where we can impartially survey, as if from a distance, what is happening around us and to us. In Zen Buddhism, this state is called satori; to the earliest Christians, the term was gnosis––realizing direct knowledge. I like to think of it as our consciousness becoming conscious of itself, which results when we are fully present in every moment of our lives.
Exercise: Travel not only teaches us about other places, it can leads us inward to a richer understanding of who we are. When we change our environment and leave our comfort zone, we learn varied rules, boundaries and tolerances. Anything can happen: from a lost set of eyeglasses to crime and even warfare. Because our antenna is up when traveling, it increases our capacity to be present and witness people, places and situations. Take a trip to a place you’ve never been sometime in the next few months—even if it’s yet-to-be discovered place in your own neighborhood—and explore witnessing.
Creativity in its highest form is this: the outward expression of our internal beauty, revealed through our chosen endeavors. All work that is truly inspired emanates from a pure connection to two things: the deepest truth that your soul yearns to express and the highest devotion to rebirthing Creation through your self. That is what these seven concepts lead us towards––being able to integrate our creative longings with how to best express them and where they might be most practical and useful in the world.
Exercise: To successfully integrate, we first need to clear the lower emotions of guilt, shame and remorse. Is there someone you need to forgive? Mend the fence. Does someone deserve your forgiveness? Build a bridge. As A Course in Miracles says, “Today it’s time to practice forgiveness. Every tomorrow will profit from "it".
