My Dear Friend, 

What is the plan?Are you ready for the new cycle of the year? We have some exciting and adventurous times on our hands. We can utilize this time by disciplining ourselves and holding our morals high during the new life transitions. May the new time ahead be glorious.

We have the first new moon of the season in the sign of Capricorn on January 29th, this signifies renewal, and restart for the new cycle of the year. It is a time for new connections and new beginnings from relationships, social circles and new projects and new adventures. Capricorn moon will support you with progress, with your common sense and with your rebel. This is the best time to execute the new vision to benefit you and your larger personality.

We also have 4 planets transitioning this month. Starting from Feb 4th the Jupiter will be in direct motion in the sign of the Taurus moving towards the Gemini by the month of May.

Direct Jupiter will result in some positive outcomes of your plannings.

Venus in Pisces with North Nod will bring some breakthrough in technology for the luxury and comforts. By the middle of the month we will have the Sun, Mercury and Saturn in conjunction in Aquarius, which may result in the Sun as a ruler with the justice and balance of Saturn accompanied by the Mercury’s intelligence will make coming months very exciting and fresh. Mars in Gemini will bring energy in our communication, logics, and ideas into an action with Gemini’s qualities,  encourage us to do and think outside of the box, make new decisions and new approaches.

A short story–Are you searching in the wrong place?

A famous Sufi mystic, Rabiya, was searching for something on the street outside her small hut. The sun was setting and darkness was descending, as few people gathered around her. “What have you lost? What are you searching for?  Perhaps we can help,” they said to Rabiya.

Rabiya said, “I have lost my needle.”

One amongst the people said, “Well, the sun is setting now and it will be very difficult to find the needle. Where has it fallen? That’ll help us narrow down the area on this big road.  If we know the exact place, it will be easier to find it.”

Rabiya told them, “It is better not to ask me that question — because, actually, it has not fallen on the road at all.  It has fallen inside my house.”

Everyone started giggling as if she was joking.  Then a skeptic says out loud, “We always knew that you were a little insane!  If the needle has fallen inside the house, then why are you searching for it on the road?”

“For a very simple reason: inside the house there is no light and on the outside a little light is still there,” Rabiya replied.

The people laughed and started dispersing.  Rabiya called them back and said, “Listen! That’s exactly what you are doing: I was just following your example. You go on seeking bliss in the outside world without asking the most fundamental question: where exactly have I lost it?”

After a pause, she continues, “You have lost it inside, and yet you are looking for it on the outside for the very same reason — your senses are outward bound, your ears hear sounds on the outside, your hands touch things on the outside.  That’s the reason why you are searching outside. For a very long time, I was also just searching on the outside.  But the day I searched inwards, I was surprised.  That is where I lost it and that is the only place it can be found.”
