WAKE UP! WAKE UP! Cock-a-doodle-do Cock-a-doodle-dooo!!!!
WAKE UP! WAKE UP!  It’s not going to stop…there is a relentless alarm to
                                                               WAKE UP! ​
Everywhere you look, people are in a heightened alert state.  Everywhere you look, things are heating up and the steam is rising.  There is fire in the core of our Being to wake up to our humanity, to wake up to the unity of all.  Unity is a fact.  Are you experiencing it?  Only through experiencing it do you really know it. 
 
You might be annoyed by the extremes of this fire and of the blatant way the Rooster crows…louder…and louder...and louder.  It won’t let you fall asleep.  It won’t let you be complacent.  You are waking up to life and to existence. 
 
What is your desire?  Is it to have more material possessions, to have positions, titles, or achievements?  Do you hold resentment, judge, want to control, or gain something from others?  These desires are driven by psychological drives.  Is it the desire to exist…the desire to be…the impulse to be compassionate?  All of these experiences are a part of existence.
 
What is left after all of these drives and experiences?  It is simply Love.  There is a kind of love that is redeeming. 

​It is this kind of Love that is an impulse to realize our Oneness with all of life.  There is a deep connecting field of energy called Love that is continually working within each and every one of us to be conscious of our unity. 
 
This Fiery Rooster energy is showing us all of the ways we have separated from each other and ourselves and to notice the ways we can come into greater unity by connecting.  What works and what doesn't?  Let this fiery energy work for you.  It offers a big push to boldly look at your shadow aspects, reflect upon your values, communicate your truth, set appropriate and healthy boundaries, and become more compassionate and caring.  
 
This year is one of being aware of Relationship in All ways and forms.  What is your relationship with pleasure?  What is your relationship to people that have different views than yours?  What is your relationship to your family and friends?  Are you cultivating compassion?  Are you consciously connecting with greater understanding?  Are you willing to deeply look at the parts of you that separate and where you connect?  It is simply to be Aware.  Whatever you find, it is all right.  Give yourself permission to feel what you feel.  It does not make you wrong or bad to have desire, to have separated from yourself or to separate from others.  Observe where you are.  Awareness itself brings an awakening of consciousness.
