Tip of the Week:
The last week of the natural year cycle has begun. Winter Solstice occurs on December 21st as usual. The hours of sunlight are at their shortest. A spiritual or holy mood prevails supported by the longer hours of darkness traditionally countered with candlelight. Ironically, most people overlook this special moment, distracted by the busy Christmas season focus.
Beyond taking it for granted, the deeper implications reveal a mass social and cultural disconnect from nature’s rhythms and cycles. It seems quite likely that the collective act of taking for granted the intimate relationship between the Sun and Earth, (the phenomenal reality of the rhythmic, annual seasonal cycle), contributes to the daily abuses inflicted on the relatively fragile environments of the world.
Yet, we can also contribute to changing this current attitude by tuning in and perhaps lighting a candle or two in reverence to the majesty of nature.
The Moon this week hosts last week’s Sagittarius New Moon now at its Crescent Phase, and waxing toward half mast, so to speak, which it will achieve on December 19. Tuning in to the rhythmic cycles of the Moon requires extra attention, but for those who take the time, synchronicities are revealed and can re-awaken us to recognize just how intimate and genuine is our relationship with our blessed Moon. Understanding this cycle can also be harnessed for practical purposes.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You are in an optimistic and adventurous mood. This energy pattern could also manifest as a philosophical attitude. Either way, managing changing financial realities is part of the plot. While a visionary perspective is ideal, identifying and breaking free of wishful thinking and lofty yet ungrounded notions is also important.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
The last quarter of Sagittarius time is your cue to follow through on a period of change, transformation, and regeneration. Upon reflection, you may notice that you have undergone shifts in your attitude and approach. The purpose is to increase your confidence and pioneering ambitions.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
The past few weeks were destined to increase your outreach on relationship fronts. That these included some complexities that have and probably continue to require you to access hidden reserves of faith, is part of the plot. Placing some of your trust in the important relationships in your life will help.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
A steady flow of changes in your daily routine and overall lifestyle continue. These include a spirit of innovation and invention. Hoping for the best while planning for the worst is ancient wisdom. Your willingness to give more than you might usually is central to the plot.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
Sagittarius time tends to be a fun and playful cycle for you yet can include dramatic episodes as well. This might be especially true regarding your health or that of someone close to you. For various reasons, circumstances are pushing you to be extra diligent in your efforts and to be prudent.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
You are probably happy to be nestled in close to home. Quality time shared with family is featured. Cleaning and beautifying your environment, perhaps in sync with the festive season, might also include deeper repairs and improvement. See a bigger picture to guide your efforts.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Some cycles are busier than others and this is likely one of them. Expect this pace to linger well into January. In the bigger picture, some powerful themes of destiny include contending with significant and major financial realities. Patient perseverance supported by faith will help a lot.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)Deciphering priorities is an important theme and process in life. That ‘what’ we value and ‘why’ changes progressively is central to the plot. While security is ever an important consideration, so too is creative self-actualization. The former protects us physically while the latter feeds our souls.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Last week’s New Moon has invariably coincided with some new beginnings and fresh starts. It will require that you proceed with diligence and faith. Doubt and hesitation now could prove extra costly. Summon the courage to take risks and new initiatives to put it out there.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
A time of inward retreat to connect with your inner voice and soul, or simply to rest and rejuvenate in preparation for a major new cycle, is the call now. You could also be inspired to be industrious and productive, which can prove to be its own source of energy, with the right spirit.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
The principle-driven aspirations of Sagittarius are close to your heart and are very active now. Associating with those whose philosophies align with your own is more likely. Themes of freedom, democracy, and truth hold special appeal and you want to hear every word.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
An ambitious push on public and professional fronts should be keeping you busy now. This trend will continue for several weeks. A diversification of your focus is ideal, as long as you do not spread yourself too thin. Shared thoughts, ideas, and deeper knowledge too will likely be well received.
