Horoscope for the Week beginning Dec. 21
Tip of the Week
Happy Solstice, the most celebrated one ever! A new round of the 5,125 year Long Count Calendar begins, and this is the first of five… Is it any wonder why the Classical Mayan astronomer/astrologers priests, the venerated ‘Keepers of Time’ considered this the ‘most significant event in human history’? That this ‘Great Cycle’ begins and ends with Winter Solstice is due to the deep respect given to the cycle of the Sun. Though it plays the role of the ‘seconds hand on the clock’, its quality far outweighs its quantity as a measurement of time. Hardly a mere object in the sky, the Sun may best be understood as the nucleus, the brain center, of the ‘galactic cell’ of the solar system. With the Helio Pause and Bow Shock literally forming the skin membrane of the solar system, this is more than a metaphor. From this perspective, we actually live in the expanded body of the sun! This holistic perception of reality reveals wholes within ever greater wholes. From cells to bodies to families, communities, regions, towns, cities, provinces states, countries, continents, planets, solar systems, galaxies, and the universe itself, each level is whole within ever greater wholes. This holistic world view reveals a self-evident order and intelligent design woven into the very fabric of existence. In this regard, we recognize ourselves, humanity, our planet and all the species upon it to be significant ‘parts of’ life. This re-wakened realization frees us from the purely linear, materialistic model that sees us as ‘apart from’ life, and therefore separate and vulnerable. The deepest reaches of science have worked hard to prove the timeless postulations of mystics – that division and separation are ultimately illusions of empirical perception. Rejoice, a great new cycle has begun and a new yet ancient world view is born anew. What a wonderful Gift. P.S. Merry Christmas!
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
The time has come for the rock to roll. Okay, bad pun but it serves to illustrate the verb in your vibe. Change is upon you whether you would have it or not! The good news is that, as said you are on a roll. It is time to graduate, to advance to the next level. There is no turning back. Get excited, get creative and get going!
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
Some cycles are bigger, deeper, more intense and or involved and passionate than others, like the current one. A steady deepening of commitments with a long-term focus on the future is featured. Yet rather than feel contracted, you feel expansive, exuberant and willing. Yes, the work load is heavier than it used to be but you are okay with that. Go figure!
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
While the focus remains on health and strengthening your overall constitution and/or fortifying your base continues, you want to get out, to play. Meeting new people is in the mix. Experiencing the unexpected with people has been a standing theme for a while and you are ready for a change that way. Expect to take new leads this week.
Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)
Oh to be free of fear and worry. It sounds easy, so why isn’t it? Too much thinking is the classic issue. Some would say excess lower mind, that of the ego. Worry can be interpreted as caring, but it actually does not help much, if at all. Practicing being present in the moment with ‘what is’, is the classic solution. Genuine gratitude for life helps and meditation is the real deal.
Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)
Your world is opening up in new and exciting ways. With the crack in the door and the light coming in you are wise to do what it takes to swing it wide open. Laying claim to latent gifts and talents meanwhile, is stirring at deeper levels. These require vision and courage. If you are having trouble seeing this light, seek counsel and do it now!
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
A dynamic learning curve continues and the lessons are coming from all angles, some unexpected. The time is right to flirt with new possibilities. The tried and true, at least in some areas, is beginning to lie. Since two wrongs don’t equal right, your best option is to redirect your focus towards more truthful, stable and reliable sources.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
It is said that the karmic lords never sleep and they never forget. Life knows who we are, what is owed to us and what we owe. Graceful acceptance of the dues and penalties as well as the rewards is a sign of true wisdom. Reaction, blame and self-pity only serve to deepen the suffering. Fortunately, the light of a new day is steadily growing.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
A pioneering mood is lingering. You have been seeking new answers, insights and leads. Now you may have to contend with deciphering which ones are the best. The likely answer is: those that stand to reach furthest into the future. The best choices usually involve a tight weave between health and a genuine sense of service, which is truly a privilege to render.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
You are in the mood to enter new territory. Yet, you may feel both called within and without. To reconcile this conflict consider the famous lyrics, ‘you gotta get in to get out’. Listening to your inner voice and heeding its urgings is the ageless wisdom. Be extra careful of excessive logic now. To trust your feelings, acknowledge them and feel your silent truth.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
The returns for many of your past efforts are rolling in now. Hopefully they are the kind you want. You may feel the need for some time out to manage the flow effectively. Be deliberate and concise with your communications, unless the exchange is deep, sincere and valuable. Your ability to make fine distinctions now is at a peak, make the most of it.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
You are in the mood to cut loose, get away, break free. A creative diversion might help. Yet, you may feel duty bound and restricted. How can you take good care of yourself in this stressful cycle? Patience is one way. The coming New Moon cycle will bring some needed relief. That is in one week. Accept this time as one of building character.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Getting the attention you feel you want and deserve is a current focus. A learning curve is implied. Perhaps you need to increase your social media skills or learn how to ask for a raise. Either way, it is important that you be proactive and give to the situation. Your confidence levels should be rising steadily these days so ride that wave!
