Gemini Full Moon + Solstice + Venus Conjunct Pluto + Lots of other Stuff
The universe has decided to punctuate
the end of the year
with a row of friggin exclamation points!
I’ve gotten a ton of emails and texts asking
about the stars over the past week. People are like,
what.the.hell.is.going.on?
Without going into boring details, let’s
just say a lot.
This past week has been quite a doozy.
The stars say, it is likely that some kind
of cancellation
or major disappointment
has happened in the last
week or so.
Some kind of ouch!
Something has happened
that is frustrating
and unexpected
and forced you to change plans.
Some of us are feeling
frazzled
and
exhausted.
Out of sorts.
With the BIG full moon energy waning,
it is likely you will start to feel a
bit more like yourself in the coming days.
As the Northern Hemisphere heads into Winter Solstice,
this is a specially charged three day window,
where we are given a
chance
to resource
and reset.
The sun is at it's lowest in the It is a nice time to light candles,
take a long bath with rosemary sprigs,
bring nature in with evergreens or head out for a nature hike.
During the next three days,
change the focus
to your own
physical
and emotional
health needs.
Invest more time in reinforcing and fueling your own
triangle of health.
In the triangle of health,
each side
represents a set of needs:
our spiritual needs,
our physical needs,
and emotional needs.
The triangle is
equilateral,
each side
is equal
and equally important
to the other.
Giving your triangle of health
some attention right now is vital.
Does your triangle of health
feel balanced
and
reinforced?
What might be needed to re-stabilize it?
Venus conjunct Pluto twice in two weeks due to a retrograde.
A conjunction occurs when two planets are at the same degree in the sky.
Venus is going through a deep renovation.
She wants you to discover what and who creates stability and
where do you feel in command?
Venus in Capricorn is about requirements.
What do you require to be in relationship?
As she retrogrades, she will likely run over terrain
you’ve seen before.
Been there, done that kind of bs.
People, scenarios, situations, old lovers
may reappear in your life
for you to practice
your new values
with.
It is a great time to re-evaluate
your relationships and put up new boundaries.
Venus is also about pleasure and comfort,
but when theye moves retrograde,
those things can be harder to find.
For some of us, this coincides with the holidays, which
can be awkward and difficult to begin with.
Try to stay out of old habits.
Remind yourself,
there are things you
know about yourself
now
that you didn’t
know about yourself two years ago.
The universe is giving you chances
this week
to remember this.
There is also a lot of wonderful Jupiter energy pouring in right now.
It is visionary,
and wants to see how the pieces come together
and how to make it whole.
Forward thinking energy
with a focus on the long term.
Can you maintain a
higher perspective into what is unfolding?
It is not an easy end
to a fairly unstable year.
Try to stay centered in your practices,
keep your head above the frey,
and maintain attention on your triangle of health.
Here are a few ways to add a little magic and fun to the Winter Solstice.
🫖 Fix Yourself A Hotty Health Tonic - oh yes, my dears. And it has brandy. Ever heard of “Here we go a-caroling” welp, it was originally called Wassailing and is actually based on this cider traditional drink that was drunk while singing health blessings to your neighbors.
