December Reflections

Be prepared to encounter a rather perplexing challenge; to do or not do, is the question. Though circumstances may feel limiting, there is a solution that lies just beyond your normal rationale. You must tap into your emotions if you are to steer a direct course. Forget your fears and listen to your inner warrior because the course of your life is about to take a dramatic detour. The week of the 17th will start off with a bang and end with a fizzle – don’t do anything you might regret later. 

A chance encounter with a mysterious person will shed light on a dark corner of your psyche. This may evoke some deeper emotions that alter the way you’ve been living your life. If you’re in a relationship, reach out and connect in a more intimate way, turn your mind off and let your heart do the talking. This is a glorious time for you to express what you feel and what is true for you. The Solstice on the 21st is a wonderful time to celebrate with those who mean the most.  

You will be gathering the harvest of your past efforts and incredible patience. Your recent challenges are actually god-sent programs for growth; and as the weather changes, so will your direction. You may consider going on a trip at this time to prepare for the bigger journey ahead. Use those gifts from your past to develop a new course of action and be open to what your family has to offer. Christmas day is a great starting point to embark on this next phase; say farewell to the old you and go confidently toward your bright future.

Beware, there are hidden influences coming that threaten to undermine your current circumstances. Yet, before pointing the finger of blame, look beyond others at the reflection of yourself. Your uncertainty reflects more of your secret fears then you realize. Those silly conflicts with others are really about your own limitations. Focus on the potentials that are ironically present in your struggles and you will find both creative solutions for your problems and insights into who you really are. A disagreement near the 3rd may be a ripe opportunity for such awareness.  

With affairs of the heart come choices, the deeper your connection, the harder your choices may seem. In the same way as others act as a mirror, so too does a choice reflect your values. Some of your recent choices are beginning to reveal the cracks in your façade; you’re avoiding issues and upholding pretenses for the sake of security. Pretending that you are happy, compromising your feelings, and dancing around that big elephant will only put off the inevitable. The New Moon will likely expose the truth behind your charades and the purpose for pretending.  

Ready for a ride? This month will surely deliver something unexpected and exciting. You would do well not to grasp for control because the energy behind this is explosive. Something that started last summer will suddenly go in a different direction, and this is guaranteed to change your perspective on things. The weekend of the 14th will deliver a surprise that will shock you, so be prepared to initiate a long-kept plan. Now is your window of opportunity to take that risk, ask for that raise, propose marriage, or take that leap of faith.
