STEADY NOW - The Moon entered Ta**us this morning and Venus rules this Moon-Day. Venus, the Sun, and Mars are in Capricorn ♑️ so they will all trine the Ta**us Moon. A lovely grounded energy for ending the year.

It’s a good time to assess your resources…your body, your home, your pantry…all the things you can see and touch and feel. We are spirits having an earthly experience. However that experience is for you, earth magic plays a part. Tap into the goodness of this over the next couple of days.

The Ta**us Moon will also square Pluto in Aquarius so you feel into the ways of resources and resourcing. The Virgo South Node is touched in a trine by Mars in Capricorn. And also a sextile to the Pisces North Node. There is energy here for follow through and results. If you don’t have the resources you need perhaps the next couple of days would be ideal to figure that out.

The cards offer a seed … the Ace of Pentacles. This card brings an opportunity in the material realm. As you tend to this opportunity good things can grow. This is tangible. With the Moon in Ta**us our bodies are aware. Enlist all of your senses. Be one with what is.

The Two of Pentacles follows the Ace naturally and is given today as the next logical step. The Ace is the seed planting the opportunity and the Two is the sprouting growth in action. This card can be busy but it indicates a prioritization of actions, of busy. Ground. Remain flexible to pivots…life can life after all.

We are coming to a threshold, a passageway, a portal. Steady now. One step. Two step. ✨

TURNING THE CORNER - The Aries Moon is in the Sun’s decan in Aries. She will leave there today and move into the last decan of Aries where Venus rules…here, Chiron is now. Later today the Moon will conjoin Chiron Rx after their square with Jupiter Rx in Cancer…and later on a trine with Mercury in Sagittarius who only yesterday had a trine with Chiron. To me, a day after the first quarter square, we turn a corner but can feel a little clunky.

The cards indicate we are working on something with the Three of Pentacles coming through. We may need some advice from others. The Three of Pentacles comes from the Capricorn decans…love the synastry. Some of us are natural team players, others more solo. This card is for the team, for collaboration. It reminds us of the magic thst can be achieved when we work together.

Temperance speaks to balance, to moderation. But it also speaks to the blending of dualities. It is never just one thing. Often, it is refining, or honing, a fine recipe. Temperance reminds us that there are powerful forces around us…giving us alchemy in our experience. Our lives demand so many things of us. Taking the time to put some of this and some of that together means we have to pause to discover what it is that we need.

What a wonderful time of year to pause. To reflect. To give ourselves gentleness as we turn the corner of the Gregorian year. Our reflections come to light as we move closer to full moon on Saturday. ✨

HOUSE IN ORDER - The Moon slipped from the misty fog of Pisces to the Aries fire starter. Warm yourself, there is much to do. The Aries Moon speaks to Venus, the Sun, and Mars in a square to Capricorn. Cardinal to cardinal. Fire to earth. Yang to yin. Where we are feeling still takes on a quality of movement now. Stores open. Maybe you return to the workplace. Homes are tidied. Yuletide had the benefit of a Pisces Moon. Beautiful. And now we wake from our sweet slumber to get on with getting on.

With the square from the Aries Moon to the Capricorn Sun we enter the first quarter moon phase. Something new wants to come through and yet some control stands in its way. Not necessarily comfortable but necessary.

The Eight of Wands speaks to movement. Motion, action, and change. A little or a lot. With the Eight of Wands a messenger of sorts arrives. Things line up….click, click. You’re out and about. How was your holiday? Oh yes, that’s lovely, you say. It’s nice to pause.

The blasted Tower haha….what have we built? Did we build a tower to keep us from living, to keep us tucked away? Did you build it for a vantage point…better to observe? A place to send a signal like a lighthouse, perhaps. Today, The Tower feels less of a foundational rumble but a shifting passage. From one sense of being to another. Wake slowly.

Mercury in Sagittarius will trine Chiron Rx in Aries this evening…so applying this all day. Here there is honesty and hope. Communicate your needs in this world, the world of today, the world of the present moment. ✨

May there be peace in our hearts
May there be peace in the world

Sending love and good tidings to all of you!

SELF-AWARE - The Moon entered Aqaurius yesterday just before noon. She had a little tete de tete with Pluto via a conjunction and then moved on….quietly moving on through Aquarius. She makes one aspect today, this evening, as she connects with Mercury in Sagittarius. The Moon and Mercury…feelings come up from our body and can come out our mouths. Just sayin 😉

Venus is active this week…engaging in a square with Neptune in Pisces and moving on to Capricorn…on Wednesday. The lead up to this square can feel like our relationships, our self-esteem, the things we value get a bit fuzzy. I find this time of year a little overstimulating…maybe you do too. This can lead to doubt and anxiety.

The cards today are full of doubt and anxiety. Could be your mind is roaring with “shoulds”. The Nine of Swords is particularly stressful. This is a time when you need self-care the most. A shapeless worry is being polished in your mind and can rob you of your rest and your peace. We can banish this beast back to where it came from by being compassionate with ourselves, trying to go slowly, and practicing positive self talk.

The Five of Swords cautions against conflict. It feels like adversity or a disadvantage. You may want to tip the scales in your favour. It is recommended that you take a beat before acting on your thoughts. Take a walk. It is time to honour who you are not a time to push back. Find the support of a loved one to talk it out.

Often it comes down to being self-aware. Noticing what is happening in our bodies in certain situations or circumstances. Those feelings in your body travel up to your mind. Those thoughts can rankle and entangle you. Time to breathe. Time to understand what is truly going on for you, within you. ✨

ARCHITECTURE OF LIFE - The Moon is in Capricorn until around lunchtime. She sends messages to Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus Rx. The Sun entered Capricorn yesterday just after 11am. Mars is already here. Venus by the end of the week. Mercury soon enough.

Capricorn is the architecture of the life we build in the area of our charts/our lives where Capricorn lands. The sacred mountain we all want to climb. It’s personal. Ruled by Saturn, structuring our actions, our values, our communication, and our material resources in such ways as to propel us forward…to the top of the mountain…however that is defined for you.

The King of Pentacles knows the tried and true method of success. They are practical and devoted to it. Their motto…use your resources judiciously as if you were a monarch. You are the king/queen of your own life true enough. This is mastery to support growth, prosperity, and stability. How are you stewarding your life with sustainable choices?

The Fool…and The Fool’s Journey…seeks experiences in the unknown. Step out, step off, step into it. The Fool has a sincere trust in who they are in the present moment. Their longing is for the grand adventure…there is no such thing as impossible to The Fool. Their curiosity brings them many experiences…pleasure and pain, joy, and even sorrow. This is what life is made of. Where can you trust yourself and surrender to the leap?

We build the architecture of our lives by paying attention to our internal and external environments, our perceptions of others and of societal constructs, and by embracing intentionality. We promote resilience by knowing the yes and the no of our existence. The small things, the big things and all the things in between build the structure of your life. ✨

SACRED PAUSE - The precious new moon in Sagittarius has transitioned to the legacy builder’s domicile, Capricorn. The Sun sits in the final degrees of Sagittarius…Venus is nearby. We prepare for our own transition. Mutable Fall to Cardinal Winter. Fire to Earth. Yang to Yin.

Tomorrow the Sun will enter Capricorn where Mars has been for a few days. This is the Winter Solstice. We can celebrate the returning of the light…coming in a minute or two extra each day until in equal distribution with the night at the Spring Equinox.

Still, that is a long ways off it seems. We have the winter months, cardinal, fixed, then mutable. Earth to air to water. Yin to yang to yin once more.
Winters can be tough here, some tougher than others. It takes all your strength and determination to endure some days.

Tonight is Mother’s Night. A time of sacred pause before the call of the light. The darkness reaches its peak. It is a time for reflection, remembrance, and honouring what has carried us through the year. This is deeply ancestral. Wisdom stirs.

The Ten of Wands is the final decan of Sagittarius. What have we carried? What did it take? This is the final effort before the release. Instead of dwelling on the cause, renegotiate your priorities, your obligations.

The Two of Pentacles is the first decan of Capricorn. Here, we balance our priorities, our obligations. We want to be productive and now we will need good time management. All very practical. But with some tweaks to your schedule you make room for family, hearth, and heart.

Find the sacred pause within. Hand to heart. It has been a year. We are stronger than we know. Honour this. ✨

Happening tomorrow come out and get your last-minute Christmas shopping done

TRUST THE PACE OF THINGS - Ohhh weee…and so it begins. We are only a few days out from the big day. Many of us are putting last minute details together. Checking the list, checking it twice. It feels like running down hill.

There is a new moon in Sagittarius tonight. The coming together of the Sun and the Moon in the sign of exploration, adventure, freedom. It will come with some mixed notes though….squares to Neptune & Saturn in Pisces. Maybe moving forward moves a little slower than you anticipated. Maybe the lines are longer, folks more agitated, and shop clerks are looking a little bedraggled. Yeah, it’s that time of year.

I like this new moon even with the fog from Neptune and the obstacle(s) from Saturn. Venus is close by as is Mars. Mercury is not as close but in Sagittarius having cleared their retrograde shadow a couple of days ago. A focus here in Sag.

This is the last lunation of the year. I am inclined to make a wish on this one. 2025 was incredibly hard for a great many. I wish for ease. I wish for peace.

The Knight of Cups is on a love mission. This knight brings love to every place and everyone. Can you imagine that level of devotion? Hard sell sometimes but truly…what if we just lived from that place that was love within us?

The Seven of Pentacles reminds us of the grace and patience it takes to build a life. Sometimes one step forward and two steps back. Are we there yet? This card knows the struggle of waiting. But if we are always waiting, when do we do the living?

New moons are dark in the sky. And these days in the northern hemisphere the days are sooo short. We anticipate the return of the light. As we are anticipating, the days are what they are…dark, for now. The dark is where seeds are planted. Plant a few for the spring. Trust the pace of things. Flow with the rhythm of it all. ✨

LUNAR CYCLE TREASURES - The Moon is in her balsamic or dark phase, moving through Sagittarius and towards a new moon that peaks on Friday evening at 9:43pm Atlantic. During the dark moon phase we take old patterns, old structures and turn them into compost to assist us to seed the next lunar cycle.

This past lunar cycle began in Scorpio (what a trip that new moon was 😱) and will end with this new moon in Sagittarius. And the upcoming lunar cycle will begin in Sagittarius and end with a new moon in Capricorn. Such is the way of the moon 🩵

As a Sagittarius lunar cycle, it will be overseen by Jupiter, its ruler, now retrograde in Cancer. Perhaps we expand our wisdom ir beliefs about our emotions, our heart homes, and our feelings of security. So when you are setting your intentions for this new moon/lunar cycle, reach within to the seat of your intuition. Tune in. Attune to what is there.

The Sun is our solar guide. When the Moon meets with the Sun…the ultimate cazimi…the Moon is renewed. What is no longer needed is burned away. There is clarity. The Sun card asks that we remember who we are. Shine. Cast out doubt. Illuminate your path by using your very own solar power. The Sun brings a message of joy and optimism, inspired action, and glowing vitality.

The Two of Swords has always been about our intuitive nature. In the RWS traditional tarot deck, the maiden sits at the shore on a stone bench with two crossed swords. She is blindfolded. The choice or decision (all the twos in the tarot) falls to her mind. Choices & decisions can be hard. We are reminded of our inner knowing, our intuition. The internal guide. Tuning in. Attuning to. Even if you have not spent much time with this inner voice, you can still let it speak to you now.

There are treasures in any lunar cycle but this particular lunar cycle is the last of 2025. Its culmination in six months at the full moon in Sagittarius during Gemini season 2026 will come soon enough. Where are you setting your sights? What words of wisdom are coming to you from your internal guide? What wisdom can be gleaned from your solar power? Who are you when you are not afraid? Who can you be if you get comfortable with uncertainty?

Treasures, my loves. Treasures. ✨⭐️💫

ABUNDANCE IS A RHYTHM - We wake to the Scorpio Moon completing its tasks. The Sun/Saturn square has peaked but will be felt for a day or so yet. The Scorpio Moon gives way to a void just before noon and after lunchtime moves into Sagittarius. We are nearing the completion of last month’s lunar cycle. Friday evening we welcome a new beginning in Sagittarius…the final lunation of 2025.

A Sagittarius new moon brings in expansion, dreams for the future, focus on beliefs…and freedom. We set intentions and the archer sets their arrow on the distance ahead. We may not know exactly how we will get there but we know we are going all the same.

The Star is a card of hope, faith in ourselves, and the vision of the future. We have a divine sense of guidance. This card typically comes in when we are working through something difficult to let us know that the world is full of miracles. Your job? Keep showing up. Just like the stars in the sky…always shining, with or without the clouds.

The Six of Pentacles brings us giving and receiving in equal measure. Not always at the same time…often we receive a gift and somewhere down the road you give a gift. Abundance comes in many forms but as you give and receive with gratitude, more abundance shows up to greet you. Gratitude elevates both the giver and the receiver.

We strive for balance in reciprocity. We are open for support offered. We provide resources when called upon. It’s a rhythm. A call and response. A vibrational miracle. Keep the faith. Wish upon a star. ✨
