There is a level of intensity that permeates this month’s reading. In all honesty, it is a bit disconcerting. Yes, I know that December 2-22 there is a Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius, making the Holiday Season a bit more scrambled than you might like. It is going to feel like the you are the “Clean Up Batter”. You know the one who comes in when the bases are loaded and you are expected to hit the home run. No pressure at all in such a situation! NOT! Expect the continuation of the high energy, noise, and passionate responses that have become the norm. It will seem as if situations are locking into difficult places and that will bring with it a sense of frustration, impatience, and a fracturing of the energy making you feel sort of off base and somewhat out of touch. Mishaps, malfunctions, and delays are going to get in the way of all things that need to get done. Take a breath and know that nothing is going to go according to plan. So, you might as well relax.

Saturn is going to go into Capricorn on December 21 for two and a half years and that is going to add to the pressure that cannot help but build up on the holiday season. Saturn is a planet that wants to build and Capricorn is the darkest sign in the zodiac. Let’s just say, it is difficult to build in the dark. Especially when Neptune keeps dissolving away all the structure that Saturn keeps attempting to build. Governments and people have to be restructured. This aspect will make you grow up and take responsible for the choices and decisions you have made. No one will save you and you will have to find your own strength and connections to others that support you in the evolution of who you came to be. Saturn rewards those that work hard. Laziness and avoidance strategies tend to blow up and it breaks down in a harsh and clear way that which is not real.

That is what the cards are reflecting. A break down in the old order and structures. Pipe dreams completely shatter and the intensity of that shift will force each of us to find our own center of truth regardless of the chaos and mayhem that is happening in the external world.

This may make you appreciate your family and those that love you even more and that is a pattern that I believe is greatly needed at this time. It is a moment when you have to let go of what you believed was true and the story you made up about that person or situation. Stories are rarely real and life situations are becoming more difficult so the little stuff no longer holds any sway over the immense energy that is being asked to shift inside your body and outside in the world.

See the polarity and let your life roll in the mess and breakdown that has to happen for new growth to emerge. There is a harmony in breakdown. There is a place where the Divine needs to intervene because the mind’s creation has been so destructive. Change sometimes happens in ways that are not always pleasant. But they are necessary to get your attention and to learn to appreciate what you have been given up to this point.

Find your center, ground into the reality and look to a higher perspective and meaning. Your ability to nurture others can only happen when you have learned to connect and love all that you are, mistakes and all.
