The Sun enters Capricorn at 10:27 pm EST tonight. Happy solstice! How are you observing the shortest day and longest night? I am aware of how difficult it has been for me to find my own sense of "standing still" this week, this day.
I'm convinced that one of the reasons winter solstice rituals can feel so meaningful, even if you're just taking some time to slow down and reflect this time of year, is what happens in the days just before the solstice. The Sun, giver of life and center of our solar system, makes its annual alignment with the Galactic Center (GC): the core of our Milky Way Galaxy.
The Sagittarius New Moon and Mercury's station retrograde in Capricorn are combining in some powerful (and potentially challenging yet enlightening) ways during an especially intense time of year. Hopefully these horoscopes for your Sun sign and rising sign will help you discover some worthwhile insights as we navigate the next few weeks.
I've been feeling kind of like my life is zooming off without me this week, and I'm running after it. I probably shouldn't be surprised at this, given the current astrology, yet the intensity caught me off guard. Thankfully the questions raised by current astrology also offer a chance to reframe and recenter.
We're about to enter the last month of the calendar year: a bizarre time when the nights are long yet the weeks fly by in a mad rush through the holidays. Against the backdrop of the Sun in Sagittarius, Mercury enters Capricorn (where it will station retrograde mid-month) to get you building on your ideas -- with a little help from its friends.
Current astrology is also adding some extra "flavor" to Thursday's holiday. Even if you're not in the U.S. or do not celebrate Thanksgiving for other reasons, you may find these horoscopes useful.
My experience at an annual art festival in an abandoned space got me thinking about our current astrology. If Mars opposing Uranus is like a startling, incongruous piece of performance art suddenly in view after turning a corner in the darkness, the Scorpio New Moon becomes the opportunity to pause, breathe it in, and allow it to open up your sense of who you can be in relation to it.
Every once in a while my subconscious presents a dream while I am sleeping that is basically a symbolic mini-movie of some facet of current astrology and its relationship to my life. Last night I had one such dream.
