Crazy moments of clarity tonight, through phone conversations, text messages, and this, that crossed my path on Facebook. Sometimes I want to smash technology, but some of the things it has given us are worth appreciating. I needed this message in my life today, and as the Solstice approaches, I want to put it here, to come back and read again, as the light that guides the path into the New Year. These horoscopes from
here if you want to check out your own.

The urge to create is essential, the same as the urge to live – Jessica Hagedorn
For all of us this week holds a central theme: a lack of love and intimacy are at the root of many of our personal, political and social ills and until we heal our internal issues in this domain, the external ones will just keep rolling in like
waves to the shore.
Obsessing over what people do or do not do impedes our ability to address the root of our own intimacy issues. Instead of putting all your attention on another, which is all too easy to do with this weeks astrology, focus on what issues others are
bringing up in your life so that healing can occur via your self-awareness. If you’re lonely, be lonely. If you are tired, be tired. If you feel abandoned, feel abandoned. Be a good friend, mate, and
companion to yourself. Follow your feelings until you get to the
original wound and it will most likely start to unravel itself.
Unravelling of feelings is aided greatly by creative self expression. When I look at your chart it’s full to the
brim with pregnant possibilities. There is a very tangible, substantive
practical magic – just how a Capricorn new moon and Winter Solstice
would have it.
So the question is, what are you cooking up?
How are your
art practices perpetuating the process of your healing?
Is it helping
you get to, address and release feelings of rage, despair and doubt?
Are
you allowing yourself to move past pretty?
Are you searching for sanity
by means of remembering your whole story and allowing yourself to exist
outside the lines?
Are you helping yourself through the hoops of
hopelessness through linking up to those who do not fear the real?

You cannot belong to anyone else until you belong to yourself – Pearl Bailey
As Saturn, the planet of Responsibility, Reliability and Restraint, teeters on the brink of your sign, most likely having the weight of the moment not at all lost on you, a host of energies bubble, boil and want you to toil away at your finances and ways of making said income.
Sunday’s new moon and Winter Solstice reinforce these themes and your material life will be very grateful if you use the rest of 2014 to sort out what comes from where and what you can do to make the most of it. This is one of those moments and most likely one of those seasons to be conscious of what and where we do business. Our dollars have more dignity when they go to supporting the places that support us back. What are you buying in to?
This new moon carries extra significance for you because of the fact that it is ruled by Saturn who’s on your doorstep, has rung the bell and is about to storm the house if you don’t let her in. You are in for a three year lecture from me about how to grow up (promise that I’ll switch it up though). You are in for a three year pep talk about working on your boundaries. You are in for a three year rant (albeit poetic) from me about the importance of committing to yourself and all the things that you wish to manifest in this life. Because wishes aren’t enough to birth a thing. Only real, raw contractions can bring a baby forth. Some of this might feel restrictive but I’m going to keep reminding you that it’s par for the course of being birthed.
