Astrology Art and Magic for Dec 29 2024
The Wolves of Winter are calling me, I can hear their night song rise to the stars in the sky.
“Wolves, like children, are not meant to lead calm lives.”
― Katherine Rundell, The Wolf Wilder
As I do a deep dive into Slavic folklore and mythology I seem to be reaping ancestral wisdoms. One of these is the tale of “Wolf Nights” which occur between the Winter Solstice and January 5 or 6th. These are the darkest nights when survival was tough. Winter Solstice honoured the birth of the Sun, and these few days afterwards the Sun was considered vulnerable. During these times, cleansing with water had to happen, for health and happiness.
I love this so much, and I think I’ll allow it to inspire me to paint another wolf painting. I’ll sketch out some ideas today and see what sticks. I’ve always been attracted to wolf magic, I love their power and their mystery. There is a pull to run like a river through the woods at night, following the brilliant moon. In my heart I’m wild, like the wolves, in my spirit, I dare to howl out my power, I dare to sing the song of light.
MAGIC SPELL:
There is this wonderful meditation by the Honest Guys, called “Running with the Wolves.” I recommend it as a great form of astral travel that helps you connect with what is free and powerful within yourself. Mediations help exercise your third eye, help you develop your magical abilities and allow you to step out of your world so that you can tune into the world of spirit.
ASTROLOGY:
CHIRON MOVES DIRECT IN THE SIGN OF ARIES:
This is a great time to work on healing your sense of self-esteem and confidence by trying out new things and challenging yourself to level up. You’ll find it easy to work in healing, even if it means tackling some difficult therapy in order to do it.
MOON IN SAGITTARIUS SEXTILES WITH VENUS IN AQUARIUS
Aim to work on friendships. If you can plan for some social interactions with like minded individuals. Creativity flows easily, especially if you allow yourself to express those feelings. This is a great time to give to the community, do something that will make it a better place to live in.
MOON SQUARES WITH NEPTUNE IN PISCES AND MOVES VOID 6:34PM TO 11:37 PM ET
Emotionally, we may want to hide away from expressing our feelings, it’s good to let everything flow. If you find yourself dysregulating, take the steps needed to reset yourself and awaken to mindfulness.

Astrology Notes:
Chiron in the sign of Aries: Chiron is the wounded healer, this is an asteroid that shows us where our deep wounds are, the ones that will not heal. Challenges need to be met, and when they are processed growth and transformation occurs. In the sign of Aires, we need to look at how we process anger, and defensiveness. We must come to terms with our triggers. We are being asked to work on our self worth and heal the negative voice in our hearts that tells us otherwise. Also, I see this as the physiotherapy aspect, it’s going to hurt but if you work on it, it will get better, and as it gets better, you can guide other people towards healing.
Neptune in Pisces: Neptune is the planet of dreams, psychic experiences, illusion and escapism, it’s at home in the sign of Pisces. It gives us powerful dreams, it allows us to go with the flow of the power of inspiration, it gives us a vision that we can work towards. It also intensifies addictions and other escapisms as well, we might be tempted to disassociate, to run away from our problems, to hide in spirituality rather than facing what is in front of us.
Venus in the sign of Aquarius: Lovers are friends, and friends are lovers. Old boundaries about love are challenged, we need to see our role in society, rather than focusing on insular one on one connection. When it comes to art, we need to be open to challenging the boundaries, to draw outside the lines, to learn something new about our process.
Aspects:
A Sextile is a harmonious aspect. It occurs when two planets are 60 degrees apart. This aspect is not as strong as a trine, but it brings opportunities and inspiration. Usually they occur between air and fire, and earth and air. It can open the door to new insight, talents and solutions.
A square aspect in astrology occurs when two planets are 90 degrees apart. This aspect leads to struggles and conflicts, both external and internal. They are an opportunity for growth, because the comfort zone of stagnation is recovered. The best way to navigate this energy is to see it as a call to action.
Void of course moons:
Void of course moons: the moon is unaspected during this time so it’s best to hold off on doing anything new or anything difficult, wait it out until the Moon has entered the next sign. Allow for introspection, contemplation and self-care.
