Maybe it’s the Sun in Capricorn, but there is a sense of calm that descends on this day for me. Today, it’s just me, and Andrew and our three dogs and one cat. Both Andrew and I came to the same conclusion that we are foster failures when it comes to our new dog Max. (Yes, you guys called it). He kind of looks like the dog from the Grinch that stole Christmas, and ironically his previous owner named him Max which is the name of that fictional dog. Max is just full of love, that’s all, he is the most lovey dog I’ve ever had. And, this dog, who came from a R&R rescue, is our Christmas gift to each other. I love that Andrew’s on the same page as me, sometimes I’ll decide for both of us, and he’s like “yes, that was absolutely the right call.” We’ve been together for 20 years now, we could have had a child, but biology was kind of against that, so we share my kids from a previous marriage, and that’s ok, I’ve made peace with that a long time ago.
Today, the sun is shining, there is no snow, but it still feels kind of Christmasy. I took a walk in the early morning with the girls (my two older dogs) and enjoyed the Christmas lights decorating the homes around my neighborhood. Andrew’s out walking Max right now, and I’m sitting in a very quiet home, with the odd mew coming from our black cat, Doc, and the hum
of the furnace in the background. I have an illustrated astrology chart commission to do, and I need to get started on the year of the dragon painting. I’m ready to start working again, and I feel it in my bones this is when I will challenge myself more than ever.
I wish you the best this Christmas, may your belly be full, may your loved ones be close, and may you find peace in your hearts, and most of all, may you find Joy.
The Moon continues its passage through, young at heart, Gemini, ending up in a T-square between Mars in Sagittarius, Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius and Neptune in Pisces. Things are going to be foggy tonight, allow yourself to just drift, don’t look for answers. This isn’t a good time to drink too much, because you may find yourself on a strange journey. Misunderstandings occur, and some people will take things personally. The best thing you can do, is just allow for rest, and stay out of any battles, it’s not worth it right now, because strategy is lost under this aspect. This is a great time to watch an action movie or a suspense movie, because Neptune is all about the illusion of the story.
