The darkness makes the light brighter.
Astrology, Art and Magic December 5 2024
Happy Krampus day. It’s actually St Nicolas day, the day when children in Czechia are visited by St Nicolas, an Angel and a devil. As a kid, I always thought that tradition was fun. It was an extra gift day before Christmas. St Nicolas is the patron saint of children, sailors, merchants, archers and repentant thieves, pawnbrokers , students unmarried people the sick and the afflicted. It’s not surprising that he is followed by a devil and an angel.
I like to think of the angel and the devil being my higher self and my shadow. Everyone is capable of choosing either evil or good, and most of the time stuff falls into a grey area. Every choice has repercussions.
We’ve had quite the snow storm over the past few days about 40 cm in total if I’m counting from last weekend till now. I’ve been out shovelling snow from our back deck, only to watch it refill in a few hours.
I have a lot to be grateful for, the pets are sleeping around me, I have art that I want to make, my beloved husband is alive to keep me company and my back sunroom has turned into a wonderful walk in fridge.
I made a music list called “Yule be happy you played this” on Spotify. I love this season because of the snow and the light. The darkness makes the light brighter.
Astrology:
Sun conjunct Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius (Cazimi) 9:18 pm ET
This evening plan to research something intellectually challenging. You might stumble upon an important insight. This is especially true if you’ve tried to wrap your head around a difficult concept and still didn’t get it. This second visit will light up the lightbulb in your head, and all the pieces of the puzzle will fit together.
A Cazimi: Cazimi means “in the heart of the sun” and this is the conjunction between a planet and the sun on the astrology wheel. The sun intensifies the energy of the planet, so it’s affects are brighter and more intense.
Moon in Aquarius opposes Mars in Leo:
When we fly our freak flag we may feel vulnerable if people don’t accept us for who we are. The challenge is to find the courage to be ourselves, despite what other people think, but also to be aware of the rules and regulations of the society that we live in, and try not to take it personally if someone is offended by our true nature. Look into the philosophy of detachment, that will help you navigate this day if you’re feeling out of sorts. Acts of kindness and generosity will also help you, especially if they are done with a pure heart and there is no expectations behind your actions.
Moon in Aquarius: The Moon guides our intuition, our feelings, the tides, our deepest needs, our subconscious habits and our reactivity to situations. Moon in Aquarius: Makes us want to colour outside the lines. We are in the mood to be our authentic selves. This is a great time to socialize with brilliant people. It’s also a good time to give to the community around you. We can detach ourselves emotionally and be less reactive. We can work to make the world a better place.
Mars in Leo: We are driven to be the center of the show. We have confidence, we have charm and charisma, we are not afraid of taking a chance. We have our hearts on our sleeves, and we expect loyalty and love in return to the kindness and generosity that we show to others around us.
Oppositions: Opposition aspect: When two planets are opposing each other at 160 degrees. This aspect creates polarity, awareness, and tension.
Magic spell: Put a small bowl with change and a magnet close to your front door to attract abundance to your home.
I appreciate the music share.
