Current Sky messages

We’re heading for the December solstice, the peak of winter in the Northern hemisphere, and Summer in the south. Oh, and mayhem, Christmas, and the wind down of years end.

Fever pitch

On the 13th December excitement levels are raised to fever pitch in the lead up to Christmas. As the temperature rises, logic leaves out the back door. Enjoy the frivolity, but do be conscious of impulsive actions! 

These fiery passions could lead you to a grand, brave adventure. 


They could also firebomb a hole in your bank account as you ride the joy and generous wave, or erupt in parking lot tempers.


Have compassion for yourself and others through the searing highs and lows. Try not let that little voice in your head get pious and judgy. Everyone’s had a hard year, so overdoing it is perhaps not surprising, and maybe even welcomed. C'est la vie! (that’s life, we’re all human). 


(Mars joins sun in Sagittarius; Mercury moves to Capricorn).

Full moon

Full moon

It’s a goodie (finally!).  The Gemini full moon on 18 / 19th December has some fabulous features, so re-charge your crystals, be a social butterfly, do something fun! 


Get in touch with friends, write, make a video, explore, and talk, talk, talk!   You'll be pleasantly surprised at where inspiration strikes! 


(Gemini Full moon, Sun in Sagittarius, Sun sextile Jupiter; Mercury trine Uranus).


Venus retrograde

Relationships spotlight

In December we get our first look at the theme for relationships, social connections, and what fulfils us over the next 2/3 months.  


You may face what feels like “do or die decisions” that will transform you over this time.  


They’re really just highlighting what you need to change to be true to yourself.


You may need to ease back from people pleasing, and set some boundaries that allow you to do what you enjoy. This goes against society’s do it all, all the time, but that’s ok. By being true to yourself, you grow richer and more sustainable connections in the world that support your goals. 


This same pattern last occurred in December 2013 to January 2014. Do you remember what heart re-alignments you made then? A similar theme may play out now.


Look out for clues on what you need to revisit, review, and re-align on 12th and 26th December. These are peak “in your face” days, though these vibes will be around until the end of January. 


Don’t be unnerved if everyone is a little withdrawn and introspective, we’re all inwardly contemplating these themes.


(Venus retrogrades, and conjuncts Pluto).

Nature's Soul Guide

Back to Astro Basics

As mentioned previously, this month is about back to Astro basics.


If you want to know what Astrology is, what a Sun sign is, and what it can do for you, Go here

If you want to skip ahead to the good stuff, continue :-).


Sun signs and souls

Sun sign

Your soul chose to express itself in certain way - that choice is symbolised in your sun sign.  


Your sun sign is therefore a clue to your soul contract.  


This solar light highlights what kinds of actions and interests will help you grow and evolve to your glowiest self.


If you look up your sun sign, you’ll find key character descriptions. What is not always made clear, is that each of those characteristics is on a spectrum. It runs from the brightest and bestest expression of the thing, to the grungiest shadow side.


For example, you need absolute faith and bravery to run into a battlefield (be that kiddie Scrabble, the Olympics or a mine field). That same passion can overflow when you’re made to sit still in a classroom, leading to disruptive behaviour and mislabeled naughtiness. If you’re in a 2x2 cubicle, it could also manifest as utter frustration at work.


The fire can burn bright and lead the way, or it overflow in mishaps and emotive explosions.

Sun sign

For your super powers that help you be you – focus on the bright side of the spectrum.  These are the strengths that support you in life, like that bravery.


For your soul’s evolution – focus on the shadow side of the spectrum.  These are the characteristics you can heal, helping you grow toward your shining highest self.   For example, mastering impatience.  


That growth, on both ends of the spectrum, helps your soul evolve.

Sun signs & natural elements

Nature is composed of 4 elements, Fire, Earth, Air, and Water (in the classical Greek model).

These 4 elements are assigned to the 12 Sun signs.


Your sun sign represents your core identity.  Your sun sign element shows HOW you express it to fulfil your highest potential. It represents your natural, instinctive ways of approaching life. 


Here's the cheat sheet
elements

Find your sun sign in this list, and remember the key word.

FIRE – ACTION

EARTH – STABILITY

AIR – MIND

WATER- EMOTIONS


When you are lost, use that key word to guide you back to your core self.  For example:

  • FIRE signs - take some action, do something.
  • EARTH signs - support your need for stability
  • AIR signs - expand your intellect for inspiration
  • WATER signs - tune into your emotions for insight


My Sun sign element is air. I was recently reminded just how inspiring I find books, and have blitzed through a few in the last few weeks!


It took me a while to remember how much I enjoyed reading.  My 'right direction' appears when I am inspired, and I find that through reading (anything and everything, weird and wonderful, short, long, ancient and new). By being true to me, I hope to add more light to the world. In whatever way that ends up happening. 


Hope that helps you find your inspiration and shine brighter too!

Have a fire-a-liscious bright week!
