2018: The end is near.

Change. Choice. Faith.

WELCOME TO THE LAST DAYS OF 2018!!!

We finish the year with a new hope for 2019: changes are on the horizon, we will have no choice but to choose, and have faith in ourselves as well as the the outcomes. 

Some bravery will be required.

If you are taking this weekend to make decisions and future plans (also know as resolutions), write them down with as much detail as you can and make them real to your mind as well as your heart. This is the right time to make the very serious changes you have been toying with in 2018.

Get ready for greatness!

If you are unsure, unsteady, or just scared, set it aside. You are more ready than you realize, and more capable than you know. Remember, the worst day for the caterpillar is the very best day for the butterfly.

WELCOME CHRISTMAS!!!!

If you celebrate the Twelve Days of Christmas, they are about to kick-off with a high prevailing energy of welcome and success.

If you are not feeling it, make it so. 

The holidays may be difficult for some of us but we cannot allow it to spoil our fun.  Enjoy the decorations, colors, flavors and fragrances of the season; I know what you’re thinking, “I’m tired of them already – they’ve been out since October!” (and while that may be true) but this is different. This is the time. This THE MOMENT.*

Also, and not to put too fine a point upon it,  these moments are not just about you – they are about everyone. Everyone is selling, serving, delivering, cooking, baking, buying, wrapping, and everything else. Be kind – to yourself and everyone else – by appreciating the effort as well as the intention.

*The Moment can be elusive to us when we are busy; we get distracted, we miss out on the moments, we don’t notice the small things – we let the joy slip away.

12/21-23/18 WEEKEND: Cheers!

Completion. Chaos. Consequences.

Welcome to the Yule/Christmas weekend!

Don’t look now but it’s going to be a rough one, folks!

Here’s the thing about The Chariot: it makes us uncomfortable. Here’s the thing about the holidays: they make us anxious. Put these things together, and we have difficult decisions, mistakes made, lies told, apologies pending.

THE GOOD NEWS: No one is going to die from this discomfort.

THE BAD NEWS: “Not dead” really isn’t the height you are seeking for the holidays.

THE TAKEAWAY: Lighten up!

No matter what happens this weekend, make every effort to take it in stride.

Enjoy the festivities! Happy Holidays!

12/20/18: Moving on.

It’s time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It’s time to move on, it’s time to get going

Our week is wrapping up with the spirit of The Chariot as delivered by Eight of Cups; it really is time to move on. And since I cannot say it better, I present Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers delivering the very best reading of this Eight of Cups:

12/19/18: Act casual, say nothing.

Our midweek message is brief and to the point: KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!

Not only are you best served by keeping your own counsel this week, no one else is really interested in your trials and tribulations – they, too, are VERY busy this week – as they have plenty of their own.

So, keep a stiff upper lip, put your head and should down, and get it done.

GOOD LUCK!!

12/18/18: KNOCK IT OFF!!

STRAIGHTEN UP AND FLY RIGHT!!!

TUESDAY’S TAKEAWAY: KNOCK THAT SHIT OFF!!!

What? You need a bit more? Okay – you got it!

KNOCK THAT SHIT OFF RIGHT NOW!!!

Eight of Swords reminds us we are our own worst enemy – no one can kick our ass as well as we do, torturing ourselves with coulda/shoulda/woulda/oughtn’t’ve in an endless cycle of unknowns.

BIG REVEAL: LIFE IS UNKNOWN AND THAT IS USUALLY THE BEST PART!!!!

So, as we move on into this the penultimate Tuesday of 2018, remind the committee in your head that you are here to live out loud, take risks, and do stuff, NOT sit around in a muddle of fear.

GO OUT THERE AND SHOW ‘EM WHO’S IN CHARGE OF YOUR DESTINY – YOU!!!!!

SWOOP!!! ENTER THE CHARIOT!!!

And our new week opens with GET UP AND GO!

Chances are we are going to need it!

We are headed into the homestretch; Christmas is in a week, the New Year starts in two weeks…who’s ready?

Yeah, me neither.

THE TAKEAWAY: Buckle up, Buttercup! It’s time to ride!

The Chariot arrives and it is time to jump on! What are you gearing up to accomplish?

  • New job?
  • New home?
  • New marriage?
  • New Family?

Whatever it is, whatever matters to you, ready or not, this is the energy to take you where you want to go. 

REMINDER: This is a fluid energy, unlikely to dawdle but not impossible to impede. If you are not ready to take this opportunity to move on, you are not compelled to do so HOWEVER you may regret letting it pass by without you if your qualms are based in insecurities rather than preparedness. Whatever you decide, be sure to commit in full.

BON VOYAGE!

12/14-16/18 WEEKEND: All December weekends are holiday weekends!

((Sun and Moon Tarot, Vanessa Decort))

Stability. Success. Adventure.

WELCOME TO THE WEEKEND!

Yule is in less than a week. Christmas is in ten days.

If you’re not already busy with holiday preparations, this is the weekend to get the lead out!

Holiday errands can be their own adventure; choose festive packaging and ingredients wherever you can (it’s always appropriate!), stop for a festive treat (I really like peppermint mocha!), take a leisurely look at decorations (lots of lights all over the place!), and enjoy each moment. 

Now for DO NOT:

  • Do not get stressed out if/when something does not work out (recipe, gift plan, etc).
  • Do not over-indulge more than you can handle (tipsy is okay  but be mindful).
  • Do not – repeat NOT! – under any circumstances, drive under the influence.
  • Do not skimp on your self-care; you need all the TLC you can get!

Enjoy this holiday weekend, alone or with friends, as merry and bright as you want to make it.

(I’ll be baking cookies and trimming the tree.) 

Love to All! Happy Holidays!
