Tuesday tunes 🎵

Very Pluto in Aquarius vibes, but this artist collective is just too divine not to share. Their sounds and lyrics are just so strong. If you’re looking for a badass group of female artists to start your day, this is where you need to go.

“Time to open up your holographic mind and unwind
To the science of a new time”

Astrology forecast 🌠

Dec 29 | Venus Sagittarius ingress

Venus joins Mars and Mercury in the Sagittarius realm. You might find that you have a newly discovered creative energy at work that pushes you to the next level (or helps others realize your potential.) That’s not to say this transit will be all about work, but assuming all of your communication is in order, and you don’t lose your cool in times of conflict, it could be super beneficial. With Venus and Mercury being present in the same house, ensure you’re not making yourself small for other people's comfort. Say what’s on your mind, but do so tactfully and delicately.

This is totally the time to find new ways to express your creativity, like finding a new hobby or indulging in a special interest you’ve had at the top of your mind. Being a tiny bit secretive in your plans isn’t a bad thing though, it’ll help you refine what’s on your plate before announcing it to everyone and locking you in. Really get honest with yourself, and do something for you - and you alone. Pick something up that helps you get in tune with your inner light. Make sure you’re exploring things without an outside influence, which in today’s society is incredibly tough. You don’t have to keep it a secret forever, but let yourself experiment and play with new ideas before you tell the world (or social media.)

Dec 30 | Jupiter stations direct

Maybe you’ve had a few missed connections, or things have felt a little off in your social circle lately - but that’ll change now that Jupiter is stationing direct. When Jupiter moves backward or goes retrograde, the energy around you can feel restrictive, limiting, and a little stagnant. Jupiter in Taurus is a super yummy transit though, and things should be extra delicious in terms of your communication with siblings, or even your chosen family that’s close by. This is the perfect time to get together with loved ones and express gratitude, or maybe reconnect with friends after a stressful and obligated family-based holiday get-together.

Tune into your roots, find your footing, and welcome in abundance for the new year. The end of the year can be an emotionally tricky one, especially with the pressures that we put on ourselves. Try to seek out the natural abundance that you have in your life, and this doesn’t have to be a material practice. Take stock of the abundant joy your friendships bring you, or how grateful you are for your connection to nature. This is a personal practice, and there’s no right or wrong way to practice gratitude for the energy around you.

Jan 1 | Mercury Stations direct in Sagittarius

And just like that, Mercury switches things up and resumes forward motion. You might notice tension in meetings leaving the workplace, or maybe a little bit of a more positive flow in conversations overall. You’ll still have to stick with a little bit of caution for the entirety of Mercury in Sagittarius though. Naturally, Mercury struggles a bit in this sign - it moves a bit too quickly and has a lot of energy with the tendency to go a little bit overboard.

However, for the duration of this transit, get curious about what you can bring into the new year in terms of how you communicate. What’s something you need to work on? What can you do less or more of? Maybe you want to learn a new language to make your communication more broad. This is the perfect time to instill actionable change that doesn’t require too much physical activity. It’s more about introspection, and getting honest with yourself.

ICYMI 🗞️

Yuletide Blessings

I’ve been going over the 12 days of Yule on my Instagram and Facebook. It’s nothing too deep, but as my first year of celebrating Yule in its entirety, I’m loving the practice. There’s no right or wrong way to celebrate the winter solstice, but if you need some inspiration, I’m here to provide it! More than practicing a “certain way”, I’m leaning into my intuition and seeing what I need most during this time of the year. I’m also letting go of the idea of a “New Year’s resolution” and instead leaning into cultivating small but mighty aspects of change that are more intuitively led and planned for.

What’s in my cup ☕

Sleepy chai tea goodness

I love a good chai, but what I don’t love is the caffeine. If you’ve been around a while, you already know I’m a little caffeine-sensitive. A friend recently gifted me some of this lavender rose chai, and it’s freaking delicious. We enjoyed a nice hot cup of chai after our holiday meal, and it was superb. The ability to enjoy rooibos disguised as chai for a nice warming after-dinner treat was divine!
