On Saturday, December 22 we celebrate Yule and the Winter Solstice. There is a Full Moon in Cancer at on Sunday, December 23. It's a time both for reflection and for celebration as we think about where we've been and look with eager anticipation toward the new Sun and his promise for increasing light and warmth.

Ever since the Sagittarian New Moon on December 9th I have been feeling something building. Messages coming from everywhere are telling me that something big and life changing is about to happen. I had an amazing and extremely informative clairvoyant reading with Jessa, who was recommended to me by my dear friend Slade at Shift Your Spirits. Jenna Avery, in her newsletter The Art of Sensitive Living wrote an insightful and timely article about choosing the three big things that are most important to us in the new year (more on that later). I hadn't had any communication from her in months and suddenly yesterday I receive an email from astrologer Susan Miller that says:

On December 18, Jupiter will make its monumental move into Capricorn, and when it does, Jupiter (gifts and good fortune) will stay in that sign for a little over a year. This is the first time since 1996 that Jupiter has visited Capricorn. This means that you are about to enjoy a shot of new luck in a completely fresh and new area of your life in 2008 - a place you may not have seen much activity in over a decade! (For precisely where Jupiter will visit, check your December forecast for your rising sign and Sun sign.)

There's even more to be excited about! On December 23, we can look forward to the Luckiest Day of the Year when Jupiter and the Sun will meet in conjunction, an annual event that we all always enjoy. Jupiter and the Sun meet at different random dates each year, and in different signs. This year, the Sun and Jupiter will meet in Capricorn. Wow! This is a day you will certainly want to use to advance another of your dearest wishes!

December 23 is ALSO the date of the full moon in Cancer, beautifully aspected, making this year's lucky day even more dramatic, because the full moon will support the Luckiest Day of the Year with lots of good energy.

(Susan has lots more to say for individual signs, so be sure to check out her site, Astrology Zone.)

All of this information has my head spinning. I'm not quite sure how to process it or what to do with it all yet but my intuition is telling me if I can simply immerse myself in this energy and let it take me where it will then everything will change. Everything. And it will be good.

In the days to come I believe that the way will be revealed for me to take my own power into my hands to put everything I need into motion to make this new year full of abundance and happiness. With optimism, enthusiasm, sensitivity, an adventurous spirit, honesty, forthrightness and independence I will nurture faith, love, hope and vision for a new year full of real change. I will be brave enough to face my fears and act in the face of them to honor my true self.

May you find this time to be as inspiring and wondrous as I have. Blessed be.
