Happy new year, I hope that you and yours were able to experience a most peaceful holiday season. As for me, I took the time I needed to make peace with 2018.

Venus in Sagittarius. To help us get back to what matters again, Venus will change signs, exiting from secretive Scorpio on Monday January 7, to adventure in high-spirited Sagittarius. These fiery vibrations can entice us to spice up our wardrobe, put on our dancing shoes and break free from holding ourselves back from the gifts life has to offer. We give ourselves permission to seek out freedom in the wide open fields - where we can playfully follow our dreams and chase after joy.

Areas that surround our values, relationships, love interests and money could be up for gamble during the next four weeks, if we're not considering what's at risk. The unfamiliar path will appear much more exciting and expansive over the next four weeks, unlike our current, monotonous routine. With Mars (energy) in brave Aries (as of December 31), we're likely to be fearless and daring in satisfying our deepest desires.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin

Mercury in Capricorn. With Mercury continuing to transit entrepreneurial Capricorn (as of Friday January 4), we can utilize this business-minded mentality to visualize what we're hoping to build over the next two and a half weeks. In our  attempt to seriously figure out what is strong and stable, the transformational energy from the Capricorn New Moon/Solar Eclipse (on Saturday January 4) awakened us to some sense of sudden crisis, unforeseen change or unpredicted ending. This energy shift could have caused us to experience a breakdown, break-up, or maybe a breakthrough. Old doors are closing, in order for new doors to open... and this vibration can linger for up to three to six months; displaying what needs to be released, so that we may evolve and shine once again.

'God and I in space alone . . . and nobody else in view . . . "And where are all the people, Oh Lord" I said, "the earth below and the sky overhead and the dead that I once knew?" "That was a dream," God smiled and said: "The dream that seemed to be true; there were no people living or dead; there was no earth, and no sky overhead, there was only myself in you." "Why do I feel no fear?" I asked, "meeting you here in this way? For I have sinned, I know full well and is there heaven and is there hell, and is this Judgement Day?" "Nay, those were but dreams" the Great God said, "dreams that have ceased to be. There are no such things as fear and sin; there is no you . . . you never have been. There is nothing at all but me.' Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Conversation

Uranus Stations Direct. When we happen to brush up against difficulties, pain and unexpected changes, we tend to become alert and present once again. This process can become much more disruptive, rebellious and incredibly freeing as Uranus 'The Awakener' stationed direct on Sunday January 6. Exiting from our safe and protective cocoon is never easy... but this new level of truth will help us to spread our wings and discover our authentic self. Are you ready to return to where you last left off back in August, to flaunt your true colors?
