There Is Still a Light That Shines
This post is not for everyone; it’s for those who have been having a hard time this holiday, or who struggle with this season in general.
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be…
This post is not for everyone; it’s for those who have been having a hard time this holiday, or who struggle with this season in general.
The astrological aspects are more than tough this week, a week filled with pressure to “have a good time,” smile, laugh, and be joyful. Yet, what if you’re not feeling so merry?
Today, Venus-Inanna in her retrograde is exactly conjunct Pluto-Hades in Capricorn, a three-month process of descent into deep shadow terrain. The intensity is on, especially when it comes to confronting our values – whether that be material, traditional, spiritual, or emotional. We won’t be let off the hook; discussions may occur internally or with others involving what we expect (always a tricky trap), desire, want, need. A useful question to ask ourselves right now? “How important is it?” How important is it, really?
In addition, we are in the final pass of the 2021 Saturn-Uranus square, a tough face-off in the fixed signs of Aquarius and Taurus, respectively. Saturn is clinging to the old, the familiar, the approved-of; Uranus is ready to get the show on the road into our next iteration, our evolving timeline, our freedom. There are restrictions and there are tugs – nay, massive clamorings – to get it all over with and move on.
And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see

These are the conditions we find ourselves in today, celebrated as Christmas in many homes around the world. These are the energetic forces reverberating on the planet while we simultaneously feel pressured or hope to have a merry time, a relaxing time, a united time.
Therefore, I wanted to send out this message to those that need it today: You are not alone. If you’re having a tough time, remember: This too shall pass. Cry some tears and feel angel wings brushing upon your cheeks, reminding you, we will get through this.
And, if you’re one of the lucky ones riding high, or simply feeling serene, content, joyful - take a little extra moment to give space to those who are having a hard time. Be understanding, patient. Practice gratitude. Send out some prayers for those struggling. Light an extra candle for those in need, and for those in the crunch of our Earth’s existential crisis. Your high vibrations and illuminated consciousness are absolutely needed today. We thank you.
Blessings, peace, and comfort to you and yours, today and always.
