Dānañca, peyyavajjañca,
atthacariyā ca yā idha,
samānattatā ca dhammesu,
tattha tattha yathārahaṃ;
ete kho saṅgahā loke
rathassāṇīva yāyato.
Generosity, kind words,
doing a good turn for others,
and treating all people alike:
these bonds of sympathy are to the world
what the linchpin is to the chariot wheel.

At Zero degrees CANCER, this Solstice Full Moon signifies a brand new cycle as well as a culmination as signified by the Full Moon. It is the Alpha and the Omega. O and 22 in the Tarot. Further connections to that too.
Cancer is a Cardinal Water Sign, governed by the Moon. This makes all Cancer Full Moons especially womblike. We unconsciously wish to return to the safety and total nurturing we felt within our mother’s wombs. This makes this a most feminine, pregnant, fertile, emotional, moody, sign of family, home, emotional security, children, nurturing, nourishment, and the unconscious, the womb, our memories and our mother lineages.
Cancer rules the stomach and tummies will be especially sensitive during this Full Moon. Do be careful of what you eat. All your nerves will be…

Change is in the air! Divine Inspiration abounds! Truth be told, the timing for all of this feels to be a bit off, poor timing if you will. Not much chance of creating those changes this week. But, that does not mean you still can’t be inspired. Write those great ideas down and keep them handy for the coming days.
It is more likely that you will feel delays for your changes. There is not much you can do about the holidays and all of the associated distractions. However, this does not mean you should not try, if indeed there is a possibility of trying. Let your passion burn bright now; do not worry, that flame will not go out before you have a chance to get things underway.
See you here tomorrow!

Dhammena saṃharitvāna,

With one’s wealth collected justly,
won through one’s own efforts,
one shares both food and drink
with beings who are in need.

Basically everything of what is included in our concept of history happened during the last 1000 years and almost no knowledge about life before 1400 has survived. A bit more is known about the time between 1400 and 1700. More is known about the time between 1700 and 1800. (Basic info bits and pieces on the Tartaria subject gathered from https://stolenhistory.org/)
Full Moon blessings, everyone! Today is our annual Full Moon in Cancer at 0°. You may remember me saying in November that the North and South Nodes are now in Cancer/Capricorn, respectively, therefore these are the signs where we will see Eclipses occur over the next eighteen months. We do now have an Eclipse season underway, at this Full Moon in Cancer, but this Full Moon is not an Eclipse. Two weeks from now there will be a Partial Solar Eclipse in Capricorn on January 5. Take note, the Moon is at home today. Over the next eighteen months, there will be a few twists and turns, putting you in alignment with a special kind of happiness.
As for our 9 of Cups, it is considered the wish card of the Tarot. Go ahead and make a wish, if you like. Today, though, it is more important to have an…

Capricorn energy. Siberian Charcoal drawing by Napoleon Brousseau
Capricorn energy starts December 21st @ 2:23 pm PST/ 5:23 pm EST/ 10:23 pm GMT as Sun enters Capricorn. The Sun sits directly over the Tropic of Capricorn on this day. This is what Tropical western astrology is all about.
Its Capricorn time/ The Devil #15 in the Tarot is here. Capricorn is Feminine earth. Ruled by the ringed planet Saturn.
The Winter solstice/YULE to Pagans is the shortest day of light in the Northern Hemisphere and the longest day in the Southern Hemisphere where summer begins.
This important cardinal event marks the beginning of one of the 4 seasons a major Gateway in the year. Our ancestors celebrated the death and rebirth of the Light from before the beginning of recorded time.
December 21 is the longest night of 2018 this is the most feminine night. The dark is the…

Plus, they’re delicious. A 1,000-mile journey on your plant-based diet begins with a single step, and, for many, conquering breakfast is that first step. Starting the day with a nutritious and filling meal free of animal products may be enough of a change from something you have been grabbing at the gas station or coffee shop to keep you focused on moving forward to manage lunch, dinner, snacks, and travel. Here are five of my favorite morning meals that are simple to make, delicious, nutritious, and all plant-based. […]

‘Tis the season! This makes twice in one week we have seen a card of celebration. It stands to reason, with so many already on extended holiday, and the many types of get togethers taking place. This goes beyond actual parties. Yesterday was said to be the biggest travel day of the season, giving way to hanging with your tribe today, and in the days to come.
If you are sitting there saying that you have no one with whom to celebrate, you are not alone. However, today, we celebrate the glorious entrance of the Sun into Capricorn at the time of the Winter/Summer Solstice. Who doesn’t celebrate the Solstice? Here in the Northern Hemisphere, this is the shortest day of the year, meaning the least daylight, followed by the longest night. For me, this is one of my favorite days, because I know over the next six months that…

Are you tired of adulting yet? Perhaps building a blanket fort in your family room is sounding more and more like a good idea. Putting a layer of protection between you and the outside world may be just what the doctor ordered. Try not to be totally obvious about it; perhaps you could claim to be doing it for the children.
Today’s 4 of Pentacles can actually manifest itself in many ways, some of which may include not spending your money all too frivolously during this holiday season. Venus retrograde is totally done, but you do still have a few days left before Mercury leaves shadow. Those new tech purchases may be better left for the post-holiday sales.
The chances of encountering an Ebenezer Scrooge type in your midst is entirely possible; let us hope this is not you. The 4 of Pentacles is a miserly card, and grinch-like people…

Apple cider vinegar is believed to have been found around 5000 BC when unattended grape juice converted into wine and then vinegar.

Dece. 19 The major aspect of the day is the Sagittarius Sun on the Galactic Center at 27 degrees squaring Chiron the Wounded healer at 27 degrees PISCES.
“Your wounds are your truth”-Tara Greene
Sagittarius Sun on Galactic center squares Chiron in Pisces Dec. 19, 2018
This hard aspect will make us feel very vulnerable, wounded. This is not just our own vulnerability but a Cosmic vulnerability. I know, I’ve been feeling it for the last couple of days.
Chiron is the Constellation of Sagittarius as well making this aspect even more powerful. The Centaur squared by the Sun in His Sign amps up the energies especially with Jupiter in this sign which it rules too.
But there is great hope and even humor as we can laugh at our long journey to wholeness as the Sagittarius Sun aims for higher truths, optimism, faith and the intrinsic spiritual knowing that…
