Mental and emotional disruptions seem to be the norm this holiday season. The Moon is square Pluto and in opposition to Uranus just after midnight, which is almost certain to continue pushing one’s doubts and concerns front and center.the lyrics to the song “Is That All There Is?” certainly come to mind as we move towards sunrise. In the evening, the Moon is sextile Jupiter retrograde, which only increases our need to sift through past events and to scramble for ways to alleviate what seem to be impossible relationships. Sorry, no tidings of comfort and joy are coming to us today.All we can do is push on through, this will pass. Do use one’s magicks to fan the glimmers of calm and contentment as you find them.
