The Lunar Forecasts give Daily Horoscopes a greater context.

During this time of year, various religious and spiritual celebrations are taking place. It is a very rich time to learn about the many ways that we all celebrate, honour and participate in life. These celebrations have historically revolved around making a fresh start. Originating in the Northern Hemisphere, these winter holidays and Holy Days usually stem from the Capricorn Solstice, when we reach the maximum time of darkness and shifting to the gradually increasing light. In the Southern Hemisphere it is the beginning of summer, when the light is at its maximum. So many different ways to mark the changes in the world around you and within you! Take advantage of it and expand your mind to see the diversity of human expression that seeks to discover meaning in life!

Wherever you happen to be, the rhythms of light and dark throughout the year are times when you can check in with yourself on the inside. So, where does your life seem to be at its darkest lately? Are you ready to round the curve of change and see the light of hope and illumination slowly start to increase again? It can help to take one more look into the hidden corners of your feelings, thoughts, assumptions and longings, to bring them to awareness where you can decide what you want to do with them. You are like a seed that has been planted, and when the light of awareness and understanding start to filter through again, whatever is planted there with you will germinate and grow.

And where in your life are you reaching a peak? What success has finally started to emerge after hard work? If you look hard enough you will see something, even something small, that shows fruition that has grown out of struggle. And if you see failure or disappointment or discouragement, what can you learn from this? No, it doesn't mean you are a failure or that you don't deserve to celebrate success. It might mean there's a lesson to learn, but just the fact that you've come through a difficult time shows you are a survivor. It's okay to believe in that, and to believe in yourself and your ability to keep learning and doing better.

Happy Holidays! :-)
