\u201cTo grow up costs the earth, the earth. It means you take responsibility for the time you take up, for the space you occupy. It\u2019s serious business. And you find out what it costs us to love and to lose, to dare and to fail.\u201d \u2014Maya Angelou<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Blind spots are baited with the sweet perfume of distraction\u2019s nectar through the last bustling month of the year. December<\/strong> finds the mind dwelling elsewhere from the heart, wandering distant miles from our guts. Confusion tempts us into tangles as a bid for self-medicating through discomfort. The deeper you\u2019re drawn into the dense forest of unconsciousness, the more disconnected your movements become, like Sagittarius\u2019 arrow gone wobbly from its target trajectory. (Everyone knows that the point is never the point with Saggitarian arrows.) Still, if you\u2019re not careful, December<\/strong>\u2019s unconscious tendencies and behaviors might accidentally smash your New Year\u2019s toast into bits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Staying on track this month requires responsibility, which in turn, is born from conscious maturity. Some things in life are beyond our control, and a level of equal discord is expected as December<\/strong> careens into January<\/strong>. The best outcome of unintended unraveling is being given the chance to re-make it however you want it, whatever \u201cit\u201d is. Getting through with certain intention is growing up, isn\u2019t it? Unholy calamity veils your higher self\u2019s genius grandmastering the chessboard of your life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Like ore or oil, dense riches of truth are found in the veins beneath the deepest layers of experience this month with Venus traversing Scorpio from December 4<\/strong> onward. But all that glitters is not gold, and the loose optimism of December 12<\/strong>\u2019s Sagittarius new moon risks a Pollyannaish naivete. Mercury turns retrograde on December 13<\/strong>, jamming up our best-laid plans and fumbling our most nimble communiques until January 1. A Cancer full moon on December 26<\/strong> watercolors the holidays with a swelling need for emotional security, especially within our families, homes, and closest circles.<\/span><\/p>\n
