    Sixteen resoulution in four categories was too many. I used a model from Marco’s wife to write out each resolution on a seperate sheet of paper and thenremove a resoultion until only one was left in the hat. That was my resolution walk. The magic is that if I take care of that resolution the other resolutions will take care of themselves. Then I selected one resoultion from each category to get five resolutions total to discuss throught out the year.

  • Leo Horoscope for December 30, 2024


    Sun in Capricorn, Moon in Capricorn, Sun Conjunction Moon, Sun Sextile Saturn

    You may feel devoted to your work responsibilities today. You may find that your work provides you with a solace and sense of security that causes you to invest more effort into your job. Perhaps this feeling is the result of a desire to affirm your sense of self through your work. While being dedicated to work is an important part of life, you may want to think about the deeper reasons behind your dedication. Consider analyzing your personal motivation for working. If you find that you are devoted to your tasks out of a sense of commitment to others and not for your self, today may be a good time to reassess your priorities and include yourself in the equation when committing yourself to projects

  • berkana reversed

    Stagnation, lack of growth, and potential delays

    The reversed position of the Berkana rune signifies stagnation, lack of growth, and potential delays12345. It may indicate a period where progress seems to be halted or moving backwards. This could be due to resistance to change, inability to adapt, or being stuck in old ways13. In matters of love, it suggests hindrance in emotional growth and relationship development4.

  • This week we are guided by the Moon

    A full Moon gazes down at two howling dogs as a crayfish emerges from the water. An ocean can be seen in the background. The Fool’s path is illuminated by the Moon as it steers him away from the water.

    The Moon is a symbol of the subconscious, the unknown, intuition and dreams. You may be wandering aimlessly and need to rediscover your sense of purpose. Intuition will succeed where reason might fail. It is time to make contact with your deepest self, face your fears and explore the unknown. There could be a breakthrough in terms of creativity and intuition.

    Something in your life is not what it seems. Perhaps a misunderstanding on your part, or a truth you cannot admit to yourself. It may also indicate something important being kept from you by another. This may be a source of worry or depression in your life, and it is causing insecurity and delusion. The Moon is a strong indicator that you must rely on your intuition to see through the subterfuge, and signals a time for facing fears.
