PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY December 23 2024 to December 29 2024 Monday December 23 Elf and Safety Retailers, elves, and large men in red suits might be working like the clappers, but it's the time of year when other workplaces are shutting up, or being staffed with skeleton crews. Yet with so much festive preparation to do, even if certain aspects of our lives are slowing down, the pressure is still intense. Today, as the Sun and hard-working Saturn align, it's by doing less that we'll increase our chance of making headway. Progress won't be straightforward. But focusing on fundamentals brings satisfaction. Tuesday December 24 Happy Christmas Eve! Jupiter (luck and prosperity) making a difficult link with disciplined Saturn isn't an obvious way for the cosmos to bestow us with a Christmas gift. Given Saturn's propensity for slowing things down and challenging our resolve, Santa might need to rope in an extra reindeer; Dasher might decide to go on a 'go slow'! But within life's setbacks hide opportunities to identify issues that hold us back. So, instead of looking gift-reindeers in the mouth, with a positive attitude, we'll find reasons to feel properly festive. Wednesday December 25 It's Christmas! Merry Christmas! Today, with Saturn's influence so strong, we're being encouraged to slow down. 21st century living tends to move at breakneck speed - it's so relentless, we can feel out of control. This is a cosmic invitation to take our foot off the accelerator and gently apply the brakes. As the planet of communication, Mercury, prepares to move opposite lucky Jupiter, it's time to appreciate what's going on (rather than focusing on what we're trying to achieve). If we manage that, we'll find real reasons to feel comfort and joy. Thursday December 26 Boxing Day As Mercury (communication) moves opposite lucky Jupiter, it's 'big ideas' time. It's a chance to explore our self-imposed restrictions and move beyond them. The options appearing now are so surprising that we might surprise ourselves with how far we can mentally move! Then again, we might not be in the least bit surprised! A sense of optimism is growing. The more we trust in a sense of hope, the greater our chance of success. We can strengthen relationships that support us into 2025, and beyond. Friday December 27 Dream Adventure Sometimes, shaking up the status quo feels daunting. But sometimes, we get to a point where our innermost dreams can't be ignored. This is when the best kind of change can happen. It's when we realise that all we need to pursue a dream is permission; and that the only person who can grant it is ourselves. The weekend brings new, exciting developments. They might feel a bit scary. But the Venus/Uranus link promises the support we need to embark on adventures with growing confidence.
