Welcome to Erica’s DECEMBER STAR SCOPES.  My StarScopes are an alchemy of astrological signs, tarot insight, and angelic guidance.  As it is December, it a month filled with the light of candles, thoughts of angels and faeries, no matter how you choose to celebrate.  So, this month I have used my Angel Wisdom Tarot paired with Oracle of the Fairies to bring you their joy and guidance.

December’s ruling angel is Anael, the angel of romantic love, great news if you have plans under the mistletoe. Anael has dominion over the air, so you could say: “love is in the air”. And of course, her planet is Venus. And we certainly need the power of Venus around us.

This year has been a tough course in living on planet earth. Alas, perhaps that is what we needed to push us collectively into a more compassionate frame of mind and force us to evaluate what and who really matters.  However, if you have struggled with mental health, with finances or with loss, in this moment I pray for grace to surround you. I and many others have walked there with you. When loss comes in whatever form, the only thing to be done is to grieve, be thankful the time you had together, and vow to make your life as fulfilled as you can in honour of their memory.  Some days, when pain and doubt cripple us fully engaging with life can seem an impossible task. I can only share that in my experience those days have to be acknowledged, be a gentle as you can with yourself and know that other days will be better. Love and hope are both eternal.  This month holds the seed of renewal as we reach the solstice when the sun is reborn. This year the astrological line up suggests will be more powerful than most. Choose life and light and know at your very core that you are here with a purpose. No matter what your station in life, you matter very much indeed.

After the upheaval and uncertainty of 2020, 2021 could be your year. Your sign leads us into this new land of possibilities, and it looks set to begin with a period of quiet reflection and solitude. As the nights draw in light a candle, listen to uplifting or heart healing music and listen to your intuition. The holidays will be over, the year consigned to history.  What did you learn? What do you need to walk away from?  Release all judgements and criticisms.  A wake of regret was never a reliable way to power the boat of the future. You may find yourself overthinking. Take time to go deep into your truth.  Who are you? And the answer does not lie in what you do, it is how you value yourself and what you offer to the world. Delve into study, journal or any other way that will unlock your secret wisdom. You are planning for the great journey of 2021.

Keep an emotional balance this month. Don’t hold on too tightly to how life has been, and don’t feel you have to throw it all out and start completely anew either. You are ready for new beginnings, that’s for sure/. However, issues of trust may come up. It may seem easier to try to return to how things have been, or normal as some people like to call it. There is no normal. There is only now and the possibilities we choose to focus upon. Be prepared to take the road less travelled, or at least adjust how you interact with the world.  Start planning, plant seeds of motivation and intention and wait for Spring to see them sprout.

After all the inertia of this year you may be finding it difficult to focus and get anything organised.  This feels particularly out of alignment in this holiday season where, traditionally, there is so much to do. The message coming through loud and clear is that maybe you don’t have to do the normal preparations, that you could create a completely new way of celebrating the season. Does that shed some light onto the darkness of your fug?  This is particularly true if finances are stretched due to illness or employment issues. Look on the season as a blank canvas and create the feeling of love and joy in whatever way comes to you. 

There is a belief amongst some folks that you can’t have it all. You can have a successful career and financial security, or you can have a fulfilling family life.  Well, phooey.  You can have both. It’s a matter of balance and being flexible and nothing to do with stressing and juggling.  Do you see the difference?  One sees a problem and the other is the way of wisdom.  When you put love at the heart and use courage as your fuel you can find a way out of the maze of normal life and into a brave new world. Fall in love with life. Love your work but don’t be a slave to it.  Love your family and friends. Choose to spend time with those who love you for who you are and not what you do or what you earn.

If there is a social occasion which was cancelled or some other event that you want to reinstate, don’t allow yourself to get all tangled up and frustrated by the current uncertainties. Things are moving and life is realigning. It’s a time to trust that it will be alright in the end, but the timing is not something that can be controlled. The best advice is to be fluid in your expectations and prepare to be flexible.  Sometimes when we let go of what we thought would work the outcome turns out to be even better.

I know everyone says it, but it is true: What you seek and the source of all your good is inside you, not what appears on the outside. This month holds fabulous opportunities for transformation and almost the reincarnation of your life. But that means this have to be pulled apart for reconstruction to start.  It doesn’t have to be too hard.  You just need to get out of the way while it happens.  While the process takes place, it can be difficult to see all the potential through the dust clouds.  Just hold the intention in your heart that the new life you will love is an intention away.

As you head into winter and the power of the solstice you may be feeling restless. It’s be a year when plans have been put on hold, future’s stalled and only uncertainty appears constant. It may seem like life is closed until further notice.  In practical terms this may be true, but in energetic terms it is merely a pause. So much is being rearranged under the surface, but we are unlikely to see the results until spring.  So, hold your faith in life, be patient and optimistic. Keep a clear focus on the potential and all that will arise from humanity’s lesson in life and what really matters.

This has been a hard year to witness.  So many, losing so much. When you have a passionate and caring heart it can then become difficult to allow yourself to receive abundance.  Guilt can leap up to prevent us from believing that we are worthy to receive when so many others seem more deserving. If this is how you have been thinking, embrace the sadness you feel for others and do what you can. However, you will be much more use if you are prosperous and positive. Allow the universe to support you, accept your worth and then open your heart to others.

 Feeling trapped? Well, if you look around, maybe that is not true. Sometimes we can’t see all the possibilities because we’re so set on expecting one outcome that we completely miss the point. And the point is that there is more than one way to get where we desire to be.  So, stop the spinning thoughts and spend time going within to your soul’s wisdom where you can draw on intuition and inspiration. And if this involves finance or other practicalities, stay away from the doom and gloom naysayers.  They have no more idea what is going to happen than anyone else.  They just enjoy the drama of negativity. Do your own research and consider what feels right for you.

Use the power of the moon, and the power of your moon sign.  This is a month to ebb and flow. You may find yourself more sensitive than usual to ideas and strong words. If this happens find refuge in your heart’s wisdom. Perhaps someone you felt was trustworthy or loyal is worrying you, or more likely, ideas and truths you once espoused no longer seem reliable. You’re juggling everything in your mind, weighing it up on your mental scales. That’s exhausting. Instead, go out or connect with friends. Enjoy social events either in person or on line. Uplifting community will raise your spirits and renew your love for life.

The key to this month is doing your research.  Look in books, listen to words, search for clues. Everything will be moving quickly, people pushing for answers, and yet it seems impossible to choose when you don’t have a crystal ball to show you the future. So, here’s what to do.  Make a wish. Send that message out to the universe. Ask to be guided to the exact information which will help you make an informed choice. Don’t make any decisions which don’t feel right just because some is pressuring you for an answer. It’s your life, your show and you will decide how it should look once you’ve done your research.

Sagittarius, you have so got this! The fairies counsel you to wish wisely. There is work to be done, for sure. as you look over the parapet of 2020 into 2021. And it seems you might be a little nervous to take charge of your life and make choices. Well, let’s face it, this year has been enough to make anyone wonder if choices we make will be thrown off course by world events. But, you are the archer of the zodiac, ruled by Jupiter the planet of expansion. Holding back isn’t your style and will make you feel thwarted if you try it. Where is the point of curtailing life when you could be bold and wish for what you want? It’s your birthday month, gaze at the magic in those candles and wish with all your heart as you blow them out. You don’t have to know how it will all happen; you just have to have the confidence to know it could.
