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’s 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 for 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 as 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. 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, and you are always loved by your angels and many more.

There’s never been a more perfect time to suspend disbelief and go fairy spotting.  Fairies, unlike nature, don’t hibernate, although they may be found snuggling up in a nest of leaves. Fairies are ace manifesters.  So, if you are hoping to make an idea or desire real, it is time to answer the question:  Do you believe in fairies?  Say:  I do, I do, I do!  If you haven’t seen one before, release any set idea what they may look like. You may, indeed, see a whole body.  Or, you might catching twinkling lights from the corner of your eye. Perhaps, a flash of light. Fairies are very inventive, and sometimes quite shy of humans. It’s not seeing is believing, more believing is seeing, And when you get together with them, be sure to thank them with good deeds for nature.

This a month to look past appearances. T’is the season of parties and gatherings which may bring you into proximity with people outside your usual circle of acquaintance.  Look for the good qualities in those you meet, even if the initial conversations don’t seem promising. Their journey may not be the same as yours. Don’t be swayed into morphing into someone you think is acceptable to the company you are keeping. You can be true to yourself without having to enter challenging conversations. Change the subject, walk away or just smile and ask them some questions about their life.  Everyone loves to be listened to.

The cycles of nature show us that there is a time to live and a time to release. It may be that you find yourself making a choice to release something in your life, or that something will release naturally. Nature reminds us that nothing is ever lost, it simply transforms into another life form. So, if your project doesn’t work out, or you have been trying to attract some other income stream and the flow is drying up, relax in the knowledge that you need to look around for alternatives or amend your plans. Take comfort in the slowing of nature and do the same for yourself. When you cease pushing too hard, you create space for new ideas and energy to come in.

Aries, dream. Pay attention to your dreams. Dare to Dream. Hold your precious dreams close to your heart. Feel their magic and allow them to fly free. Don’t rein them in with earthly expectations. Dreams are new beginnings, and they don’t flow in old pathways. Allow their excitement and potential to fire you up with the joy of life. They are seeds well planted. Water them with faith and weed out any old patterns of disappointment and past failures.  Like a dandelion clock, blow faerie magic into the winds and hope.

The power is yours this month.  Just as sunshine makes us feel good, so human heart light lifts and helps other to shine. You have the “wish card” at the heart of this reading which shows that you have the opportunity to send magical intention out the to the universe.  You also have the power of The Empress giving birth to abundance and dreams. That’s the upside.  On the flip side, be careful not to get caught in overthinking which in its turn brings stress exhaustion into play. If there is something troubling you, take a look at the facts, learn what you need and let it go.

Your buzzword for this month is:  allow. Allow life to play out and don’t try to control events. Friends will be really important during this time. Seek out those who will encourage and support you. And be prepared to offer the same should they need you. You are as important in their lives as they are to you. Shine your light and be their rock. They can be that for you this month.  This could play out in the arena of finances or home and family life. What is important is the feeling of security and joy you receive when you allow yourself to be cared for.

If ever there was a month for manifesting, this is it!  Universal energy, life energy, magic – call it what you will – is flowing through you and its touch is at your fingertips. Don’t be nervous about feeling the fire power. Neither should you permit any feelings of powerlessness or lack to short circuit your potential. Be creative, expect results and be a team player.  In this case, the team is your guides and spirit team who are waiting for you to call on them for help.  Oh, and faeries are ace manifesters, don’t forget to call them, too.

Leo, get your glad rags on and be ready to party.  Or, at least, relish the many celebrations that take place this month. They vary from wisdom tradition to wisdom tradition, but they are all about celebrating the rebirth of light and the next year. Tune into the spiritual meaning as deeply as you can to embrace the fun and frivolity. Make choices from the heart when it comes to deciding which parties to attend and with whom you will celebrate. Be discerning but not judgemental. 

You might need your woollies and hats this month because the advice is to make sure you get out in nature. Watch out for signs from the nature kingdom and the winter faeries. If you are looking for wisdom you may find it on a meditative walk.  If you are struggling with a difficult conversation, the calm of nature will give you fresh focus. This is particularly true where finances or other material matters are concerned. These are most difficult if the impasse involves friends. Focus on what matters most.

The faeries of the festive season suggest that you put a request for a book or books on your wish list. Curling up with a book will be just what you need, and you will find the wisdom or lightbulb moment you seek amongst their words. Use the season of longest darkness to hunker down and make contact with your inner magician. The Empress joins this power with her ability to give birth to new beginnings. Congratulate yourself on all you have achieved so far. Allow this to fill you with strength. Be open to hearing outspoken truths, evaluate all and be prepared to make adjustments to plans. Above all, listen to your intuition.  That word is divided into a useful lesson, “in” and “tuition”!

Scorpio you are a water sign, and your water runs deep.  Connect with the power of the moon this month.  That is the advice from the fae. There’s a super new moon in Sagittarius on the 4^th and a full moon in Gemini on 19^th.  You may feel restless and ready to get on with the new year. And it is a good time for you to place your focus on exciting new initiatives. Just make sure you don’t set out from a place of feeling you are missing out on something. Of course, there is more to life. There always is. But there is a season for everything.

The most important thing you can focus on this month is fun or what brings you to life. Connect to your inner child and allow them to engage with the world for you.  Yes, you will have the usual obligations, the financial demands and the endless juggling of events that tends to come with the season. They are adult stuff. Children never concern themselves with such restraints.  So, spend a couple of hours adulting when you must, and then take yourself out on a play date. And please, stop worrying about it!
