Sebastopol, CA. ~ As we scurry about to fi nd last minute gifts for our loved ones and feel optimistic about the future, we begin the early part of


this


month in the most optimistic sign of the zodi- ac, Sagit-


tarius, also one of the most intense fi re signs for good positive energy, for the most part. But an abundance of riches pouring down from the heavens can also make it diffi cult to stay afl oat. Since it is gen- erally wise for Sagitarians to be a mirror and re- fl ect back to the viewer the potent energy we all carry, and only advise when


you are asked a question or inquiry, otherwise you might acquire a trans- fer of their embodiment and/or some of their karma.


Now early Capricorn comes rid- ing into some parts of our country with sleigh bells and presents galore. Being one of the most stoic signs and committed for many a supreme work ethic. Capricorns rarely rest until their goals are completed and/ or can at the drop of a hat disappear


and re-group when victory becomes elusive. But with a second glass of really good, fresh, got-to-be-organic eggnog, they are back in the hunt. Having allies with Capricorn energies, they will seek to al- ways cover your back but think about the double fl eece lined jacket in the sum- mer months....refus- ing their offers might make it diffi cult for you to refuse, since they have such an insistent way about their being/nature. And with the upcoming holidays, the straight arrow archer, Sagatar- ian, should stock up on more refreshments and squirrel away canapes and hors d’oeuvres and ready the celebration, if not only the holidays celebration. But you Sagitarians are both fl exible and direct since of all the signs you can safely say that you personally are glad you were born, even if no one says that to you. And one further note....Capricorn is a cardinal earth sign that needs a little water to make things blossom. So when you sense the nimble goat needs to be ground- ed, risk saying a pleasantry or doing a lovely action and really see them blossom.


Many of us have processed to some degree the transformational experi- ences of the past two months in the

wake of the fi res in our community. As we enter the months of celebra- tion and continue to give thanks that we are still here, the material loss was-is great and the re- building and replacing is already in progress. It sometimes takes an event such as this to bring us even closer to family and extended family. May each one of us continue to be


blessed, prosper and look forward to a happy and joyous New Year. With all that has transpired in not only our community, but around the world, you maybe now could be questioning your role in this incarna- tion. This maybe is a great time to gift yourself in an astrological read- ing and learn about things that a re- ally gifted star therapist can provide. A really important point in choosing a person is to either speak to them di- rectly and/or their representative and feel their vibrations in the fi rst two minutes. If it feels right then you can have a heart felt connection as they may very well take you to places you have only dreamed about.

Holidays are the best, brighten- ing up the darkness of winter, gift giving for cheer, good food, good friends and dearest family. This lovely planet is such an amazingly beautiful place, white fog oozing between hilltops, resting in the val- leys, takes my breath away. Earth is such a jewel in our galaxy in a tiny, tinier than tiny slice of the universe. Cherish the holiday cel- ebrations, be mindful, thankful and SMILE. Joy to the world!
