The moon is in Virgo today. Unlike in recent days, the energy is emotionally intense and draining because of the opposition between the moon and Neptune in Pisces. It’s okay to get lost in a daydream as long as you don’t forget about all the things you need to accomplish throughout the day. Escaping reality is totally fine, just don’t lose your footing here on planet Earth. Stay grounded and connected.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the day won’t get any easier when Mercury, Venus, and Pluto add energy that urges us to embrace our earthy, desirous nature, even though we’d prefer a chill and low-key energy today. However, if you lean into the dreams that you’re most passionate about, you can achieve personal and spiritual fulfillment. Don’t hold back! Be brave and strong! Embrace change and growth. If you dare to dream and focus on your vision, the seeds that you plant today will yield change tomorrow.

On a personal note, it’s a great time to embrace your power and glamour. It’s been a long time since you commanded the spotlight, and now you want to be noticed. And who could blame you? Go ahead and post a hot selfie online. Embrace all the kind and flattering words sent your way. Soak up the love that others give to you.

We finally begin to see some solid and direct expression of our views and opinions. Our confidence is bolstered when we stand up for others, rather than simply blowing our own horn. There is an innate capacity to recognize that we are building on the work of those who have come before us — and also laying the foundations for those who are yet to come. We have lost much of our need to rely only on appearances today and feel emboldened to rely on the validity of our beliefs and opinions. Today seems to offer us an opportunity to begin to lay a foundation for new initiatives that can be unveiled after the first New Moon of the New Year on January 2nd, 2022 (10:33 AM PST 12° Capricorn) that will trine liberating Uranus.

DAILY ORACLE

Buffalo Spirit comes to you now to remind you of the amazing manifesting power of gratitude and the extraordinary potential available to you when you adopt a mind-set of abundance.

The ancient people of the Americas saw the buffalo as a symbol of abundance because the herds roamed far and wide, and provided so many gifts—the meat, the hide, the bones. The tribes who hunted the buffalo used every bit of them, wasting nothing, appreciative of the abundance.

So, too, do you have many gifts available to you. Buffalo Spirit appears to let you know that you are in a powerful time to manifest your desires—not by force or pushing but rather by following a natural path that rises up before you, trusting that there is always plenty to go around. Whether it be love, money, inspiration, or support, it’s all there for you to claim.

When you are grateful, you immediately align yourself with the truth that the world is rich and teeming with resources. There is always more than enough, and you are always enough.

At this time, you can expect all your intentions and needs to come into a form that is right for you. Your heartfelt gratitude is making you a magnet for miracles. Buffalo Spirit’s message is to remember that you co-create your reality in partnership with Spirit, so offer up your thanks and your prayers, even before you see conditions you desire—not just for yourself, but for others too—then you will quickly see the results in tangible ways.

Gratitude has the magic to grow the good, so offer thanks and praise as you acknowledge all that you have and all that is possible.
