DAILY POWER ANIMAL
Otter spirit | Give yourself permission.

Otter represents one of the most playful feminine energies on earth—and she has swum over into your reading to bring a message of joyful play. If life has been difficult or challenges overwhelming, relax a little—Otter is here to remind you that play is just as important as work—and NOT competitive play, but rather the kind you loved as a child. Hopscotch anyone?

The otter may boost your productivity and keep you motivated when you’re tempted to give up on your work which seems to deplete you for a while. These creatures are hard workers, resourceful, and aware that there are several approaches to overcoming challenges.

When an otter enters your life, it signals the beginning of a period of transformation and healing. Your animal companion is a practical guide who promotes spiritual awareness and dedication as a foundation for development. Otters represent playfulness and the capacity to rediscover the joy in life as a means of counteracting more difficult or stressful periods. Otter symbolizes the energies of the earth and the water.

There are two sorts of otters in the natural world: one lives in the sea, while the other inhabits rivers. Otter knows the mind, emotions, and psychic vibrations thanks to their connection with deep waters. When one has an otter as a spirit animal, one starts to view life as a true playground: something fun to enjoy with loved ones. Otter frequently enters people’s life when they have grown overly serious, over-thought things, and forgotten their inner kid. Otters are creatures who are always ready for a little adventure and they always follow their curiosity. They focus on the future rather than what has passed. Otter Spirit taught us a valuable lesson: You can’t embrace the future if you’re constantly clinging to the past.

Although you adopt a fresh viewpoint, this does not imply you ignore challenges; rather, you overcome life hurdles with a positive mindset. Otter is a restless personality who lacks tolerance for envy. You can always find happiness even in the darkest of times. You should always let go of something toxic if it is holding back your natural development. Otter also exhorts you to express gratitude for all the other souls that cross your path and the teachings they provide. When an otter is your spirit animal, you learn how not to become obsessive about certain things that might hinder your self-development and stop you from being absolutely delighted.

Avoid getting caught up in repetitive harmful practices. You’ll be able to distinguish between wrong and right when you stay true to yourself. Otter could advise you to speak out and use precise language while communicating to make your point. “Take it easy” is another piece of advice from the otter spirit animal. You cannot endure pressure and stress without having your joy in life taken away. A self-loving and generous act of giving to oneself eventually helps you to become your better self.

Otters are diligent animals. They work hard but they also play hard. They like to have clear objectives and they thrive for their aims with full passion. Otters don’t take breaks, have admirable drive and passion, and don’t whine about their duties. If the otter is your spirit animal, you are a determined, upbeat, and responsible individual. You have enough experience to do your tasks on your own and don’t require anybody else to direct your efforts. You also like working in groups to achieve common objectives. You don’t strive to dominate people out of selfishness. You are approachable, cooperative, and impartial.


DAILY ORACLE CARD
VI | JUSTICE

The Justice tarot card is a symbol of truth, fairness, and law. This is a spiritual reminder that what she delivers are the outcomes of their actions.

The decisions that you make now have long-term effects in all things, both for yourself and others. There will always come a time where you will be judged. The Justice tarot card appearing in a reading signals that a judgment will be made fairly and accordingly. The decisions that you have made in the past will be carefully weighed with fairness. Your feelings around this card may differ depending on your situation.

If you have been wronged, this card’s appearance may bring you relief. On the other hand, if your actions caused pain to others, this card serves as a warning. Her appearance represents a chance for you to change your actions now for a better future. When a tarot card reading shows the figure of justice, it is time to account for your actions.

If you have been wronged, this card’s appearance may bring you relief. On the other hand, if your actions caused pain to others, this card serves as a warning.

Another meaning of the Justice card is truth. Truth must come to pass, and this cannot be found from the mouths and gossip of others. Instead, it’s based on facts. Learn the truth about others and yourself, speak and know the truth before passing a judgment. During a reading, when you see the Justice Tarot card, you need to be fair in all your deeds. By following the right procedure to learn the truth, you will understand what your tasks are.

Another meaning of Justice Tarot card during a reading is to symbolize that attention is needed. It could be about your life, career or just an important decision that you need to make. If you have been unsure about something, it is time to get a solution once and for all.



DECEMBER 2022 LUNAR CALENDAR

FRI DECEMBER 23rd: New Moon in Capricorn. You might have a strong need for being useful to society and you look for justification in the outside world. You may underestimate what you want from yourself and for yourself. Shyness may be accompanied by resentment of the fact that others ignore you. Do not seek approval from the outside, it will not help you get rid of your doubt and it is harmful to you. You have to trust your inner values.

THU – FRI DECEMBER 29-30th: First Quarter Moon in Aries. The feeling of uncertainty can make you solve problems faster than is natural. Do not rush as if there was a deadline. Try to slow down so that you can decide what you want to do and proceed at your own comfortable pace.


DECEMBER 2022 ASTROLOGICAL CALENDAR

On the 20th, Jupiter enters Aries. Jupiter first entered Aries on May 10th, but after turning retrograde on July 28th, it returned to Pisces on October 28th. Now, Jupiter re-enters Aries, where it will stay until May 16th, 2023. This transit encourages us to embrace our enterprising spirit and independence.

With Jupiter in Aries, we make our own opportunities, and we thrive when we take the lead, initiate, inspire others, and demonstrate enthusiasm and courage. Prosperous areas are ones that allow us to head and lead, and to innovate. Faith in ourselves can bring about positive circumstances or good luck.

Faith in our ability to reinvent our lives and to move forward with confidence in spite of challenges we may be leaving behind is strong during this cycle. We believe that “life is what you make it,” and we enjoy competition as it pushes us to do better. Our belief in ourselves brings a spirit of the pioneer. We live in the “now” and quickly seize opportunities. However, we should watch for taking any of these things too far, a me-first attitude that can be insensitive, failing to consider others’ viewpoints and leaving opportunities behind as a result, over-confidence, not learning from past mistakes, and a lack of objectivity.

Chiron turns direct on December 23rd after retrograde motion since July 19th. Emotional truths about matters we’ve been avoiding or confused about begin to emerge now and in the coming weeks. While not always comfortable revelations, they can serve to motivate us to take appropriate action.

Also on December 23rd, the New Moon occurs in the sign of Capricorn, stirring a new beginning. We recognize that having some boundaries and rules in place frees us up to enjoy ourselves as we meet our responsibilities. This lunation offers us the opportunity to set practical, attainable goals and work on developing maturity, self-discipline, and common sense. We’re prompted to consider and prepare for the future.

Jupiter forms a semi-square Uranus on December 23rd. This is the final of three transits, with the other two perfections on May 11th and September 28th. This transit is a minor but longer-term aspect. We can feel a little restless, wanting to grow, improve, and innovate, but we’re not necessarily focused. We could find it difficult to agree with others, or it’s hard to find common ground. We need to be willing to make changes in our lives now, or change will come in perhaps unwanted forms. This is a rebellious, restless influence, and we should avoid random moves. It’s best to tap into areas that may need some attention and improvement. We might open ourselves up to new ways of thinking, but we could also too easily avoid taking responsibility for things that truly matter. While watching for impractical ventures and unusual tangents with weak staying power, we should connect with our desire to innovate.

On December 29th, Mercury turns retrograde in the sign of Capricorn, and it will continue its retrograde journey until January 18th. Some delays or information clogs are possible. With Mercury retrograde in Capricorn for the whole cycle, we may have little tolerance for small talk and tend to express ourselves after much deliberation. Plans may be considered then reconsidered. We are in a good position to reevaluate professional or life path plans and goals. It’s also a fine time to explore what ambition or our reputation means to us.
