DAILY POWER ANIMAL
Great Blue Heron spirit | Honor your emotional well-being.
Is your life in a state of balance? If not, long-legged Heron has flown in today to help you. Because Heron is a water bird, he is most often associated with emotions. He stands motionless, almost in a trance, his body mirrored in the water below. Take a few moments today to be like Heron—be quiet, go within, and discover the answer to your questions.
The symbolism and significance of the blue heron trigger you to deeply value silence, patience, and profound meditation. Do you find yourself being extremely sociable to the point of exhaustion? Are you feeling trapped and lonely? The blue heron spirit may be able to help you improve! Heron demonstrates how to manage your social life while still avoiding extreme seclusion.
The blue heron flies alone in nature. Except during breeding season, the bird dislikes being in groups. As a result, the blue heron is associated with isolation. The blue heron’s inherent propensity to hunt is another natural trait. This bird can attain food very fast. While the actual capture is almost immediate, the wait before it happens can be long and very quiet. Therefore, heron teaches the virtue of patience, or the ability to observe and ponder before acting. The water element is associated with the blue heron, which urges us to flow with the forces around us. We don’t need to fight nature; instead, we should work with it – go smoothly with it. The heron is undeniably beautiful and elegant. It’s difficult not to be inspired by such a magnificent, breathtaking creature. Heron as spirit and guide, brings several messages with it. Independence is the key trait of this deity. You’re either too introverted or overly outgoing. We still need other people in our lives, in order to function normally. We don’t have to blend in with the throng to the point of losing our individuality. Finally, heron gives you advice on a different business possibility. This Spirit Animal is patient and tenacious. You can always say no to waiting and actually thrive towards your objectives.
Blue Heron spirit is naturally lonely. They dislike outsiders intruding in their personal lives. Their circles are small, with at least one mate in each. While they appear comfortable in a group, they tend to withdraw after a social event. You learn a little bit of this and a little bit of that throughout your life. You may find yourself enjoying diverse social roles. Blue heron spirit enjoys a lot of freedom because of the heron’s traits. You don’t expect others to comprehend your way of life. You’re never going to be traditional. This way of living seems unstable and disordered from the outside. You, on the other hand, can view, alter, and complete a pattern, perhaps while doing two other things at the same time! Even better, you have a special aptitude for seizing opportunities that others overlook.
DAILY ORACLE CARD
I | THE MAGICIAN
The Magician is one tarot card that is filled with symbolism. The central figure depicts someone with one hand pointed to the sky, while the other hand points to the ground, as if to say “as above, so below”. This is a rather complicated phrase, but its summarization is that earth reflects heaven, the outer world reflects within, the microcosm reflects the macrocosm, earth reflects God. It can also be interpreted here that the magician symbolizes the ability to act as a go-between between the world above and the contemporary, human world.
On his table, the magician also wields all the suits of the tarot. This symbolizes the four elements being connected by this magician – the four elements being earth, water, air, and fire. The infinity sign on his head indicates the infinite possibilities of creation with the will.
The Magician is the representation of pure willpower. With the power of the elements and the suits, he takes the potential innate in the fool and molds it into being with the power of desire. He is the connecting force between heaven and earth, for he understands the meaning behind the words “as above so below” – that mind and world are only reflections of one another. Remember that you are powerful, create your inner world, and the outer will follow.
Remember that you are powerful, create your inner world, and the outer will follow.
When you get the Magician in your reading, it might mean that it’s time to tap into your full potential without hesitation. It might be in your new job, new business venture, a new love or something else. It shows that the time to take action is now and any signs of holding back would mean missing the opportunity of becoming the best version of yourself. Certain choices will have to be made and these can bring great changes to come. Harness some of the Magician’s power to make the world that you desire most.
DECEMBER 2022 LUNAR CALENDAR
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.
