Wow! I don’t know about you but I am having a hard time believing that we are almost in a new year. The holidays for me are a time of reflection, creation, and enjoying the splendor of family and friends. Thoughts on how I can improve, what to create during the winter time, and self-care are all top priorities. However, this time also has so many expectations because of holiday giving spirit, holiday music, and holiday parties. Making this time stressful and I can forget to take personal time to myself.

The thing to remember is this is the last celebration before hibernation. The energy of this time is very fiery as we are in the season of Sagittarius. Sag is all about luck, knowledge, travel, and truth. One of my friends says that the embers of the fire pit represent the Sagittarius fire energy the best, as they are extremely hot, can create sacred smoke when herbs land on the coals and are slowly burning out.

The Capricorn energy is what rides us through Christmas and the New Year until the middle of January. Capricorn energy (my sign) is all about the achievements, the reflection, how is the foundation and what can be built safely upon your foundational life.
