If Your Birthday is Dec. 10
(The Day of Inner Fervor) | Sagittarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
What do you believe your truest, most pressing obligations and responsibilities are? You might think in terms of your wider community and the planet itself, your immediate family and your job, or your soul’s purpose and spiritual evolution. Consider checking those beliefs for possible roots in guilt, or in a story that is not actually true. A sense of clarity about the thing that must be done — even if it’s not easy, or if gratification will be delayed — is what you’re looking for. Then, get to work.
Written in the Planets
As the Moon moves into Taurus today, it might very well assist with some ‘stick-to-itiveness’ with any duties you simply must fulfill. The trick might be getting going in the first place. So, if necessary, remind yourself how much better you’ll feel once you’ve gotten the project in question out of the way. Today’s Sun-Saturn conjunction in Sagittarius might feel like it’s limiting your freedom with ‘responsibilities’. If so, the key is to put the effort in where it’s needed rather than getting hung up in resistance. If holiday shopping is on your agenda, let that Taurus Moon guide you toward items that engage the senses, are well made and beautiful, and have lasting value.
