At the heart of our Milky Way galaxy, the Galactic Center is marked by a powerful and enigmatic force—a supermassive black hole that exerts a profound gravitational pull….


Our rendezvous with the Galactic Center invites us to connect with the very essence of our origins. It serves as a celestial reminder that we are intricately woven into the fabric of the universe, each of us, a stardust being with a unique role to play in the unfolding tapestry of existence.

The energy emanating from the Galactic Center is believed to hold a frequency of higher consciousness, offering an invitation to align with our origin, before we got caught up in our modern technological world, and tap into the universal wisdom that flows through the cosmos….


As the New Moon joins forces with the Galactic Center, it acts as a conduit, channeling the energies and insights from this celestial powerhouse. This alignment provides an opportunity for profound spiritual growth, inner exploration, and a deeper connection to the mysteries of the cosmos. It beckons us to transcend the boundaries of mundane existence and reach for the stars within ourselves!

 

Mercury Stations Retrograde


As this lunar event unfolds, Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect, readies itself to embark on his retrograde journey. From December 12th at 08°29’ Capricorn to January 1st at 22°11’ Sagittarius, Mercury's retrograde beckons us into a realm of introspection and reconsideration. This temporal shift encourages a thorough review of our plans and communication styles, prompting us to reassess and realign with our authentic selves….

During this retrospective phase, Mercury forms a harmonious trine with Jupiter, the expansive planet associated with growth and opportunities. This alliance, occurring as Mercury stations to go retrograde, infuses the retrograde period with a layer of expansive energy. The trine to Jupiter, who also holds the title of the lord of the New Moon, adds a touch of optimism to our introspective journey. This celestial connection invites us to broaden our perspectives, to tap into optimistic insights that can guide us through the labyrinth of self-reflection.


As we navigate Mercury's retrograde, the trine to Jupiter serves as a compass, encouraging us to revisit past opportunities with a renewed sense of hope and curiosity. It beckons us to explore untapped potentials that might have been overlooked in the hustle and bustle of daily life and the holidays. This alignment suggests that within the folds of reconsideration and reflection lies the key to unlocking new possibilities, reminding us that even during moments of cosmic pause, the universe whispers opportunities for growth and expansion. Embrace this trine as a guiding star, illuminating the path to rediscovering hidden gems in the tapestry of our experiences!
