Gratitude, Sociality & Sagittarius Season

Today, as I begin to write this post, it’s Thanksgiving in the US, and although I don’t celebrate it anymore, as I now live in Norway, it’s still nice to take a little time on this auspicious day, to reflect on what I’m grateful for. This is something that I don’t do enough, so it’s a good reminder for me, as I believe that the more we focus on what we have in our lives, and what we are grateful for, as opposed to focusing on what we lack or long for more of, the more we attract good things into our lives. I think no matter how bleak things may seem in our lives and in the world in general, there is still always something to feel thankful for, if we just shift our focus and our thoughts a little.

Yesterday the sun shifted from the sign of Scorpio, into Sagittarius, which is my sun sign (and ascendant, too), so I’m heaving a sigh of relief as we get out of the deep, emotional energy of Scorpio, into the adventurous, expansive energy of Sagittarius. Don’t get me wrong, it’s definitely necessary and important to go deep into your shadow and work on releasing and transforming deep trauma from time to time, but as much as I have done just that, in recent weeks (and months… and years…) I’m hoping for a little break from all of that now that “my season” is here. And I can actually feel that the energy has lightened somewhat already.

The eclipse portal and successive Scorpio season definitely brought up some old traumas and heavy energies to clear, but things seem to settle down now. Not that there isn’t more stuff to clear, there are always more layers of the onion to peel back before we get to the core of love and light at the center, but for now, I’m hoping for a little respite from all that. The holiday season is upon us, my birthday month is right around the corner, and there are many things to be joyful and grateful for, so that is where I’m putting my attention. And with the full moon in Gemini coming up in a few days’ time, I trust that it will take care of any remaining clearing and releasing that needs to be done before December hits.

My music is coming along, too, as I’ve been working on some new songs, 3 of them to be exact, and they are getting very close to ready. I’m hoping to release them all during the first half of 2024. These things always seem to take more time than I’d like, but I feel this year things have flowed much better in that area of my life, so I hope that will continue, and hopefully ramp up even more, come 2024. As my personal ascension process keeps moving along, the better my “base energy” seems to become these days, and when you don’t feel like you have a boulder to push uphill on a daily basis anymore, your life in general flows much better. And that is something to be grateful for, too, and I certainly am.

There is a lot of fiery energy on offer at the moment, with Sagittarius season here and Mars also being very active. This may give a little boost of motivation and energy to get things done, so try to take advantage of that while it’s here. Mercury will go retrograde later in December, so things may slow down a bit again at that time, but in the meantime, I intend to use the fiery energy to move my music projects along, so that hopefully, the 3 tracks will be ready for mastering by the end of the year. Let’s see what happens. I often set goals with the best of intentions, and then some intense energy or other will invariably slow me down. But that’s okay, too. If anything, when you’re in these intense processes, you learn to go with the flow, and most importantly, follow your inner guidance. I trust that all unfolds as it’s meant to and that I’m always guided, even if things don’t always happen as quickly as I would like.

The holidays can be a very social time of the year, and with the full moon in social Gemini coming up, appreciating and spending time with friends and family may be just where our focus should be. Although spending time with family (and even friends) can also be a challenge and perhaps a bit of a test at times, try to focus on what you appreciate about them and what positive aspects they have brought and bring to your life, using the opportunity to release and clear anything that may stand in the way of that. Spend time with people that give you joy and let loose and have some fun, and the lightness of the season will show itself soon enough.

By the time this is posted, the Thanksgiving holiday will already have come to a close, but I hope you had a beautiful time, and that you found and are still finding, many things to be thankful for. Enjoy some fun and social activity, while also allowing for some releasing and clearing with the Gemini full moon. I wish you a happy Sagittarius season, and until next time…

Sending you much love & light!
