Depending on how you choose to see it, 2011 is ending or 2012 is beginning with two square aspects – Sagittarius Mercury square Virgo Mars at 10:06p PST tonight, December 31st , and Capricorn Sun square Aries Moon at 10:14p PST tonight as well.
With the Mercury-Mars square, it is likely that we will clearly recognize the areas of our lives in which our thoughts and communications are probably not what we are really doing or acting upon.
Mercury in Sagittarius has us eager to learn and communicate the truth in matters, while Mars in Virgo has us eager to take actions that are practical, productive and serve our everyday life routines.
This aspect has us noticing where our daily routines and actions are not in alignment with our inner truth. In fact, we may find ourselves challenged by the fact that we aren’t being true to ourselves in one or more areas of our lives. With the focus on the New Year and fresh starts, this conflict of energies could be the catalyst for some major changes both collectively and individually in 2012.
With the Sun-Moon square, the Capricorn Sun is shining our goals and ambitions, while the Aries Moon brings attention to our feelings about our individual selves and the actions we are taking in our own best interests.
Moon in Aries gives us a strong desire to act upon the emotions that we feel right now, and our emotions are likely to be in conflict with the goals and ambitions we have for ourselves that are being brought to our attention now through the Capricorn Sun.
As result, many of us may want to define ourselves through our emotions right now and share or take action to express how we feel about ourselves and our lives. Yet for those of us who also define ourselves by our tangible, professional (career) and/or public accomplishments and achievements, this could be a very trying time as how we feel about ourselves may not be in alignment with what we are accomplishing or what we are set out to accomplish in our lives.
All of that being said, the beginning of the New Year (or the end of the old one) is the perfect time to be faced with these questions and the challenge of answering them!
- What are you saying to yourself and others that is not in alignment with what you are doing?
- What are you not being honest with yourself about – where are your actions betraying your commitments and beliefs?
- What about your everyday life is what you do but doesn’t ring true for you to be doing?
- In which areas of your life do you notice that you are not being who you say you are being?
- How do you feel about the goals and ambitions you are setting for the New Year? Are they in your best interests, or are you choosing them in order to look good for others?
- Which actions are you taking “in your own best interests” that are not supporting your goals or ambitions and may even be hindering them?
- What do you feel like doing right now…and are you doing it for yourself or for recognition and status publically or professionally?
- What do you feel like doing right now…and is it going to help or hurt you in the pursuit and fulfillment of your goals?
I invite you to take on these questions and the answers to them. Get to the real motivation for your New Year resolutions. May your willingness to ask yourself these questions and to face the answers to these them bring all of you a productive and fulfilling 2012!
Thank you for following! Until next time…
