21-27 december ◆ solstice

This week is a beginning, but it doesn't have a welcoming committee. Instead, it's going to take your focused force to break open the doors. The rules are being rewritten as you read this. The absence of form and consistency allows for a critical reimagining of the future. It has been a tumultuous journey for everyone, some much more so than others, so now that everything is broken, it is time to rebuild. As the problems continue to arise, the old questions we used to ask may no longer lead us to answers. Learning the new questions to ask is part of this time. If this year took much away from you, it gave you a glimpse into your most basic needs and beliefs. If you were lucky enough for a silver lining, ask how you can make the most use of it. Foraging in the trash heap does not sound like a holiday, but where else will we find the parts and tools to forge ahead into our new lives?
At the start of the week, several cycles have entered their dawning moments. Some are shorter but still impactful, and others are going to take years to unfold, imposing their influence in many parts of our lives. Now is a time to note the structures in your life that hold it up and keep its foundation from shaking. Most of us have had to do this ad hoc in reaction to needs arising, but now we can step outside of ourselves and see what it looks like from outside. Being able to act from a more objective, thoughtful place gives the upper hand when planning a response. There may be a hard feeling starting the week, but it is to prepare you for the shake-ups that lie ahead.
Mid-week calls for some prudence around anything combustible. Open flames--people, places, and things included--are more likely to be volatile. It may be a good use of your frustrations to put any energy that cannot be expressed into plotting and persuing your break out moments. Physical exertion or exercise could also be the right place for that energy, but take care not to overdo it since injuries are more likely now. It may also be unwise to initiate a conflict or broach complicated matters as the matter can quickly become unstable or inflamed.
The final days of the week are exciting in a, hopefully, more positive direction. Expect to be more communicative and social than the rest of the week. Perhaps an insight into a new way of thinking about something or restructuring an old habit or boundary will flash onto your radar. Choosing to emphasize creativity and innovation for these days will help to invite the muses into problem areas of your life. The resolutions that emerge may have a decidedly practical inclination in their nature, but now is an influential time to re-make and re-inform the frameworks, arrangements, and patterns that shape your reality.
