Take time to catch up with yourself

By Cassandra Tyndall

So much has changed astrologically in the last couple of weeks. As we cross the threshold into a new calendar year, the sky is reasonably quiet, comparatively.

Dec. 30 brings the Full Moon in Cancer. It’s been three years since the Moon has been at her most powerful without the influence of heavy Saturn. Take some time out this week to do something that is truly nurturing and restorative for your soul. This may be spending time with those you hold near and dear. It could be simply curling up with a good book or chilling out with a movie. It seems so simple I know, but after the year that’s been, it’s a great opportunity to catch up with yourself and with those you care about.

The sign of Cancer is particularly concerned with family, home, comfort and care. It’s also about the past. With so much of 2020 worth leaving in the past, you may like to bask in the light of the Moon and remind yourself of what really matters moving forward. Leave behind, release and let go of anything that you don’t want to take into 2021. Recognize it. Thank it. And say goodbye.
