This week we move into the sign of Sagittarius on the 22nd, so welcome to Sagittarius season! These guys are a bunch of crazies and love to be on the move. This is the sign of the traveler and philosopher, so don’t be surprised this week is you feel the itch to start travelling and taking everything you gathered and found during Scorpio season, and find new perspectives and ways to integrate this information into your everyday life. Ruled by Jupiter, these guys are exactly like the planet itself—large, in charge, and endlessly blessed with abundance. I swear every Sag I know has 4 leaf clovers coming out of their butts–how can one group of people continually be so lucky?? Known as the archer, these guys know how to focus an intent and hit their mark; when their eye is on the prize, nothing else matters and you better get out of the way (they are a fire sign!). I personally feel that one of Sagittarius’s greatest gift is their humor though, so look for ways this week that you can bring humor to a situation that may need new, fresh energy, or to someone who may need a pick me up. Sometimes, the greatest gift you can give is a smile.
I want to give you guys a heads up too that mercury retrograde is here on Dec 3rd, and to be honest, you should already be feeling some of the Mercury Retrograde effects. SO, I want you guys to back up your files, double check your work, make sure the info you’re giving out is correct and what you’re receiving is correct, too. Don’t forget to get ANY mechanical things done now, purchase any electronics immediately, and sign those contracts post haste. The closer we get to that date, the worse it’s gonna get, so get your butt in gear if you need to get things done.

So how can we use the energy of this week to help us? My advice is this: What part (or person) of your life can benefit from a little humor? What else needs your focused attention, and how can you train yourself to finish your task at hand? Where can you stand to be a little more adventurous, and how is travel (any form) tied into this for you? This week, be silly. Your soul needs a pick me up after the heaviness of Scorpio season <3

Go ahead and pick a card from above (pick one, two, or all three cards—choose what you’re drawn to). The stone you see in the picture is Agate. Agate enhances mental function by improving concentration, perception, and analytical abilities. Placed on the abdomen or used as an elixir, Agate stimulates the digestive system and relieves gastritis. It is beneficial for the eyes, hollow organs such as the stomach, uterus, intestines, etc., and heals skin disorders and itching due to insect bites. Agate is helpful to the heart and blood vessels. Wearing an Agate in the middle of the chest strengthens the cardiac muscle, and heals emotional disharmony that prevents acceptance of love. A cold Agate placed on the forehead is generally effective in curing fever. (If the fever returns, however, consult a doctor.) Agate may also reduce the symptoms of epilepsy, and for some people guards against sleepwalking. Agate encourages a sense of reality and pragmatic thinking. Agates with regular designs soothe those who desire peace and harmony, while those with irregular designs can stimulate action and important decision making. Agate is beneficial in self-analysis and uncovering hidden circumstances that might interfere with well-being. It promotes self-acceptance and confidence, encouraging the speaking of one’s own truth. Agate overcomes negativity and bitterness of the heart, by healing anger, fostering love, and lending the courage to start over. It is useful for any kind of trauma.

If you chose card #1: Your message this week is about the Ace of Crystals. Your card goes on to say that the Ace of Crystals signifies a new and prosperous beginning. It is the fruition of wealth and abundance, and the attainment of your dreams. You are capable of manifesting your goals into reality, and also appreciate the payoff of your success. From this state if understanding, comes the ability to identify opportunities as they arise, and those routes that align best with your spirituality. This speaks of your innate trust in your heart and Higher Self. Remember, the power of positive visualization combined with a sense of gratitude will only attract more abundance into your life. Additional Meanings: Prosperity • Stability • Possessions • Opportunities • New ventures • Fertility.

If you chose card #2: Your message this week is about the Two of Cups. Your card goes on to say that this is a card of partnerships, love, and deep friendships. There’s a strong mutual connection and an affinity for positive, loving respect. You have released any blockages that have been exerting pressure on you, and now you can breathe and relax. The Two of Cups is also a card of new beginnings and budding romance. It can indicate the early phase when two people first meet, lost in a wave of infatuation. It is a dream-like state, where long-term goals may not be so clear. On another note, the Two of Cups can also indicate the emergence of self-love. It is the understanding that, in order to be happy in a relationship you must first and foremost love yourself. Additional Meanings:Cooperation • Engagement • Passion • Resolution • Union • Lust.

If you chose card #3: Your message this week is about the King of Swords. Your card goes on to say that if this is about a situation: It is time to speak your truth with confidence and strength. The need to look at things objectively, with no limiting emotions. You are quick-witted and sharp in your convictions, standing up against all odds. Do not worry yourself with the opinions of others. You already know you have what it takes. If this is about a person: The King of Swords is an intelligent, decisive individual who handles their life with an objective, logical approach. A firm, yet fair person who is capable of highly complex thoughts and ideas. They are inventive, articulate, and very communicative. The King of Swords does not give in to impulse or emotional distraction, and is always driven by rationality and truth. Additional Meanings: Authoritative • Logical • Rational • Ambitious • Assertive.

My hope for you this week is that you get out of your comfort zone and try something new. Whether to bust out of limiting situation or find a new mind frame, you need to break up some stagnant energy here. Maybe think about taking a trip too. It doesn’t need to be very far, but I feel like the travel itself will help you to feel like things are moving, even if you personally feel stuck.

This is your week! Make it an amazing one 🙂
