Weekly Soberscopes (Dec 1- 7)
Primitive Astrology as it relates to Our So Called Life
While I am no astrologer, my daughter was born out of nowhere on a Friday the 13th under a Strawberry Supermoon. I believe the energetic alignment of the planets has a measurable effect on my sanity reserves. I believe the tide of a full moon can initiate uterine contractions. And while I know nothing of Mercury Retrogrades celestial significance, 80% of the texts I send out during this station feature post-send-button regret or lead to phenomenal cases of misunderstanding.
Now, let’s learn about astrology together, shall we?!
Planetary Spotlight (Dec 1 - 7)
NEW MOON IN SAGITARRIUS
According to Chani:
During a New Moon, Luna joins together with the Sun forming a symbolic rebirth moment. Becuase the Moon is so close to the Sun during a New Moon, its light disappears from our sky. This shift leaves us in the fertile dark of a fresh beginning: an idea, a mission accepted, a seed unfurling in the earth.
This New Moon happens to be in Sagittarius.
Sagittarius is the zodiac sign whose arrangement in the sky most resembles the archer’s bow. Although I cannot tell you exactly according to whom. HOWEVER because Saggitarius is a fire sign (and I know my fellow fire signs well) let’s just say that the alignment for this week, offers…
an invitation to imbue the Dream Seeds of future growth with the warming embers of enthusiasm.
Or at least, let that stand as the codeified novice translation.
But What Exactly Is a Zodiac Sign?
According to the internets:
Zodiac signs are not actual constellations themselves, but rather a system of 12 divisions along the ecliptic path of the sun, with each division named after a constellation that appears prominently in that section of the sky; essentially, the Babylonians created the concept of the zodiac by dividing the sky into 12 equal parts and naming each section after a visible constellation. (Annnnnd now I can’t get this song out of my head —> See: Babylon by David Gray)

Fill my January Masterclass
Column One:
NOVEL
Action steps:
Create a Google Doc. Name it Novel. Open it.
Write one paragraph per day, five days this week. (As you start to feel the momentum of this creative act, you will naturally want to write more. We start where we are).
Column Two:
QUIT DRINKING
Action steps:
Start a drinking log. Each morning, track how many drinks I had the night before, what triggered me to take them, and how I feel about having them, and how my body feels that morning.
Start listening to “This Naked Mind” on audiobook or buy the book. Take notes on what I find.
Column Three:
MASTERCLASS
Action steps:
Record a short video talking about why the masterclass is important
Create a Flodesk workflow highlighting the core content covered and the transformation it offers.
