Hooray, hooray! Just one week to go until the festive days of Yuletide arrive, each filled with its own special magical energy. For now, we are moving through the final trials of the dark season, taking control of ourselves, our lives, our desires, and the paths that lie ahead.

The roads are no longer as harsh and are lit a little better, yet along them we may still encounter strange—and sometimes not so frightening anymore—creatures. The approach of the Sun grants us greater confidence and strength to deal with the whirlwinds born under their influence. We can look toward the future more calmly and optimistically, even through the haze of this busy, preparation-filled week. And the very first day immediately pulls us into that whirlwind.

🧙 A great deal of attention, energy, time—and possibly even nerves—will be required to avoid drowning in tasks and concerns. It may feel as though everyone suddenly needs your help and your perspective all at once. Yet no matter how packed your schedule is, you will be able to handle everything that comes your way, and each completed task will give you an extra charge of inner energy. Enthusiasm and active movement toward your goals make it seem as if fatigue doesn’t exist at all; the joy and satisfaction with yourself and the fruits of your work inspire even greater achievements.

Keep moving, moving, moving! Just be careful not to overload yourself on this wave—you’re unlikely to finish everything planned for the entire week in one day. Save a little strength for the days ahead.

May all doors open for you!
