Welcome to the month of December, in which we stroll as calmly as we can towards 2012, the Year of the Open Heart.

Can you believe it – it’s here at last. You’ve gotten through goddess-knows how many bizarre past lifetimes to be here; now it’s time to enter the Garden of Delights that is your consciousness. There are just a few minor things I want you to keep in mind to soothe your adrenals and awaken your pineal gland as the excitement builds…

December 10/11: Total full moon eclipse in Gemini. A beautiful night for star-gazing, with NASA predicting a whole spectrum of light as the eclipse unfolds. It’s visible all around Australia and lasts for 51 minutes, peaking at 00.32am on the 11th (1.32am for Daylight Savings). Key theme: the Only Reality is Love. Any other ideas are like dust.

December 14: Mercury turns direct in Sagittarius…but communications may still go haywire as December unfolds. Decide now that you won’t be offended by tardiness, impractical requests at all the wrong moments, or excessive enthusiasm (Sagittarius at its most annoying). Do not lecture, or expect perfection.

December 21, the Summer Solstice, to December 29: This is an intense time, with the sun meeting Pluto in Capricorn and also triggering Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus and Neptune. Yes, all at once – and there’s a new moon in Capricorn on Christmas Day as well. How intense it is for you personally depends on how honest you are with yourself. If you feel irritated by your circumstances or other people, don’t focus on them – focus on what is going on deep inside you that you feel you are being “forced” to deal with. Release all self-judgements and fling them back into outer space, where the Aquarian Age Angels will recycle them in their infra-universal recycling wheelie bin (aka “god” if you’re an old-fashioned type). Let your light shine and stop taking notice of anyone who doesn’t think you are the Buddha crossed with a reincarnated Atlantis priestess. In a nutshell, surround yourself with light and laughter.

Boxing Day – Jupiter turns direct in Taurus. Time to implement that great idea you’ve been mulling over. Planet Ganesha is behind the wheel again, which means that launching new projects, or revamping an old one, is now a whole lot easier. Oh at last! No more waiting for the stars to align with your visions. What a great way to warm up for…

New Year’s Eve 2012. Join me and all other light-workers around the planet as we offer up our prayers of gratitude. Affirm that your dreams are supported, that you are safe and cherished, and then send your prayers around the globe, and deep down into Mother Earth. Love is the Only Reality – what more do we need to know? Celebrate loudly or quietly, robustly or in your sleep, whichever way you like.

May peace be with you, brothers and sisters. It’s been an incredible year, and 2012 promises to be even more extraordinary.
