These are the darkest days of the year as Saturn moves into close conjunction with Pluto. Together, they are remodeling and restructuring our underworld, our shadow, and our dark recesses.

Cards of the Day: The 8 of Swords reversed indicates that we are beginning to break free of our mental, emotional, psychological, and spiritual blocks by recognizing that we are our own worst enemies. It is so easy to make up stories about how the external world is causing all of our restrictions when it is only reflecting the ones we have imposed on ourselves.

This idea is highlighted by the 6 of Pentacles upright. The material world reveals to us the physical manifestation of our energetic offerings.

We are in a period of stasis as we prepare for the influx of energy from the Winter Solstice, the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Capricorn on December 25/26, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Cancer on January 10th, and the exact Saturn Pluto conjunction on January 12th.

We are encouraged to embody the King of Wands. He knows who he is as he sits in the seat of his soul. He is divinely directed, and his life will unfold however it is supposed to.

Take some time today to sit on your throne and know your power.
