This Holiday Give Yourself and Your Partner the Gift of Your Presence
So much of the holidays can be taken up with the busy stuff of gift buying, travel plans, and food and festivity preparations that we’re often left exhausted and depleted. It’s easy to forget what the holidays are fundamentally about: to connect and be with family, friends and loved ones. This holiday, offer the gift of your presence to both yourself and your loved ones.
Learn about the neurobiology of “we,” how mindfulness can increase trust and the power of a “connection ritual.”
“These connection rituals can become the lifeboat for a relationship that is drowning in to-do’s!”
The Astrology Eye
Starting in 2012 and ending in 2015 is a series of 7 intense squares between revolutionary Uranus and powerful Pluto. November 1st was the 4th in this series of seven.
How does this show up politically? Uranus is the voice of the people wanting justice and freedom from Plutonian style leaders who pursue power and wealth at the expense of the people. There is the potential for much needed changes with this intense planetary configuration, one does not need to look very far to see this already happening!
How can these planetary movements effect one personally? It depends where Uranus and Pluto fall in your chart. Where this is exactly will dictate the level of intensity, chaos or change you are experiencing right now. I know that many of my clients are getting directly effected by this transit. If you’ve been wondering why things have been feeling so intense recently this could be why!
Ondina also does astrology readings if you want to get a clearer idea about how this and other planetary configurations are effecting your world…
