1. Hero’s Journey

‘I love basking in the warmth of my family,’ muses Kit, ‘but something’s missing. Hmmn, since I moved back home, I haven’t constructed any treehouses, caught any fish, let alone produce a starring vehicle. I’m off my game. In fact, I haven’t done much of anything. Could it be these wonderful people hold me back from expressing my inner light? Or, perhaps, nestled in the bosom of my family, I’m too complacent to achieve my full potential, which we all know is enormous?’

This Christmas Full Moon is provoking some serious questions regarding the disparity between home and career. While the Moon, representing the emotions, is in the warm, nurturing, homey sign of Cancer, the Sun, indicating our inner drive and desire to shine, is in the status seeking, career sector of Capricorn. Oftentimes, it is difficult to meld the two. Adding fuel to the ‘I want to make my mark on the world’ philosophy, Uranus, the planet of individuation is stationing direct, imbuing the masses with an egocentric need for autonomy.

As the co-ruler of this Full Moon, responsible Saturn, in the philosophical sign of Sagittarius, is also promoting freedom, expansion, and the pursuit of individual exploration.

‘Listen up people. After pie, I’m out of here! The winds of change are tickling my ears. I shall heed the call for re-invention and begin my quest for self-realization. But first I will fortify with two pieces of that yummy pie!’
