Wishing You The Best Of Happy Holidays
And more, Kooch copyright 2021
Aries: Get out your fiery energy by lighting the Xmas yule log! Or, make the cookies or candy that have been on your holiday to-do list. You only have a little time til someone will ask where you’ve hidden your yummy treats or your spicy mug of love.
Taurus: Venus, the ruler of your sign, loves music. Even if you’re worried that you can’t sing, turn on your favorite jingle bell songs and make your evenings bright. (Don’t pretend that you can’t carry a tune, just sing, sing, sing along.)
Gemini: Use glimmer gloss to soften your voluptuous lips and smile. It will sweeten the moment when you announce to someone that you want the receipt to return their too snug Xmas gift. Better to use your Mercurial discretion and hold back comments like “those colors suck!”
Cancer: It may be time for hot butter rum (if you’re over 21) to mull over your deep ocean of emotions. Nothing warms the frost off your sensitive nature better than reaching for a warm cup of something winter delicious or maybe a kiss.
Leo: It’s never too late to shop til you drop. Let your Sun-fantastic nature take a few minutes to relax, then think about how much money you shouldn’t spend. Don’t be too hard on yourself if (when) you decide to continue shopping. It’s the holidays.
Virgo: Never a time like now to organize your finances, and check to make sure that your spending is aligned just right with your budget. Instead of saying baa-humbug to the expenses of the holidays, focus on having fun with family and friends.
Libra: Inspiration comes to those who sing. Instead of getting lost in by-gone memories, get out a list of holiday songs, and make merry singing your favorite tunes. Now is the time to connect with your inner Venus who is begging to rock out!
Scorpio: If you’re old enough to drink, put an extra shot of Brandy in your eggnog to remove concerns about getting along with relatives coming for the holidays. In a red blink of Mars, Ol St. Nick will be here and gone, and so will your relatives.
Sagittarius: Talk yourself into an expansive mindset to take an inner journey to find undeveloped potentials for celebrating your life. If you’re worried about choices concerning being naughty or nice, just be yourself. You can’t help but be nice.
Capricorn: Is your camera ready to catch your special moments? Better check to make sure that you have everything you need to capture your future holiday memories. Don’t stress the season rush. Make the choice to enjoy the gifts in life.
Aquarius: No time like the holidays to open your heart. You can’t be “the humanitarian of the New Age”, and not share your joy. No pressure, but people are watching and waiting for the light you are known to carry to enlighten dark times.
Pisces: The two fish swimming in life’s up and down currents are known to love poetry and creative arts. This season give yourself the gift of taking time to listen to your inner muses. With ribbons, glue, sparkles, and joy, let yourself create and play!
Astrology
Aries
Open your mind and become more accepting of those who appear to be a bit more ghoulish than you prefer. You might be rewarded with some surprising changes in your alliances with family or friends. Don’t forget to ask your ancestors for guidance.
Taurus
Yes, you can protect your sensitive emotions, even in heated discussions. You may find that cobwebs of anxiety disappear when you’re willing to talk openly about issues that are most important to you, especially if you smile. Invoke an awareness of the triumphs of those who have gone before you.
Gemini
Think in terms of enjoying the unusual and you’ll arrive at a fun place for enjoying Dia De Muerta celebrations. Stay even-minded and even during the gravest of situations, you might see the phantoms of your hopes and wishes coming to life.
Cancer
Decorate your home with some bright colors to chase away spooky moods. Instead of worrying, focus on putting more life into living the good life. A nice little get away with a friend or lover is a good prescription for finding delight.
Leo
Prayers to ancestors can lead to beyond sacred moments. Possibilities are endless for conjuring engaging memories from the digging grounds of the past. A bit of playful make-up, or a “Catrina” hat can add to healing communications and forgiving the mistakes of others.
Virgo
The spirit of love lives inside you, but unrealistic romantic ideals can frightfully obstruct peace of mind. Let emotions flow harmoniously by letting go of the scepter of expectations, and viewing every moment as a miraculous “present” to enjoy.
Libra
Let ghosts from the past plant fertile seeds of optimism for the garden of your life’s growing success. Wear magical amulets and search for opportunities to attract good luck and fulfilling opportunities for fun on your evolving journey.
Scorpio
Relax your mind, breathe deeply, and make a conscious decision to have a bewitching day of wonder. When you believe in your dreams, is it easier to reach for the goals that haunt you as well as uncover treasures in unexpected places.
Sagittarius
Give yourself permission to say “No!” to revisiting painful memories of the past. Make some time to buy some chocolates or sugar skulls to sweeten your sense of dancing with the creative aliveness of everyday life. If your mood is right, light a candle to invoke the spirit of undying and ask for a message from the other side.
Capricorn
Retreating into your home to create an altar to the dead can feel safe, but sometimes it’s important to invoke smiles in the hearts of friends and family. An opportunity to sing with fearless angels is an available for all who believe in living each moment to its fullest.
Aquarius
How can you expect others to understand you if you wear a mask that covers your feelings? Now is a perfect time to say good-by to concerns about complex soul riddles and embrace the fullness of life. Ask your ancestors for their blessings. You just might win an unexpected gift for your efforts.
Pisces
It’s the perfect time to pamper your total self. Say “YES” to opportunities that inspire your song or poetry writing nature and you’ll find excuses to smile more. When you listen to the voice of love inside your heart, decision making becomes easier.

Intuition, Uncategorized
Pet psychics, or cat, dog, or horse whisperers, have an “uncatty” ability to see or hear the thoughts of animals. Some believe that they communicate with an animal by sensing the symbols or pictures that it holds in its mind. With trust in their intuition, a pet psychic will know what an animal is thinking. Or, perhaps an animal will act in a certain way and it gives the reader “a sign”.
Pet owners will often reach out to animal psychics when they’re searching for answers about their furry friends that aren’t explainable by normal means. Some psychics make a very good living with this talent, especially if they take good care of their client’s needs and have positive interactions with their animal.
If you’re curious and think that you’d like to become an animal psychic, have fun and give it a try. When you see a nearby animal, try to sense what it’s feeling. You can intuitively send it a question and see how the animal responds. Or, next time when you visit a zoo, stand in a protected stance near the lion’s cage. Look with your mind’s eye and experiment with communicating intuitively with this magnificent beast. Don’t act anxious or surprised if it tells you that it hopes to eat you for dinner. Just confidently keep walking by.
Lovers of cats (or even turtles) might use Tarot cards or animal spirit oracle cards to read pets and help answer a client’s questions. Such cards have an “uncatty” ability to tune into animal feelings and offer readings that can be “purrrfect.” Today,my randomly selected card for my loyal best friend, Momo, is six of bowls (cups). A card representing sharing the cup of cup, I’m intuiting that she wants me to take her to the beach. Obviously she’s reading me too as she just got up to go.
Aura, Healing, Intuition
Aura cleansing practices can increase your energy and help you clarify what you’re feeling on mental, emotional, and physical levels. With awareness you can release negative feelings that can feel like they’re rocks sitting on your shoulders. Just as you feel the need to jump into the shower when you feel dirty and clean your physical body, your sensing of unwanted energy can give you the incentive to clean your aura.
When you want to clean the vibrational energy surrounding your body, your aura, find your physical center and mentally affirm your healing connection with the earth. Then, start listening to your inner dialogue. What words, feelings, impressions are you communicating to yourself? If you hear a negative mental message in your thoughts, give yourself permission to connect with powerful words that can influence your positive sense of self. Take any thoughts or feelings that disrupt your sense of wellness, and mentally throw them far, far away. Your willingness to clean your aura (even if you want to call on your angels, inner healer, or guides to help) can make your life better.
Three aura cleansing techniques:
#1. While affirming that you cleaning your aura, put your hands with palms facing downward over the crown of your head. As if you are sweeping with a broom, use downward strokes with your hands to sweep out all unwanted, dark or shadowed energy that may be sitting in your aura. As you are sweeping out unwanted energy from the exterior space close to your body, visualize (or verbally acknowledge) a light coming from the center of your palm. Imagine this light as a healing ray coming from within your third eye, and flowing down your arms into your palms. Continue this sweeping motion until you feel an increase sense of positive energy.
#2. When you’re washing your physical body use a salt scrub to remove vibrational energy. Verbally state your aura cleansing intention, and send any unwanted or negative energy down the drain. Your self-dialogue can help you reduce stress and replace anxiety with optimism.
#3. Smudging your body with sage is another way to clean energy from your aura. Sage and cedar are most often the herbs used for this practice. Connect with your voice of wisdom to raise the healing / electrical frequencies in your aura.
Always affirm your positive intentions and proclaim that you are protecting, healing, and enhancing your energy. After doing any of these practices your aura will be shining with a brighter light.

Past Events
First New Moon in 2021 sits in the Sun sign of Capricorn, the Goat. Capricorn is linked with the planet Saturn, karma, lessons to be learned, hard work, money making, and morality.
FINDING COURAGE IN UNCERTAIN TIMES Finding courage to meet the challenges in present times is important to all. Personally I feel the political chaos and Covid tensions in the pit of my stomach as burly knots.
If you’ve been listening to current negative dialogues on social media and the news, and wondering what’s coming next, you’re not alone. Sifting through unknowns to find the truth in current affairs is a consuming process. What can we do? Is it possible to recreate the good life?
Amma, the hugging saint from India, says to keep our inner flame of hope burning and let it bring light to the world. Being a Libra, I find myself balancing worldly concerns with my desire to follow Her advice. Taking a little time (or a lot) to meditate can certainly support feelings of optimism. Another tool in the self-preservation arsenal is the focus on positive affirmations.
