This week is a meeting point between celebration and renewed momentum.
Christmas arrives carrying themes of connection, generosity, and remembrance. It invites you to soften, to gather, and to honour what truly matters. Whether your days are filled with company or quiet, this moment asks for presence rather than perfection.
Then, as the week unfolds, the First Quarter Moon in Aries brings a shift. After the stillness of Solstice and the visioning of the Sagittarius New Moon, Aries introduces forward motion. It asks:
What wants to move now?
What spark is ready to be acted on, even in small ways?
This isn't a call to rush. It’s a call to gently re-enter momentum, to let courage stir beneath the blankets of rest and celebration.
Action here can be small but meaningful.
Let warmth and bravery coexist.
Let rest and resolve walk side by side.
✨ Weekly Focus Prompt:
“This week, I carry the light forward with care and courage.”
Hold it close through both celebration and quiet resolve.
🎄 Christmas Ritual: Honour presence and gratitude.
Light a candle before or after your meal
Name three things you are grateful for from this year, especially those that held you through difficulty
If it feels right, dedicate the candle to love, peace, or remembrance
Sit for a moment in stillness, letting gratitude settle into the body
This is enough. Presence is the gift.
🌓 First Quarter Moon in Aries Ritual: Take the first brave step.
Revisit the intention you set under the Sagittarius New Moon
Ask: What is one small action that honours this vision?

Momentum begins with a single, honest step.
