December includes a wide variety of multicultural Holiday celebrations: Hanukkah; Christmas; Bodhi Day; Kwanzaa; Yule; Omisoka; the Winter Solstice, just to name a few! Spiritual gifts are sweet ways to honor the season and your awesomely diverse friends and family. The picture above is one of our original photos of Taos Mountain, a very spiritual and sacred place to many.
A cute reminder to stay positive, this hand stamped ring will appeal to all spirit junkies.
A unique present for the modern mystic on your list: a gift box full of treats to purify and soothe the body and soul.
This angel tea light holder is lovely, charming, and perfect for a mantel or altar.
This Star of David candle holder is handmade with African Walnut wood with a mirror and darkened glass to create an effect of infinite candles. The Star of David is one of Israel’s greatest symbols, and it also stands for the point of balance between male and female.
These mala beads are hand-knotted with amazonite and rose quartz stone beads. Amazonite repels negative energy and rose quartz lets the love in.
Hand pressed with eco-friendly ink, the vintage style namaste hands t-shirt is cool and flattering.
A sweet little gift for a loved one is this hand carved rainbow obsidian heart, and it’s only $24!
A wonderful Yule gift is this tree ornament of a Celtic cross. The knotwork design was burned into the surface of the wood by hand.
Good vibes only! This ceramic coffee mug is a great present for spiritual gangsters.
Perfect gift to lift anyone’s spirit: an adorable jar filled with inspirational and encouraging quotes written on brightly colored paper.
Astro-Vibe of the week:
This week begins with a harmonious sextile between Mars in Aquarius and Uranus in Aries. It’s a good time to gather with your exciting and unusual friends and family. Be open to new allies that can help expand your personal life, and possibly your world views. The Sagittarius Sun brings more previews of the Jupiter in Libra opposition to Uranus in Aries, happening around Christmas. On Friday (12/9), the Sun sextiles Jupiter, a jovial transit that should raise spirits all weekend. It’s also a “lucky” transit that brings opportunities from cultivating a positive attitude. The Sun will be in a blazing fire trine with Uranus over the weekend that culminates on Sunday (12/11). The energy will be charged, so it’s best to do something active, spontaneous, and mind expanding ~ another good time to get together with your more adventurous and boundary-pushing friends!
The moon is in the second quarter this week, building towards full next Tuesday (12/13). Right now is the phase to bring short term projects to completion that were started a week ago when the moon was new. The Sun will conjunct Saturn this Saturday (12/10), which helps give us the focus and discipline to wrap things up. Also on Saturday, Mercury will be in a harmonious sextile with Neptune, which stimulates the imagination and increases sensitivity, sometimes to the point of intuition becoming psychic. This energy is especially good for exploring spiritual, mystical, and metaphysical matters. Mercury is entering the “shadow” period, getting ready to go retrograde from December 19th to January 8th. As we mentioned in a previous post, this shadow period will bring hints from the Universe to show the challenges that’ll appear when Mercury is retrograde. Listen to your intuition and “gut instincts”, and tie up loose ends regarding transportation, communication, appointments, and any documents that need to be signed.
