Aepril's Astrology Oracle Dec 16-17: your greatest self

Rebirth - created by ponti55. www.pxleyes.com/photoshop-pictures/rebirth/

Mercury is closing in on the Pluto/Uranus square, setting the stage for some clearing of the air. Tensions that have been building may come up to be discussed. Mercury rules communication, and the Uranus/Pluto square is about major change. It may be that our (self-)concepts are only now getting caught up with the changes that have already occurred within us. 

We're gearing up for a few major celestial events: The Solstice on the 21st, and the Cancer Full Moon on the 25th--at which time all the major planets go forward.

In the Northern Hemisphere the Solstice is the rebirth of the Sun, and therefore it is a time of renewal. This newborn Sun will then oppose the Moon in the sign of the Great Mother, when She will reflect His light in Her Full powers. This is a time when we can shed the old ideas about who we are, who we've been, what we've always done...etc...and allow ourselves to be bigger and brighter. We ourselves can be reborn. 

These days leading up to this culmination and forward motion of energies could be well spent in reflection. We have a great opportunity to manifest what we envision and believe. 

If you could imagine your greatest, most actualized and aligned self, what might s/he look like? Feel like? Believe? What posture might s/he hold? What could you be doing moment by moment, right now,  that could bring you closer to being this self? How might you step into this projection of your best self?
