“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.

Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re Doing Something.

So that’s my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody’s ever made before. Don’t freeze, don’t stop, don’t worry that it isn’t good enough, or it isn’t perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.

Whatever it is you’re scared of doing, Do it.

Make your mistakes, next year and forever.”

Neil Gaiman

Happy New Year’s Eve! The Pisces moon sextiles the sun in Capricorn early today and meets Neptune later this evening. Here we are at the end of the year, a time when we’re naturally feeling thoughtful. As the moon makes aspects today, make time for self-reflection. Look back at how far you’ve come, where you want to go next, and what you want to bring forth.

It may be the end of the year, but we are in a new cycle now, and there are lucrative, tangible opportunities opening up. This is a chance to dive deep within yourself to clarify a vision for your life.

As the moon meets Neptune, the mood is dreamy, magical, and intuitive, at best. But with Neptune, not all is always as it seems. If there’s a sense of confusion, be patient until the fog clears. Seek clarity and depth and you won’t get swept away in an illusion.

On a more surface level, it is New Year’s Eve, and with the moon meeting Neptune, the party begins early! Not to dampen your spirits, but it could be easy to go overboard. Drink and indulge responsibly!

Our curiosity is increased today which could lead us astray or cloud our vision. Nonetheless, today’s intuitive strength may offer us the ability to extricate ourselves from whatever situations are created by the unbridled curiosity. Our curiosity, energy, and strong sense of freedom are not likely to last very far into the New Year. However, the feeling of freedom may feed powerful inspiration — whether or not it is well-grounded or actually well suited for follow-through. Ultimately, it does seem as though we end this year with a deep sense of responsibility and a dawning awareness that we must find some way to move towards a more compassionate and nurturing approach to our world.
