That Rainy Day

I should have saved those leftover dreams
Funny but here's that rainy day
Here's that rainy day
They told me about
And I laughed at the thought
That it might turn out this way
Where is that worn out wish
That I threw aside
After it brought my love so near...
Funny that rainy day is here.
               -Jimmy Van Heusen, as sung by Frank Sinatra

Some of you may remember when Johnny Carson left the Tonight Show and Sagittarian Bette Midler sang him a bittersweet good-bye with the torch standard Here's That Rainy Day.  This month's New Moon in Sagittarius, a forward-looking sign, along with Mercury and Mars still retrograde, grants us the rainy-day opportunity to take out that folder or box of ideas we've been keeping for "when we get around to it" and envision what we really want to see in our future.  Not just what we think we should do, or what we routinely get caught up in doing, but in the big picture, what we want to do. It's a good month to draw out the important strands of meaning from our recent experience, to savor a stack of reading or magazines we may have been piling up, and to draw, paint, photograph or hold steadily in our mind's eye the next images we want to appear on our life's canvas.

Though Sagittarian optimists such as Bette Midler and Frank Sinatra ultimately represent hope in the future through aiming high and reaching for lofty targets, it's only through slowing down and sorting through attempts from the past and sparkling inklings of what's to come that our aim toward the future becomes true.  Sagittarian activities that may appeal this month:  Speak your truth more warmly and directly, take a hike out-of-doors, practice archery or darts, watch a funny movie (Elf with Will Ferrell or Holiday Inn with Bing Crosby come to mind), or sit down to explore a map, atlas or Travel channel presentation and imagine the wonders of a far away place.  

Each day under the rays of the beneficent Jupiter-ruled New Moon in an adjustment aspect to Mars in Taurus becomes an opportunity to value ourselves more deeply, and savor the chance we'll have in 2006 to create anew.

Happy holidays, everyone.
