It's a Good Time to:

  • Map out the steps toward a goal, with daily routine in mind.
  • Spend time alone, like taking a walk or reading.
  • Resolve to be a born again virgin, and make sex sacred again.
  • Take steps to improve your diet, cutting out toxins.
  • Spend time caring for a child, the elderly or an animal in need.
  • Set aside time each day to practice toward a goal.
  • Organize your desk, garage, closet, bookshelf.
  • Write letters or postcards.
  • Take care of business that involves fine print.
  • Research or edit
  • Attend a literary event.

Special Note for 2011:

The urgent tension of birthing is underway, and this is a very pliable/fluid moment. Take charge of your own awakening, and avoid falling into panic/hysteria. Find a new grounding, in both nature, and the cosmos. Simplify. Live naturally, and disengage from unnatural habits.
