George and I continue our conversation about the process of surviving life after hockey.

Learning coping skills and finding a support system are keys to rebounding from life's obstacle course. Through acknowledging that some things are out of our control, we can stay resilient in the face of adversity.

With additional focus on a new job that George received through his @nextshifthockey.com podcast, he is on his way to helping other athletes like himself 'shift' into a new career.

Through coaching youth hockey, George has also found joy again through sharing his love of hockey with the new generations. Reflections thus come naturally when surrounded by his past memories of playing for pure joy as a kid.

*Join us next week as George shares his plans for the future.*

Today's Gemini moon prepares to go full tomorrow evening; and thus sets the stage for a very busy weekend full of communications with everyone, but specifically friends and family.

Jupiter meets up with the moon and Sun -spurring on optimism and hope.

After the meeting with Pluto, Venus in Capricorn now prepares to hibernate from 12/19/21 - 1/29/22 causing us all to dig deeply into our inner lives, homes, money matters, and happiness goals with the goat's practical long term nature to help us all.

Also on the 19th, Chiron the comet wakes up from its long hibernation since June in Aries, where it will push us to have more confidence in our lives.

The moon also will have moved into Cancer by the 19th, supporting our need to cocoon in our homes.

*Personal happiness goals are at the forefront -so visualizing your needs and wants are very important right now.*

Taurus moon stays until this afternoon while spatting with Jupiter on its way into Gemini- pointing to a crisis of wanting more than we can possibly attain.

Sun also spats with Saturn -setting a serious turn towards our ego to perform sensibly at practical mundane chores.

*Meditate today on clearing your mind of excesses that must be purged in order to move into the new year.*

Taurus moon continues to help us take things slowly as it meets up with Mars later, pushing for changes that we may not want to acknowledge.

Tension can mount if we can not see the detriment this can cause us if we do not change.

If we can harness this into a creative long term plan, we may be able to find joy in pursuing the results.

*Manifest your ideal visions today to induce happiness and confidence to pursue them.*

Hello Tuesday as the Taurus moon emotionally slows down our needs for action, and to stay balanced after the Aries moon blew in over the weekend.

Later Saturn in Aquarius spats with the moon, causing instability with our long term goals for ourselves versus others.

*Great day to focus on the positives in our lives that give us a stable and happy life.*

December's Golden Guest is George Hughes -a co-founder of the Next Shift Hockey podcast. 

George shares his personal journey of healing mentally, physically, and emotionally after playing professional hockey and transiting into his 'next shift' in life.

As the pandemic hit and jobs were discontinued, George found himself having to restart again after working at NBC for five years.

Thus, fate led George to start the Next Shift Hockey podcast with two brothers. to help other former hockey players at all levels to share their stories of 'life after hockey'. podcasting with hockey players/guests who have had to also start over. From the famous to the intramural hockey players-young and old- guests share very personal uplifting life changing stories that have made this podcast a ground breaker in their hockey 'niche'.

*Join us next week as George continues sharing his inspirational story.*        

It's a beautiful day for business as Pisces moon dreams big while Mars in Scorpio is able to push through the grind.

Big news over the weekend as Venus moves in for a walk with Pluto in Capricorn to bring us motivation for long term changes to our finances, home life, family, and friends.

Mercury moves into Capricorn on Dec. 13th and brings with it added  practical strength to our mental and verbal communications.

Mars will be moving into Sagittarius spurring us to travel and enlarge our horizons.

*Relax during this weekend in order to prepare for the fire energy of Mars in Sagittarius the next couple of weeks making for a sparkling holiday season.*

Today's a beautiful day for getting out and socializing for pleasure or work.

Sun and Mercury in Sagittarius meets up with the Aquarius moon, making for some fun times to pursue educational quirky theories.

Watch out for the Sun and Jupiter spatting and throwing you off your mental game with overblown expectations.

*Visualize your ideal wish and make sure its precise and not vague; then manifest by working towards that ideal picture in your mind with a realistic approach.*

Today we remember Pearl Harbor and how enemies can eventually become friends, after years and years of misunderstandings. Learning about each other's cultures will always help diplomacy.

As America decides to diplomatically boycott the Winter Olympics in China, the world duly recognizes that we as a planet must work together for human rights and climate change. 

War and conquering of other smaller nations in order to rob their natural resources and annihilate cultures can no longer exist in the human paradigm, if we are to leave stable legacies for the future inhabitants of our planet.

The build up towards the Ukraine by Russian troops also mocks other countries' abilities to stop the destruction of those smaller weaker nation.

As Neptune wakes up, we are disoriented and must focus quickly on the subterfuge being created by those who are power hungry to gain control in this new decade and century.

*Focus on seeing through the veil of illusion by using your integrity to guide your intuition and wisdom towards the truth. Do not be fooled by the usual banal provincial words and actions.*
