Happy New Year

♏ SCORPIO (October 23-November 21)
Climate change is proceeding with such speed in central Mexico that entire forests are in danger of perishing. In the hills near Ejido La Mesa, for instance, the weather is getting too hot for the fir trees that shelter millions of monarch butterflies every fall. In response, local people have joined with scientists to physically move the fir forest to a higher, cooler elevation. What might be your personal equivalent, Scorpio: an ambitious plan to carry out an idealistic yet practical project? According to my analysis of your astrological potentials, you'll have a lot of energy to work on such a scheme in 2021.

I do seem to have more energy right now. My daughter and I are decluttering my house, which takes a tremendous amount of energy: the regrets are even more tiring than the dust. I went through a box of baby books, for example, and took a bunch that were still nice enough to give to my boss, who has a baby and doesn't have a close relationship with her family of origin. It was good to give, and good to remember sharing them with my own children, but I also had to remember how much I wanted another baby then, and how much I want a grandchild now.

I signed up for some reading challenges, and for Get Your Words Out. I want to do those things but they don't feel like "an ambitious plan to carry out an idealistic yet practical project." I think my idealistic yet practical project is just tending my garden.
