As we move from one year and one decade to the next, the series Today by On Kawara seemed appropriate.  He started this series on January 4, 1966 and worked on in for 48 years.  His Date Paintings are monochromatic canvas of red, blue or dark gray with the date in white, and composed in the language of the place he was in on that date.  The paintings took several hours following a meticulous process, and if it was not finished by midnight, he destroyed it.  He made a cardboard storage box with each painting that usually was lined with the local newspaper.  And he grabbed his titles from these newspapers, what was happening historically or personally.

Looking at the series, the viewer realizes that the dates picked (sometimes three paintings in one day) do not follow a pattern.  This series and his others nudge us to contemplate space and time as constructs.  That we all feel time flow differently therefore experience space and time individually.  So, as 2019 leaves us and 2020 rolls in…maybe we should reflect not on the time we spend but how and who we spend it with.

P.S. Remember signs with an * it a big week for you.  Capricorn this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year.  And Cancer it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading for a check in now is the time.

Aries

Ace of Cups – During this intermediary time and space this energy nudges you to contemplate emotional beginnings.  This is a great week to start new relationships or take a relationship to the next level.  Share the love you have with the lens for relationships to grow they must have a solid foundation to grow in and the freshness of air and water to sustain them.

Taurus

Eight of Coins – As the years switch your contemplation is around mastering your skills.  You have achieved much this past year.  Going forward is less about learning something new and more about fine tuning skills or projects you already have mastered.  What do you want to work on in the coming year? What do you want to take to the next level.

Gemini

*Devil – As you transition from one year to the next, the cards have you look at how you successfully passed tests of 2019, and contemplating if you had to be tested on something for 2020 what would it be.  You see once you pass a test you do not have to do it again.  Contemplate the freedom of that.

Cancer

Ten of Wands – Your transitional contemplation is the area of burden.  What do you carry that you do not have to?  Does the sense of obligation, expectation or ego make you do more than you need to?   You do not need to do it all in 2020.

Leo

Ace of Swords – As the world turns for another year the cards have you pondering.  Pondering is great if you are learning, communicating and making decision.  The time for pondering for pondering sake is done.  In 2020 new thought moving to new action is required.

Virgo

Eight of Wands – Your transitional mediation is around information.  When you look back what information do you load your quiver with for the coming year. And then with that information what positive outcomes would you launch into 2020.  What would be the prize at the end of those arrows arc?  Shoot for the stars.

Libra

Nine of Coins – This transitional week’s contemplation is about prosperity and isolation.  For the sign that is all about relationships, this is a come to Jesus moment that you do better work with fewer people around. And if this is impossible your mediation is on creating a sacred space where you can prosper and have control on who gets in for 2020.

Scorpio

Two of Swords – This transitional energy for your musing is about making decisions.  What decisions would you have changed last year or didn’t make because you felt you didn’t know which was the right one?  With that information, in 2020 make decisions that go more for how you want to feel and less about the outcome or goal.

Sagittarius

Four of Swords – Did you get enough sleep?  Are you eating well?  Have you taken care of yourself?  These are the questions that you need to contemplate in this transitional period.  In 2020 you will need to be in tip top shape, but it is up to you to take the time to take care of your body, mind and spirit.

Capricorn

Six of Swords – The energy during this transition of time is about simplification.  2020 will hold a lot of motion and for you to sail smoothly, you need to carry less cargo and have a narrower focus.  Your contemplation is around what do you need that is vital to you going forward and put your energy into that.

Aquarius

Two of Cups – Your interim contemplation is around harmony and cooperation in your close relationships and with yourself.  Do you feel like your relationships were emotional balanced in 2019? Was there enough romance?  If yes or no feeding those bonds of love are vital.  You all tend to pull back or stay in the air to cope and concentrate.  Love is what grounds you.  Invest in it in 2020.

Pisces

*Hanged Man – Your contemplation is the concept of suspension.  Are you ever truly inert? Is there a mind-space where you can stop your thoughts?  Can you just be?  Why does the feeling of not “going” bother you?  Can you find peace in a moment? Just think, if you allowed yourself the time, space and belief to brainstorm, ponder and think outside the box, what 2020 might feel like. Meditation is the key to 2020.

May light be on you, around you, and within you,
