PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY December 1 2025 to December 7 2025 Monday December 1 The Potato Arrives History and the heavens both serve up food for thought today! It's the date when Sir Francis Drake is traditionally said to have brought the potato to British shores - a simple root that became a staple part of our diet. Likewise, with both Saturn and Mercury now direct, the cosmic landscape begins to nourish fresh growth. Plans that felt half-baked can be seasoned with purpose and progress. It's time to plant ideas, trust your timing, and savour the sense that life is moving forwards again. Tuesday December 2 Venus settles into Sagittarius As Venus settles into adventurous Sagittarius, hearts and minds open to wider horizons and higher ideals. It's fitting that today also marks the UN International Day for the Abolition of Slavery - a reminder of our shared duty to seek freedom, dignity, and compassion for all. Mercury and Saturn, now direct, lend clarity and purpose to our intentions, helping words become action and ideals take form. It's time to think bigger, love braver, and stand for what sets every soul free. Wednesday December 3 Dr Christian Barnard As the Super Full Moon in Gemini draws near, hearts and minds pulse with quickened energy. Ideas race, and emotions stir in unexpected ways. On this day in 1967, Christian Barnard performed the world's first human heart transplant - a breath-taking reminder of courage, innovation, and faith in life's possibilities. With Venus in Sagittarius, we're urged to explore what unites rather than divides. Whether through words, compassion, or daring inspiration, if we open our hearts, miracles are possible. Thursday December 4 Santa's Super Moon List Day Under the bright glow of the Super Full Moon in Gemini, curiosity, conversation, and celebration are in full swing! Ideas shimmer and hearts feel a little lighter. It also happens to be Santa's List Day - traditionally a time for children to dream and wish. But why should they have all the fun?! With Venus in Sagittarius, adults too, can craft their own wish lists: not of toys or trinkets, but of hopes, adventures, and connections that truly matter. We're never too old to believe in magic!
