Prepare to welcome 2012 by focusing on completions of all kinds to end the year with a full energetic out breath. With a week left till the New Year, it's time to wipe the slate clean of all unfinished business, things that may be keeping you off balance, throwing you off your game.

These include communications, projects, even closet cleaning. Your incompletions might also consist of feelings you haven't expressed (throat chakra issues), appreciations you haven't delivered and acknowledgment of the many gifts you’ve been given this year (heart chakra issues).

Once you've completed old business, you'll be opening creative space for the New Year.

Watching the early pre-dawn sky today, a lovely waning moon rose with its bright white lower left crescent and the surprising addition of an arc of light cast up across the lower sphere of the moon. A lovely symbol of closure for 2011 ... with a suggestion of impending renewal and hope for promising changes ahead.

Here's to your new manifestations in the year ahead. To stay in balance, try listening to my 10-minute chakra meditation daily.

Namaste!
