CHRISTMAS ASTROLOGY AND MESSAGE:
Pleased Holidays! I really like all of the cultures and the vacations, and it’s auspicious that the Jewish Pageant of Lights and Hanukkah falls on Christmas Day for the primary time since 2005, and it’ll not occur once more till 2035 because of the Jewish Lunar Calendar, which provides a leap month 7 occasions each 19 years. Whereas there may be nonetheless no peace within the Center East with Houthis of Yemen sending hyper-sonic missiles onto Israel, there may be hope for Gaza coming to an finish, and Syria is a miracle and in addition Lebanon.
We’re transferring towards the New Moon on Monday, Dec. 30, within the constellation of Purva Shadha (Sagittarius 13.20-26.40). I all the time really feel that the New Moon after the Winter Solstice round Christmas is a rebirth time. The daylight after the Winter Solstice solely will increase seconds at first, however normally, inside just a few weeks, we discover that the sunshine on the planet is beginning to develop once more. When the Solar enters Capricorn on Jan. 13-14, it brings the brand new enterprise 12 months with the Vacation of Makara Sankranti, advertising the Solar’s motion within the East Sky.
Saturn squares Jupiter with a 75% side precisely on Dec. 24, and this vitality could diminish a few of Jupiter’s Christmas Pleasure and growth. Nevertheless, Jupiter opposes Mercury on Christmas Day, bringing some vitality for Mercury, the jokester, though Saturn shortly takes it away on Dec. 27 with a precise sq. from Saturn. It will seem that Virgos and Geminis could expertise essentially the most ups and downs this week.
Venus strikes into Aquarius on Saturday, Dec. 28, till Jan. 27, igniting creativity, scientific invention, and innovation for the subsequent month. Lastly, on Dec. 28, the plague of Saturn conjunct Ketu within the D9 Navamsha chart will finish as Saturn strikes into a brand new constellation, Purvabhadrapada (Aquarius 20-Pisces 3.20). The primary a part of the journey is in Aries Navamsha, the place Saturn is debilitated, so post-Christmas nervousness will return till early Feb. 2nd. So you could preserve the Vata aspect down, not run round like a rabbit, and drink your calming natural teas.
Fortunately, Mercury doesn’t return into the troubled Gandanta till Jan. 2-Fifth, when emotional karma must be unraveled. There may be sufficient of that to take care of throughout household time.
Prepare for Mars to exit of bounds Jan. 1- Apr. 7, and that may put motion and vitality into hyperspeed. That is the primary time since 2010 that it’s out of bounds in Most cancers, and we are going to write extra about this. It isn’t only a Western astrological idea, as the traditional Vedic seers did take a look at this and used it of their superior calculations.
Shifting into the New 12 months, we have to deal with the optimistic. Nevertheless, regardless of vital conflicts on the planet nonetheless in Ukraine, we sense some easing and saner minds are within the background, countering the forces of darkness that proceed to need to march us into extra concern about nuclear wars and catastrophes. There may be a lot we are able to do in our communities to make a distinction for folks experiencing homelessness and with native meals financial institution donations, and this has to proceed all 12 months and never simply by the Christmas season. There are good folks in every single place, and there are extra of them than these caught up in darkness. Bear in mind to make a distinction in somebody’s life; we’re right here to be sort and loving and to not cower in concern, ready for the subsequent shoe to drop.
I really like this excellent message from Yogananda in regards to the Start of Christ at Christmas, and it jogs my memory of the necessity for rebirth at the moment of 12 months. No matter faith you’re linked to, the significance of rebirth of our interior Divinity and the Solar within the constellation of Mula (Sagittarius 0-13.20) is consistently reminding us of our want for liberation and transferring off the wheel of karma:
Paramahansa Yogananda:Daily, each hour, each golden second, Christ has been knocking… Now, on this august sacred daybreak, Christ is particularly coming in reply to your interior name, to awaken his Christ Consciousness Omnipresence inside you.
This Christ of All over the place is sleeping within the breast of Eternity; He likes to take new beginning at any time, wherever, particularly within the heat of your true affection. Although the Infinite Christ is current in each speck of house because the splendor of ever new knowledge and artistic expression, you possibly can by no means see Him until He chooses to be seen within the cradle of your unceasing devotion. The comfy crib of your coronary heart has for a really very long time been small, holding self-love alone; now you could make it monumental, in order that social, nationwide, worldwide, and Cosmic Christ-love could also be born there and change into One Love.
The Infinite Christ is in every single place; worship His nativity in Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, Moslem, Jewish, and different true non secular temples. Each expression of Fact flows from the All-pervading Christ notion, so be taught to worship that sacred Common Intelligence in each pure faith, perception, and instructing. For the reason that Cosmic Christ dreamed into existence the divine being that’s man, you must have fun the beginning of Christ in your newly woke up equal love for each nationality and race.
