CHRISTMAS ASTROLOGY AND MESSAGE:
Completely satisfied Holidays! I like all of the cultures and the vacations, and it’s auspicious that the Jewish Competition of Lights and Hanukkah falls on Christmas Day for the primary time since 2005, and it’ll not occur once more till 2035 as a result of Jewish Lunar Calendar, which provides a leap month 7 instances each 19 years. Whereas there’s nonetheless no peace within the Center East with Houthis of Yemen sending hyper-sonic missiles onto Israel, there’s hope for Gaza coming to an finish, and Syria is a miracle and likewise Lebanon.
We’re shifting 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 a couple of 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 yr with the Vacation of Makara Sankranti, advertising the Solar’s motion within the East Sky.
Saturn squares Jupiter with a 75% facet precisely on Dec. 24, and this power might diminish a few of Jupiter’s Christmas Pleasure and growth. Nevertheless, Jupiter opposes Mercury on Christmas Day, bringing some power for Mercury, the jokester, though Saturn rapidly takes it away on Dec. 27 with an actual sq. from Saturn. It could seem that Virgos and Geminis might expertise probably 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 anxiousness will return till early Feb. 2nd. So you need to preserve the Vata ingredient 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’s sufficient of that to cope with throughout household time.
Prepare for Mars to exit of bounds Jan. 1- Apr. 7, and that can put motion and power 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 have a look at this and used it of their superior calculations.
Transferring into the New 12 months, we have to give attention to the constructive. Nevertheless, regardless of important conflicts on this 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 worry about nuclear wars and catastrophes. There’s a lot we will do in our communities to make a distinction for individuals experiencing homelessness and with native meals financial institution donations, and this has to proceed all yr and never simply by the Christmas season. There are good individuals 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 variety and loving and to not cower in worry, ready for the subsequent shoe to drop.
I like this excellent message from Yogananda concerning the Start of Christ at Christmas, and it jogs my memory of the necessity for rebirth presently of yr. No matter faith you’re related to, the significance of rebirth of our internal Divinity and the Solar within the constellation of Mula (Sagittarius 0-13.20) is continually reminding us of our want for liberation and shifting off the wheel of karma:
Paramahansa Yogananda:
Day-after-day, each hour, each golden second, Christ has been knocking… Now, on this august sacred daybreak, Christ is particularly coming in reply to your internal name, to awaken his Christ Consciousness Omnipresence inside you.
This Christ of In all places is sleeping within the breast of Eternity; He likes to take new delivery 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 except 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 need to make it monumental, in order that social, nationwide, worldwide, and Cosmic Christ-love could also be born there and develop 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 Reality flows from the All-pervading Christ notion, so study to worship that sacred Common Intelligence in each pure faith, perception, and educating. Because the Cosmic Christ dreamed into existence the divine being that’s man, you need to rejoice the delivery of Christ in your newly woke up equal love for each nationality and race.
