The Holiday Season kicks off with some spectacular gifts from the Heavens. Jupiter has been aligning with the Galactic Center, channeling cosmic energy through his qualities of abundance and joy, faith and optimism. Venus has brought love, beauty, pleasure and harmony to the party. We have been showered with good fortune. What will we make of it?
As we swam in the murky waters of Scorpio all last month, feeling our pain, facing harsh truths and healing wounds, we were being transformed. As Venus and Jupiter united, the Moon was entering its dark phase. Invisible to the eye, yet aflame in sunlight, she has been gathering energy and absorbing strength. The seeds we plant at this potent time will sprout and bloom, and produce more seeds.
The stage is set for the New Moon in Sagittarius. As the crescent Moon appears on Thursday, she will begin to shed her light, and if we are receptive, we will begin to see a bigger picture, a higher truth. Jupiter rules Sagittarius and his qualities broadcast most powerfully from this sign. Since last December, Jupiter has been traversing home terrain, inspiring our faith, nursing our optimism, arousing our joy. It’s all here for the taking.
We are less than two months away from a serious test. 2020 will be a pivotal year. On January 12th, Saturn will conjunct Pluto and we are going to face some serious issues. How we respond to the trials ahead will determine the world of the future. Will we kill our planet? Will we go to war? Will be stoop to violence? Will we stand for what is honorable, true and just? Or will we sink back into apathy and watch our democracy die?
I have been writing to give you support and encouragement, trying to reframe our reality in light of our highest potential. We can create a beautiful future. We’re fully equipped. The planets are giving us the energy we need to attempt something truly heroic – to step into a higher state of consciousness, to consciously evolve! We can no longer ascribe to the beliefs, the values, the darkness that is spreading across our world. We must stand up in all our strength and glory and say “NO!”
But for now, we need to gather our energy and pay attention to its quality. This is where Sagittarius comes in. For the next month, the Sun will beam Sagittarian abundance and optimism, its passion for truth; its quest for divine understanding. These energies can forge the attitude we need to face the future. What I’m saying is that we cannot succumb to negative thinking, not with all this power around. If we hold negative thoughts, if we express negative attitudes, we will be seeding the climate of the future. We will be empowering the lowest vibrations of reality.
If, however, we choose to adopt and maintain an attitude of optimism, if we refuse to accept our fear thoughts, if we seek to aim at the stars to attain our highest potential, we can, and will, bring that future into manifestation. It’s time to step into our Higher Selves. We’ve been procrastinating far too long. Now is the time.
Last night Venus moved into Capricorn and Jupiter will join her on December 2nd. This is the sign in which Saturn and Pluto have been stirring the pot and cooking up a karmic reckoning. Venus will join them on the Full Moon. Jupiter moves much slower and makes everything bigger, so the issues of this year may be magnified next year. But the good news is that every positive seed we plant will also grow. The highest expressions of Capricorn are integrity and mastery. That’s what we need to integrate right now. More on that topic at another time.
This is Thanksgiving week and the spirit of giving thanks will open our hearts so that love and hope may fill them. Today is the New Moon. Take the time to go into the darkness and set clear intentions. Call upon Jupiter and Venus for support. Thank them for their gifts. Gratitude is such a blessing. It has the power to open the heart and transform the world. When we see through the lens of gratitude we experience abundance. And gratitude begets gratitude, meaning that it draws more abundance to us, giving us more to be grateful for. We can practice our gratitude this week and let it build, along with faith.
Speaking of faith, Neptune turns direct in the wee hours on Wednesday. A planet is most powerful when it is stationary. So Neptune’s powers of dreaming and imagination, of spiritual devotion are also beaming down upon us. Thrice blessed! On Thanksgiving Day Mercury will trine Neptune, inspiring our dreams, as well as spiritual aspirations. Hours later Venus trines Uranus – we may experience a loving surprise, or perhaps the freedom to truly enjoy the day, to relish the food cooked by devoted hands and the gathering of loved ones – our soul mates who are trying, just like us, to make sense of it all.
I wish you all a truly loving Thanksgiving. I am taking the rest of the week off to enjoy just living. Next week brings more lessons from the heavens. I’ll share it all.
