The world is wonderfully filled with everything wonderful.
Our season of gratitude is beginning along with our season (5 months) of retrogrades.
And so…
Today is our first Mercury retrograde day.
Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius (with Jupiter retrograde in Gemini). A wonderful non coincidence in the heavens! There are no coincidences actually. Everything in proper rhythmic order.
And so…
Mercury retrograde in Sag begins our season of retrogrades, which will continue thru May of 2025. Mars will retrograde Friday, Dec. 6, at 6 degrees Leo. Advent, along with our holidays along with the beginning of the new year – all in the retrogrades! It is a deeply internal time, preparing us for what is yet to be!

Read Night Light News before it changes Wednesday or Thursday. It’s about the “cleansing of the stables”, the Aquarian task, which is pertinent to our times now in our country.
And so…today is Tuesday, Mars rules, guards & guides us today.
November 26, 2024, our week & time & season of gratitude beginning.

Today’s transits.
Libra (3) moon, Sagittarius (4, 5, 6) Sun, Rays 3, 4, 5, 6!
Venus (5) inconjunct retrograde Jupiter (2) –
In Capricorn/Gemini. Cap (1, 3, 7). Gemini (2).
Note the multiple Rays today in our world.
We can’t see them yet.
But we can know about them.
Early churches build the knowledge of these rays into their churches by installing stained glass for windows. Churches are healing centers, the Sun shining through the colored window panes/glass are the healing Rays from the Big Dipper with their healing properties. We have forgotten this.

So, with the multiple Rays today.
With Venus/Jupiter, With Sag & Cap & Gemini –
With Ray 3 of Libra – Active Intelligence/Actions.
Intelligent Love & Loving Intelligence.
We are willing (Ray 1) to anchor (Ray 7) into our worlds.

We display, offer, radiate intelligent love today and loving intelligence. A combination of radiatory (odd rays are the knowledge rays) & receptive (even rays are the love/wisdom rays) rays today.
The colors –
Ray 1 is white (containing all the colors).
It is also fiery ruby red.
Ray 2 is indigo blue.
Ray 3 is emerald green.
Ray 4 is golden amber yellow.
Ray 5 is golden citrine or topaz or a fire opal orange.
Ray 6 is sky or light sapphire or turquoise blue,
Ray 7 is amethyst violet.

Wearing these colors with purpose, wearing them in clothing or in gems & jewels, links us to the Seven Rays in the Big Dipper & to the planets, stars, Sun & Moon, to the Pleiades & to Sirius. Everything is under one or more of the Rays. In our school, should we ever have a real building on land, this would be a many month’s study, applying the Rays to history, to countries, nations, to events, to ourselves & our astrology. Someday…our contemporary School of Athens will appear in form & matter.
Til then…this is where we are. Together. love, Risa

A time of inner spiritual preparatory work.
For the new era ahead.
And so…
Today is Sunday, November 24, 2024.
Day of rest & day of preparation for tomorrow’s Mercury retrograde & for Thursday’s Thanksgiving – giving thanks, having appreciation, offering gratitude which are all nurturing ways of celebrating Thanksgiving –

Virgo (2/6) Moon today, Sagittarius (4, 5, 6) Sun today.
Virgo is Rays 2/6 & Sagittarius is Rays 4, 5, 6.
Offering Love, Harmony, Intelligence & Service to one another.
That’s what the rays are today.
And so…
Later today Night Light News will be updated.
Since Pluto entered Aquarius it feels like everything has changed.
Or not working, or shifted, or emptied itself our, or is blank or we can’t do it anymore, or the feeling of “let’s go” becomes more & more apparent. It will be, is beginning to be a whole new world now, new vibrations, new element, new everything.
But for a while as the new begins to make itself known, we will have retrogrades – to remember things before everything dissolves & transforms. We will begin with Mercury retro tomorrow night (23 Sag). Then Mars retro follows next Friday, December 6th (6 degrees Leo). In December Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune (for one week) & Chiron will be retrograde. And we will being the new year 2025 with these retrogrades.
Mars will retrograde (6 Leo) til February 23rd (back to 29 Cancer).
Then Venus will begin its retrograde (March 1 – April 15, 2025).
The degrees for Venus Retro are from 10 Aries back to 24 Pisces.

Simultaneously to the Venus retro….& in the same signs & degrees, a most interesting situation!
Mercury begins its first 2025 retrograde March 14 – April 6 2025.
From 9 Aries to 26 Pisces.
I will write more about these celestial retrograde events as they occur. For now, the information is that we are entering a long retrograde state, stage & zone of remembrance. Before we being to zoom forward in the spring (May) of next year.
The retrogrades are good for humanity – retrogrades are times of assessment, of reflection & contemplation, a time of releasing that which is no longer necessary or usable. And these retrogrades help us gaze in into the past. Discern what is useful & good from our past & then as the retrogrades becomes direct again, we bring all that is good, & offer it to the present future, to the new era we are all responsible for creating.

And so how is this useful now?
For those who have their astrology chart, we can chart the retrogrades on our charts – locating the signs & degrees & then the areas of our lives where the retrogrades will be affecting us.
Then we don’t resist the changes or reflections, we understand them, their function & purpose & we begin to WORK WITH the Lords of the stars, planets, Sun & moon.

And so it is! love, Risa
