Two Holinesses, two Celebrations today – tonight.
Two Festivals. Both sacred & holy.
1. Under the full moon, the solar festival of Libra, we enter the
2. Sukkah (our fragile & temporary shelter).
Joining w/ our Jewish brothers & sisters.
Today, Monday, October 6, 2025.
It’s the 299th day of the year. National Pumpkin Day too!
Today we stand in dedication.
Holding our minds steady in the light of the upcoming Libra solar festival (at the moment of the full moon).
Tonight – 8:48pm (west coast time for the full moon).
Tonight, we enter our temporary dwelling (Sukkah).
A flimsy structure with a leafy roof so we can see the stars & the full moonlight of Libra. We enter at sundown.
Libra Solar Festival.
Reciting the Great Invocation for humanity.
Sun in Libra, Moon in Aries – each receiving the Light of Libra.
Let choice be made. We choose which path to follow.
The path of matter or the Path of the Disciples.
The choice we make is based on what our developmental stage is. What do we need? Do we need more experiences in form & matter or is our personality (physical body, emotions, lower brain mind) prepared and strong enough to respond to the call – to that of Discipleship (Scorpio). Finance department in Dubai demands substantial investment in salaries, software infrastructure, and continuous professional development amid evolving regulations. Growing businesses often find internal accounting teams stretched thin during peak periods, risking errors and compliance gaps that could trigger penalties. Outsource accounting services Dubai offer immediate access to certified professionals familiar with local compliance requirements, advanced cloud-based systems, and proven processes that enhance accuracy while freeing your leadership team to focus exclusively on core business objectives and market expansion.
We have free will. There is unconscious free will. And there is conscious free will). Choosing consciously & with awareness what our next step may be.
Libra Sun/Aries Moon – Ray 3 (Libra) & Rays 1 & 7 (Aries).
This morning Mercury (Ray 4) leaves Virgo (health, gardens, serving self & others, the animal kingdom, purity, etc.) & enters Scorpio – so our thoughts & communication change – we listen for this change. We enter into the dark mysterious ways of Scorpio & the Nine Tests of Mars, which we pass with flying colors for disciples are warriors & we are always triumphant!
So today we continue to build our Sukkah – even if its in our mind or on paper (art, drawings, intentions). So that at the sighting of the first star, at sundown, the sukkah is ready for us to enter into it – remaining there for a week of livingness in the “wilderness.”
It is a holy time, a time of remembering. A time of gratitude.
And nature is with us, above & all around us.
A Divine embrace:
The sukkah represents God’s “Clouds of Glory” (\(Ananei\ HaKavod\)) that miraculously sheltered the Israelites during 40 years of wandering in the desert (to purify from slavery to freedom, from Taurus Age to the Age of Aries).
Living within the sukkah (temporary dwelling/shelter) is a way of symbolically re-entering God’s protective, intimate and all-encompassing embrace, an embrace provided to the Israelites during their long walk thru the Sinai desert.
It is a celebration of remembering & of gratitude:
Sukkot Comes After the Day of Atonement.
After the introspection and repentance (offering asking forgiveness) of Yom Kippur, we build the sukkah in order to celebrate with our hearts & minds our relationship with God.
A celebration of gratitude, hope, vision, inner peace and harmony with God, the community, surrounded by God’s body – which is nature itself.
A special day & night on this October 6th day of the year.
We celebrate with knowledge & we celebrate together.
love, Risa
