Twelve Holy Days of Christmas. Christmas is not over. The spiritual heart of Christmas has just begun. Sun in Capricorn, Pisces moon all day.
December 26, 2026 – Friday – Venus’s Day – the gifts of the Magi.
Twelve holy days, twelve signs on our Way to Epiphany.
Today we begin the Rite of Dedication (three-fold dedication of body, emotions, lower mind to the Light of the Soul) begins today. December 26, 2025.

The first day after Christmas & the 11 following days are our days of Dedication. We are on our way to Bethlehem – to Epiphany (January 6) with the Three Astrologer Magi Kings. In search of the manger, the Holy Family, the Holy Child in the manger.

This symbology represents, as does Christmas, the birth of the light of the Soul within our body (lower nature) & our personality dedicating itself to the Soul, to our Teachers, the Masters, to the Work, to Christ.

The simple environment, the hut, the stall, the manger (humble environment) represents the Holy Child appearing for all of humanity, the masses of humanity on all levels.

And so,
They saw his star in the East. And when they came to Jerusalem they asked Herod, the king, “Where is he, the holy child, the prophesied King of the Jews?” No one knew.
Herod was very interested. He asked if the Magi Kings found the holy child, to inform him (Herod). But the Magi knew not to tell Herod.
So the Three Astrologer Kings, the Magi, continued following the light of the mysterious star. And they had dreams, too.

And so, on the day after Christmas, we begin the 12 Days of walking with the Magi towards Epiphany (finding of the holy child).

These are esoterically referred to as The 12 Days of Dedication. (Matthew 2:1,2 – Matthew’s gospel is the only one of the four that mentions the Magi Astrologer Kings from the East come to offer gifts to the Holy Child).

We begin today walking with the Magi Kings, the Wise Men from the East to the West, following a star, seeking the holy child, the ancient prophecy calling him the “King of the Jews.”
The Magi Kings followed the guidance of the star in the sky. T
hey saw in the star the Akashic records. They also could see the outline of the stable, of Mary, Joseph & the holy child. For 12 days they walked from the east to the west.

The Astrology Kings, the Magi, were Initiates, workers of “magic.” In their dreams they were given instruction during their sacred journey.

Dedication
The Magi Kings represent dedication. After the Soul appears to the personality (holy birth within) & the personality dedicates itself & offers itself to the Soul for direction.
After the “holy birth of the Soul in our bodies” the next step is dedication of spirit (gold), soul (myrrh) & body (frankincense).

To further unfold from this sacred birth, the personality must dedicate itself to the Soul (the newborn holy child, or Christ light) within

Each day after Christmas we walk under one of the 12 signs of the zodiac, this is the Pathway of Light.
The study of Astrology (& one’s chart) is the Path of Transmutation, Transfiguration & the way one becomes “wise,” like the Three Magi Kings. We become King Initiates.
To most this is folly. The occult, the ageless wisdom teachings to most do seem like a fantasy, a folly.
That is the purpose for their being hidden & encased in symbols.

The first day after Christmas begins with Aries, the fire sign of Initiating all things new.
In the chart for today below we see Ceres & Chiron (retrograde) are in Aries.

Rays
Aries receives & distributes Rays 1 (Will/Purpose of God) & 7 = anchoring of the Will of God on Earth via new archetypes.

Planets
Aries flows thru Mars (6) on the personality building level. And Mercury (4) on the Soul level.

The keynotes of Aries –
“Let form be sought” (Mars) – experiencing all of life on Earth.
“I (Mercury) come forth & from the plane of (God’s Mind (Intuition, Ray 4), I rule.”

Sacred calendar.
Aries, begins the new solar new year, a resurrected consciousness. We see, & know the divine in all things (Essential Divinity). Our head is illumined by the Sahasrara, all parts in the head alight.

Aries from the Book of Revelation – “Behold I make all things new.”

Aries Rays 1 (Will/Purpose of God, the Plan) & 7 (new archetypes) – will of God, anchored on earth, the mineral kingdom. Precious metals bringing about the transformation, the change of the economic system to the next economic system that fits the new era.
Aries – 1 into 7 – 17 Q quantum, Uranus Ray 7, 1+7=8 – reorientation.

Music during the holy seasons.
Offering music during the holy seasons.
Music “untwists the chains that tie the hidden soul of harmony.” (John Milton).
Music unravels intricate hidden inner complexes (physical emotional lower mental) within us. Music, a certain type (harmonious, sacred, holy), releases a beauty that releases us from sadness, melancholy, feeling forlorn and a sense of lack. Our inner harmony is loosened & revealed to us. There is an underlying order & beauty in the music of the seasons, of the holy days, a secret essence of harmony.
