From Night Light News
Candlemas Day, a cross quarter day – a day of significance astronomically and religiously, marks the moment in time (day) between winter solstice (Dec. 21) and spring equinox (April 21). Like a spring festival of preparation, we turn over the soil and prepare it biodynamically. We sort our seeds, call forth their life-force, thus securing our future food supply. We can sense the Light is returning. We feel hope and vitality in the wind, the air & the soil.

In the Catholic Church, Candlemas, 40 days after Christmas, marks the end of Epiphany (little Christmas, January 6).
On Candlemas, the holy child and Mary are presented in the Temple. Mary is bathed (purified in a ritual bath – a mikvah – of sea/salt water) and the holy child (Jesus) is recognized as the promised and long awaited “Light of the world.”

Candlemas is a festival-of-fire-day, acknowledging the Sun light is rising. In churches today, pure beeswax candles are blessed – to be used throughout the year for light & protection. These rituals anchor into our little worlds the change of the seasons, the change of the light and the Light of Life itself. They connect us on Earth to the heavens above. We come into harmony and balance on cross-quarter days. And all the kingdoms are lifted up to the Kings of Beauty.

The Astrology Today.
Scorpio (4) moon (4), Aquarius (5 & 7) Sun.
The receptive feminine rays blend easily with the radiating out masculine rays. The day is good.

Mercury (4) sextiles Neptune (6) – our thoughts & words express kindness & care. We see through the veils of illusion & maya into the essence of what is in front of us. Love appears.

Mantram of Unification
The sons of men (Sanskrit for the “thinkers”) are one.
And I am one with them.
I seek to love, not hate;
I seek to serve and not exact due service;
I seek to heal, not hurt.
Let pain bring due reward of light and love.
Let the soul control the outer form, and life and all events
And bring to light the love that underlies the happenings of the time.
