Advent Journey of Mary & Joseph.
The light within the animal kingdom.
This week – today is Monday – December 16, 2024.
A new week begins of things, events, ideas, people yet to be!
It’s the last week of Sagittarius before Sun enters Capricorn.
We prepare this week for Saturday’s Winter Solstice, Dec. 21st, when the Sun enters Capricorn – & the dark shifts to light.
The new light for the new year begins. A paradox.

At the beginning of this week each of us begins to ‘look for the inn, the place of repose, a retreat.” Mary & Joseph, in the ancient story, walking towards Bethlehem.

Everyone this week, whether aware or not, is preparing for the new light. In the bible, the Piscean story, this is the time when Joseph & Mary are searching for a place of rest, a place of peace & quet & solitude in which the holy child can be born. They end up in a stable with the animal kingdom, as the village of Bethlehem (Place of Bread, of nourishment) is busy & full with visitors.

A star is forming in the sky & the Magi are being alerted to begin their journey westward & the Sun is soon at the end of its southward journey (reaching the Tropic of Capricorn about to turn northward) & something new & startling & filled with light is about to occur. And there is expectancy in everyone’s hearts this week. We all feel it.

Under the Cancer moon we nourish & nurture this expectancy. Under the Sagittarius Sun, our last week of Sagittarius, we lead humanity to the foothills of Capricorn. And lead humanity up the mountain, til we get to the midnight Sun of Solstice & of Christmas, three days later. A journey of hope & happiness & joy.

Saturday – after midnight, Sun enters Capricorn. Yuletide begins.
We begin our contemplation on the Laws of Right Human Relations. When the Christ returns He will teach humanity about the Law of Right Human Relations & how to have happiness. Everything is in relationship to everything else. Relationship is everything. Astrology teaches us all about relationships. Astrology is the relationship between humanity & the heavens & each other. And this contact & knowledge of all…releases love, the Law of the Piscean Age. love, Risa
