Hanukkah, New Moon Solar Eclipse – Something Essential Disappears

Monday is Sagittarius new moon, solar eclipse, 23 degrees. Eclipses, a six-month event (three months before, three months after), signify something essential falls away; it is complete, and something new takes its place. During the day disciples recite the Great Invocation* and contemplate the Soul’s meditative seed thought for Sagittarius, “I see the goal, I reach that goal, and then I see another.” We ponder upon this seed thought each morning as we awaken, reviewing our daily goals. During the day we visualize and then accomplish our goals. The next morning we see new goals. This is the life of the Disciple.

Thursday evening the first night of Hanukkah, eight-day candle-lighting Jewish festival of lights, begins. Sunday is both the 3rd Sunday in Advent and the festival of Santa Lucia. Hanukkah, Advent, Santa Lucia – all festivals of preparation for the new light of Winter Solstice. As we light our candles, we rekindle the hope and promise that within the darkness of matter (Kali Yuga) a promising new light will soon appear.

Looking at the United States chart, it’s important to note transiting (in the sky) Jupiter and Saturn (in the sky) are on the natal U.S. Pluto (transformations occurring). We see the effects all around us in every town and city. Saturn mean strictness, discipline, solitude, hard work, separation and an elimination of what is no longer useful. Jupiter means expansion of all that’s needed to bring forth the new culture and civilization. Transparency, although uncomfortable, is needed for the new culture and civilization to emerge. Saturn is both teacher and Dweller on the Threshold. The Dweller shows us past mis-steps and the Teacher helps us learn lessons. Everyone, everything (even nations) is always in a developmental (learning) stage. Jupiter tells us “love underlies all the happenings of the times.” It takes an expanded mind & heart to understand this last statement. Jupiter and Saturn are moving together these days, on their way to Winter Solstice, where they will inaugurate the new era at 0 degrees Aquarius. The revolution, all around us, has already begun. Uranus, ruler of Aquarius, is the revolution. Revolutions come forth after much suppression, calling humanity to sacrifice for an idea (in this case, liberty and freedom). Truth and transparency is are major factors needed for the new era emerging.
