Hearing the Angels Sing

Christmas may feel different this year due to all the potent placements, shifting and changing of the planets. We are in the Venus retrograde where all values begin to change. Christmas eve has Saturn square Uranus – all structures (status quo) are challenged by the new (Uranus) It will feel like “change the world day”(music – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kntzQiaFzOQ). Change happening in a blink of an eye!

Christmas Day has Mars/Chiron (be sure to create no harm) and Venus once again joins Pluto (deep transformative feelings). It’s also Virgo moon so people can feel critical. One needs to be “the love that underlies all the people, events, happenings” in our environments. Christmas eve is the Feast of the Seven Fishes.

The Christmas story is familiar. Mother and father, innocent child, a birth. Shepherds, a bright star, animals all around. No room at the inn, the stable, the manger, the angels singing.

The story is both real and cosmic. Every character and event represents a phase of our development. Year after year we hear the story. It is our life story, our history. The story of when love first came to Earth, of our seeking that love, of our spiritual birth, too. The Inn is to become our heart of loving understanding. When our heart is open we sing with the angels on this holy night, and every night hereafter.

Quietly, Capricorn’s Light Supernal, Light of Initiation streams into Earth. We are in the midst of an actual festival of Light – loving, illuminating, harmonious, healing and comforting.

December 26 – January 6.The day after Christmas begins our journey with the Three Kings, the journey called the Twelve Days (Aries – Pisces) of Christmas – each day preparing us for the upcoming twelve months and thus each day overseen by one of the zodiacal signs. The Three Astrologer Kings, studying the heavens, following a bright shiny star, gifts in hand, begin their journey westward. We walk with them.

During these holy days and nights, we hear the angels singing – “Joy to the world; Let heaven and nature sing; Do you see what I see; Feliz Navidad; Silent Night, Holy Night; It Came Upon a Midnight Clear. And finally, Peace on Earth, Goodwill and Blessings to all.”Hearing their words, we join them in their blessing & their song. Merry Christmas, everyone, love, Risa
