Waters of Life Poured Forth for Thirsty Humanity

These words are the keynote and inner spiritual essence for Aquarius. The waters are electrical, the new energies falling to Earth. These permit humanity to build the new culture and civilization, allowing us to imagine a future where there’s peace and prosperity enough to be creative. It is a fixed air sign. Fixed signs bring ideas into form and matter and stabilize them. Air signs (Gemini, Libra & Aquarius) are mental. They think and ponder, study and research, gather and distribute information previously created and stabilized by the cardinal and fixed signs. For air signs, education and learning are most important along with being social, communicating, writing, tending to money, participating in groups and creating sustainable communities for the future.

We’ll be called to reshape our world

The New Year began with a lunar eclipse (everything in form and matter will change) and the first day of the New Year itself is/was void as if clearing the way for the New Year. Mars is retrograde till March 10 and Mercury is also retrograde, till Jan.15.

We are now in Advent, the holy days leading up to the birth of the Sun. Each night we light candles at our tables amidst our families, signifying light in the darkness. December 6 is the feast of St. Nicholas. December 12 is the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe and Santa Lucia, and the first day of Hanukkah. We light the menorah. More lights in the darkness. I invite all readers to light a candle each night until the Epiphany (January 6), when the Magi (Persian astrologer kings) bring gifts (of Initiation – Capricorn) to the Holy Child. Lighting our candles together creates unity and oneness among us. I will think of all my readers as I light the candles each evening.

Brilliant, mysterious Scorpio

Have the Monarch butterflies returned yet to Mexico after their summer in Canada and the US? Are they nestled for winter’s protection in the oyamel (sacred fir) trees? The butterflies’ return, holding the spirits of departed and loved one, reminds us it’s time for Los Dias de los Muertos (The Days of the Dead) - Halloween, All Saints Day and All Souls Day.
