Esoteric Astrology as news for the week December 6-12, 2012
We’re in the season of gifting, a holiday ritual that, for some, brings terror (What do I give? Who am I? What do they like? I have no money!), and for others it’s a way of being festive, showing gratitude, participating with family, friends and loved ones and giving all we have, unconditionally. Two major religions, side by side, two developmental stages, celebrate the Festival of Lights in December — The Jewish Festival of Hanukkah (the miracle of oils & light in the Temple) and Christmas (Christmas tree, birth of the holy child, the new light). We join with our brothers and sisters of all religions, worldwide, in all the celebrations of Light this season.
Hanukkah begins this week, sundown Saturday, lasting through Sunday (16th). Hanukkah means menorah (miracle of Lights), dreidels (play), candles, gold coins (chocolate), Tzedakah (Hebrew for giving to charity, tithing, sharing) and Tikkum Olam (Hebrew for helping to repair the world, “restoring the Plan on Earth,” restoring the mysteries,” fix what’s broken, helping families rise from poverty to self-reliance, the highest form of charity).
Christmas comes later, Dec. 25. After the Dec. 21 winter solstice when the new light, new consciousness, holy child, “light of the world” arrives. Some fast during Christmas, some offer their services to those in need, some are alone at Christmas (elders, ill, homeless, abandoned, etc.), some feast, some give and give until they’re given more to give. Let’s do this one. We remember Dec. 21 begins the Festival Week of the NGWS. During the week, ending in a Full Moon, revelations occur concerning how to serve, educate, transform, illuminate and assist the Earth, her kingdoms and humanity for the next upcoming seven years. The minds and hearts of the NGWS, united, are illumined. Let us all prepare for these Festivals of Light. Preparing together, giving and giving and then giving some more. Joy to the World!
