Risa's Astrology
Understanding Sagittarius and Its Symbols
Sagittarius is the sign of direction. The arrows of Sag are sharp, pointed in a specific direction. The archer guides the arrows towards a specific goal. The goal is Truth and Justice – the virtues of Sagittarius.
Festivals of Light in the Darkness
Many festivals this week – in the darkness of the season humanity creates festivals of Light. This is how ancient humanity withstood winter each year.
Giving Thanks – the Thought Form of Solution
We are in the time and under the influence of Sagittarius, sign of the wanderer, of good food, good music, and the joy (Jupiter as ruler) that occurs from giving to other while simultaneously and from our hearts also giving thanks.
Over Hills & Plains, Riding a White Horse, Bow & Arrows in Hand
The energies shift from Scorpio’s deep and transformative waters to the “hills and plains of Sagittarius”. Sag is the rider on a white horse, eyes focused on the mountain peaks of Capricorn (Initiation) ahead. Like Scorpio, Sagittarius is also the “disciple.”
New Pathways, Rhythms & Ways of Being
The week is filled with heavenly squares, triangles, rectangles, lines and conjunctions as the planets accelerate their interactions with each other.
Scorpio – Doing No Harm – Ahimsa
Thursday is full moon, Scorpio solar festival. The focus is on the Scorpio keynote, “Warriors we are & from the battles we emerge triumphant.”
Altars of Remembrance, Forgiveness & Rapprochement
We’re in Scorpio now – things mysterious, ageless, hidden, sometimes scary.
Libra’s Two Choices
Libra (our last week) is the sign of creating Right Relations & Values. In Libra we are asked to choose how to be, our identity, in the world.
True Heroes Amidst Weary Humanity
We have a complex week beginning Wednesday the eighth with the full moon lunar eclipse.
Rosh Hashanah – Calling the Shofar
Under the shadow of the Libra new moon, the Jewish High Holy Days (ten days) begin Thursday with Rosh Hashanah.
