Sun Enters Capricorn -The Solstice (December 21, 2015)
Apotheosis
The Sacred Path, the Pathway to Perfection…
These are the Four Sacred Directions:
You Rise in the East, as Aries,
You Turn to the South, in Cancer,
You Bow in the West, through Libra…
And so now you will take this Fourth Way,
Look to the North as you enter Capricorn.
The Twelve Signs of the Zodiac are the Living Waters of Life-Consciousness-Spirit.
These Four of the Twelve are the Realms of Awareness-Action, they are the Signs of Identity:
Aries is your Self-Awareness; Libra your Awareness of the Other.
Cancer is your Sacred Center; and Capricorn is your Destiny.
These four corners form the Cross of Purpose; this is the Axis that leads to Apotheosis. In Aries you are Inspired by the Flame of Spirit of being a “one”, you are Self-Aware. In Libra you Know by Mindful Air, you are for one another, you are Inter-Dependent. In Cancer you Feel through the Waters of Life, you are centered and anchored by your Source. In Capricorn you are made Manifest by Earth, you assume your responsibilities as you seek to fulfill your Destiny.
These Sacred Four form what is known as the Cardinal Cross; held together they are the whirling wheel that creates the Sacred Path-Way of Praxis. For this is “the Way”, that by this Integral Path that combines Inspiration, Thought, Feeling made Real, it is by this that your wondrous Journey of the Divine-that-is-the-Self-Becoming is made manifest.
For you are an Immortal moving through mortal realms and forms. You move into Worlds, Bodies and Lives, but forever and ever you will always “walk on” through and beyond any one world, body or life. You are the self-becoming more and more of what you will be as you unfold the Spark of the Divine that resides at the Core of you in each and every life.
And in each life you will grow and become what you are meant to be through “Trial & Error”. You will succeed at times, and you must and will also stumble. For it is by these “failures” and your adjustments that you climb the spiral path of conscious redemption. And, it is by this that you will come to understand, accept and become more of what you are here to be…a fully conscious co-creator of this Cosmos.
Yes you are climbing, higher and higher, and at each turning you face again the ancient questions and fundamental truths that were there at the beginning…oh so long ago.
Today, as Winter begins, when the shadows have stretched to their greatest extent, and the light seems to be fading away, it is now that you and the world will hold your breath…and you will pray. It is time once again, to face the darkness and believe, that Light and Truth and Goodness will not fade away. It is time to remember who you are, where you came from, who is before you, and why you are here…it is time once again to have a living faith in your destiny.
For though it may seem that your world is falling into shadows, that your life and world is in dire peril…you will find a way through. As the familiar forms of self-realization are cracking and crumbling, whether in the realms of Religion, or Government, or Education or the Economy…you will come to know that this is merely the wheel of life turning again, for an old world is passing so that a new and better one shall rise…as it has done many, many times before.
And this change, this re-birth, does not come from on high, it will not come by Fiat or by the will of the temporal holders of Power. No, the change in every world, form and life starts in the center of each and every one of you, from within each and every individual heart that hears the “Wind of the Spirit” and answers to the angels of our better nature. It is the "Voice of the Silence", your Higher Self abiding in the Intuitive Knowing that a better world is coming to be…and that you must be its Creator.
Each year, at this time of Capricorn, you are asked to examine quite simply this one question, “What is the Responsible thing to do, what is my Responsibility?" To understand this you need but turn that word around. Your responsibility is always and forever about your “ability to respond”. To what, you might ask. What or to who are you responding? How can you know? How?
Know Thyself!
You are a Spark of the Divine, moving now through this Kingdom of being Human. It is in this time of your Spiritual Education that you are to learn what is “the good”, for you are endowed with the gift of choice, (and angels and those greater than they envy you this choice). You are given this gift so that you might learn to choose what is good, or better or loving. So that you can become a conscious, loving co-creator of creation.
For today, in this time, you are here to respond to the needs of yourself, your family, your friends and to all of those with whom you journey. For you have come far and learned much, and you are only here now because you have taken care of one another, helped one another, and loved one another so as to create and form these living-loving spaces for one another that can preserve, protect and promote Life-Consciousness-Spirit. Remain focused upon this, and you will keep to the pathway of Spirit.
There is much work to do when a world is passing away and another is coming into being. Your responsibility is great, but so is your reward. Preserve what you can, for many lives and loves fashioned this world and much in it is good. Be guided by your heart and know that the changes you must face and make should be guided always by the fundamental truth that you are here for one another, you are made by one another, and to harm any other inevitably means that you injure yourself equally too.
Today you need remember, that even in the darkest hour, there remains a Light that will not go out, a Love that will not fail, and a Promise that will be Fulfilled. And this is so because you stand within a shining Hierarchy of Light that stretches from the Heart of Creation to the furthest reaches of this Cosmos. Every being within this Company of Brave Souls is slowly awakening to the truth, that all are sparks of the Divine, and in the heart of each soul there is found the Alignment and Attunement to one another. All of Creation is of the One, and every particle, life, planet, star and galaxy are At-Onement through and by the Love of the One, and by your love for one another too.
At each and every turning, you will face your destiny. It is right, proper and good to align yourself with those like you who seek to bring about a better tomorrow. As we move from one world into the next, keep in your heart the Great Invocation:
THE GREAT INVOCATION
From the point of light within the Mind of God
Let Light stream forth into our minds
Let LIGHT descend on Earth.
From the point of love within the Heart of God
Let Love stream forth into our hearts
May LOVE increase on Earth.
From the center where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide our wills
The PURPOSE which the masters know and serve.
From the center which we call Humanity
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door
where evil dwells.
Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.

Mars Square Pluto (December 6, 2015) / Mars Opposite Uranus (December 10, 2015) - Part 2
December 10th is the second alignment of Mars with the defining major aspect of our time, the Uranus-Pluto Square. Today the Avatar of Action and Desire stands opposite to the Avatar of Individuality and Freedom. The question before you is how do you reconcile your desire for fulfillment through relationship (Mars in Libra) with your need to be as free as possible (Uranus in Aries)?
It would seem apparent to most that you are most “perfectly free” when you are by yourself, alone, beholden to no other. That any and all relationship to another would require some measure of consideration shown, some adjustment to and for one another, entailing necessary sacrifices that would not be needed at all if one were to remain apart or alone.
But, as always in the journey to the greater awareness, the Ancient Wisdom held in your heart and soul will release you from your limited and circumscribed certainties and keep you on the one true path of Understanding, Compassion and Love. You will learn to rise above these dichotomies and realize that both ways are true, and both needs can only be met when held and lived together.

Mars Square Pluto (December 6, 2015) / Mars Opposite Uranus (December 10, 2015)
On Sunday December 6th, Mars in Libra will square Pluto in Capricorn, and then on Thursday December 10th Mars will form an opposition with Uranus in Aries. This will elicit or trigger the still ongoing major alignment of Uranus with Pluto, which has been the signature, major and defining astrological aspect from 2008 until now (and into the near future as well). You can search on my blog for the previous postings about Uranus and Pluto if you wish. Today, in this audio/podcast, I focus upon the particular and personal indications for these linked alignments with regards to the Mars to Pluto aspect. In the next podcast I will comment on the Mars to Uranus side of this pattern.
