The Ninth New Moon of the Astrological
year holds spe­cial sig­nif­i­cance this year, for today is also when Uranus (The Awakener)
is turn­ing direct as well. Although most New Moons may come upon you dream­i­ly, often
drift­ing over you like a gen­tle breeze in which you can sense a sub­tle shifting
of ener­gies, bring­ing inti­ma­tions, feel­ings and the promise of new­found hopes that
bestow a renew­al of spir­i­tu­al meaning…Today, well today is
dif­fer­ent, very dif­fer­ent! In this New Moon, you will most cer­tain­ly feel a
most potent shift of ener­gies cours­ing through you and your world. There is a
crack­ling, elec­tri­cal fire burn­ing in the Air as Uranus adds his eclectic,
indi­vid­u­at­ing sparkle to the mix!

Every year, the New Moon of Sagittarius
encour­ages you to lift your eyes from your path and con­sid­er where you have
come from, to look back upon what you have so far encoun­tered in your yearly
journey…And, to try to look out to that far­ther hori­zon to see where you might
be going. But most impor­tant­ly, it is there to encour­age you to seek to understand
the “Why” of it all…how and why you are here? 

This is what you feel mov­ing through
your soul when you walk in the time of Sagit­tar­ius. You need to find that most
elu­sive prize, that long-sought treasure…the mean­ing to your life, the
pur­pose behind Cre­ation, behind all this phe­nom­e­na you know as your everyday
life.

As you do this in Sagit­tar­ius, you turn
to con­sid­er what the “Great Ones” have shown you. For it is by their
sto­ries, teach­ings and lessons that was their life, by their lives and cre­ations left
behind for you that you may find a ray of hope. Their exam­ple is ever set before you like a lamp to light your
way out of the dark­ened forests of igno­rance, to lead you out, through and
beyond your shad­ows and fears. You seek the way to the straight,
nar­row and ever steep­en­ing way…you seek the path that leads you to the Light…and they offer their life and their love to you.

Their sto­ries and teach­ings, the Truths
declaimed by Phi­los­o­phy, the hal­lowed feel­ings enact­ed in the Sacred rituals
of Reli­gion, those Laws of life as encod­ed in the works of Science…it is by these
gifts of your fore­bears that you may dip your hand into the Well of Wisdom
where you find the way of mean­ing. You stand upon their efforts as you seek to
under­stand the where and what of your world…as you move inward and outward,
deep­er and high­er, clos­er and clos­er to the Greater Understanding.

But this New Moon is spe­cial for it is
accom­pa­nied by an Emis­sary from Beyond, by one of the Three Lords of your Self-Becoming…this
New Moon is her­ald­ed by Uranus turn­ing direct. 

From the Sun out to Sat­urn, from your
pure poten­tial of Being out to your most Crys­tal­lized Forms of Sub­stan­ti­a­tion, your
jour­ney of self-real­iza­tion unfolds by those pat­terns that have been set in
motion, laid down by you and your fel­low com­pan­ions, gov­erned, guid­ed and
cir­cum­scribed by that mas­ter prin­ci­ple of Cause and Effect. It is by this, in The Law
of Kar­ma, that Cre­ation unfolds as a Dance of Ener­gies and Forms that ensures your steady devel­op­ment as you learn
through expe­ri­ence to take your prop­er place as the self-aware, con­scious Cre­ator of your Life.

But if this were all there was, a life
of auto­mat­ic, self-pro­pelled cau­sa­tion, if it was only action/reaction form­ing your
inci­den­tal and incre­men­tal under­stand­ings, your jour­ney from form to form and
world to world would be very long indeed. 

But at the core of all beings, with­in each
and every con­scious­ness there resides a spark of the Divine Flame which is ever
seek­ing to bring forth its glo­ry. As cre­ation unfolds, more and more of this
Spir­i­tu­al Essence comes into being, into ever-widen­ing forms of self-becoming,
of greater and greater Indi­vid­u­a­tions. And so the Uni­ver­sal pace and scope of
Spir­i­tu­al Awak­en­ing and Real­iza­tion takes flight…

The out­ward agent of this most precious
gift of self-becom­ing with­in you, this spark of Divine Quick­en­ing, is outwardly
embod­ied, emanat­ed and elicit­ed by the Plan­et Uranus. Today Uranus moves
for­ward again, hav­ing spent the last sev­er­al months in his retrograde
dance, and in so doing he act­ed to quick­en your inner realm of indi­vid­u­al­i­ty, chal­leng­ing you to
let go of your less­er sense of your­self so that you might behold and bring forth the greater…

And now? Now he moves for­ward, and so you
with him need move out­wards and chal­lenge the forms of being that you formed around you, that for­mer­ly ful­filled yet may now
cir­cum­scribe, lim­it or even deny what you now know to be the truer you…

It is time to move for­ward again upon your path of Spir­i­tu­al Unfoldment…

You, the self-becom­ing, the self-aware wonder…

The Cre­ator danc­ing your dance of Creation.

It is time, time to become, time to be as the Great Ones were before you…

It is time to be yourself.
