Saturn Enters Sagittarius (December 23, 2014 )

Saturn-Sagittarius2014

I wrote of this turn­ing in my 2014 Forecast:

Sat­urn Enters Sagit­tar­ius (Decem­ber 23, back to Scor­pio June 14, 2014 and back into Sagit­tar­ius Sept 17, 2014 until Decem­ber 2017)

The Avatar of Real­i­ty is mov­ing into Sagit­tar­ius, but he will pause at the thresh­old of this sign and go back into Scor­pio from June until Sep­tem­ber of 2015, so you will be strad­dling these two signs too as he dances between them. You have faced many lessons of Union while Sat­urn was in Scor­pio, and now you will be encour­aged to take your next step…to Under­stand and move towards Wisdom.

Avatar of Reality,

Your Weaver of Forms,

Mas­ter of Manifestation,

Dear Saturn…is Mov­ing on.

 

For over two years now,

You have met your “Tests of Union”.

Your heart did trem­ble in Joy,

For here the Illu­sion was shattered,

Two, now one, held in a super­nal light.

 

But the path you walk ,

is a wind­ing and cir­cuitous way.

With Join­ing comes Separation,

In Joy you will also meet Pain.

 

For this is the Way it is done,

You will learn, and learn again.

Although you are Immortal,

You are for only a short while,

In your tem­po­ral, mor­tal frames.

 

You have laughed,

And you have wept.

You went beyond your Fear,

And you fell into Despair.

 

So it is time,

For the wheel to turn again.

To move through and beyond,

The swirling, sweep­ing tides of your emotions.

It is time, it is time,

It is time to Understand.

 

After all you felt in this realm of Water,

You need to return to source,

To bind togeth­er, what was-is-will be,

Into the One Real­i­ty, into

The Ever­last­ing Now.

 

You look for that peace

That lies deep with­in yourself.

To bring what is beyond your words,

To bring it now into the Light,

And so know the Truth you bear.

 

So you dip your beggar’s cup,

Into the Well that is Wisdom,

But you must also Give.

Your soul­ful sto­ry, you gen­tler heart,

Is what you kind­ly offer up.

 

For you and I are Storytellers,

Shar­ing pre­cious moments along the way,

Mov­ing in and out of shadows,

We walk the Path we Made,

We are the Path we Made,

We are the Light we Made.

Sun Enters Capricorn & New Moon in Capricorn & Uranus Turns Direct (December 21, 2014)

Capricorn2014

Ini­ti­a­tion

The Twelve Sta­tions, The Twelve Steps…

You have arrived at the next turning.

This is the Fourth Portal,

This is the step of Mastery.

 

The Four Turn­ings, The Four Initiations…

The Sacred Por­tals to Perfection,

This is your Path.

For you are here to Square the Circle,

To Reveal the Inner Light, and

You will rise into your Splendor.

 

You are at the Fourth Turning,

Climb­ing your Path of Purposefulness.

At this tip­ping point you turn again,

To Face the Dark­ness, the long Winter’s Night.

You turn with your Faith,

You turn to face the Light.

 

The Sun will set, and you will hold your breath,

Nev­er low­er, the shad­ows fall.

All on Earth are standing-still,

You and your world will wait.

You look for a Sign, the Promise,

The Re-Turn­ing of the Light.

 

You move through Sacred Spaces, for as you abide in your own Sacred Space you also move in the Sacred Spaces of one and all, and all these hosts abide in the Sacred Space that is the One. You are a spark of the Divine, endowed with Self-Aware­ness, Intel­li­gence and Love. Your jour­ney is long, tak­ing you through many worlds and forms and lives…Why?

Why…so that you may grow, for that is your nature. You are Spir­it, an Immor­tal in a Mor­tal Frame. You ever abide yet also come out from the One into these worlds of Ener­gy-Forms. You came forth as an unself-con­scious spark of the Divine to become a Self-aware being of Light-Love. You learn by Action/Reaction, by choos­ing one way then anoth­er, and then try­ing again…

And over time, over count­less lives and by innu­mer­able steps upon the Path of Light you learn to choose what is bet­ter, you learn to dis­cern what is the Good, as you come to feel and know what is Truer, what is Wiser…and so you choose to be what you are, a being of Light and Love singing your way home.

Each and every sin­gle step you take…is a Test. A test of Aware­ness, a test of Love and a test of Will. Each and every moment you pass through por­tals, through anoth­er “Ini­ti­a­tion”. You choose to give, or to take. You choose to act, or to react. You choose to live in Love, or to fall into Fear…but you are human now, you have a choice. The Angels envy you, for they who know the way, they are the Way, and they do not Choose as you. You are learn­ing to be, to become a Con­scious Co-Cre­ator of Cre­ation’s Song…and you must choose.

Every moment counts, there is no wast­ed effort, no achieve­ment that does not echo down through all your many lives, no les­son learned that will not form and forge your Dia­mond Body of Spir­i­tu­al Strength. Your fail­ures are your “trea­sures”, for from them you learned how to be bet­ter, it is how you found your com­pas­sion, your humil­i­ty and grace.

Today, tonight you mark anoth­er spe­cial moment in your Jour­ney of Twelve, these Mag­nif­i­cent Man­sions of Life, the Super­nal realm formed by the Liv­ing Ones, the Zodi­ac. You (and they) are Ener­gy-Forms, and tonight you enter the Mas­ter Man­sion, tonight you move into Capricorn.

The Fourth Turn­ing is here, the Fourth Ini­ti­a­tion. For each sea­son opens with this, all of cre­ation waits on what is to be…The first is Fire, in Aries, the Ver­nal Equinox. The sec­ond is Water, in Can­cer, the Sum­mer Sol­stice. The third is Air, in Libra, the Autum­nal Equinox. Today is Earth, in Capri­corn, the Win­ter Solstice.

At each of these turn­ings cer­e­monies are held, heads are bowed and those who are ready arise. All these turn­ings are sacred, but none is held as more sacred than this, the fourth. Here the Hier­ar­chy is cel­e­brat­ed, the Gold­en Chain of Light, Love and Will that holds all of Cre­ation in and as the One Life. You are a pre­cious dew-drop, a sparkling par­ti­cle of Spir­it on this Gold­en Chord of Life-Consciousness-Spirit.

There are many who fol­low you, they look up to you, those for whom you care; and there are many ahead of you, who hold you in their hearts, as they extend what help they can as you reach for their lov­ing hands. For this is the heart of it, stand­ing in this Dark­en­ing Time suf­fused and Illu­mined by the bright­est Inner Light, this is when Illu­sions will be bro­ken, the shell will crack wide open, and the one will be with the One. Time and Space will be tran­scend­ed, for there is only Now. There is only One Life, One Light, One Love…and this is Now.

There is only Now…This “now” is a spe­cial turn­ing, for tonight is not only one of the Four Sacred Turn­ings, it is also a New Moon. It is at such a time, when the Sacred Por­tal is pushed open a lit­tle wider, it is at such a time that those who have made them­selves ready will pass into an even more encom­pass­ing con­scious­ness, for they have made them­selves ready, they have become even more Self-Mas­ter­ful. They have earned this, they have served and sac­ri­ficed, and they have Loved…they have become more human…and they abide in this more sub­lime and serene light.

But there is even more here than this, for at this Fourth Por­tal, and at this New Moon, here and Now there is anoth­er turn­ing which will quick­en and elic­it even more for one and all. I wrote about this in my Gen­er­al Fore­cast for 2014:

Uranus Direct (Decem­ber 21 until July 25–26, 2015)

The Avatar of Indi­vid­u­al­i­ty and Free­dom is lead­ing you out­wards again, and it is a most spe­cial turn­ing indeed. For this is also the day of the Sol­stice, which means this win­ter begins with a New Moon. This is rec­og­nized as a most sacred event in the Spir­i­tu­al Cal­en­dar. When­ev­er a New Moon is also the begin­ning of one of the Four Sacred Sea­sons, spe­cial cer­e­monies and ini­ti­a­tions are observed and hon­ored at such at time. This is a time of Quick­en­ing, and for those who have pre­pared and are ready to accept the next sac­ri­fice, their Joy­ful Ser­vice is hon­ored and reward­ed now as they move that much clos­er to the Light of Under­stand­ing. All should bow their heads and lift their lov­ing hearts to those who live for and in the One, and find their own peace in the words of the Great Invo­ca­tion which will be said at many a cer­e­mo­ny today:

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.

This is the Path­way of Perfection,

This is the Way Home.

This is your Sacred Moment,

As are all steps along the Way.

Let each day be your Portal,

Your every step lived in Light and Love.

Hon­or your Past, live your Present, become your Future,

For All is here, and All is Love, and

All is Now.
