\"Capricorn\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Four Por\u00adtals stand before you, Four Thresh\u00adolds of Begin\u00adnings you must cross
\nevery year, and these Four Sea\u00adsons, these Four Cor\u00adners mark your way around the
\nCir\u00adcle of Life.<\/p>\n

These Four Turn\u00adings, these Four Direc\u00adtions form and guide your jour\u00adney of
\nself-unfold\u00adment, they inspire and chal\u00adlenge your ever-expanding
\nself-real\u00adiza\u00adtion and self-awareness\u2026and it is today that you enter the Fourth
\nand final Por\u00adtal, today you begin your jour\u00adney through the final three Signs of
\nthe Astro\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal year. <\/p>\n

Today the pow\u00aders of Night and Shad\u00adow have reached their cli\u00admax, the
\nSun has dimmed, set\u00adting low\u00ader and low\u00ader, ever fur\u00adther south as your
\nEarth bends away
\nfrom her Star\u00adry Lord\u2026And for the next sev\u00ader\u00adal days the world will wait
\nand
\nwon\u00adder, will the light return, will the Sun rise again? <\/p>\n

It is called the
\n\u201cWin\u00adter Sol\u00adstice\u201d because sol\u00adstice means the \u201cSun stands
\nstill\u201d. The Sun will appear to rise or set in the same posi\u00adtion upon the
\nhori\u00adzon for the next sev\u00ader\u00adal days. But around Decem\u00adber 24 or 25, the Sun will
\nrise a lit\u00adtle High\u00ader, Light will begin to return, the Sun will begin to climb
\nback again and your days will grow longer and longer\u2026and Light, and Love and
\nHope will rise up to warm the hearts of One and all\u2026<\/p>\n

Each Por\u00adtal, each turn\u00ading will point you towards a new direc\u00adtion for that
\nsea\u00adson of your life, help\u00ading you to find your way through four ways of
\nRelat\u00ading. The First Por\u00adtal of Aries<\/a>, The East\u00adern Gate\u00adway, begins the jour\u00adney as
\nyou come to renew your Pres\u00adence, of how you relate your\u00adself to your world. The
\nSec\u00adond Por\u00adtal of Can\u00adcer<\/a>, The North\u00adern Gate\u00adway, takes you with\u00adin, to the roots
\nof your being so that you may refresh your soul in the Waters of Life, so that
\nyou can feel your way as you relate your\u00adself to your foun\u00adda\u00adtions. The Third
\nPor\u00adtal of Libra<\/a>, The West\u00adern Gate\u00adway, helps you to see your\u00adself through one
\nanoth\u00ader as you expe\u00adri\u00adence the won\u00adder of the We, you relate to your world ever
\nmore con\u00adscious\u00adly as you find the real \u201cyou\u201d in and through one another. <\/p>\n

The Fourth and final Por\u00adtal of Capri\u00adcorn, The South\u00adern Gate\u00adway, lifts you up
\nto scale the heights of Duty and Respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty, so you may ful\u00adfill yourself
\nthrough par\u00adtic\u00adi\u00adpa\u00adtion in the larg\u00ader world or soci\u00adety, as you substantially
\nrelate your\u00adself to your Des\u00adtiny and Purpose. <\/p>\n

From Aries you seek to know who am I, from Libra you seek to know who are
\nyou, in Can\u00adcer you seek to know from where did I come, and now in Capricorn
\nyou seek to know, \u201cWhat am I des\u00adtined to be? What is my pur\u00adpose, why have
\nI come to this place\u2026and where am I to go?\u201d<\/p>\n

The prin\u00adci\u00adple essence of Capri\u00adcorn is con\u00adtained in the words \u201cFul\u00adfill\u00adment\u201d
\nand \u201cRespon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty\u201d. <\/p>\n

For this is what you must ask of your\u00adself at this Fourth and Final Por\u00adtal of
\nLife. As you climb the ever-wind\u00ading path of des\u00adtiny, as you the self-unfolding,
\nself-becom\u00ading won\u00adder grow to be more than you were before, you release and bring
\ninto being your won\u00addrous poten\u00adtials from with\u00adin yourself\u2026and the ques\u00adtion you
\nmust ask is what is this for, what is my true pur\u00adpose, what will be my fulfillment? <\/p>\n

But of course you will find that there can be no final answer to this
\nques\u00adtion, because you walk upon a path of self-unfold\u00adment that takes you from
\nform to form, through realms and upon worlds, and there will be no final
\nend\u00adpoint to your jour\u00adney what\u00adso\u00adev\u00ader. Yet, at every step along this path, you
\nare to learn to mas\u00adter these forms and realms and worlds as you come to know
\nyour\u00adself as you tru\u00adly are\u2026that you are a spark of the Divine Spir\u00adit, singing
\nand danc\u00ading through time and space and your ful\u00adfill\u00adment is your becoming\u2026your
\npur\u00adpose is to grow.<\/p>\n

And as to that sec\u00adond word \u201cRespon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty\u201d, well it car\u00adries a
\nmost sacred truth. You are a spark of the Divine, you are part of the One
\nGreat Self, and you need know that each and every being who trav\u00adels with you is
\njust like you, a self-unfold\u00ading spark of this Divine too. To under\u00adstand this
\ncon\u00adcept you need to turn it around, the word respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty becomes your duty
\nas mea\u00adsured by your \u201cabil\u00adi\u00adty to respond\u201d, by your capac\u00adi\u00adty to respond
\nto the needs around you.<\/p>\n

What are you are respond\u00ading to, to who or what are you responsible? <\/p>\n

You are here as part of a lumi\u00adnous host of evolv\u00ading forms of
\nLife-Con\u00adscious\u00adness-Spir\u00adit, and you are quite sim\u00adply here to be respon\u00adsi\u00adble for
\none anoth\u00ader, to respond to one anoth\u00ader, to care for one anoth\u00ader. Because you
\nare here to rec\u00adog\u00adnize that when you look upon any par\u00adti\u00adcle, being or world in this
\nwon\u00addrous Cre\u00adation, you are to rec\u00adog\u00adnize that quite pro\u00adfound\u00adly and simply\u2026there
\nyou are too!<\/p>\n

You reach one hand upwards, as you see that those who have gone ahead
\nare now bend\u00ading down to help you on your way\u2026and you extend your
\noth\u00ader hand behind you, because you need to help those who look to you
\nfor guid\u00adance, as they in turn help those behind them, and so on\u2026It is
\nthe Way, this unbro\u00adken path, this chain of Life-Consciousness-Spirit
\nthat thrills and cours\u00ades through all of Creation\u2026and this is it, this
\nis the rea\u00adson why\u2026you do this because\u2026because you and they and all
\nof Creation\u2026because you Love.<\/p>\n

You are here at the Fourth Turning\u2026<\/p>\n

You are here to assume your prop\u00ader place, to take up your Right\u00adful and True
\nResponsibilities.<\/p>\n

For you and your fel\u00adlow com\u00adpan\u00adions have trav\u00adelled far and made this realm\u2026<\/p>\n

You are the cre\u00adators of this won\u00addrous and most trou\u00adbled, this world of
\nLights and Shadows.<\/p>\n

You are here at the Turn\u00ading, and it is your time to Decide\u2026<\/p>\n

Will you take your place of responsibility\u2026Will you ful\u00adfill your Destiny?<\/p>\n

For you are the won\u00adder, the Light-Bear\u00ader blaz\u00ading across the heavens.<\/p>\n

Becom\u00ading, ever-becom\u00ading an ever more con\u00adscious co-cre\u00adator of this Cosmos\u2026<\/p>\n

Who sim\u00adply needs to extend their heart and their hand with Love.<\/p>\n
