Lunar Insight
One thing and only one thing (for now) that
astronomers, astrologers, geologists, sailors, poets,
weatherpersons, fishermen, doctors, nurses and psychiatrists can
seem to agree upon, the Moon and Her amazing influences in nature
and on human behavior.
In astrology, as women, we are ruled by the Moon,
which represents our emotions and feelings. With it, is the
receptivity of others’ emotions as well, the reason why intuition is
far more stronger in women than in men. As Wise Women, we have the
power to capture Her magnificence and apply it into our daily life.
To begin with, we have a new moon, a time for starting new projects,
then two weeks after, we have a full moon, a good time to expect
fruition then release those that are no longer beneficial to the
project.
So, here we go…

New Moon in
Capricorn, 3°

Happy New Moon, Everyone!
The Sun’s move into the sign of Capricorn coincides with
Winter Solstice. This year it occurred on December 21st,
9:39 pm PST. Happy Birthday, Capricorn!!
Many cultures celebrate
winter solstice as the time for renewal and rebirth,
connected to the return of the Sun. These beliefs
include the Egyptian mother goddess Isis giving birth to
Horus, the Sun God. Mithra, Persian God of Light and
the Greek Sun God, Apollo, were also honored on winter
solstice. The Blessed Virgin Mary gave birth to her son,
Jesus of Nazarene, within this time period as well.

This New Moon in Capricorn urges us to look back to our
fundamental values, the traditions we were brought up
with: our culture, our parents and ancestors, the
birthplace that gave us roots to who we are now as a
person, and the place we have created to be a part of
the world. “Capricorn is symbolized by a mountain goat,
solitary and alone, who climbs to the heights with
patience and persistence” says Isabel Hickey, one of my
favorite authors.
The presence of the Sun in this cardinal earth sign
inspires many of us to pursue our long-term goals, our
ambition. Venus’ entry into innovative Aquarius on
December 20th (till February 2012)
spurs hunger for freedom and a taste of unconventional
experiences. I suggest we stay on track and not be too
experimental when it comes to defining our goals.
Unpredictable and volatile Uranus will form a difficult
aspect with willful Sun and optimistic Jupiter that can
present sudden changes and contradictions. A potential
downside of these planetary currents is by alienating
ourselves from others. Reaching out for help from
friends and alliances may prove to be beneficial.
On Sabian Symbol… Astrological Mandala by Dane Rudhyar…
3 degrees Capricorn indicates, “A human soul, in its
eagerness for new experiences, seeks embodiment.
Keynote: A powerful yearning for whatever will increase
the depth of one’s contacts with other living beings.”
My thoughts…
A strong desire to make
the changes is here, now! A soulful connection will be
the key to succeed. After all, Soul is part of our
everyday life, such as saying… “The music touches my
very soul.” or “The writing awakened something in my
soul.”.
Have a Blessed New Moon!
Merry Christmas and
Happy Holidays!
And, Keep Sharing
the Light! |
