For the past few days at sunset the sky had been clear of the Cloud People. Shooting Star knew the two bright lights on the western horizon who were travelling close together had an important message to share. One was Evening Star Venus, the Light of Love and Harmony, and the other was Jupiter, the Light of Wisdom and Truth. As she joined her sister Snowy Owl to follow the path to the Star Temple Grandfather Sun had just set and there in western sky the two Wanderers continued to shine brightly. Shooting Star felt there was more to their story than she knew. She hoped Sister Moon’s message would explain their significance. Almost as soon as that thought emerged Luna began to speak.

“This New Moon cycle is about expansion and growth of your life vision. It is the time for the Spiritual Quest journey to dominate. Jupiter, the teacher is your guide to knowing your true Essence Self. Evening Star Venus is your guide to finding your Inner Light and sharing that Light of Love out into the world. As they travel together they are opening a Great Cosmic portal for you to receive Guidance from Creator and Great Mystery. All the resources of the Universe are available to you. All you need do is ask and you will receive. As you travel the path for this next Moon cycle remember that.” 

The sisters could feel the blessings of the Universe fill their hearts. They were excited about the journey ahead.

The week before this New Moon has been astrologically busy. I too have been very busy so have not had time to share the planetary dance. On Tuesday Nov 19 Mars entered Scorpio where he will visit until Jan 03, 2020. The theme is deep healing and transformative action. Mars in Scorpio is intense and even if we resist letting go he will do it for us. On Wednesday Nov 20 Mercury in Scorpio began to move forward. But he is still in his retrograde shadow until Dec 07. This morning as I opened this document it came up as “read only” so I had to adjust the format to continue writing. Mercury still doing his thing.  He will stay in Scorpio until Dec 09 when he then enters Sagittarius. On Friday Nov 22 the Sun entered Sagittarius and the astrological Earth entered Gemini. While the Sun visits Sagittarius (until Dec 21/22) we are being asked to translate knowledge into wisdom. Sagittarius seeks meaning and understanding. It is the sign of the Higher Self.

Jupiter at 28 degrees Sagittarius is the planetary guide for this New Moon cycle. He supports us in the growth and expansion of our spiritual vision. He has been bringing us messages from the Galactic Center of our Milky Way galaxy since mid-November while he aligned with that place of Cosmic Power. Venus in Sagittarius (the Light of Love) joined Jupiter (the Light of Wisdom and Truth) Nov 22 to 24 strengthening the connection to that Cosmic Wisdom. The Mayan culture knew about the Galactic Center. They saw it as the Portal where Souls passed through to incarnate into the physical and the Gateway where Souls ascended back into spirit. It is the place of birth, death, and re-birth. On Nov 25 the evening before the New Moon Venus has just entered 00 degrees Capricorn but is still very close to Jupiter. This is a world point and asks all us to unite in Love and send prayers of balance and peace out into the world.

There are other planetary connections that support us to awaken to our Cosmic Consciousness for this New Moon cycle. Mercury at 14 degrees Scorpio still in his retrograde shadow is supporting us to continue to heal our thoughts and fears and experience transformation. He is sextile (easy opportunities) Saturn at 17 degrees Capricorn (strengthening our spiritual foundation) and Saturn is sextile Neptune at 15 degrees Pisces (connecting to the Mystical Realms). Neptune in turn is sextile (easy opportunity) Vesta at 16 degrees Taurus (commitment to our spiritual path). But Mercury is opposite Vesta (the need to transform our perceptions). The opposition asks us to find inner balance. When we do deep healing (Mercury is trine Neptune, removal of obstacles) we touch the Wisdom of our Soul Essence Self.

There is another signature for this New Moon cycle that supports our transformational journey. Mars at 04 degrees Scorpio (transformative action) is opposite (issues of duality) Uranus Rx at 03 degrees Taurus (breaking through to what is of true value and importance).  Uranus is inconjunct (change and letting go of what no longer serves us) the Sagittarius New Moon (ego dogma or Spiritual Consciousness). There is a doorway out of this. Mars is sextile (easy opportunity) Venus (harmony) and the South Node at 08 degrees Capricorn (letting go of past wounds that limit and restrict us). Uranus is trine Venus (love) and the South Node (removal of obstacles so we can move forward with ease).  Mars is trine the North Node at 08 degrees Cancer (new spiritual directions) and Uranus is sextile it. Venus newly into Capricorn (Soul Purpose path) is square (motivation to change) Chiron Rx at 01 degrees Aries (healing so the authentic self can guide us). The Sagittarius New Moon is trine (ease and flow) the healer Chiron. The Universe always supports our journey to wholeness. All we have to do is ask and be open to receive the support.

Our Animal Totem guides for the Sagittarius Moon cycle are Elk, strength, stamina, and support of our spiritual guides, and Owl, the wisdom to see through deception and discern the truth. For the Earth in Gemini our guide is Deer, sensitivity, empathy, and compassionate love. (They are reversed for the Southern Hemisphere). For all of us the Clan Mother is Gives Praise.  She is the mother of all acts of thanksgiving and the keeper of abundance, giving and receiving. She teaches us to be grateful for the truth. (The 13 Original Clan Mothers by Jamie Sams)

This New Moon cycle is active on the Tarot Constellation of The Hierophant, the path to becoming the Wise Teacher as we learn our Soul lessons. It is also the path of dancing to the tune of a different drummer. Sagittarius is a free spirit. We are also working with 3 of the 7 Rays (Ancient Wisdom Teachings). Ray 4 of Harmony Through Conflict or Harmony Through Beauty with Archangels Gabriel, raising our consciousness to Higher Awareness, and Hope, remembering our Soul Self. The 5^th Ray of Knowledge and Healing with Archangels Raphael, the shinning one who heals, and Mary, Divine Unconditional Love. And the 6^th Ray of Idealism and Devotion with Archangels Uriel, the Dove of Peace, and Aurora Grace, harmony and love. This can be the most difficult Ray to master as idealism and devotion can often turn into dogma and doctrine. The latter is dominant in our human world right now. Let us use this Sagittarius New Moon cycle to transform human consciousness from egocentric to Soul Wisdom.

Namaste and blessings,
