Capricorn Winter Solstice December 21 & Sagittarius New Moon December 12 & Cancer Full Moon December 28, 2012
November was a month with huge events; big celestial configurations, with a Solar and Lunar Eclipse reflected in the devastating impact of the hurricane Sandy, and the surprising re-election of president Obama. There is no end to the challenges presented to us to grow in consciousness, with the thrust to learn how to deeply care for each other. The bigger picture is that we will only thrive as individuals in our society if the driving force of creation is coming from a higher perspective of oneness, instead of being driven solely by greed for power and money.
The alignment of the Winter Solstice 2012 is said to be an extra special moment in time, highlighting the precise alignment of the earth with the Galactic Center, the center of our Milky Way galaxy. This moment in time is referred to as the end of the Mayan Calendar. It is said to be the end of a 26,000 year cycle and deemed an advance in collective consciousness. Girl, do we need that!
I want to emphasize that we have plenty of celestial markers to indicate that we are indeed living in times of big changes of consciousness …
Highlights of the Month
The highlights of the month are the conjunction of Venus with the North Node in Scorpio Uranus, turning direct just a few hours after the New Moon which is also a Super Moon; the Sun being squared by Uranus on Dec 25 and the Sun conjunction with Pluto. All this gives us plenty of compelling reasons to integrate shadow material into our collective and individual consciousness. In order to experience true self-empowerment and shine forth from higher levels of consciousness, we need to learn how to be in alignment with our highest integrity, showing kindness and love.
New Moon in Sagittarius
This New Moon is a Super Moon which means it is closest to the earth, increasing the electromagnetic and gravitational pull on earth’s tides and tectonic plates. I remember that it was a similar situation when the earthquake in Japan hit. On the same day that happened, Uranus also entered into the fiery sign of Aries.
Sagittarius always wants to teach us a higher wisdom perspective by pushing us beyond our boundaries in order to grow. It is a sign which values freedom and adventure. The New Moon always starts a new round of growing into higher levels of emotional awareness. This month you want to become more aware of how you have been underestimating yourself in your life. Be more outrageous and daring! Give life a chance to lift you up into new dimensions of understanding yourself and others. This is your contribution to the possibility of a quantum leap in collective consciousness supported by Uranus turning direct.
Cancer Full Moon
The Sun Pluto conjunction opposing the Full Moon sheds light into shadowy corners of your individual life as well as collectively. I expect the dysfunctions we have been putting up with in governments, organizations and our society will become even more visible. The Cancer Moon wants to take care and nourish, heal and guide.
In the aftermath of hurricane Sandy we are put to the test about how we handle this from a humanitarian perspective. Do we truly care or do we just go back to business as usual if we are so fortunate to live in an area which has not been impacted? I believe in the Red Cross as a wonderful place to donate in situations like this.
Originally being from Germany, I was brought up with the stories of the American Care packages arriving in Germany after the Second World War. Imagine the amazing American spirit to give to people in dire need, not only in another country but a country which started the war to begin with…Let us strive as individuals to make a difference for each other in whatever way we can!
