Galactic Gifts & Planetary Presents ~ 20 Dec 2007

Tomorrow begins a new season, and with that, marks the Sun’s entry into Capricorn - the third body of three all mushed up in the early degrees of the sign of the goatfish.

What are you going to do with this pile of planets that looks like a tangle of American (U. S. American) football players struggling to maintain possession of the coveted, strangely shaped ball en route a victorious agenda? Actually that’s an image consistent with Capricorn’s urging for accomplishment, progress, success and oh yes, let us not forget evolution. Years ago, when working to read the works of Alice Bailey, it became clear that Capricorn, standing at the apex of a chart personifies the master who sits atop a mountain in solitude to grasp a glimpse of the big picture and figure out the condition of things and urge those conditions and things to evolve through the application of consciousness, will and energy. Sounds about right for our prevailing trends and certainly more optimistic than some of the forecasts for the Pluto in Capricorn generation soon upon us. This reminds me of a caution I just wrote in an e-mail to my niece, who lives in a region recently pummeled by snow storms. Don’t just clean your windshield of snow and ice; the slush and salt and such collects on headlights and tail lights, too. Clean up your lights (symbolically, the aura and perceptive view offered by each of the beaming chakras in their own way). Keep all your tools of vision clean and clear. Reduce none of your tools for sightedness, be they short sight tools or long sight tools.

With the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter in early Capricorn (and in effect through the year’s end) they form a tension building right angle to the core of our Super Galaxy as they inch off the core our galaxy; they cross the solar apex - sort of a centrifugal drift of our solar system around the Galactic Center; and commence passage over a long and persuasive line up binary, x-ray, accretion pulsars. While this might sound like a combination of abstractions that you don’t even have time to think about while in the thick of less than hasty holiday pudding, why not think of it as a galactic gift grab bag? The really cool thing about this gifting scenario is that you don’t have to choose just one gift, excluding another and missing out on some holiday delectable. You can receive three of each. You get a conscious awareness gift (Sun), a communication tool (Mercury) and a glimpse of an opportunity around which you can snuggle up with your destiny urge and big picture plans (Jupiter).

Ah right, and what exactly are the gift options again? Consider how the pressures of the holiday season often encroach on your make a good living time line, need for spiritual rejuvenation and squeezes a body into awkward social situations. The core of the Super Galaxy, an amazingly strong gravitational vortex, focuses upon us all the issue of soul mates. This does not suggest lining up with an existing or potential partner who vibes out like your cosmic one and only (talk about pressure). This point refers to the soul mate who can never leave you in a life time. This is about the mating of your spirit to your body manifesting through the application of your consciousness to conscious choice. This holiday season, keep yourself intact. Make spiritually healthy choices. Take time out for yourself. Reset your energy. Stay clear on what looks like a great destination under your properly cleaned chakra headlights and fill yourself with compatible activities. While it sounds easy, it’s hard not to cave to a few of those social and familial pressures.

Should that happen, or should any strange, off the wall, “what the hell was that all about” kind of experience enter your gallery of holiday glimpses, apply the transits to the Solar Apex. While my comprehension of this point is far from complete, I usually think of it as a cosmic funny bone of sorts. Capricorn is funny in its own dry, ironical way. When life’s contradictions and paradoxes insert wrinkles under the rug, laugh about it. How funny is it that while flying through extreme turbulence the airliner’s in-flight video cast images of majestic three masted sailing ships buffeting thirty foot waves in a storm? How funny is it that scientists claim we know 4 percent of what there is to know (that’s really silly - how do they know)? And it’s really a crack up when your elderly aunt misread your gift request list and instead of getting you karate lessons gave you a gift certificate for a marital arts workshop (you know, martial - marital) and required tools. Laugh your way through this passage and all life’s circumstances. You breathe as you laugh and loosen the jaw and third chakra-based diaphragm, both extremely sensitive to Capricorn conditions.

Last but far from least, the current Capricorn trinity cross two soft gamma ray repeaters and a massive cannibalizing accreting pulsar as well as the fastest spinning pulsar known. Sounds serious. Suspect it is. But here’s what you can do. Pulsars relentlessly transmit the same message. That’s great when serving as a light house beacon of enlightenment; it’s a drag when repeating a destiny contradicting message. The key: talk less, energetically engage more. Ever notice when verbally obsessing about a life crisis how the momentum of hopelessness takes over? Yep, the accretion works indiscriminately; it’ll make good things gooder and bad things badder. Shift. Should conflict and crisis appear - and what are the odds? - activate clear intent and apply energy to resolve the matter while speaking of it no more. It’s like magic. Included in this collection is the slick tool of defeating snags in the time management skill set. You know how daunting it can be to sort out the cellar and how one might resist such a New Year’s resolution? You have one of two choices: move to a place where they don’t build cellars or think of the task in the amount of energy it takes to complete the task instead of the time it might take to complete it. Break the energy requirements into manageable increments of energy application. All tasks convert to a projected line of accomplishment based on energy instead of the psychologically debilitating crunch of time. Feel better? Bet you’ll work faster and with less fatigue as ‘07 winds down and ‘08 spools up.

Let’s see, that looks like three planets engaging with three potent contact points, one consisting of four dynamical galactic goodies. Worst case, you get nine pressies from the galactic grab bag. If you dare reach in deeper you might come up with eighteen treasures of consciousness. What a way to enter the new season and prepare for a powerful year.
