We “get to” animate so many great symbols tonight
on the Eve of Santa Lucia/Virgen de Guadelupe,
when angels enter our bedrooms while we sleep,
singing beautiful solace and proffering glug
and ginger cookies…
Jupiter’s degree is “The Cosmic Switch Board –
telephone line-beings installing links to other realities.”
(Edward Snowden’s Moon – let’s send him a well-wishing
blessing, as he reminds us: “Don’t be afraid. Be ready.
There are more of us than them.”)
&
Mercury retrograde returns to the degree:
“The crown and torch of the Statue of Liberty –
the necessity to protect democracy from tyranny.”
Thank you Symbol Sybils… (Greeks used as the word
for a prophetess — a woman who was able to interpret
the wishes of the gods through their oracles.)
&
Saturn in its last degree of Sagittarius –
we explore Saturn’s entrance into
its own sign of Capricorn.
First time since 1988, that Saturn has been
in its own sign for its festival of Winter Solstice…
We animate what is available to us,
that Saturn be an ally, that Time is our friend.
As Eliphas Levi encourages:
“Let us conduct ourselves as though we are
Kings and Queens with all eternity before us.”
“Make haste slowly.”
Uranus stationing – inward -inward –
to prepare for January 2nd – forward motion,
as we tip our arrows with compassion,
with tyranny as their target.
Great time to set our vows,
that we no longer be hostage to our own demons,
but the transformation of our befoiblements,
personal and collective,
into liberating Trickster skills!
