| Dear Moonies, Better late than never, says the old saying - here is my Newsletter for this Moonth! The Capricorn New Moon was yesterday, Saturday, December 27 at 7:23 am EST, 1 week after the Winter Solstice. The Light is returning to those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, so let us celebrate the joy of the season, remembering the Ancient Ones who left us the Wisdom of connecting to Nature via the Wheel of the Year and Astrology. This Moonth, we have the New Moon in Capricorn (12/27/08), and the Full Moon in Cancer (1/10/09). This Astrological axis teaches us to respect the Ancestors, as well as to consider the Generations to come. They invite us to re-consider our roles in society and in the family, and how we might en-vision a new kind of Earth, taking the best of the Past, so that we may forge a powerful Future, based on the values of (prior)Traditions which honors All Life. Our focus this Cycle will be on the Archetypes of Mother and Father, The Roots and the Foliage of the Sacred Tree of Life, our Divine Lineage and through these what we choose to Re-Member back into our Consciousness so that we may leave a Legacy of Love, Respect, and Responsibility (Ability to Respond) for all Time. The Native American and World Indigenous Traditions are highlighted this Cycle, as we endeavour to create a New World Order (not one based on negative corporate, economic and political greed, but one that is in healthy alignment with the coming age of Aquarius - a New Family Tribe that embraces the Diversity of All Life - more to come on this during the next Cycle with the Aquarius New Moon). Interestingly, Capricorn also 'rules' positions of power & authority, most importantly - the Office of the Presidency. My sense is that regardless of your political views, it is important this month to envision our Government shifting power in a graceful and honorable manner. During this Cycle (on 1/20/09), we will be bidding 'adieu' to Mr. Bush and clan (the 'old' world order with its ineptitude and abuse of power), and welcoming Hope and Change (actually Aquarian/Uranus traits) in the form of President-elect, Barack Obama. Whether you agree with Obama or not, Change is good in light of where the World stands poised - and we need all the Hope we can get to move us into the Future. I find it fascinating that we are in the midst of a similar Astrological configuration as we had in the mid-sixties, and with this Capricorn/Cancer cycle, we have a choice as to the way we view Authority and Tradition and the Office of the Presidency as an Archetype of World Leadership...WE ARE THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY regardless of who lives in the White House - so let us be sure to focus on what AUTHORITY means to us personally, and come to an understanding of what the word 'RESPONSIBILITY' really means - If it's to be, it's up to me - so pray, meditate, en-vision, and make your Mark upon the world for the next generations to come, by vibrating highly - the ability to respond when the world calls - not with guns and ammunition, but with our Voices united - let us celebrate the Return of the Light (Solstice) and the Foundation of a New Government, where We the People never again give away our Rights and Power to anyone. Saturn as ruler of Capricorn teaches us, however painfully, that we ALWAYS get what we deserve - that is the nature of Karma - what we vibrate out, is what vibrates right back to us (and so also says the Witch/Sourceress in me). Karma is NOT an 'eye for an eye' but it is all about resonance! Make it your Goal and Intention this Moonth to check your Resonant Frequency so that Saturn brings back to you as an individual/us as a collective the very Change we have dreamed of for so long. Ok, enough said on that. Y'all get it?! The planet Saturn 'rules' over this month's New Moon, and calls to mind 'Father Time' as well as the Ancient Crone. We need not fear 'old age' or the apparent death of winter-season, because inherent in these Archetypes/Time is the promise of Wisdom and with it the choice to soon plant new seeds. The Moon will 'rule' over this cycle's Full Moon and of course that means we have the opportunity in 2 weeks to check our emotional bodies, and Nature in all her wisdom gives us the Winter-time opportunity to make like the bears and enter our caves, to replenish and prepare. The road ahead will be long and we will need all the energy reserves we can muster, both for our personal goals, as well as the Collective Body of Consciousness. So, now, it's Winter - let us go within, hibernate, meditate and receive from Great Spirit a new set of Directions so that come Spring-time, we will know which seeds to plant for the coming New Zodiacal Year. As we celebrate the success of the Old Year (Spring through Winter) and what we have achieved, we can put our Souls to rest within the Arms of the Great Mother/Father, so that we may Emerge, re-newed and re-vitalized in 3-months time at Spring Equinox. Let us follow Nature's wise ways, and enter into the Stillness and Silence of our Souls... |
For Those of You Who Are Working with Silvia's MoonCoach Process (or who would like to): We have reached the 10th step in the Zodiacal Journey, and this corresponds to the topmost point on the Wheel. This represents the SUMMIT towards which we are reaching. Having reached the top, we now must take other considerations, such as what we can do for the world. We begin to leave aside our personal agenda, having succeeded, and take on the role of AUTHORITY, LEADER or MENTOR within our Community. This is the sign of the MASTER TEACHER, guiding us from the Summit. Having celebrated WINTER SOLSTICE, and entered into the depths of one's own Soul, we begin to leave behind us that which we have labored for since last Spring. During this Winter Cycle, we begin the process of allowing our Seed Intention to retreat back into the Earth's Womb, to hibernate until the next cycle in Spring when it will be reborn. The sign Capricorn corresponds to the Winter Cycle, and therefore to OLD AGE. A certain freedom comes with Age, and usually it's called MATURITY and WISDOM. This is why we look to our ELDERS for guidance - they've been around for a long time and have lived through the experiences that Youth is just beginning to struggle with. Consider your own INNER WISE ELDER/CRONE this moonth, and tap into your own vast reservoir of the Wisdom gained from EXPERIENCE. As we look back on our Lunar Journey so far, we can view it from the perspective of this Inner Wise Elder. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross said, "I believe that we are solely RESPONSIBLE for our choices, and we have to accept the CONSEQUENCE of every deed, work and thought throughout our lifetime." She works ith the dying, and it is a the Moment of Death that we review our lives, considering if we have ACCOMPLISHED what we set out to do and if we did it in a manner consistent with Great Spirit's guidance. If so, the LEGACY we leave behind is great indeed - and a (new) TRADITION may be left in place based on our unique Gift (contribution) to the WORLD. So, as you ponder on your Seed Intention this moonth, call in your CAPRICORN SELF (we ALL have one, regardless of your Sun/Moon signs) - That WISE INNER AUTHORITY, and ask how you may place your original Seed Intention (or this Moon's intention) into the World as a FOUNDATION for good. Consider how you will be remembered in light of your Dream, your Seed Intention. Ask your WISE INNER ELDER: What am I working to leave behind as my MARK on the world? What kind of LEGACY am I working towards achieving? What STRUCTURES am I creating so that my NAME is remembered in a good way? What positive new TRADITION can I build in society?

In addition, on a more mundane and practical leve, this Lunation is about career, especially as a VOCATION which is different than one's 'work.' Are you actively moving forward in your chosen profession? Also up for consideration now is your relationship with Dad, Authority Figures and your own Inner Father/Inner Patriarch. What leadership roles do you assume in your life? Do you feel that you have become your own Authority? If not, how can you embrace this role for yourself?
