“Go, said the bird, for the leaves were full of children,
Hidden excitedly, containing laughter,
Go, go, go said the bird: humankind
Cannot bear very much reality.
Time past and time future
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end which is always present.” TS Eliot
“I recognize my other self and in the waning of that self I glow and grow,” Alice Bailey
We are still under the influence of the recent Winter Solstice when the Sun entered Capricorn on December 21. This time of the year is a sacred portal of sorts and a good time to contemplate your personal evolutionary process – particularly about actions and decisions that were made over the past year and how they played out.
Now is the time to consider movement forward and how and if plans and aspirations might benefit from adjustment.
This week – through Friday -Mercury will be squaring Saturn. This is a good influence for turning inward. Conversations may become more serious and comments may be taken more seriously than intended.
Mercury will also be opposing Jupiter Keeping speech moderate, balanced and thoughtful will be beneficial.
Jupiter will be square Saturn on the 24th. Saturn is the god of consequences and Jupiter is the planet of expansion. This alignment can provide insight and wisdom to what you have set in motion over the past year and how and why it played out the way it did. Again, this is helpful in charting the path forward in terms of your personal evolution.
Under this influence it’s wise to remember to temper optimism with pragmatism and pragmatism with optimism.
One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”In a quiet moment, a creative individual experiences the flow of inspiration.”
