Living
The Radiant Life
This lunar cycle... The Light of Sagittarius comes into our collective consciousness with this November 9 new moon, as during this cycle the Sun will be moving through the burning ground of Scorpio, activating transformation. The 12-month journey of Jupiter (ruling planet of Sagittarius) through this area of the heavenly sky concludes at the end of Sagittarius, on December 18. Jupiter itself spends November among the background stars of Ophiuchus, the Serpent-bearer. The planet moves slowly eastward throughout the month, at November's end it reaches the eastern border of Ophiuchus just as the Sun enters the constellation from the west. The Sun will remain in Ophiuchus for the first half of December, while Jupiter then crosses out, into Sagittarius. (2) Indeed, the Heavens are stimulating and emphasizing in humanity the transformation toward right relationship and the all-inclusive, wise heart.
Readings We offer these related materials for your Sagittarius meditation focus ... The Lighted Way The entire zodiac can be approached and understood from the angle of light ~ the inner light, soul light ~ and its unfolding, increasing radiance is the manifestation of our divine nature. (5) Study of the 12 different lights for each of the constellations of the zodiac reveals the symbolic story of the growth of the light body within the Soul of Humanity (the Macrocosm) and within each of us (the Microcosm), and will finally make clear the very purpose of God. The Seven Cosmic Paths "This subject is considered ... to be devoid of form and therefore incognisable to the lower concrete mind." (5) Hence it is through the practice of Living the Radiant Life that we may begin to understand the nature of Spirit, for to bring Spirit fully into our daily lives is service to the One. The Path of Training for Planetary Logoi This Third Cosmic Path is the one that keeps a person linked to the spiritual Hierarchy, which is pledged to the service of our planet. (7) Sagittarius Zodiacal Deity "Sagittarius, we are told, is the spirit of truth; it is the sum of all Truth growing out of individual revelation." (8) In Sagittarius, Soul consciousness in its early stages unfolds through the use of intuition and aspiration. Keynote: I vision. (9) Betelgeuse The sun Betelgeuse is a source of cosmic energy streaming towards our system. This influence reaches our system by way of the sign Sagittarius. (10) Night Sky ~ Moon Dances During each lunar cycle the Moon, waxing and waning, journeys through the zodiac. It partners with and enlivens the sparkling stars and glowing planets along the way. As the Moon grows in the light provided by our Sun, we too grow in the light of our Soul.
Preparation for Participation in This Meditation Focus Consider ... What is the appropriate way to join in this meditation ... you may wish to participate in group formation on the physical plane as well as on the inner planes. Whether or not you choose to be "alone" on the physical plane, know you are uniting with many others who also are attuning to the energies available at this Global Festival, and that this group focus creates a powerful channel for the meditation to be potent and effective. If you are unable to meditate at the exact time of the full moon, choose a time within 12 hours before or after to be part of this group meditation. Prior to your meditation take the needed time to create a sacred space and spiritually align your energies. We Recognize, the Full Moon Festivals Culminate over a Five-Day Period ... Our meditation focus beginning at the new moon leads into the two "days of preparation" immediately preceding the full moon. These are to be dedicated to spiritual reflection and detachment from everyday concerns, as each prepares to become a vessel for the energies of light and love they will receive and channel. At this time we hold the attitude of dedication and service, and seek to assume that attitude of receptivity to that which our soul will impart which will make us of spiritual use. The day of the full moon itself is the "day of safeguarding," one of inner peace and silence during which we attempt to contact and consciously hold the energies for the rest of humanity. We will not formulate for ourselves what will happen, nor will we look for results or tangible effects. While one may not observe the exact moment when the moon is full, it's important to find some quiet time to reflect alone or use this opportunity to meditate with others of like mind and focus. The two succeeding days are called the "days of distribution." We now turn the attention outwards, away from ourselves, and our efforts are to pass on the spiritual energies that have been contacted. We assist these spiritual energies, transformed into goodwill, in flowing to where there is greatest need. If you wish, feel free to continue use of this meditation for the entire month of Sagittarius. We now continue to hold the high space throughout this most auspicious day of the full moon, an important time to still the mind and maintain inner peace, a time of spiritual retreat and contact. The Full Moon Cycle We Are Observing ... From the new moon on Friday, November 9 through Sunday, December 9, 2007, the end of Sagittarius's lunar cycle. These additional links may be of assistance in your Sagittarius meditation focus: Sagittarius Synthesis Additional links for further understanding Sagittarius Labor of Hercules "Sagittarius has sometimes been called 'the sign of the effect of Scorpio'. The moment we have freed ourselves from illusion, that moment we enter into Sagittarius and we see the goal. We have never really seen it before, because between us and the goal there is always to be found that cloud of thought forms that prevents us from seeing it." (11) Transformation~Pluto Following Pluto's recent transit through the constellation Scorpio, Pluto has been in a lengthy conjunction throughout 2007 with the galactic centre ~ the heart of our galaxy ~ at 27 degrees Sagittarius. Mutable Cross This is the Cross of temporal and temporary change, of fluidity and of those constantly altering environments driving the soul within the form from one extreme of experience to another, which shuttles the life between the pairs of opposites.
