AWAKEN TO SELF-MASTERY
“It is always darkest just before the Day dawneth.”
~ Thomas Fuller
Today is the 2014 WINTER SOLSTICE, the NEW MOON IN CAPRICORN, and the commencement of forward motion with planet URANUS. This is a rare and powerful combination!
*****
WINTER SOLSTICE
In the WHEEL OF THE YEAR, the Winter Solstice is the time of greatest darkness and yet also the point when the light begins to return to the world.
In the WHEEL OF THE SOUL, the Winter Solstice is the time of full embodiment of consciousness.
Mythologically, the Winter Solstice is the time of the incarnation of the CHILD OF LIGHT.
*****
NEW MOON
The NEW MOON is the time when the Sun (masculine expression) and Moon (feminine reception) conjoin.
The Moon receives her light from the radiance of the Sun, and gives back life. The Moon’s pull on the Earth creates tides, which facilitated genesis of the components of life as well as the evolution of life.
This is a time of SPIRITUAL CONCEPTION.
*****
CAPRICORN
The Winter Solstice always occurs when the Sun reaches zero degrees of Capricorn. This Winter Solstice is special because the Moon is also at zero degrees of Capricorn.
Capricorn is the sign of hard work and diligence that leads to SELF-MASTERY.
*****
URANUS STATIONING DIRECT
Uranus is also ending its retrograde motion (stationing direct) today.
Uranus is called the “GREAT AWAKENER”. Uranus is associated with the the High Self, or HOLY GUARDIAN ANGEL. Uranus spends seven years in each sign, and therefore carries the energy of the octave and continually seeks to bring in a higher vibrational frequency.
When Uranus is retrograde, the revelation tends to be directed inward, like a GESTATION. When Uranus stations direct then it is a time of DELIVERY, or manifestation, of that revelation. When Uranus begins moving forward then the world is given the revelation as a PRESENTATION.

LUCID DREAM ANALOGY
What does it mean that all of these astrological aspects are happening at the same time?
Imagine dreaming, and then realizing that you are dreaming. You suddenly become aware of your true nature and see through the the fantasy of your dreamscape. You no longer identify with the fictional persona of your dream self.
Similarly, it is possible at any moment during your waking life disentangle from the illusion of the world. The ego is a temporary persona that you have created to serve as a vehicle for your soul growth in this lifetime. It is transitory. What is important is the soul growth. Intense challenges prepare the ego to serve as a vehicle for our TRUE SELF.
Even during a time of great unconsciousness, we can suddenly attain ENLIGHTENMENT.
*****
DIAMOND ANALOGY
Coal and diamond are both made up entirely of carbon atoms.
A lump of coal is coarse and unrefined. When placed under tremendous pressure for long periods of time the carbon atoms within coal may realign into a diamond.
The ego is prepared through the challenges of life to receive INNER ILLUMINATION.
*****
OUTWARD MANIFESTATION
These transits undoubtedly reflect the current crises we are witnessing around the world, as well as the opportunities presented by those crises.
Capricorn is associated with the ESTABLISHMENT. Major shifts are needed within banks, corporations, religious groups, and governments. By the time Pluto enters Aquarius in 2024, we will see those shifts. First we must break down the outworn and outdated forms before new forms can be manifested to hold humanity’s RISING CONSCIOUSNESS.
*****
INWARD MANIFESTATION
Many people are experiencing tremendous challenges on a personal level. They feel as if they are being PUSHED OVER THE EDGE, and it is beyond what they believe they can handle.
Today a seed is planted in the subconscious for something new to grow. In every crisis there is an OPPORTUNITY.
