December Spiritual Insights
What an exciting month we have ahead for us! The solar eclipse will take place December 26th at 9 degrees Sagittarius. This eclipse will set the tone for the New Year 2020. Sagittarius as the ninth sign of the zodiac is fiery and inspirational. It is all about finding the spiritual truth. What is beyond the physical realm is the spirit that moves and drives our lives.
The last time that Jupiter transited in Sagittarius with Ketu was in 1889. This was a time of spiritual awakening with the Spiritualist Movement in full swing with great spiritual thinkers such as Madam Blavatsky, cofounder of the Theosophical Society, Emerson, Thoreau and Alice Baily. This was also the year that the Fillmore’s started the Unity church. A new era of spirituality was born! So now again a new trend of spirituality will awaken the world.
While Jupiter is in Sagittarius it will be conjoining Ketu, which is called “the moksha karaka,” which means liberation from this world. Many say they want to achieve spirituality so they will not have to be reincarnated again into this world. This is what they perceive as spiritual liberation from this world. But in reality, the way to achieve this enlightenment is quite the opposite. To strive for spirituality to escape suffering of this world is not the way to reach moksha. The way to liberate the soul is to come from a place of loving the world and everything in it.
In October the Future of Astrology Conference was here in Dallas where the blending of minds and hearts came together with the pursuit of learning Vedic astrology. The initial class on Purva Punya and the fifth house set the tone for the entire conference. Purva Punya is the indicator of past life good karma that is due in this lifetime. But what we all felt and discovered is the power of the heart energy and the fifth house. This is what we are here to learn. When we come from this place, we experience healing of our emotions and connection to the Divine. The heart is where love and the Divine resides.
