Ra Ma:Oh great ancient ones, great ancestors, we call to you. May you hear the voices of your descendants traversing through time and space. We humbly ask for your support, your wise medicine ways and your genius solutions in these times. Dear ancestors, we wish to partner with you for we know we cannot do this alone. As we traverse the mystery we ask that you, our starry ancestors are with us each breath of the way. May we have clarity of mind and Crystaline vision to see through the dark. May we walk our paths of high holy truth as that is what is needed now more than ever. And so it is.
Ra Ma:Welcome to episode 71. The Capricorn Super New Moon is upon us and simultaneously we have reached the solstice point. In the northern hemisphere we have welcomed in winter solstice, and the southern hemisphere has welcomed in summer solstice. Each of these Solstice points are peaks. The summer solstice offers the zenith of the sun and the brightness of the light. Whereas the winter solstice offers the greatest descent of darkness. And that hope and that promise and that return of the light. Winter Solstice is an essential time for going into the route energy, to ground and to anchor into the physical body, to see your physical body as the body temple and a divine channel for your soul, your essence, that which is eternal, to have a space, a place to embody in this incarnation. As you go deeper into your journey, your life, the more you can find the holiness within the physical body. I believe the more you can really anchor the celestial starry wisdom that you brought here to Earth. And there's something so magical about the solstice gateway in the sense that the energy is very palpable and it's such a profound time to meditate. As you find your truth and your essence and you reunite with that you reclaim you rebirth, you renew.
Ra Ma:This Friday, we have the Capricorn Super New Moon and just about 45 minutes before the new moon, Chiron shifts direct. Chiron is known as the wounded healer. And I like to work with Chiron as the Rainbow Bridge, this archetypal frequency that very much speaks to our core wounds and our core challenges that we've experienced from what I found truly within womb life itself when we were developing within our mother's womb. And there's a journey with that core trauma, that core wound that over time has the potential to become our greatest medicine. And when we come to the Chiron return around the age of 50, 52, we have come to a place, a space of embodiment, Chiron has been in Aries since 2019. And as Chiron stations Direct this Friday, at 11 degrees 56, arc minutes, Aries. This happens at 4:31am. Eastern Standard Time, I really encourage you to notice what arises for you on this day, as when different planets, asteroids and stars, these astronomical beings when they make a station, whether it's retrograde or direct. This offers a moment in time and space, that if you are subtle, and sensitive and aware, it can be very palpable. And quite often what arises, gives you a key to unlock. If you actually look at the Glyph of Chiron, in many symbols, the way that it's drawn, it is actually a keyhole. And this speaks to the power of Chiron really bridging the planet Saturn to Uranus, Saturn being the planet that was the furthest out in orbit from the standpoint of traditional astrology. And as we bridge out to these outer transpersonal planets, including Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, we go into the space of collective reality and collective consciousness. And we're continuing to expand out because beyond Pluto, we have Sedna, and one could continue to go out and out and out. And I believe that astrology will be drastically shifting within the next couple of decades. And what we know in this moment will be so different. And Chiron in Aries really is looking to heal your connection to yourself, your identity, your story, where you have sought to be an adventurer, and independent and also innocent in your connection to your vitality, and your pure primal lifeforce. Chiron can offer you an opportunity to reconnect, to recalibrate with your own unique story and identity. So that you may transform what was seen as obstacles or blocks or challenges and allow them to be the markers of a marvelous, fantastic allegory. That is the life of you, your own power and potential.
intentions, write to yourself:"who am I?" The Capricorn Super New Moon aligns at 5:16am Eastern Standard Time on this Venus day the 23rd of December 2022. And we began the year of 2022 with a Capricorn New Moon. Therefore we are book ending this year of Hieros Gamos, the year of the lovers, the year where ultimately you have this ability to align with your essence, your truth and a whole newfound way. Because so many of us have been on these deep journeys of evolution, and have come to understand that quite often what we've been seeking outside of ourselves has been buried within ourselves all along. The Capricorn Super New Moon aligns at one degree 32 arc minutes. And with this new moon, we have Venus, Mercury and Pluto all married to the sun and the moon. In this earthy and industrial sign of Capricorn. Capricorn season is such a powerful time to align your vision and to look not just at what's in front of you, but to look at the terrain to attempt a 360 degree perspective to see far and wide and to be willing to roll up your sleeves and take action steps forward to bring your dreams aground.
intentions, write to yourself:In my opinion, I believe this new moon offers the most reliable, and really the most palpable frequency to vision your dreams and desires for the year of 2023. And on this day, there's also Jupiter in Aries is squaring the moon which creates this like dynamic tension around your visions around your ideas, as Jupiter is that planet of expansion, and so you can use the dynamic tension as this platform of power so that you may go the distance in 2023. As we begin the new year, both Mercury and Mars will be retrograde. And so I believe this super new moon with that frequency of the solstice is so key to aligning your vision for all of 2023 which is a year of great magic, and a year of massive forward momentum.
intentions, write to yourself:I invite you to take time on this day to write your new moon intentions and focus on ones that consider your personal growth, your creative endeavors, your health, your wealth, your travel, your relationships, your soul work, and the more mundane rhythms and rituals that help you anchor these dreams into your life. I always suggest writing anywhere between two and 10 intentions. With the phrase "I am easily and effortlessly finding myself..." and to utilize a clear map of how to maneuver 2023 with agility and intelligence.
intentions, write to yourself:I invite you to commit to the 2023 masterclass. I have a pre recorded masterclass available for you with a beautiful slideshow. And it will outline all of the key astrological and archetypal energies we're working with for 2023 so that you can have a year that feels really nourishing and that also feels like these dreams that you've been tending to for the last few years that they can really begin to anchor and become manifest here on Earth. As we enter into Capricorn season. It is this time of year where you really want to consider your structure and how you're organizing yourself how you're using your sacred lifeforce. And as Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, who is often seen as Lord of Karma and Lord of time and space. Saturn is this great teacher that wants you to experience a sensation of self mastery in this lifetime. And Saturn has a very particular way of building and growing and evolving and at times can feel cold and distant. Yet Saturn brings us these lessons that help us to know our true essence and to know how to architect our realities in this lifetime. And Saturn is very important right now as it is completing the Aquarius journey and by March 7 of 2023 will be slipping into Pisces. So all of these Capricorn placed planets in this super new moon are answering to Saturn and Aquarius. And there's an opportunity for you to really dive into that part of your chart from about 15 degrees to the late 29 degrees of Aquarius to see where Saturn is transiting and completing its journey for you personally, so that you may utilize this opportunity to build and to grow and to apply your own personal self mastery experience as it will be many many many years before Saturn comes back around to one of his 2 home signs being Capricorn and aquarius. As you make your new moon intentions you may wish to affirm, "I open myself to light, I open myself to truth, I open myself to hope."
intentions, write to yourself:On Saturday, the 24th of December, Mercury sextiles Neptune so Mercury in Capricorn is assisting you with communicating your need for accomplishments and order, in a way that is aligning you with that great dream that you have been holding and caring for, that got particularly activated with the great conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune in Pisces on the 12th of April 2022. And that great dream is continuing to be thread into our lives so that it can become manifest step by step.
intentions, write to yourself:On the 28th of December, next Wednesday, Mercury day we have the third and final pass for the United States Pluto return. Pluto, a planet that represents psychological death and rebirth. And this third and final pass occurs at 7:38am. The first pass was in February of 2022 and the second in July of 2022. And the United States is having its first Pluto return but because the United States is seen as such a global nation right one of the world's superpowers, the ramifications of the Pluto return will affect every person on the planet. And so how we choose to integrate the culmination of this Pluto return with Pluto finishing the late degrees of Capricorn and will soon dip into Aquarius on the third week of March of 2023. And then in the summer, Pluto will go retrograde and slip back into Capricorn. However, there's something very particular about this third pass that is happening at the end of December of 2022. Because it is giving us an opportunity to make choices that will affect our collective reality for many generations to come. This is essential to how we're building our new Earth consciousness. And the reality is we each vote for the future with our current actions, with how we move energy forward, with where we give our time and attention and how we utilize our sacred bodies and these lives and how we connect and weave with one another. And so the truth is, is even though at times you may feel insignificant and you may feel small. Each one of us votes for reality, and the future with what we do with our sacred time and attention. You are breaking generational curses, and implementing new possibilities for your descendants. It is so key in this current astrology to stay aligned with your truth as we have these shifts with Chiron and Pluto and the Super New Moon and what is getting stirred up through the psyche because of the Mars Retrograde.
intentions, write to yourself:There's so much transpiring and as we begin the new year, the energy might feel a little challenging to move new ideas forward and that's why you really want to create your intentions and your visions now for 2023 and tend to them, nurture them, nourish them, and have patience. Have patience in those first few months of 2023. Because as we come to Thursday, the 29th of December, we have mercury stationing retrograde. This is at 4:32am eastern standard time at 24 degrees 21 arc minutes Capricorn. And Mercury is really calling for great truth and divine beauty, as both Venus and Pluto are conjunct Mercury at this retrograde station, which is ultimately speaking to the importance of truth, the importance of your value system and your commitment to live your values regardless of what the perceived cost or investment is. Because we have to look simultaneously at the Now moment, but also project into future possibilities. And even though sometimes it can feel like you have to invest more in the now, you must strategize and consider the future and know in your heart that your investments in this Now moment will pay off over time. And when we're speaking about truth, and mutual reciprocity, and right action, and a commitment to the earth and the elements. These are processes that build over time, and that build with care and love and compassion and nourishment. You will succeed now by restructuring, rewriting and revising your orientation for the year ahead. Be patient with a slow start to the year and instead of pushing forward, allow yourself to edit your plans for their greatest success. And at the end of Thursday at 8:20pm, we culminate with our first quarter moon in Aries. This is giving you a moment of tension as you're growing those new moon intentions and you're beginning to feel what it is you want to manifest in 2023 and where the challenges are potentially appearing. And you may utilize these challenges to extend your nervous system to extend your capacity to hold more and to know that you are so capable of creating many many, many solutions and many, many many miracles. And so this area's first quarter moon is a potential springboard. So you may cultivate a whole new way of taking initiative in your life.
